Bret Hart vs Will Sasso:WCW Monday Nitro February 15,1999

Dude had a Commotio Cordis at 2:37. Heenan and even Bret were shook for a split second 🤣

That was fantastic. From Bret shaking his head, hands on hips to Sasso flopping in the corner.. Bret choking him with cord & screaming at the ref "What! This is wrestling!!" The seated water break.. The Debra Wilson turn & the Bye Bye 👋 wave to the fans at the Sharpshooter... Hilarious Heel Stuff. Bret really could have a match with anyone. Damn, I miss Bret.

I hated this crap when WCW brought in celebrities to wrestle. But I'll give Sasso credit: he took bumps and sold like a champ. I can't fault him for that. I blame the booker, not the actors who actually enjoyed wrestling and had an opportunity to live their dream. Apparently Bret was very safe in this match, like he always was. But Will looked like he was dead after Bret choked him with the chords. For a guy who acted and never wrestled before, fantastic. Again, I hate Hollywood and wrestling merging, but if you're going to do it, at least have people who either know what they're doing in Bret's case and in Will's case have respect for the business and are willing to play their role properly.

Hogan versus Hart for the title on a PPV ? Nah, Hogan has the fingerpoke match with Nash. How about Bret versus Will Sasso for 3 minutes on Nitro ? Sure thing Eric !

Bret could wrestle anyone and make the match good, imo the best ever to do it better than HBK and hogan

[markwyman]

Will sold like a pro, especially with fat-guy reaction-times

[danski]

Will got hit down in the BAJA a couple times

Almost gave a thumbs up but the buffering circle in the middle killed the whole vibe.

[erikhuerta]

Will Sasso was only 24 when this happened

[killwalker]

totally forgot Debra was there, totally forgot she Turned on Will with 3 Chair Shots lolol. But Damn, Will Sasso if he had started younger, might could have had a good career as a wrestler. Took to it like Logan Paul, just without the Athletics.

Is that why he started impersonating WWF wrestlers instead after?
