RIPPA Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 There was a thread this summer about "Your Favorite Wrestler And Why" Newb82wrote Posted 27 July 2014 - 02:21 PM When I was little, I was a full fledged Hulkamaniac. To the point where I would refuse to rent a PPV on VHS if I knew he lost. After him, it was Bret. He was everything a good guy should be from 1991 until 1997. His moments of crankiness made him even better, because they made him human. I was 100% on Bret's side in his war against that cowardly asshole Steve Austin. http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2405-your-favorite-wrestler-and-why/?p=224877 I already done Hogan Here ya go Justin... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingus Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Is there a No-Benoit rule here when it comes to posting matches? Just wondering, since I was about to put the Owen Tribute match here, but it felt too ghoulish. But still, Bret did a lotta cool stuff. I dunno if he is THE best, as he truly seems to think he is; but at his level, it's kinda like arguing over whether Cary Grant is a better leading man than Humphrey Bogart. He's certainly one of the all-time greats, and anything beyond that would pretty much just be splitting hairs. Here's an unsung classic from '94, an awesome sprint of a tag match with everybody bringing their working shoes: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1tbg5y_bret-hart-davey-boy-smith-vs-owen-hart-bob-backlund-wwf-action-zone-02-26-1995_sport And here's the match that was featured in Beyond the Mat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnZDyaZIPj0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXPczh8n8Ig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2WFhc3UbfQ This is, for my money, the best match of Roddy Piper's career: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x26evkg_bret-hart-vs-roddy-piper-wrestlemania-8_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, since I was about to put the Owen Tribute match here, but it felt too ghoulish. I don't personally have one - I have posted matches containing Benoit in other of the threads. Nor do I see any issue with others posting Benoit matches. In fact - I probably would have posted the Owen tribute match if I found it. I just kept seeing that other Nitro match they had.

Matt D Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'll tell my Bret story again. I just haven't had time to pull up matches. I was 9 years old in April 1991. I had gotten into wrestling the previous year, very much despite myself. My sister was on a youth soccer team with another girl whose younger brother was developmentally challenged, but a nice kid. I was nice to him while we were both dragged to their games. He was very into wrestling. He also happened to have an uncle who worked for Titan Sports. I don't know in what capacity he worked there but I don't get the impression he was too far up the food chain. Marketing or accounting or something. Anyway, because of that, my family got comped tickets at the Boston Garden sometimes. "Sometimes" sort of added up to 3 shows over a few years, but that's not the point. The point is that not only did we get to go to the show, we also got to go backstage. For the show below, we got to go backstage after the second match, I think. I remember Steamboat's entrance and being disappointed he didn't breathe the fire but I don't remember anything about the Dibiase vs Piper match. Now, as we were going down, my friend got cold feet because he was deathly afraid of Sgt. Slaughter, so I just went on alone with his uncle, and lo and behold, after a few minutes down there, we came across Bret, just out of the shower after his match with the Barbarian (which, even getting a draw, felt like an upset to me). He was incredibly nice to me, in a sort of Mean Joe Green encounter that last a minute or two, and signed the only thing we could find between our pockets, which was a ticket stub. It's not much of a story, really. A few years later, we got to go to Survivor Series 93 and met the Smoking Gunns backstage in a much more controlled environment. The business had changed a lot just in a couple of years. The point is that I met Bret when I was a kid in the sort of setting not a lot of kids got to meet a wrestler and instead of being annoyed or frustrated, he was very kind to me, and because of that, he made a fan for life.
