Bret is one of the most important wrestlers in history for all the right reasons, gay magazine posing bitches need not respond.

What Bret ended up being is what Randy Savage wanted to be.

Bret is a great wrestler, one of my favorites. But he had no business thinking he was a Hogan level megastar. It just wasn't going to happen no matter how he was booked.

If they kept Scott Hall away from Television in 1992, they could have easily debuted him and Kevin Nash at the same time and did the Outsiders storyline, simply turning Hogan heel that way

If this actually lead to Bret vs. Hogan with Hogan passing the torch like Bret thought it was planned, it would've been based. Yes, Bret wasn't as big of a star as Hogan, but no one was. Hogan was leaving and Bret was the best choice to carry the torch.

Bret got Steve over but him making Rock is his headcanon, Dwayne was always Vince and Patterson's pet project. He wasn't over until long after Bret was gone.

Well fingerpoke will always be dumb no matter what. Why would a wrestler ever want to actually lose his title? In kayfabe we are told having the title is everything to these guys. So to willingly lose your title like that is just plain dumb there is no way around that. Hogan stealing Bret's spotlight isn't nearly as retarded.

Because he was the draw. If you even tried to injure Hogan, you'd have people looking to beat your ass. It's like when Stan Hansen broke Bruno's neck and Vince Sr. sent him to Japan so the other wrestlers wouldn't murder him for putting the draw out of action.

It was retarded because it made Bret look like a bitch and ruined Yokozuna's monster heel image by beating him in less than a minute.

No shit, it was Hulk Hogan winning the world title. It even got a huge pop 9 years later. Bret Hart might be good at this wrestling shit but this was Hulk Hogan, the star of the WWF. Even after being away for a year and in pants, he was still the point of the show.

When the hell has the "torch" ever truly been passed in wrestling once Hogan brought wrestling mainstream? So from the mid 80's to now when has this ever truly happened outside of Roman Reigns hundred or so coronations as the top star of the company? I am expecting answers.
