Bret "The Hitman" Had His Hart Ripped Out

Bret "The Hitman" Hart used to say he was "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be" -- but yesterday in DC, it was clear someone's come to a sad realization since his days in the WWF.

61. This video makes the reporter look like an idiot more than anything else. Like most the videos on here. It's really odd that the people on TMZ will act like a celeb is in the wrong for not responding to their dumb questions. I think the celebs are like most people, they are annoyed by stupid people. I don't acknowledge people that are stupid and annoying, why would a celeb? Because answering the stupidest questions asked by the stupidest people is going to help their career somehow?

I guess these TMZ photogs are just told to go out and get footage of celebs and ask the first thing that comes to mind. Maybe they should have someone write some questions for them, because it's obvious they can't come up with anything intelligent or halfway interesting on their own.

62. TMZ SUCKS

you know how much crap this CANADIAN ICON has been through in his life???? stroke, being screwed LIVE on air at a Pay-per-view in his home country, the tragic fatal death of his brother Owen, divorce, the death of his brother-in-law Davey Boy Smith, his father's death.... yeah, didn't think so.

is he supposed to act like that idiot 'the Sheik"??? obviously you've never seen or heard the Hitman talk at all. he's a very soft-spoken well-mannered honest individual.

the same can't be said for TMZ though.

i'm hoping you tools @ TMZ make an apology ON AIR about this ASAP. that was one of the most disgusting videos i've EVER seen on here. judging by some of the other posts i've read, i'm not the only one who feels this way.

this Man is a TRUE HERO and the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. PERIOD.

i'm waiting for that apology. don't worry though, i won't hold my breath.

65. Is the first lesson learned in paparazzi school "Bait the celeb"? Because that's seems like all paparazzo's do. Is make personal, asinine comments to get a reaction. Like some others have said, I will no longer be coming to TMZ's website or watching the show. Over and over, you've displayed just how low you are. From mocking the dead with your dumbass headlines, mocking the dead's families, now picking on someone who has some pretty serious heath issues. You could learn some respect. You're going too far. It's not funny. You've lost yet another visitor.

68. Wow, I can only assume than any garbage will be put on TMZ, was that idiot actually paid for that piece?
Never mind the fact that Bret had a stroke, but why is it sad that he left the wrestling business when he was on top and has not found it necessary to try to stay in the lime light and would rather just live his life??, thats sad?? whats wrong with you imbeciles??

70. That wasn't depressing. He was a classy and humble man who seemed put off that you people were interfering with his time with his fans. He had a wonderful career and his comment about being the "best there was" rather than his old tag line showed props for the wrestlers of today and tomorrow.

71. Dear Tmz,

How dare you do this to a great man who has suffered and endured so much in life? I am personally boycotting this piec e of sh*t show known as Tmz. I hope That the reporter as well as everyone that works with and has assocaition with TMZ will die and burn in hell.

72. Im a big fan of Bret "The Hitman" Hart from the Philippines since i was a kid. It breaks my heart that your tmz people mocks a respectable and great man. My goodness, he's a legend! And a lot of people look up to him. For all the things he went through, it's really tough. Just please respect the guy. This is bad but how i wish all the bad things that happened to him will happen you all of you tmz people so you will know how it feels like.

73. First off to Yippee-you need to get updated, Bret was in the HOF!! Next, I am sure that Bret is man enough to handle this TMZ guy. As for Bret being questioned about Hogan, Bret will always come out on top! As Kurt Angle said in a recent interview, he's never seen anyone have a better fan following than Bret does & he doesn't even wrestle anymore. My opinion, if Bret's name is on an event, it's a gurantee that people will show up!! BTW, I didn't really find the questions all that offensive.

74. WOW. How effing dare you guy patronize this man, when knowing he has been thru a lot in his life. Does he look like he wants to talk to TMZ of all ppl??? Your cameraman should have just left him alone, instead of trying to get a rise outta him, and being the man that he is, Bret was cool and your dumbass camera man felt really stupid.

*Bret, keep your head up, we love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s.- still fine as hell i may add, i would tap it too..........

75. In today's world, we have very few people who are like Bret Hart. I've met the man, and he is a decent, caring human being, who has endured horrible tradegy, and has givien up so much of himself for his career, and for his fans. If any of the TMZ staff had an ounce of the dignity and class that he has, the world would be a better place. But, you know what? You don't, and it shows.
