DISCLAIMER: This in NO way has to do with Bret Hart's complaining over the Montreal Screwjob. It is STRICTLY about people's views on his opinions of Owen's death. So I ask you do NOT give me feedback having to do with his whining about the screwjob. Thank you.(However, feedback on the actual topic will be appreciated). I'm sick of this. Fans need to get off the back of Bret Hart.It is unfair that people accuse him of using his brother's death to get attention. Even though we (even me) will never know, I think it's safe to think that he is NOT doing that. Now before you jump on my back for sticking up for the guy, I have to say, I can see where normal fans are coming from when they think this, but after reading Martha Hart's/Owen Hart's book, "Broken Harts: The Life and Death of Owen Hart", I have to say, I truly think all the views saying that he uses Owen's death to his advantage is false. Now, I would like to take this oppurtunity to talk about the book, to try to help myself out here.

Owen's wife, Martha, who knows Owen more than anyone knows him, says that Bret was the connection between him and the other Harts, because Owen was the rebel of the family in a way. Owen was sick of hearing the Harts constantly talking about wrestling every Sunday when he and Martha went over the Hart house, for their weekly Sunday Dinner. Owen always left early because he didn't want to keep talking about it. Bret, who liked wrestling just as much as the other Harts, also understood where Owen was coming from, so in a way, if it weren't for Bret, Owen, and the other Hart's wouldn't have been as close as they were. Bret was the only Hart who kept in touch with Owen, and told him what their brothers were up to, and visa-versa. In other words, Bret was the closest brother Owen had, according to Martha, who, again, is the person who knew Owen the best.

Once Martha found out about the fall, and realized it was legit (she at first thought it was Owen playing a rib), she called the Harts, who called Bret, who, when he recieved the message, was in a plane, on an important ride. He stopped the plane, got off, and got another plane back to Calgary, and ran to Martha's house, to comfort her, proving that he does not just think about himself like everyone claims. He even slept on the couch that night, so he could make sure Martha was doing good.

So in other words, I'm fed up that people think that Bret has a big ego and only cares about himself. It's not true- I honestly believe that. Everyone's entitled to their opninion, and this is the reason, I disagree with the majority of other people's opinions on this matter, but again, it's just people's opinions, and this is mine. Feedback, like said in the disclaimer is appreciated.
