[1992-11-15-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Bret Hart

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Bret does a quick interview about taking on all comers, and tells Flair he has to beat The Man to be The Man again.

It's a shame they really didn't have a true vision for Hart as champ. Still Flair is # 1 on the list.

[Kevin Ridge]

It seemed like Bret was during the mid 90's was always involved in multiple feuds at the same time. There was Michaels/Flair, Flair/Ramon, Owen/Diesel, Backlund/Diesel with Lawler on the side 93-95.

The "fighting champion" gimmick was a unique way to push Bret, but at the time there was certainly a perceived star power drop-off from Flair/Savage to Bret/Shawn.

Hart interview with matches coming up against Papa Shango and Flair. I like the idea of him taking on all comers, but this wasn't exactly a murderer's row of challengers. Imagine if Watts had done this with Simmons facing off against Rude, Vader, Jake, Windham and others instead of the Barbarian.

[garretta]

Bret was very good here. He's not an elite talker like Flair is, but he's no slouch either. He's just different.

 

I like the multiple feuds at once idea, which is a stark departure from the days of Hogan only feuding with one guy at a time so as not to confuse the poor little Hulksters. Maybe we're in for a slightly more mature WWF, though I'm not exactly holding my breath.

 

I loved Bret using Flair's signature line back on him. Who else thinks that Flair didn't exactly care for that?

 

I only had time for a quick look at Graham's site and couldn't find out, so maybe one of you will know: What's Joe the Interviewer's last name?

[Beast]

Joe Aiello, known as Joe Bevens in WWF.

Flair used it back on Hart in promos around this time.

One event center I just saw has Flair saying he always says "To be the man, you've got to beat the man and Bret beat me so I guess he's the man now. But can you beat me again!"
