And I didn't think Bret looked too bad for a 52 year-old who's had the injuries and stroke etc. that he's had.
Yeah he has been through alot.
but it just didn't feel like Bret Hart. he just looked like a caricature of himself
U turn it to TNA however, and Hulk Hogan looked just like he did when he debuted on Nitro.. lean,cut, fit and just amazing on the mic. He had nowhere as bad as a stroke, but a few spinal/back surgeries is nothing to take lightly either.
Also you have to remember that Hogan has not had a stroke and Hogan can still work out to his liking. Bret can't due to his back back that he has had for close to 6 years. So when you consider he has had a stroke, not needed to step into a ring for 8 or 9 years, and hasn't worked out for 6 years he aint looking too bad. Anyone would have a gut after that.
Obviously he didn't look like he did 12 years ago and of course Hogan is in shape coz he still is around wrestling.
As far as the make-up between HBK & Bret i guess its all a matter of opinion it all looked really authentic to me up until the hug.... but who knows. All i know is having watched the Bret segments again since i think they just get better. Hogan was also brilliant but if i compared Bret's segments with HBK & Vince opposed to Hogans with Hall-Nash-Waltman i'd watch Bret's again anyday.
I'm just really excited that TNA have arrived. I hope it stays this way and TNA force WWE to up their game in the ring.
