Ricardo Rodriguez says getting put in a Sharpshooter by Bret Hart was cool.
WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart had a return run in 2010, as he wrestled in several matches, including his bout against Vince McMahon at WWE WrestleMania 26. He returned to the ring one last time on the September 12, 2011, episode of WWE Raw. There, he and John Cena beat Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez. This marked Hart's final match, as he has not wrestled since.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ricardo Rodriguez looked back on being in Bret Hart's last match.
“Yeah, it’s insane. We were in Ontario that day, we were at the gym, Alberto and I, and then we get a text from Road Dogg, he tells Alberto the rundown. He said Hey, tonight, it’s gonna be you and Ricardo against John Cena and Bret Hart. We’re like, Ha! So we’re waiting for the LOL, and then it never came. So then I got the text. I was like, wait, what? All right, this is gonna happen. So obviously, Ricardo is not a wrestler. So I had my wrestling gear, but Ricardo is not a wrestler. So at that gym that we were at they were selling women’s tights and stuff, which I like them a little bit more because they’re more colorful, they have more designs than the men’s, obviously there’s not any men’s tights. So I bought a couple of the female workout tights and I took it to Road Dogg and then he’s like, Yeah, that one. So then we go over the match, and then it’s still not clicking in my head what’s about to happen, and then we get in the ring, and I’m like, Dude, this is cool. This is awesome. I’ve worked with John, but I was always grateful for the opportunity. But just the fact that, hey, we’re in Canada, Bret Hart’s about to put me in a sharpshooter. This is cool. This is super cool," Rodriguez said.
