Finishing Maneuver(s): Sharpshooter

Bret Hart started out wrestling in his father's Stampede promotion. Bret, who never pictured himself as a wrestler, went through film school, but ended up in the family business anyway. Bret was with Stampede when Stu Hart sold it to Vince McMahon in the early 80s, and went on to form the Hart Foundation tag team with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and Jimmy Hart in the WWF. The duo was a heel team for years, and got good heat. They had one of the most devastating tag finishers of all time, called the "Hart Attack" with Jim Neidhart getting an opponent in a bear hug, and Bret nailing him with a clothesline off the ropes. The team won a WWF tag title with Hart as manager, and afterwards when they turned face.

Bret started wrestling singles matches in the early 90s, and slowly began drawing a crowd following. That climaxed at Summerslam 91 when Hart beat Curt Hennig in what was considered one of the best WWF matches of the decade. Hart went on to feud with Roddy Piper, and the Mountie for the Intercontental title.

Bret began eyeing the World title after a while. After Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger failed to beat Yokozuna, Hart got the win for his first title run, and shocked the world, especially with his smaller stature.
