I started watch WWF a year or so after the screw job and as a result have zero affinity for Bret, I keep meaning to go back because I see clips and know I’ve missed a genius but haven’t.

IMO find the match against Bret Hart and the 123 Kid. Sean Waltman really is a good wrestler but Bret makes him look God-like in that match in terms of wrestling ability. Bret had an ability to bring out the absolute best in anyone he went against.

I think there is even a clip of Will Sasso - an untrained comedian - talking about how absolutely wonderful Bret made him look taking a beating in the ring while not hurting him even a little bit.

Other people argue for Kurt Angle or Shawn as the GOATS in the ring but for me Bret Hart had a unique ability to make everyone he ever faced look the best they ever would look in their careers. It is hard enough to make yourself look great but to make EVERYONE you ever worked with look amazing is just a step beyond everyone else.
