Customer Reviews

brilliant and heartfelt - a true star until the end
i was a huge WWF fan in the late eighties and early ninties and bret hart was my favourite from the beginning. i stopped watching wrestling in 1995 as i grew out of it and recently decided to re-kindle my youth and firstly needed to find out what happended to my favourite. i'd heard rumours that bret was double-crossed but when i watched this i was left furious that he could be treated like that by Vince who had basically hung him out to dry and destroyed his reputation in the process. the dvd is very heartfelt and gives you a brilliant insight into brets life, growing up with a legend of a father and growing in the WWF. it also shows his home life and that he appears to have a supportive wife who later divorced him after the survivor series incident, but does show what a great dad he is and how his family mean a lot. the dvd covers the tension leading up to that fateful servivor series and how bret was not feeling happy, you can feel his emotion, and then feel his anger once the double cross has happened and i'm so pleased he punched vince, which was the least he deserved. all in all a great dvd, its just a shame it had to end on such a bitter note.

QUALITY DOCUMENTARY
This is a very insightful and interesting look into the truth behind professional wrestling. Taking a look at one of the best wrestlers in history, the documentary follows Bret Hart through the last year of his WWE contract, showing how the hitman character changed from the number 1 babyface (good guy) to number 1 heel (bad guy), only to be left in limbo by Vince McMahon, resulting in the parting of ways. However, as you will discover, this parting did not go through without the most controversial action ever seen in professional wrestling. This is a must buy for anyone who has always wanted to know what really happened that night in at Survivor series '97.

the biggest screwjob of wrestling history
After watching survivor series 97 and the screwjob by vince mcmahon on bret hart i knew wrestling will never be the same again. the documentary follows brets life growing up in a wrestling family, and ends with Harts disputed last match with the WWF. I cannot say much in this review because there is so much controversy surrounding the situation between bret and vince. So many people have so many opinions towards who was right and who was wrong (bret or vince?). But as a true bret hart fan, i belive that vince was an idiot and he still is. Ever since brets departure vince has turned wrestling in to a soap opera scene and that made me sick! To me bret is the best "WRESTLER" the wwf/wwe have ever had. Hogan, Austin and the Rock may have more popularity than bret, but they are more of an "entertainer" than a wrestler. To me bret is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!! Please buy this DVD to find out what that fool vince did to the best "WRESTLER" they ever had!
