Ask anyone who the best technician is in pro wrestling history.
You'll universally hear "Bret 'Hitman' Hart." He was one of the most popular wrestlers, and I watched
many of his matches throughout the 90's: very exciting and such a huge draw.
In short, the Hitman was probably the greatest show performer ever. Due to lost interest, I hadn't followed
WWF since 1997 or so. Nowadays, I'll flip through the channels and catch WWE occasionally, but it's not
the same anymore.
If you've heard the words "Montreal Screwjob," look no further than Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows
which explains everything. Also fascinating is the behind-the-scenes of how the professional wrestling world
works. At this point, it becomes increasingly hard to tell which is the truth and which is not. Even the
veracity of the documentary is also questionable. Meanwhile, it's eerie to see a shot of Bret standing next to
Owen Hart and The British Bulldog and also others he wrestled against because some of them would pass
away years later.
All in all, Bret "Hitman" Hart is still the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
