Bret Hart said "Any idiot can hurt someone. It takes real talent to have a match with someone for 30 minutes or so, to look like you're hurting each other, and at the end of it nobody gets anything worse than some bruises."
Yes and by all accounts Goldberg's ring work was pretty atrocious. Not really a good example of his craft.That's right, and in contrast, Hart never hurt anyone in his entire career. That is the art. Any idiot can hurt someone. The hard part is to make it look like you're hurting someone every night and never injure anyone in your entire career.
This. TS talking out of his ass and a bunch of idiots jump onboard without being arsed to check if it's true.This thread:
TS sees a quote by a pro-wrestler speaking about stiff pro-wrestlers.
TS jumps to an incredibly stupid conclusion and without checking any facts to verify said idiocy; posts it as a "Pro Rassler talks bad about MMA" in the UFC forum
TS is joined by others who's jimmies are so russled they just assume that TS's incorrect statement is fact and pile on.
Well you could get more than bruises and actually die trying to land from the sky
Wow man that's little too far, and u seem like a actual wrestling fan to know thatWell you could get more than bruises and actually die trying to land from the sky

dude you're preaching to the choir here.Lesnar- collegiate wrestling background
Barnett- fighter before he turned pro wrestler
Sakuraba- has a real background in catch wrestling.
The point I'm trying to make is they were Real combat athletes before they were pro wrestlers all the other wrestlers cannot be put into this category.
That's like saying any barista from Starbucks can be a pro fighter like Patrick Cummings
lol savageWell you could get more than bruises and actually die trying to land from the sky
Except back in the day, Bret wouldn't be making the money he made in the WWF/E.
Plus, MMA fighting was still basically an unknown thing in the public consciousness.
Bret Hart is one of the guys who I totally respect, and I have to say he is the prime example why pro wrestling is evil from of entertainment. He was exposed to the business from when he was 1 year old. When he was trying to walk away, the business always found a way to lure him back. His family never was truly a happy place, from what it seems, there was always hate, jealousy. His brother died thanks to Vince being obsessed with stupid entrances, and Hitman's own health was destroyed. He was probably intelligent enough to be successful literally anywhere else, but he just couldn't walk away from it.
So while patrly what he said can be applied to MMA, but if you read any book written by Pro Wrestler - they all mention bullying, beating up newcomers on purpose, attempts to ruin personal lifes etc... No, Bret, I have to disagree with you...
Mod edit: There is no source so this is unconfirmed.

He didn't say it, hopefully TS gets dub for making a BS thread.I highly doubt he said that
