#1 Bret Hart

Of course, it had to be him. If there’s anything about the WWF in the early 90’s you can cling to, it’s the Hitman Bret Hart. He has spoken himself about the change in the company during this time.
Gone were the muscle-bound dinosaurs who didn’t really do anything in the ring, and in came the smaller, athletic performer who left it all between the ropes to the sheer delight of the fans.

For all the deserved credit we give to guys like Hogan, the Rock and Austin, you can’t ignore the fact that they all had the luxury of a rich, talented roster to work with. Bret Hart was ‘the guy’ in a time when the rest of the talent had to be virtually carried to passable matches.
The fact that we still talk about Hart as the talent he was is incredible, when you consider his fellow main eventers at the time were guys like Crush, Luger, and Diesel. 1993 was a terrible year, and with the main draws all leaving, it was not inconceivable that the company could have folded back then.
The fact that we still love the WWE today is a direct result of the brilliance of Bret Hart. The man was the new generation’s poster boy and will forever remain in our own hearts as one of the greatest individuals to lace up a pair of wrestling boots.
