First of all, shut your mouth! As the greatest Bret Hart fan there ever was, I say he is a class act. You think he's a crybaby because the WWF made you beleive he was one prior to his match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 13 (the crybaby angle they did destroyed his image).
Secondly, the WWF offered Bret Hart to make a special appearance at Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto. They asked him to be the special guest referee and Bret didn't want to finish his days wearing a referee shirt. So, the WWF's Carl Demarco asked him if he would prefer to interfere at the end of evening during the main event and punch Vince Mcmahon one more time. Bret wasn't too thrilled about the idea because he thinks it will turn his whole "screw job story in Montreal" to seem like an angle. Bret wrote it in his sharpshooter column on SLAM! He turned down the offer but said at the end he was ready to settle things with Mr. Mcmahon. End of the story. Personnaly, I would have loved to see him back. Here is what I wrote to Bret about this whole thing (I wasn't able to e-mail him but here it is):
Hi. I am a long time wrestling fan. I've been watching wrestling for 16 years now and I followed your career very closely. To say the truth, The Hitman Bret Hart is my all time favorite. I am not telling you that only to flatter you; I mean it. My favorite match is Bret Hart against Owen Hart at Wrestlemania 10. You both were incredible. Nobody sells as you as you did. As an example: after you delivered the superplex from the top rope, you took a few seconds to tell your "story" before trying to pin Owen. You acted like it did really hurt even if you were the one delivering the blow. I examined the way you entred back the ring after you hurt your leg at the outside of the ring; really good. Nobody else today would have tought of jumping on his other leg to sell the injury. That is the reason why you were the excellence of execution. Whatever your final decision will be, I'll respect you; but I read the WWF made you an offer to appear at Wrestlemania. What angered me is what you wrote in your column; saying your fans woundn't like to see that Vince-Bret thing become an angle. I, one of your true fans, would love to see that for one reason: history. The real wrestling fans know the truth about that story and I personnaly think it won't destroy dignity. With all due respect, I think it might even ..........bring it back! Bret Hart is a man, men die, but history remains. How proud would I be to say to my children and my grand children: Bret Hart, the best there ever will be, made the biggest comeback in history. He elevated himself to megastar status by prooving everyone he would not stay down. That day, at Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto, would be remembered forever. Bret Hart came back in glory and settled it once and for all. I taped the raw right after your brother's death and I listened to Shane Mcmahon's comments; it was really cool. He said he had so much fun with you and Owen and the Mcmahon-Hart familly were friends for so long. He told a couple of stories involving you and Owen. I think he was sincere. As human beings, I wish you reconciliate with Vince and I hope you will. I strongly beleive in God and when you stop thinking about that, you have to accept YOU are not perfect and Vince is not perfect either but no one made excuses. I hope you are strong enough to forgive; I am not telling you to forget what happened but you could love him despite what he did. Bret Hart has to win that fight someday. Sunday march 17 2002, there will be 70 000 fans helping you win that fight; that could be the day. I know what you think, your moral values won't die through this. You once said: What they did is they murdered this Hitman caracter. The hitman could come back to life and take the chance to leave without dying, on an honorable note. To tell you the truth, I was there in Montreal at the showdown and I heard what Vince had to say after it happened. He wanted a dramatic ending, that's what I would have wished too. As a pure Bret Hart fan in the audience, I was screaming for you, holding up my sign. But when I think about it today, the greatest ending is being able to recognize how great you were by losing your last match. Sounds weird, hein? But that's the way I would have taken it. In fifty years from now, I don't see any ending with the WWF champion winning his last match and saying goodbye as the champ. Those who will watch his final match ten years later will say: where did he go? Why did he retired? Will somebody carry the torch? Realizing we're just humans; even if you're the greatest WWF champion of all time. However, caracters can live in memory forever and I strongly think you should say goodbye on a good note. Thanks for reading my toughts.
I respect you Bret! Peace.

Bullshit, no noe deserves shit like that!
I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah. it's me. Mr AntiLuchadore.
Bret Hart was a true mat legend. However, he was only as good as his opponent. When he wrestled Goldberg, he was severly limited to how well he could carry the match off. But him with Shawn Michaels and see how great a match they give.

Shut my mouth? Easy there hot rod. It's a TV show.
Bret Hart insisted that he "retire" from wrestling as the WWF champ, which is unheard of. Being a "class act" means that if you leave (especially to a competing organization), you turn over the belt. Oh, but not Bret Hart. He's above all that. He had to leave as the champ. Well fuck that. No one is above that kind of tradition. Hell, even Hogan isn't that arrogant. It was that arrogance that got him "screwed." He had it coming.

I can't disagree more with ya! Bret Hart made the other wrestlers look good in any match. Big guys like the undertaker or Diesel were kind of boring to see in a main event against any other opponents. But, Bret Hart did great against those two and was one of the rare wrestlers to put a good match in a main event with them at the time. Take a look at the survivor series 1995 or the royal rumble 1996. These matches were great. Shawn Micheals was able to do the same thing as Bret Hart with the big guys because of his atlhetic abilities but Hart did it in another way; with his techniques and his art to "tell the stories " in the ring. No one sells realisticly like Bret Hart; he doesn't over-sell and always remembers he's in pain or has an injury. Almost of the hitman's matches were good.
