(All I can remember for now, anything else just reply to this thread and I will modify the poll)

Both wrestlers were in the top 100 of all time.

I personally think Kurt Angle has surpassed Bret Hart on all levels, but people seem to love and debate that, so here is the poll and the thread to set down any debate or rebuttals, lets see what the fans think!

It is a damn shame this can never be settled in the ring, but it is just one of those things I guess

Rock on, & KURT ANGLE IS THE BEST, IT'S TRUE, IT'S DAMN TRUE!

lets look at it this way... it looks great on paper for the imaginary match, true. BUT, it will never happen, because bret sustained slight brain damage when he wiped out on his bike & had a heart attack a few years back. sorry to say, but bret is half brain dead this side of eugene's gimmic ;D

[ReaperBLN]

It's hard to say who is the better one because Bret was great in his time and Kurt is nowadays.
It's very, very sad that Bret suffered this attack and will never be wrestling again but that's life.... At least he is still alive!

Have a nice day!

Oh Kurt wins hands down. Bret Hart is so over-rated, I don't hate him but you have to agree. A lot of people say they would prefer Hart to Angle even if they have never seen a Bret Hart match before just cause of the reputation he's got.

And I'm not stupid he earned that reputation but it's been blown out of proportion over recent years. Don't get me wrong he's one of the greatest ever in pro-wrestling but in actual wrestling ability Angle is better.

[WrestleMania]

Well it actually depends. Angle is the best at mat wrestling. Becuase of his backgorund in NCAA and Olympics. But in a Sports Entertainment wrestling ring Bret Hart is the best. But its just my opinion.

[Jeremy Walker]

Kurt Angle, you can't argue with gold medals as the greatest acheivment of anyone in the wrestling business... Kurt Angle > Bret, no doubt.

["sXe" Albear]

They are both legendry in there own time Bret was in the early 90's and Angle is now.

It would be extremly hard to choose it's a shame that they will never meet in the ring.

Both Kurt and Bret have both said they would love to have wrestled one another at one point only a shame it will never happen.

I know this much, Bret Hart vs. Kurt Angle = best match ever!!!

Im a HUGE Bret fan, he's the reason i started watching, the reason i appriciate wrestling for the art form it should be treated as, and no-one i like today comes close to his appeal to me. But...

I do think that Kurt Angle is the best wrestler of all time, without doubt. He can match Bret pound for pound on the mat, AND has the speed and agility that Bret never quite did. Can u see Bret doin a moonsault off the top of the cage? No, me neither. Now i kno that high flying doesn't make a wrestler, but in summing up the two men, u can't fail to take into account Kurt's superior agility, and his amazing ability to work a 5 star match with ANYONE, from the fast paced action of Rey Mysterio, to the slow brutal slugfest with Big Show, and thats sumthin Bret cud never do, as he pretty muched worked the same kinda match at the same kinda pace , no matter the opponent.

I don't think Bret's over-rated tho, no chance, he's earned every single spot of praise he has ever or will ever get, and i think that when both their careers are in the history books, that Bret's will still surpass that of Kurt's. His "gimmick" or "persona" if u will is also better than Kurts, and if it wasn't for people like Bret, then people like Kurt wouldn't be wrestling today. And i think that Bret has done far more for the industry in his career than Kurt will, so in THAT sense, Bret is the better of the two.

So i guess its what u personally class as being the correct tools that make a wrestler. Me? I'd say Kurt.
