Former WWE Champion Bret Hart is still considered to be one of the best wrestlers in the world more than two decades after his retirement.
The Hitman made quite the mark in the company throughout his time before he was forced to hang up his boots following an injury in 2000.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Hart left WWE following the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series in 1997 before joining WCW, and it was here that he took on Goldberg at Starrcade in 1999.

As part of the match, Hart received a kick to the head which resulted in a severe concussion that later marked the end of his career.
Whilst Hart has returned several times and has even been able to end his issues with Vince McMahon and WWE over the past two decades, this was when he officially hung up his boots.
The former World Champion took his place amongst the elite of the Wrestling business in April 2006 when he was finally inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
