Bret Hart is probably the greatest technical wrestler of all time.
What injury did Bret suffer?

Mannerisms were all identical.Hulk Hogan was supposed to challenge or work something with Austin, he mentioned it last week. Austin took a low blow @ Hogan at the hall of fame ceremony saturday, and then tonight, neither one of them showed up on t.v. Wonder what happened?Now, I'll bet 5 bucks it was Austin. Remember when he no showed last time he was supposed to work a match with someone about a year ago? Also, WWE pumped "Hogan Knows Best" in a banner at the bottom of the screen towards the end of the night... they wouldn't have promoted it if Hogan had no showed. Also, there were several banners of superstars hanging from the rafters, one was of Hogan.Did you notice that WWE was stretching for time all night? For instance, just before the Chavo part, they showed a recap of the entire first hour. They showed every match, and what happened with every match. Then, Chavo came out and did a long drawn out promo about Eddie, although it didn't make any sense and was way too long compared to the other more important angles on the show. They then showed another segment with him backstage afterwards, and then when Flair came out, he was clearly stretching for time as well... talking about the great matches he'd had in Chicago, etc. They even showed a classic Flair match before Flair came out. Come on. This was all shit they added at the last minute to make up for the the Austin/Hogan bit not happening. Even with all the stretching and stalling, Triple H still finished the main event about 2 or 3 minutes early, then they spent tons of time with him after the match, even showing a replay of the finish. Then they showed him standing on the ramp for about a minute and a half. Totally fucked up show, the Jamal shit is just stupid, why in the hell they would go with that gimmick... AGAIN, is beyond me. I caught the Estrada and I noticed he was a a very Cuban Ric Flair. The "ha" was very old Flair-like. As for low-blowing Hogan, I saw Bret Hart on TV yesterday and he talked about how when he first won the title and saw Hogan he went up to him backstage to shake his hand (I guess Hogan was visiting) and Hogan ignored him for 5 minutes until Bret walked away, and Bret said it felt good to snub Hogan at the Hall of Fame.And if they needed to kill time, here's a revolutionary idea; get two wrestlers in there to have a match.Bret Hart is a psychopath. So I wouldn't entirely trust anything he says. For instance, he keeps insisting that he swore the day that he quit that he would never work for Vince again, so he turned down pay to appear at the Hall of Fame. Funny that he didn't turn down the pay Vince is giving him to do the Hart DVD, and he didn't have any problems touring the entire world to promote the DVD. It's also funny that he's allowing Vince to sell "Bret Hart" t-shirts at live events and on WWE.com... but, he's not working for them, right? Such a fucking hypocrite. Plus, he said in his speech "I swore that night, that if they ever wanted me to join the hall of fame, I'd be here". Yeah. I'm sure he thought of it that night. To close, his continued bitterness towards Shawn Michaels, who was doing what he was told, and his ability to work for Vince McMahon, the guy who told Shawn to do it, makes absolutely no fucking sense. I think Bret had mental issues long before Goldberg kicked him in the head.

in the ring, Bret Hart was definately one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and Bret Hart never hurt 1 person in the ring.
I never understood why Bret has reconciled with Vince, but still holds a grudge with Michaels. I mean, I love Bret, but that's just plain stupidity on his part. I feel bad for the guy. I feel in a way he's envious Shawn Michaels. How they both suffered serious injuries, but HBK was able to overcome it and how HBK seems to be happy with life since becoming born-again. Bret took the exact opposite path. He became very bitter (regardless of what he says, it's in his demeanor) and is a shell of the man he once was. No way I take sides between the two, since Vince was at fault. I feel bad for them both because they could of had many great matches. The 2 matches they had (Survivor Series 97 and their champ vs. champ match) were both great.

If you listen to some Bret Hart interviews & watch his DVD, he has explained numerous times as to why he hates HBK.As for the whole Bret being bitter; all you have to do is look at Bret's life after Montreal & you can see why he's bitter. WCW fucks up his career, he loses his brother, has his career ended by a mule kick to the head by Goldberg, he loses his brother-in-law, he loses his mom, he loses his dad, he gets divoced from his wife of 20 years, & he has a stroke that almost killed him. I would say the guy has a right to be bitter.
I wanna watch that Bret Hart DVD but no way Ima buy. Can anyone hook it up
