'The Best There is, Best There Was, and Best There Ever Will Be', he just might be. Bret Hart is the only ever two-time WWE King of The Ring winner.

The Hitman first won the crown in 1991, just a few months after the Hart Foundation came to an end. The reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion at the time, Hart would go onto hold the IC title on another occasion, before defeating Ric Flair for his first WWE Heavyweight Championship in October 1992.

Over the course of the next 5 years, Bret Hart would be a 5 time WWE Champion, the co-winner of the 1994 Royal Rumble, and would main event two WrestleMania's. Hart also had some of the best ever matches and feuds with Shawn Michaels, brother Owen Hart, Jerry Lawler, The Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin, among more. Following the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series 1997, Bret Hart debuted for WCW at the end of the year.

Bret Hart's run with WCW was very creatively mishandled and a very much wasted opportunity. However, he did still manage to become a two-time WCW Champion, four time United States Champion and a Tag Team Champion by the time of his forced retirement in 2000.

Bret Hart was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2006 and as apart of the Hart Foundation in 2019.
