Known as the "Excellence of Execution," Bret Hart was one of the finest technical wrestlers ever. This submission specialist was known for systematically breaking down his opponents until he was ready to lock in the Sharpshooter, from which few escaped. Hart was also an innovator in the ring, executing strategies and applying holds (such as the ring-post figure-four leglock) that defied the expectations of opponents and fans alike. Hart also had an uncanny instinct for creating pinning predicaments out of opponents' holds when things looked their most bleak.
The "Hit Man" was trained with his brothers and other Calgary hopefuls in the infamous Stu Hart Dungeon. It was there that his father stressed technique over flair, and it was there that Bret mastered an arsenal of submission maneuvers the hardest way possible — by having them applied to him.
Hart achieved arguably his greatest WWE milestone in relative obscurity in October 1992. In an non-televised live event in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Hart forced the legendary world champion Ric Flair to submit to the Sharpshooter. It began the first of five WWE Championship reigns for the man who boldly and frequently declared, "I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be."
After turning back such foes as former champion Flair, Razor Ramon, and Shawn Michaels, Hart faced his biggest challenge at WrestleMania IX in the 500-pound plus Yokozuna. While Hart had Yokozuna trapped in the Sharpshooter, Mr. Fuji tossed salt in Hart's eyes, allowing Yokozuna to finish Bret and take the WWE Championship. Bret would rebound however, winning a one-night tournament to become the first WWE King of the Ring in June 1993, beginning a rivalry with Jerry Lawler over who was the true king of wrestling.
Despite the premature end of his wrestling career, Hart remains one of the biggest names in the world of sports-entertainment. A mere sighting of Hart at WWE Headquarters in August 2005, (regarding the production of an upcoming DVD), sent WWE fans across the Internet into a frenzy.
