WWE Mount Rushmore of the 1990s

#4 Bret Hart

Hart carried the WWE post-Hogan.

For those who watched wrestling in the 1980s, you know that Hart started out primarily as a tag team specialist alongside Jim Neidhart.

But it became apparent that Bret Hart was a star waiting to happen, so he was soon given a singles push that resulted in an Intercontinental Championship reign.

Another factor that helped push Hart further up the card was WWF's then stance of trying to feature superstars who appeared less muscle-bound due to the steroids' trial of the early '90s.

Hart was the perfect antithesis to Superstars like to Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior, so pushing him to the main event was a no-brainer.

Throughout his time in the WWF, Hart won the the WWF World Heavyweight Championship five times and had great feuds with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin and the Undertaker.

His match and storyline with his brother Owen was also one of the most memorable of all time, especially since Owen ended up winning the match at WrestleMania X.

Without Hart, the WWF would have had trouble transitioning from the early part of the decade to the middle and second half of the 1990s.

He was one of the best technical wrestlers of all time and had he not had a falling out with Vince McMahon, he might have continued to dominate the WWF during the advent of the Attitude Era.
