Classics: Hitman Hart Wrestling With Shadows

This is your free preview of the latest edition of 'Top Rope Nation Classics,' our monthly deep-dive retro show for our supporters on Patreon. A bit different flavor on Classics this month. We're not reviewing an event, instead we look at one of the most influential wrestling documentaries of all time! A great discussion on Hitman Hart Wrestling With Shadows, as well as a bigger discussion on Bret, Shawn, Vince, and Montreal. This includes many of the different scenarios that were pitched to (and by) Bret Hart as he prepared to exit the WWF, many of which are not discussed in the film. We also include the complete locker room transcript of the discussion between Vince and Bret in Montreal the day of Survivor Series.Head to ⁠https://www.patreon.com/topropenation⁠ to hear the entire podcast.
