WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show to discuss several topics, including the WWE Hall of Fame immortal moment induction for his WrestleMania 13 match against fellow Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Hart said, “It’s a big honor. I’m really quite proud of that, especially that match and the work that I had with Steve Austin. If you asked me in truth if I thought there was a better match somewhere, I mean, I don’t think there’s been a better match. It was just magic what we did that night.”
On if the match is at the top of the list of his career favorites:
“It’s been at the top probably since I had it. I have my all-time favorites. I think the match I had with the Bulldog at Wembley was probably my first greatest match, in the sense that it was the first one that I wasn’t in a team, it was just me by myself going out there and putting that match together. And that was a beautiful match. And the Ironman match with Shawn Michaels—I mean, you could say what you want about our relationship—the truth is that it’s hard to top that match. It was, to me, the highest level of professionalism that you can get in a professional wrestling match. We both really worked really hard, took a lot of hard falls, large hits with the chair and stuff like that. But we also really protected each other and looked out for each other. And when they told me they were going to induct that match, it was like, well, they should, it was maybe the best match ever.”
