[1992-11-07-WWF-Superstars] Music Video: Bret Hart

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Really good video to some Tom Petty song I don't recognize. Now that Bret's the champ, I suppose it's time to start presenting him like one.

[Strummer]

the song is "Makin' Some Noise" by Tom Petty. Pretty obvious they were trying to put Bret over as an old school serious champion as opposed to the last 8 years in the WWF

[Tim Evans]

I remember seeing this in 95/96. Good stuff.

[Bix]

Unless it was added it to one of the later versions of the video, I'm sad that Loss didn't point out the black & white "home movie" of 77 year-old Stu separating "little Bret & Owen" in the Dungeon.

[Loss]

That was later. So cheer up.

Wasn't this added to the WrestleMania X video that was played before the Bret Hart vs Yokozuna bout?

Nope. That was the Aretha Franklin "Respect" video.

[Eduardo]

Ah ok, thanks, my mistake.

[shoe]

The black and white Bret,Owen, and Stu reenactment was great.

The WrestleMania X video used the Petty song.

[Kevin Ridge]

Am fond of this music video. Stu's involvement is always a plus.

[PeteF3]

I definitely associate this with WM10, including Stu's involvement. But this is clearly from '92, going by the clips used. Good tie-ins to the lyrics, too.

[WingedEagle]

I didn't dig the music selection here. Felt too much like WCW. Great clips of Hart walking down the aisle, in the ring, old photos and some some recreated b&w shots from Stu's basement.

[Robert S]

That was later. So cheer up.

Huh? It was definitely there in the version that is on the 92 yearbook. I would really like to know, if the kids there were TJ Wilson and Teddy Hart.

What it cost them to get the Petty song was probably the same as WCW's budget for that entire month.

[garretta]

I actually thought that those supposed shots from The Dungeon were real for a minute, and I wondered how Vince had gotten access to them.

 

I liked the collection of clips here; there's even one from the heel days of the original Hart Foundation, which I thought was supposed to be dead and buried. Also, points for using a real Tom Petty song as opposed to a Jim Johnston in-house special.

 

Now if only the matches during this reign match the quality of this video...........

[Beast]

Got me all excited for a long Bret Hart title reign....

It's impressive how well the previous 12 months had gotten Bret over to legit main event level. Clips are shown of matches against Perfect, Piper, Michaels, Bulldog and Flair which is a totally stacked lineup, especially for back then. 

Loved the dungeon footage too. It's just an all-around great music video that makes Bret look like the new sheriff in town. He kept that aura around him even through the Hakushi/Lawler/Lafitte wars of 1995. It's no wonder so many American fans sided with him during the USA/Canada deal in 1997.

[flyonthewall2983]

This is probably the first time I ever heard Petty's music. I was 9 years old and music wasn't that big a deal to me (that would come more when I was 13). In all probability I'm sure I heard stuff of his on the radio before that but I never really took notice. 

I saw him in a documentary a decade later or so and he said rock and roll was becoming like pro wrestling. He said something to the effect of "the fans know it's fake but they love it anyway". That had more wisdom about both that made me admire him all the more.
