These are questions to which we’ll never know the answers, but Meltzer thinks one this is certain – Hart would have had a longer and more successful run if he would have stayed in WWE. Hart’s WCW run never amounted to much, and if he would have stayed in WWE he would have been in the main event picture with Austin, The Rock, Michaels and Triple H for years to come.
Meltzer points out that when Shawn Michaels returned to WWE in the early 2000s The Rock refused to work with him, even though this was a dream match for a lot of fans. This stemmed back to the things Michaels did years prior, when The Rock was beginning his WWE run.
Meltzer and Jericho both agree that because Hart’s career was seemingly cut short, a lot of fans today don’t hear enough about how amazing he was in the ring. There’s no doubt in both their minds that Hart deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of the greatest technical professional wrestlers of all time.
That sums up today’s episode Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
