Here is a chance to compare two of the best superstars the WWE has trotted out through the years.

Although Bret Hart is currently and most likely will stay retired, HBK took off in the middle to late part of his career with a real bad back. If Bret Hart hadnt gotten that crazy concussion from Goldy and then the stroke he would most definetly be back in the ring today in some capacity I imagine.

Some of Bret Hart and HBK's Accomplishments of the top of my head. Feel free to help me out with some.

Bret Hart
*Leader of the Hart Foundation, solidifying his earlier days as one of the best tag teams in the biz. Once broken off into singles his partner basically faded into obscurity.

HBK.
*One half of the Rockers and innovated quite a bit of the high flying moves that you see in the WWE today. Once broken off into singles his partner basically faded into obscurity.

HBK was also one of the founding members of one of the most remembered stables ever. DX

Bret Hart.
Fantastic Technician in the ring. Could put over anyone in the ring.

HBK.
Went from High Flyer to technician due to back problems. Put others over when the duty called. (You screwed Bret chant starts now)

Hart and HBK - Both multiple WWE Champions. Hart also captured the WCW title on a couple of occasions.

What will they be remembered for? Who had the better overall career?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Hart is definately the better technician I don't particularily care for either of them as people. As far as in ring work Hart is definately the better of the two unless HBK puts on some kind of amazing show with Benoit Monday. Then i might change my vote

That's kinda not true, sure Janettey hasn't been as popular as Shawn Michaels but he is a WWE Intercontinental Champion and a two time WWE Tag Team champion. That is far from being faded into obscurity.

I don't recall his career being much of anything after about a year of being apart from Michaels. I had also heard that he was a big time boozer. Who knows? THe point was that HBK took off while Marty became just another wrestler.

Also, I didn't clarify my pick. I go with HBK as having a better career.
