I just...I guess im not understanding were you are getting this. I dont see were the "beat the holy hell" portion comes from. The stip isnt "beat the holy hell out of your opponet, then throw him in a trash can" match, its just simply a dumpster match. The match could last 30 fucking seconds, in reality.
also, lest we forget, bret is drastically underrated as a brawler. Ask Steve Austin about it.
Okay.
Dumpster matches are no disqualifications. The dumpster is backstage. I don't know how much you guys know about Harley Race, but this guy was a total cheater and villain.
He's allowed to use chairs, brass knuckles, every piece of equipment you can find. This is what he LIKES to do. Bret Hart is a tough guy, I'll give you that. I've seen the guy take some serious beatings and still end up winning the match.
I'm not even saying he can't win; I am just saying in this one scenario, I'd put my money on Harley only because it turns into a brawl with NO DQ. It's also not like a battle royale where you just gotta throw someone out of the ring. Dumpster matches are more complicated than that.
Neither of these two are going to be taken from the ring to the back and tossed into a dumpster in 30 seconds. This is going to be a war, and no mistake.
Bret is famous for doing a few things and one of them is when he's getting beat down, he pulls a win out of nowhere via Sharpshooter or an inside cradle or some unique pinning combination. There are no pinfall or submissions and to beat Harley Race, he's gotta lift the guy up at least a small distance and toss him into a large dumpster.
Basically to do this, you have to (A) have a guy beaten so badly he's unable to stop it from happening or (B) be so much bigger or stronger than him that you can just man handle them into the can.
Bret is NOT going to accomplish B which leaves him with A. Bret can brawl but it's far from his preferred game and its right into what Harley Race likes to do. That's why I'm leaning towards Harley Race in this scenario.
No kidding, just about any other type of match I vote Bret without almost any hesitation.
