#4 Bret Hart
Bret Hart was one of those traditional wrestlers who took the business way too seriously. He prided himself on being one of the greatest technical wrestlers in WWE history.
In Bret's autobiography, "My real life in the cartoon world of wrestling", he explains in detail how he always went to Vince to talk about main event opportunities and his future. There were several instances where Bret politely obliged to Vince's orders, but his real-life rivalry with Shawn Michaels forced him to look out for himself as he moved forward.
Bret used to have long debates with Vince over his main event push. It all came to an end at Survivor Series 1997, when Bret Hart flat out refused to lose to Shawn in Bret's home town. Vince did the unthinkable and the hullaballoo resulted in the Montreal Screwjob, still widely considered as one of the darkest moments in the history of pro-wrestling.
