Former WWE star comments on Bret Hart's classic WrestleMania match with Stone Cold Steve Austin

EC3 recently discussed the iconic match between Bret Hart and Stone Cold at WrestleMania 13.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws Show, EC3 stated that the classic match was one that wrestlers should watch and learn from. The match was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year as an "Immortal Moment."

"That match is so freaking good. Watching it back now, with what wrestling has become as what it is, you see the backstage footage in the documentaries, or even the stories, they talk about it, it's like Steve and Bret stand in the ring for like 20 minutes, talked about what they're gonna do, 'Alright, see ya out there.' They didn't even have an angle going. It was kind of thrown together, if I remember. But, dude, if you want to be a wrestler, watch that, not for the moves or the spots, but for the physicality and the intensity and the believability." [From 2:57 onwards]
