Yesterday I was watchin WWE Classics.. which we all have known as WWF durin our school days and they were featurin a fight between Bret the HITMAN and 123 Kid, not sure how many of them recall them but I was a Big fan of Bret the HITMAN and just couldn't stop myself from watchin it but wait therez more.. itz one of those matches fought way back on July 11 1994 and it was an interestin match out there and I was rootin for HITMAN as usual and it was the championship which was at stake for him.
He did the most unusual thing which we never get to see. He refused to be acknowledged to be declared the winner coz 123 Kid was havin his leg over the rope when the count down happened and though the referee didn't see it and he called for the match to be ended, HITMAN refused to accept it and told the ref that the match should continue.. Hey how many of us would do that, coz we are all in the rat race that we would only care to win either hook or crook and here is a man who refused to accept his victory in any evil way.
Then after some consultation, the match resumes and HITMAN goes on to win the watch and beat this, this time he beats him legally and then doesn't want his hand to be raised as the winner, instead he goes upto the KID and asks if he is ok and ensures that the KID gets back to his feet and then goes on to raise the KID's hand... Hell how many of us would do that now?????? none would be my answer coz we are all so god damn selfish that we are more worried on our winnings rather than see whom we really brought down..
I feel vindicated that when I know that guy whom I worshipped durin my school days was truly a CHAMPION in all sense and wish that I've taken some good points from him and hope to imply those in my daily life and hope these lines from him "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be" is something we all try livin upto in our lives.
*Note on HITMAN* Source Wiki:
Hart himself frequently described himself as "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be" (derived from the 1984 film The Natural), which he justifies through three claims: he never injured an opponent through any fault of his own; through the entire course of his career he missed only one show (as a result of flight difficulties); and that he only once refused to lose a scripted match—his final WWF match with Shawn Michaels at the Survivor Series event in 1997, which culminated in the now infamous Montreal Screwjob
