But is that even necessary with Bret? I think we all GET his point, no need for hyperbole.

I would be very interested to hear from Bret what makes a great wrestler. Is it innovation in the ring, being able to do moves no one else can, the amount of moves someone knows? I wonder how much credit he gives to storytelling, charisma, playing off the crowd, playing off your opponent, selling, evoking a reaction from the audience? I'm just curious as to whether or not it's all technical to Bret or if the art and storytelling hold any weight. Perhaps if he was less of a technician and more of an entertainer then maybe WWE's biggest booms don't happen right BEFORE (Hogan) and AFTER (Rock/Austin) he's the face of the company? Who knows.

I'm sure Bret values guys like himself way too highly. He'd probably say Tyson Kidd is 20 times the professional wrestler Triple H is.

Im sure to him, in ring skill is by far the most important. Probably because he was never that good on the mic and only became decent later in his career.

Jim Cornette agrees with Bret (NSFW -- though you should always assume that with Cornette):

I just watched Paul Heyman's shoot on Vince, did Vince ever respond to any of the comments or did he just keep his mouth shut afterwards?
