Smacktalk Radio Live (www.smacktalkradiolive.com) aired their WWE 'Money in the Bank' preview episode Thursday and had a chance to speak with Bret 'The Hitman' Hart on a variety of topics. This is one of the highlight of the episode:
Bret Hart on the concept of the MITB ladder match and whether he would of liked to have participated in one:
"I think I’m the guy that brought the ladder match concept to the company in the first place. I brought it from Calgary and Shawn stole the idea from me. I wouldn’t really say it’s a touchy subject but we all know what happened, Shawn too. I think if they hadn’t stole the idea from me and used it at Wrestlemania, I think I would’ve had a ladder match with Owen instead of a cage match. The concept was great, and Shawn got all the credit for having a great match with Razor Ramon, but it’s easy to take someone’s idea and do all the spots. There’s nothing but suspense in a ladder match. But you have guys like Edge and the Hardy Boys who have taken the concept much further than it was. I think it would have been interesting to see Bret Hart and the Dynamite kid in a ladder match say circa 1987-88. But a lot of wrestlers have come down the road who have improved on the match INCLUDING Shawn and Razor, I mean give them credit they deserve, they had a great ladder match. It stills stands out to people as being one of the greatest of all time. And I have no problem saying that, it was a greatmatch. The [MITB] is a different idea…its at least different and interesting and its not so easy to be different and interesting all the time."[/quote]
