* FridgeBrilliance: On his first night as ''Raw'' GM, he offered a badly injured Wrestling/{{Batista}} another opportunity against Wrestling/JohnCena for the WWE Championship if he could beat Wrestling/RandyOrton in a qualifying match to be held immediately, only to name said opponent the winner via forfeit after Batista refused by twice pointing out that he was in ''no condition to compete'', resulting in [[VillainousBreakdown an already angry Batista going ballistic enough]] to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quit WWE]]. Harsh until you remember three months prior Batista assaulted Bret and held him for Wrestling/VinceMcMahon to [[SpitefulSpit spit in his face]]. Bret didn't forget what Batista did to him that night and was subtly getting {{revenge}} on him.

* HarsherInHindsight: Bret's Heel persona in the first half of 1997 was based on him being a crybaby who complained about every perceived injustice he had suffered. By the mid-2000s, he had become this in real life, as he continually dwelled on Montreal, his injury from Bill Goldberg, and a bevy of other real-life feuds that were years old by that point.

*** Related to this is how Bret never mentioned anything negative about Goldberg until he and Shawn reconciled about the Montreal Scewjob gave rise to the joke that Bret is only capable of one blood feud at a time.

** Backstage, Bret is generally regarded as a ConsummateProfessional always willing to what’s right for business. However, some, like Wrestling/KevinNash, have noted Bret could take his standing as the top star too seriously and devolve into ItsAllAboutMe at times. An example he cites the cage match they had where Nash as Diesel would give Bret the Jackknife and look set to win the match (and Bret’s World Title) until Wrestling/TheUndertaker interfered and cost Diesel the match to set up their feud. Bret apparently refused to take the Jackknife at first, saying he didn’t want to look weak as a champion, to the point that Taker snapped, “Motherfucker, not everything is about you, this is for me and Kev!”

** Did anyone really think that Bret Hart having a feud with Jerry Lawler's dentist was a good idea?
** His Wrestling/{{WCW}} run, which saw him as just another directionless [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder nWo B-Team]] member in 1998. He nearly gave his life to that company (almost literally with the incident with Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}), for table scraps!

* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: There was once a time when Bret Hart was really considered one of the true "good guys" in wrestling, with both casual and "smark" fans alike, being perceived as a man of integrity who was unjustly wronged by the backstage schemes of Vince [=McMahon=], Shawn Michaels, and Triple H. The death of his brother Owen and his career-ending tragedy in WCW only won him further fan sympathy. Over time, however, Bret became a major BaseBreakingCharacter, particularly since the time gone by since those past hardships are over two decades behind him. While Bret has made amends fully with Shawn Michaels and even got to have his "redemption" storyline in WWE by defeating Vince in a street fight, his seeming unwillingness to move on from ''everything else'' has made fans sour on him more and more. Despite no longer taking shots at Michaels, Bret's continued bitterness and grievances over Goldberg, Triple H, and several other topics have earned him less and less sympathy over time and even now, the fans who once supported him have reached the point where they believe Bret Hart's pro-wrestling martyrdom has reached its expiry date and that it's high time for Bret to move on.

* {{Narm}}: Bret was always at his best as a [[TheStoic stoic]] Face. When trying to cut a promo as a LargeHam Heel, the results were... not great.



* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Bret was considered a pretty innovative wrestler for his time, utilizing technical wrestling and submissions in an era where big brawlers dominated wrestling. However, for fans who didn't watch Bret Hart in their youth but instead, grew up with guys like Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, and Daniel Bryan, who were able to push the envelope even further and seamlessly combine brawling, technical/submission wrestling, and even highflying moves to an even more proficient degree, Bret's matches, in the eyes of those fans, can come off as being a bit unspectacular and "safe" by comparison.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Bret Hart has split the IWC into two camps that only agree on one thing, that Bret was a technically sound wrestler. Everything else, his charisma, mic skills, his nonstop wallowing in the past, his feud with Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, the Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob, or his opinion on wrestling today will turn into a pretty massive debate.
