Bret Hart Fake Raw Return 2005

No.5 on the biggest pop of all time list.

[dougthedon]

One of the biggest pops in WWE history for a guy who wasn’t even there

[julianannon]

The only time I thought a riot was going to break out on tv

[WS.]

Imagine if he actually came out and walked down that ramp people would've lost their damn minds.

[azapro]

I suppose if nothing else, we got to see what Bret's entrance lighting would have looked like in the Ruthless Aggression era.

[ProdVelocity]

Bret at home thinking he missed the email

[drewstar]

This fake return really made me appreciate Brets music, the one he comes out to now is pure sanitation in comparison

[ciaransmith]

In an alternative timeline Bret's music hits, He marches right down to that ring and beats Shawn Michaels ass like it's the 90's.

[ZTheTinyTonTerror]

The single greatest pop in the history of wrestling. And it was a hoax...

[carbinehighlights]

Imagine Vince doing this with CM Punk in Chicago

[SummerCleopatra]

lol I think Vince and the guys did this as a test to see how fans would react if and when Bret came back post Screwjob, big ass pop for the Hitman

[vikenmanjikian]

The way the base was hitting with the crowd pop, it made it feel even bigger, probably my biggest what if for Monday Night Raw moments, if Bret and Vince had reconciled enough in 05 for him to appear in that moment

[robminmonaca]

I loved Shawn doing Bret Hart arm motions like he did in when he always came out in the 90s with his jacket.

[Twominutedevotions]

In one video we see the things every wrestler should strive for: what it sounds like when you are OVER, and what real heat sounds like. If you are hearing either of these, you’re doing it right

[mathiascage]

Probably one of the biggest pops in WWF/E, WCW, ECW, AEW, ROH, NJPW, TNA iMPACT, NWA, etc history.

[falloutfan]

This was no doubt the most heat HBK ever got as a heel. These people legit were about to storm the ring and beat his ass 😂

[matthewpirtle]

That was amazing and also a huge letdown lol.

[Jared_Elam]

Imagine walking down the street outside the arena at that precise moment and suddenly hearing 15 thousand people going batshit berserk.

[tylerdame]

The explosion of he would’ve walked out. My god.

[claytron]

I’m pretty sure that this is the last time that they played this music which is a shame. One of the most iconic wrestling themes ever.

[Nega_Duck_X]

Could you imagine how that place would’ve exploded if they played his music one more time and he walked out
