Bret “Hit Man” Hart

He gained popularity for his finisher “Sharpshooter” which leads to pain in the lower back of the opponent. He was master in executing that move. Majority of his match, he won with the help of his finisher. He made tapped out wrestlers like Ric Flair, Razor Ramon, Stone Cold Steve Austin ( did not tapped , but was unconscious due to flow of blood and pain), Lex lugar and many more.

That loss ended the Bret Hart Era. Later in 1997 he was betrayed by the Chairman of WWE. That incident was called Monteral Screwjob. The referee calls for the bell, even though Bret hart did not tapped, Resulting Bret Hart losing his title. This led huge controversy in WWE. As Bret quit WWE and pursued his carrier in WCW.
