>>5858250>>5858282>>5858582>>5858588From 1991 until he passed the torch to stone cold, bret was fucking huge, he had a massive fan base the whole world over and was known to bring skill, hard work and legitimacy back to wwf after people were getting sick of muscle head no talent mastodons.
he was the last bastion of light in the dark murkiness that was kliq controlled booking. Even after being stuck in shitty feuds with lawler, yankem, doink hakushi and backland etc he still gave his all every night and the fans loved him for it and wwf carried on surviving.
If it wasnt for brets massive fanbase lex luger would have been the top man in the company. anyone that has seen a lex luger match will tell you how terrible this would have been.
after lex it would have been diesel.
he sold out world tour after world tour (the hart attack tour that i went to in wembley) sold untold merchandise and was well known to most people in everyday life
Tldr there was a severe dirge of talent and bret kept the wwf relevant from 91 to 97
