I've never seen anything from Bret's face to heel transition in 1985. Amazing find.

Nice! Non-Canadian fans may only see one legend in that ring, but for a guy growing up on Maple Leaf Wrestling (even if I missed its glory days), Ron Hutchinson is the man! Even if you don't know him, you've seen his work. Pretty much every Ontario wrestler to make it big was trained by him.

@mmcguinn Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing! It's great to hear Jesse and the commentator paint the picture during this match of a possible explanation for his heel turn!

@TONYGILLEY

don't think so, I've only ever seen taped matches from Bret's early babyface WWF run and then he was suddenly a heel tagging with the Anvil, bret alludes to as much in his Book. His babyface character wasn't important enough to warrant an explanation for the turn.

Was there a build up to his heel turn during this period of time? I seem to remember there being some heat (kayfabe) with the Bulldogs at that point

@darkhorse1280 Yeah I think Sweet Daddy Siki had a hand in their training too

@lambert581

...and Trish Stratus as well.

I think Ron Hutchinson is the guy who trained Edge & Christain

good to hear Jesse putting Bret over so well, can tell he respects him and Stu

Nice to hear early commentary from Jesse...
