Bret wishes he was this electrifying

Even if Bret Hart's career hadn't been ended early, i don't think he could have had the matches/run/performances that HBK has in the last 10 years or so.With that said, I'll always respect what they did in that first Ironman match

d
shawn was not as versatile.
nor was he as believeable as bret when it came to being a heel or tag guy.
bret before macho was the number one actual heel as a tag guy.
hbk, was never a tag great on bret's level.
on top of being a wack rock n roll express ripoff.
when, he was not able to ever trump ricky Morton, inring.
when, hbk had a higher potential workrate, than morton
to this day,..i still don't rate any hbk anything up there with old bulldogs/hart foundation.
or old rnr express vs midnights of any incarnation.
if hbk, was so good..
tag matches would exist and an actual long term inring rivalry would exist that rivals bulldogs/hart foundation, or rnr express/me.
hbk, has no tag matches or fueds on that level.
on top of never really being a worker in bret's circumference.
to the point,..
hbk's original claim to fame, the ladder match.
was from bret introducing the match to the wwf.
hbk really did not elevate it anywhere near the stampede workers.
that bret was damn near better than all them of excluding bullington.
hbk was never a heel on bret's level.
to the point, by the time bret was a singles guy.
bret had scared all the kids half shytless.
as real talk...bret was the only real villain in wwf before savage came.
on top of being the first small guy that was so damn viscious.
you feared him getting inring after neidhart.
when neidhart had the look of an enforcer.
yet, bret was the scariest motherfukker on the team, and the whole roster....
the entire roster of wwf heels were not believeable in any capacity outside of bret, till savage debuted.
on top of hbk not being anywhere near a storyteller inring.
or having any other psychology other than west texas redneck.
bret was also,..
way more believeable on the mic.
to the point,..i vividly remember bret's threat verbatim.
I don't have any hbk moments promo wise..where I remember them verbatim.
hbk is for guys who never saw the nwa.
as real talk,..if you watched nwa..
you would have never been enamored with hbk.
as you saw hordes of workers better than him in every facet.
people talk about hbk,...
just for starters, could have never seen:
liger/pillman
eddie gilbert
art barr
rnr/me : any incarnation of the teams and feuds. hbk had to be opposite Austin a tag guy to draw, for real in the me. when, real talk.....
every week nwa went off, with rnr versus midnights, as the main event, with no question.
before bret was a singles champion he conquered.
hbk, had to wait till there was no real significant talent.
plus, after years of awful convincability quality wise.
he was able to step in when wwf was a non-draw.
when wwe, had a boom and had to put on comparable talent.
hbk, was nowhere near a draw, or talent on the likes of bret.
hbk was given the ability to draw.
bret smashed the territory system, as the next top draw after hogun with bulldogs/harts feud.
hbk, was never that level of talent, like bret.
he never was on bret's level like that...

BRET : last week,...
I beat chu within an INCH of your life.
this week,..
I take it a INCH further.
still the coldest threat I ever fukk'n heard in my life.
hbk,..does not have that moment....

nikka,..it is just a savant kick.
you act like it was this great finisher when the lack of convincability of the move.
was exposed years before and another reason why hbk was never a draw consistently in different eras like bret.
you gush'n over a savant kick, breh...
get real...........

to this day,...hbk does not have a classic in his resume.
that matches up to just benoit/bret tribute to owen.
which was built off of workrate.
the same workrate, not texas redneck style....
that scsa amalgamated into the attitude era mainevent style from working with bret.
into the brawling/workrate style that was morphed by cripple ache into the smashmouth wwe maineventstyle.
the same smashmouth wwe mainevent style, that hbk has used to generate classics, since his return.
also,...hbk, showing off his technical side, in the iron man match.
was to play up the technical mastery of bret as a work.
so, even hbk using his technical prowess consistently.
in the one mat based workrate classic he is credited for.
was from the resulting cause of just being inring with bret.

Why mark for words when we can SEE the greatnessI like how all the HitGOAT fans are laying down facts and adding to the discussion while the Hickenbottom fans are just posting GIFs.
That should pretty much sum this thread up![]()

Come on breh.
HBGoat vs Jeff fukking Jarrett >>>>>>> that match.
You just hurting yourself with this troll comment.
As, the only way for you to prove this bullshyt, Chu posted.
is to write two rants on both matches.
Since, you think jj/hbk is seeing benoit/bret.
Especially since jj only uses his supposed higher quality workrate on ppv.
Whereas Bret, and Benoit always could and did put on high quality regardless of the venue.
You not on putting up or shutting up.
So, don't troll me.
Unless you really bout that smart life.
You not gon rant shyt,...
Chu, not bout that life!!

The answer is HBK.....
Shawn was a more versatile performer in every sense and frankly has a better catalog of matches.
With that said people kind of underrate Bret as an all around performer. He was a better talker than anyone ever gave him credit for and he had a real connection with fans.
Implying that Bret vs Benoit is better than any HBK match is arguably trolling, breh. Either that or you're just hating.
And I don't think Jeff Jarrett is particularly good. That only emphasizes the greatness of HBGOAT
