The best there was... the best there is... the best there ever will be.

A while back Bret Hart and Vincent K MacMahon set aside their differences long enough to put together a dvd retrospective of his career. I have been working my way through this, so far I have seen the documentary and four to five of his matches.

Two things in particular struck me. The first thing was that, at least for the purposes of the dvd, time seems to have mellowed Bret Hart with regard to Montreal. That is positive. That much bitterness can't be good for your health. The second thing was how sweet tag-team wrestling was in the 80s with the Rockers, the Bulldogs, the Road Warriors, and Demolition wandering through the squared circle. Great times and I think wrestling is the poorer for the lack of really good tag-teams. I lied, there's a third thing, it's a crime that so many of those who wrestled then and were comparatively young men have passed away. Sad.

Thumbs-up.

Why do you consistently forget to mention the Fabulous Rougeau brothers?
Blair wouldn't, although he won't know cos he won't read this.
