During an appearance on the Johnny I Pro Show, WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart talked about various topics, including which wrestlers from his era he would have liked to face.
This is what Bret Hart said, “Kurt Angle would be one. I mean, there’s a lot of guys. Kurt Angle would be one of the first ones that comes to mind. Yeah, I mean, I’d like to have wrestled Lance Storm. Jericho, I’d like to wrestled.”
On Rey Mysterio:
“Rey Mysterio, there’s one. I would love to have wrestled Rey Mysterio. You know, the truth is is I was a guy — I loved as a kid, my passion in wrestling started from, I loved mask wrestlers. My favorite, I loved anyone with a mask. And Mil Mascaras was one of my favorites as a kid. And unfortunately, he was a really horrible wrestler and a horrible human being. But didn’t stop me from liking masked wrestlers. And when I met Rey Mysterio — I still say this. Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest wrestlers, maybe the greatest wrestler of all time. There’s nobody could lace Rey Mysterio’s shoes up. He was such a great wrestler, and a great athlete and a great — like he was just so good and such a smart wrestler and so amazing… I’d have to be a little younger than I am now. But maybe when when I was in my early 20s or maybe late 20s, I would love to have wrestled Rey Mysterio when I was young and could do all that kind of stuff. By the time I was in WCW, it might have been hard for me to do the kind of match I would love to do with Rey Mysterio.”
