Bret Hart : Part 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Bret Hart

Bret is one of several professional wrestlers that fought under his real name. Others that have fought under their real names include: Jim Neidhart, the late Owen Hart, Brian Pillman, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guererro, Chavo Guererro, and Jerry Lawler, just to name a few.

Answer: Mr. Perfect

Bret defeated Mr. Perfect with the Sharpshooter to win his first WWE Intercontinental Title at "Summerslam 1991" on August 26, 1991 at Madison Square Garden.

Answer: True

Bret was considered a babayface, or good guy in his early years when he was a jobber to most of the other high talent stars. Later on he joined Jim Neidhart to form the Hart Foundation. The Hart Foundation was a very successful tag team consisting of Bret and his brother in law, Jim Neidhart.

They first began their careers as bad guys, but later on both turned into good guys. Jim turned good guy in order to compete with fellow New Foundation member The Rocket, Owen Hart.

Answer: Saskatoon, Canada

Bret won the WWE Heavyweight Championship Belt in Saskatoon, Canada on October 12, 1992. He became a Triple Crown winner, capturing the WWE Tag Team Championship Title, WWE Intercontinental Championship Title, and the WWE Heavyweight Championship Title. He is the only Hart family member to do so.

Answer: Ric Flair

Bret defeated Ric Flair with the Sharpshooter to win his first WWE Heavyweight Championship Title in his homeland of Canada.

Answer: Tatanka

Tatanka never fought Bret during his WWE career. In fact, Tatanka left the WWE about a year before Bret did. Funny enough, both men finished their careers as heels, after gaining so much popularity with the fans in their years portraying babyfaces. Bret fought IRS at several house shows in the early and mid 1990s.

He fought Lex when he was known as The Narcissist, and faced the 1-2-3 Kid in a WWE Heavyweight Championship Title match on a "RAW" taping in 1994.

Answer: Rowdy Roddy Piper

Bret defeated Piper via pinfall at "Wrestlemania VIII". It would be the Hitman's second WWE Intercontinental Championship Title. Bret later lost it to his brother-in-law, the British Bulldog, at "Summerslam 1992".

Answer: Jerry Lawler

Bret dedicated his match against Lawler to his mother, but lost because of interference from Hakushi, whom he defeated in the first match of the night, and Hakushi's manager, Shinga.

Answer: False

The Montreal Screwjob does not count as a submission loss because it was not planned in the plotline. Therefore, Bret has never lost a match due to submission. He neither gave up against Bob Backlund in the Towel Match because Owen tricked Helen Hart into throwing in the towel for Bret, costing him the WWE Heavyweight Championship Title.

Answer: False

Bret fought in a trial Ladder Match against Shawn Michaels when he was known as the Boy Toy, not Heartbreak Kid, for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Title. Bret won the match. Ironically, Shawn would lose another similar match for the same title at "Wrestlemania X" against Razor Ramon, making the match one of the greatest leaps forward taken by the WWE.

But at "Summerslam 1995" Michaels retained the Intercontinental Championshipo Belt in another ladder match against Razor, but this one I think was less exciting.

Answer: True

Bret's original WWE singles competition theme song was used by the Hart Foundation for their entrance too. Bret's theme song was later revamped in 1994.

Answer: "Vienna Boys' Choir, here we come!"

Piper made references to the Vienna Boys' Choir because of the nasty situation Mr. Perfect had just been put in. His lower body area smashed into the turnbuckle pole after Bret threw him by the hair and he slid across the ring mat.

Answer: Bam Bam Bigelow

Bret defeated Bam Bam Bigelow via pinfall in this house show tour in Spain. Bret also defeated Bam Bam Bigelow in the final round of "King Of The Ring 1993" to be declared the WWE King.

Answer: Knee injury

Bret sold a knee injury to Yokozuna. This injury was induced by the fight with Owen Hart in the first match on the card.

Answer: False

Sadly Bret had to retire, but Jim is still wrestling in the independent circuits. Bret's other relatives, Bruce, Keith, Wayne, and Teddy still wrestle as well. As you may know, Bret's brother Owen died in 1999 at the WWE show "Over The Edge," falling out of his harness to his death, Davey Boy Smith, aka the British Bulldog, died of a heart attack at age 39, and Stu Hart, Bret's father died a few years ago.
