This is a scene wrestling fans the world over have witnessed on countless occasions, much to the misfortune of adversaries of the man considered to be the world’s greatest wrestler: Bret "The Hitman" Hart. Most successful member of the Hart family, holding every major WWF belt. A 5-time WWF champion -- matching the record set by Hulk Hogan, which was later broken by "The Rock". Was calling himself the best pro wrestler in the world when few others would have agreed, but rose to the challenge and showed an amazing drive to "walk the walk, and talk the talk."
