  • IMDB: link

Bret "Hitman" Hart: The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will BeBret Hart wasn’t as strong as Hulk Hogan, as quick as the “Macho Man” Randy Savage, as titillating as Shawn Michaels or as controversial as Steve Austin.  What Bret Hart brought to the ring was a professionalism and a strong work ethic to always put on the best show for the fans.  Beloved all over the world Bret was able to make every opponent raise the bar and put on the best matches of their career.  This collection is a wonderful reminder of the Hitman’s career.

The documentary begins by chronicling the life of Bret Hart growing up in Calgary with his large family.  All of Bret’s older brothers were involved in the wrestling business run by Bret’s father Stu Hart.  From the age of four Bret would sit and watch matches and learn about the sport that would later make him a star.  His early amateur background is chronicled as well as his work in Stampede Wrestling for his father.
