At number one, to no one’s surprise, is Bret Hart. Bret looked up to Vince McMahon as a father figure, and Vince saw Bret as his own son.
Bret Hart dedicated his life and career to the business, and embodied and epitomized everything good about professional wrestling.
He broke the shackles and became the face of the company at a time when the company was in crisis, and he was Vince McMahon’s “go to guy” whenever there was a problem.
All of that crumbled down during the now infamous Survivor Series match in ’97, when Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels double crossed Bret Hart in Montreal.
Although Bret has since forgiven Vince and Shawn and even made a comeback to the WWE, the incident and the aftermath truly changed professional wrestling forever.
