I give Bret the nod for overall combination of Mic skills and in-ring presence. . Seriously? |

"Thank you for still letting me be your hero." "Have you ever noticed that the United States of America looks like one big, giant toilet bowl?" "If I were to give the United States an enema, I'd put the hose right here in Pittsburgh!" ...great stuff! |

Bret was awesome on the mic in 1997, no one is going to argue against that. Problem is, he was excellent on the mic for 1 year of his career out of 20. The rest, giving him the benefit of the doubt cause he is in my top 5, was average at best. I think Angle is one of the top men on the stick of all time, and he was saddled with an awesome gimmick to boot.

Kurt Angle is involved in two-thirds of my three favorite matches of all-time. Two-thirds of the matches I've seen with Bret Hart are really overrated.

While it's extremely close, I prefer Angle.

I can easily say Angle. While they were both pretty even in terms of actual in ring ability I think Angle wrestled a faster, more smash-mouth style while still exhibiting his technical abilities. And in terms of charisma and mic-skills and general entertainment outside of the ring I think Angle is head and shoulder's above Hart. Bret is a very boring personality.

IMO, Angle was able to excel because there were no real other contenders for such a great technical wrestler during the time he was there. Bret had so many to compete with; Curt Hennig, Owen Hart, Pillman, Sting, Randy Savage, Dynamite Kid, Rick Rude etc etc (I could go on).

Kurt was much better I think. I never liked Bret and still don't to this day.

I agree that there were less "technical" guys during Angle's run, but he did have Benoit to compete w/, who is also considered a top 5 technical wrestler of all time. |
