Bret Hart’s 10 Worst Matches, According To Cagematch.net

Bret “The Hitman” Hart is one of the greatest of all time to lace up a pair of boots. The Hitman transitioned from a fine tag team competitor into a certified main eventer.

Hart has headlined countless pay-per-views, and he is a former five-time WWE Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion, two-time WWE Tag Team Champion, and a two-time WWE Hall of Famer.

Despite all of the great matches that Hart has had throughout his WWE and WCW career, he has had some absolute stinkers. Some of the wrestlers that Hart failed to have a great match with were unquestionably good workers, whereas others weren’t as good.

Bret Hart was prepared to square off with Jerry “The King” Lawler at SummerSlam 1993 but Lawler found a way to get himself out of the match. He feigned an injury and he chose Doink The Clown to replace him.

The match was extremely underwhelming but The Hitman dominated with ease. Hart was closing in on the win with his trademark Sharpshooter on Doink but Lawler intervened by nailing Hart in the back of his head with a vicious shot with his crutches in Halloween Havoc 1998, Bret Hart defended the WCW United States Championship against Sting in a dream match. Hart’s time in WCW was confusing as there were many illogical booking decisions.

Nevertheless, it was the Sharpshooter going toe-to-toe with the Scorpion Deathlock which is virtually the same submission hold. Sting represented the nWo Wolfpac but sadly this dream match was bitterly disappointing.

The Hitman hit Sting several times with the baseball bat when the referee was down but he retained his title with his patented Sharpshooter.

Bret Hart teamed up with his brothers Owen, Keith, and Bruce in a traditional four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match at the 1993 Survivor Series. They faced off with Shawn Michaels and his team of knights which were Greg Valentine, Barry Horrowitz, and Jeff Gaylord in disguise.

This was the longest match on the card clocking in at three seconds shy of 31 minutes. The Hart Family were extremely dominant, and Bret registered one elimination by removing The Red Knight from the equation with the Sharpshooter. It was almost a clean sweep but Owen was eliminated by Shawn Michaels.

WrestleMania IX was a huge moment in Bret Hart’s career as he main evented WrestleMania for the first time as the reigning WWE Champion. However, he had a gargantuan task in front of him as he defended his prestigious championship against Yokozuna.
