Bret Hart is one of my favorites, but why do that headbutt move?

[GPBear]

Breh, I was watching old Bret Hart footage yesterday on mushroom (that pink leotard is vibrant af btw) and wondering the exact same thing.

Like, couldn't a boot to the abdomen suffice?

Especially for a guy all about "psychology" and flow of the match, it just seemed strange. Though I suppose his reasoning would be "Because it weakens their mid-section, which makes them tap for the spinebuster" but c'mon.

the fact that you can picture the rest of that move is dope to me.

he'd hit that, the Russian leg sweep, the elbow off the 2nd rope. the sharpshooter. then it was a wrap

Real question is, why don't more heavyweight guys like Cena, Orton and them use the 2nd rope anymore?

no idea, but Austin would do the 2nd rope elbow too. its a good move.

Is there anyone who does a Mist move nowadays?

Second rope elbow Bret/Austin style has to be one of the more moves from a knee stand point.

It caused the Sharshootper to hurt even more when he starts yanking back on that same area

HitGOAT has a reason for everything

Bret also did a stomp to the midsection as well

If we're calling on this, then we can't let The Rock get away with his constant lovetaps of nikkas below the belt.

He spit on his hand before this one



So either we're gonna be consistent, or we'll just accept that a low blow fukks everything up and is one of the most effective attacks in the world.

Wtf, I don’t remember him doing this Up there with Road Dogg doing the Hump Handle Drop

This gets a pass though:

[Nintendough]

Goat move. Hitman is the goat. He made stone cold and hbk

Goldberg made Bret

Wtf, I don’t remember him doing this

I couldve sworn that was Nation/Corporate Rock's Signature Move along with the People's Elbow,Samoan Drop,Spit In Hand before the Big Punch,Spinebuster and later the Sharpshooter
