In this thread, can we at least agree, Bret Hart is far superior to HBK and anyone else who thinks differently, is a WWE plant? In the 90s, yeah, but I feel like people underrate his 02-10 run. He had the match of the year (in WWE at least) almost every year during that period, and several other contenders as well. Think that pushes him beyond. Nope, not having it. Michaels made it about him. Bret made it about the match.

Bret got brilliant matches out of Nash, PCO and some other absolute shit. Shawn barely got 30 seconds out of Khali. Bret would’ve made that guy. Also, Bret had some proper heaters in WCW. His booking was dog shit, his bell to bell was some of his best work. Particularly his crippling of knees. Had a great program with DDP and Booker T too. Going into fantasy booking, Bret vs Eddy, Bret vs Jericho and Bret vs Christian gives me a huge erection! Bret vs Angle. We got Bret vs Benoit though. Last great match in WCW history?

What maniac booker in WCW was so high on getting Bagwell into the main event?! I'm guessing Dusty?

Think they lived super close to each other at the time, and Dusty helped train him. Jobs for the boys and all that. Guy had a great body and decent amount of charisma, but just couldn't really hang.

There were a couple of really great Cruiser matches in WCW. Jung Dragons vs 3 Count ladder match, for example. Not sure if anyone watches NXT, but HIT ROW are so fucking good.

What the actual Shango was that finish to 'Mania VIII? That whole DQ/run-in sequence was botched, right? The timings seem miles off. Also the (actually really enjoyable) Championship match isn't the main event or even in the last hour ? Bret and Piper was excellent though.

Forget the finish. Who in a million years thought it was a good idea to have Yokozuna in the main event of a show held outside in a desert for starters? That whole PPV is just a disaster. Think I've talked about it before. 'Taker vs El Gigante 🤮.

This weeks AEW Dynamite was an absolute heater of a show. What a difference a crowd makes.
