WWE Legend Bret Hart Names Stone Cold Steve Austin as His Favorite Opponent

Bret “The Hitman” Hart, a WWE Hall of Famer, recently discussed his favorite wrestling opponent on the “Attitude Era” podcast. Despite his many famous rivalries, including those with Shawn Michaels and his brother Owen, Hart singled out “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as his top choice.

Hart praised Austin’s wrestling abilities, stating that he would have been great even without their matches together. However, he believes their Submission Match at WrestleMania 13 was the best match of both their careers.

This legendary bout saw Hart win, but it also established Austin as WWE’s next big star. The match featured a memorable moment where Austin passed out in his own blood, resulting in one of wrestling’s most famous double-turns.

Hart explained that the match’s excellence came from its unpredictability and the many layers of storytelling involved. He considers this unpredictability to be a hallmark of great wrestling matches.

The WrestleMania 13 clash between Hart and Austin remains a defining moment in wrestling history, showcasing both performers at the peak of their abilities and setting the stage for future storylines.
