WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart spoke to WWE.com this week to promote the new WWE ’13 video game. Here are some highlights of what the Hit Man said about:
The Lasting Legacy Of The Attitude Era:
“Just about everybody I know talks about that being the last great era of wrestling,” Hart said. “For me as a fan, I loved all the stuff (Steve) Austin did with me and with Vince McMahon. Austin has such a great character that I really enjoyed following his career even after mine was over… Even when I was with him in 1997, I thought the stuff I did with Austin was as good as it gets – the match we had at WrestleMania 13, all the promos we did, the Street Fight Match. There was this conviction we both had to make it real, to make everyone really feel that these were real – kind of like what the UFC projects today. We were doing a better job of doing it back then.
The Attitude Era Star He Wishes He Could Have Worked With More:
“If I could go back in time, I would have loved to have done more with Triple H. He blossomed into a bigger star after I left.”
“I regret, looking back now, that we didn’t have more matches, or better matches or at least one pay-per-view match where we could have really showed our best stuff — or at least, I did. He’s a guy that he and I had some situation together, and I think it worked well on Monday Night Raw, but we never really had the chance to show what we could really do.”
The Definitive Attitude Era Superstar:
“I can’t think of anyone more fitting than Steve [Austin].”
