Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! The WWE Hall of Famer has been criticized over the years for his complaining, so we ask you this, Is Bret Hart bitter or is Bret Hart right? In this episode we dive deep starting from July 2nd, 1957 when Bret Sergeant Hart was born and talk his early career, things seem great in the beginning, but as Bret Hart rose to the top of the WWF, someone else had there eyes on his prize and we see the end of a friendship with the biggest star of them all, Hulk Hogan. Listen and here what caused the end of this friendship. As his career in the WWF skyrocketed, so didn't Hart's pay... signed to an unusual deal... Vince McMahon, owner of the WWF suggests Bret looks at WCW. Hart still the WWF Champion, gets a royal screw job in Montreal as we know as The Montreal Screw Job! While signed to WCW, Owen Hart, Bret's brother would pass on May 23rd, 1999. In that same year in December, Goldberg would deliver the, "kick heard around the world." By January 2000, Bret Hart wrestles his last match against Kevin Nash after learning about Post Concussion Syndrome. Towards the end of his career, Bret Hart was dealt some crummy blows that weren't fair to him and a lot he missed out on in his career. Twenty-six years later, Bret Hart still takes shots at Goldberg for ending his career, Eric Bischoff for not using him right in WCW, Hulk Hogan for never putting him over and holding him back in WCW, The Kliq and many others.

On Wednesday, WWE announced that their PLE's will stream exclusivly on ESPN in 2026 in The United States. On August 21st, ESPN is launching a new app called ESPN Direct- To-Consumer. It will feature everything ESPN has to offer from channels and services and WWE PLE's will be streaming on this app. There became a lot of confusion quickly, esp. as it was announced that this new app will cost $29.99 a month. Currently, WWE PLE's are on Peacock app until the end of 2025. Peacock's cheapest version of the app is $7.99. ESPN DTC is three times more then Peacock and fans got upset that they will have to pay such an increase. The $29.99 will only be for NEW ESPN users. We broke down how much a year new users to ESPN will have to pay to watch WWE Raw and PLE's through Netflix and ESPN DTC. We have comments from TKO COO Mark Shapiro, WWE COO Triple H and more. Less than 24 hours after the WWE-ESPN announcement, Peacock announced that it is increases their prices for their app. TKO Owns UFC and WWE. UFC is on ESPN+ for PPV's. With UFC you have to pay for the app and pay an additional $70 to watch the UFC PPV, so our question to you the fans, how long do you think until WWE starts doing the same thing? #WWE #TKO #UFC #UFCNews #WWENews #WrestlingCommunity #ESPN #WrestlingPodcast Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/perchedonthetoprope/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Is Fanatics Fan Fest Refund Policy Fair? Well, to be fair, this is about the company they partner with for the event called Leap. Leap does a lot of various Comic-Con and pop culture events such as New York City Comic-Con. In E280, I share my personal story of going to Fanatics Fan Fest NYC, and NOT getting to get my CM Punk autograph I had purchased. I discuss the refund policy and ask, is it fair?
