There are no shortage of current professional wrestlers who espouse the belief that Bret Hart is one of, if not the greatest professional wrestler of all-time.
The Hitman himself would not argue with that assessment and, in a recent interview, flat-out said that wrestling would be better if more of today's talent set out to emulate him.
During an appearance on The Masked Man Wrestling Show, Bret said:
"A lot of guys give me the courtesy of calling me and asking me, saying, 'Would it be okay if we do this on TV. We want to do this as a sign of respect, but I wanted to ask you first. I don't want to steal your moves without asking.' After you retire, it's fair game, they can help themselves to all my moves. I don't need them anymore. I take it as a compliment and whenever I watch wrestling and I see something that is obviously a salute, I take it as a huge compliment, especially from the wrestlers today. They'd all be a lot better off if they copied me more."
Earlier this year, the three-time WWE Hall of Famer criticised AEW's roster as "mostly actors trying to pretend to be wrestlers".
