After signing out of my email, I noticed a news story about Bret so I checked it out and it turns out he added to the Canadian Walk of Fame last month. I thought that was really neat and honestly fitting that he would be the first wrestler to do so. The article gives a short summary of his accolades in and out of wrestling.
I was led there by this Sportsnet article : Oral History: How Bret became the Excellence of Execution
It's largely people saying awesome things about Bret but there were some interesting insights. They have quotes from the usual suspects (Natalya, Bret, TJ Wilson) and from other Canadians like Eric Young, Sami Zayn and referee Jimmy Korderas. Trigger warning for some of you, they also quote Meltzer in there. The Richochet quote is interesting as I haven't seen him in matches lately to see if he's changed things up.
Often in conversations about who is the best the idea of who had the biggest impact outside of wrestling comes up. Bret was a huge phenomenon outside wrestling at least here in Canada. A large number of my family members including those who have know interest in wrestling know who he is. Hell, he was in the Simpsons when that was a big deal. Anyways, I thought this was interesting. The Sportsnet article mentions his crispness and believably as well which for many is part of what makes him so great. So what do folks think? Is this long overdue? Is he overrated? Does this remind you of when he was on top of the world and not the guy they go to for a grumpy old man quote?
