Alberto El Patron on WWE legend Bret Hart calling him one of the greatest heels of all time
In a chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling last year, Alberto El Patron recalled when Bret Hart praised him for being one of the greatest heels of all time. The four-time WWE world champion revealed that The Hitman advised him never to turn babyface as he was so good at being a bad guy.
"I don't remember pretty well, but I remember being with Cody in my corner and facing Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, who's an amazing human being. He's a great superstar, and I just remember him saying, and I'll take that in my heart forever. He said, 'Alberto, you're such a good heel, you're one of the greatest heels I've ever seen. You're so good as a heel that you should never be a babyface,'" said Alberto El Patron.
