Bret Hart

Bret Hart belongs to the old school generation of wrestlers, even though he found himself in the wrong era. Bret, being the son of legendary promoter Stu Hart, lived true to his character, and often would stay in character even in his personal life. Bret Hart respected and loved the business, and was of the old school idea that no matter what happened, the show must go on.

During his match with Dino, Bret landed hard on the guard rail, breaking his sternum and ribs in the process. While Bret was gasping for air, Dino didn’t realize the gravity of the situation and landed some stiff kicks on Bret. Bret, being true to his character, never gave up, nor could he call an audible (Tell the referee he was legitimately hurt). After minutes of landing some kicks, Dino and the referee realized something was wrong, and the match was changed on – the – fly. And we wonder how the wrestlers used to die in the ring!
