Is the Sharpshooter the greatest finisher of all time? Let us know in the comments below!

Good of Bret to be honest about where he got the hold from. He saw Sting use it, and asked around and Konan showed him. So Sting had it first. You can argue over who did it best but Sting had it first. One of Bret's signature traits is his integrity. He's no liar. He might be wrong or inaccurate, but not intentionally.

[KeqingMain]

I like that Bret is honest and gives credit where credit is due. I had no idea Konnan taught him the sharpshooter.

[niksingh]

Fair play to konnan… I’ve never heard him bragging that he taught Bret the sharpshooter… humble guy… & fair play to Bret for telling it as it is…

[DrugzMunny]

This makes perfect sense because I honestly have always felt that Konnan was an absolute expert of submissions. Dude uses so many submission holds in the course of his matches, it's nuts.

People honestly forget before the Sharpshooter, the Hitman’s finish was the Piledriver

[derekwinkler]

The only difference between the way Sting does it compared to Bret. Is Sting starts the move with his right leg and, Bret starts it with his left. Both made huge impacts on the business. I’m a fan of both Sting and Bret. 🙏🏻

Invented by Karl Gotch, used by Riki Choshu in Japan. In the US, used by Adrian Adonis, Ronnie Garvin & Sting before Bret had started his singles career.

Konan taught Bret Hart the Sharpshooter? He might not have been a big star but he has had great influence on the business.

Sting first used the Scorpion Deathlock in 1987 and Bret Hart would first use it in 1991 when he pursued a solo career. When Sting applies the Scorpion Deathlock, he applies it quick. Bret would apply the Sharpshooter methodically and tight.

I love how the crowd burst out laughing about going in the shower and he joked at it too 😂🤣

[RugoGaming]

"IN THE SHOWER, boys." Hahaha

[BStudd]

As long time Bret fan, this is really surprising and informative. Hitman showing a lot of integrity here. Even though he wasn’t the inventor of the move, Bret really made it unique to him. He was the only one I ever saw that would step through with his left foot opposed to his right such as Sting, Owen, Benoit and even Rock(He had the ugliest version lol). Hats off to Bret though.

[GHOSTHOUSEJD]

He needs a podcast, when he tells stories I know it’s the truth 💯

[keltrepes]

I always thought that the Scorpion Deathlock was a much more badass name.

[tonyrandall]

My favorite wrestler in WCW was Sting and my favorite in WWE was Bret both doing same move 🤣

[MorAodhan]

Bret is a good guy. I feel the business misses a man of his integrity and passion. My first big introduction to him was his WWE run in 2010 (ikr?), but having grown up and studied the history of the sport, Bret is one of my all-time favourites. Class personified.

[yujirohanma]

Bret Hart is a class act and True JAM UP guy

[SuperIsolated]

The best there is of this human being is not his skill in the ring but his humble and down to earth character as an individual.
