Bret Hart recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated, where he discussed a wide range of topics.
During the interview, he looked back on his WWE SummerSlam 1994 match with Owen Hart and how he wanted to do a ladder match, not a steel cage match.
“We never wanted to have a cage match. The truth was, I would have liked to have had a ladder match against Owen. We couldn’t do that because Shawn Michaels had used the idea at WrestleMania [against Scott Hall],” Bret said.
“I didn’t want to have that kind of match with Owen. We were two brothers feuding, but we didn’t want to across like we’d kill each other to win. We didn’t go the blood route, but nearly every great cage match has blood. The way I described it in my book is a cage match without blood is a chocolate sundae without the chocolate sauce, but Owen and I never wanted the image of us bleeding on each other, so we went without blood. We told the wrestlers’ story. We wanted to tell the suspense of getting in and out of the cage, and we were proud of the match. I thought it was a beautiful story,” Bret said.
