Opinions:
“Perhaps the most technically gifted wrestler of his generation, Bret Hart is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers. Although he was before my time, the “Excellence of Execution” has been a part of some of the most iconic matches of all-time, and has left a legacy that few will ever surpass. Personally, I feel he deserves to be in the top five.” — Matt Burgess
“We are at a point on this list where all of the aforementioned wrestlers could stake their claim at the #1 spot…and Bret Hart is no exception. For a long time, I considered Bret Hart as the best wrestler that I have ever seen. He consistently put on the best matches & his performance at the 1993 King of the Ring might be the greatest single night performance of any wrestler ever. I’m a huge mark for The Hitman & am thoroughly surprised he is not in the Top 5.” — Jay Alletto
