1984年，布雷特·哈特與世界摔角娛樂（WWF，現稱WWE）簽約，開始他的職業摔角生涯。最初，他與姐夫吉姆·奈德哈特（Jim Neidhart）合作，組成哈特基金會（The Hart Foundation）雙人組。這對組合取得相當大的成功，兩次贏得WWF雙打冠軍賽冠軍。

然而，之後布雷特·哈特展開單打生涯後開始一鳴驚人。以其技術優勢、流暢的比賽技巧和在比賽中講述引人入勝故事的能力而聞名。哈特於1991年擊敗派Mr.Perfect拿到生涯第一個WWF洲際冠軍，隨後在1992年擊敗瑞克．福萊爾(Ric Flair)贏得第一個WWF世界重量級冠軍。

在1990年代，布雷特·哈特是WWF新世代的巨星，參加過許多付費電視賽事，並與肖恩·邁克爾斯（Shawn Michaels）、送葬者（The Undertaker）和史蒂夫·奧斯汀（Stone Cold Steve Austin）等摔角手展開令人難忘的競爭。他的比賽以其技術的精湛而聞名，直到現在許多觀眾仍對他的比賽給予高度評價。

布雷特·哈特職業生涯中最具代表性的時刻之一發生在1996年的WrestleMania XII，當時他與肖恩·邁克爾斯進行一場60分鐘的鐵人賽，爭奪WWF冠軍。儘管哈特最終輸掉比賽，但其表現鞏固他作為同代摔角手中最偉大的地位。

儘管在WWF取得成功，布雷特與公司之間的關係因創作分歧和合同糾紛而惡化。這在1997年的Survivor Series中達到頂峰，當時哈特在與肖恩·邁克爾斯的比賽中被WWF管理層背叛。

離開WWF後，布雷特·哈特轉戰到世界冠軍摔角（WCW），但是因為霍克·霍根（Hulk Hogan）的政治操作下，他的歡迎程度不如WWF。那時候觀眾的焦點都在霍根主導的反派團體NOW（New World Order）身上。而比賽中被Goldberg嚴重踢到腦部後中風，無法進行摔角比賽。最後被世界冠軍摔角開除。

除摔角之外，布雷特·哈特還撰寫幾本熱銷書籍，並偶爾在與摔角相關的媒體或是賽事中客串亮相。由於弟弟歐文·哈特（Owen Hart）因特技操作不當而死，他與WWF的關係陷入冰點。但近幾年已經盡釋前嫌，偶爾會出現在WWE（前WWF）的賽事上。直到現在仍有許多摔角迷爭論布雷特或是肖恩·邁克爾斯誰才是史上最強的選手。資深評論員吉姆·羅斯（Jim Ross）給出這樣的結論：如果是史上最佳表演者，那麼肖恩莫屬；但若是史上最強技術選手，則非布雷特莫屬。

In 1984, Bret Hart signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE), marking the beginning of his professional wrestling career. Initially, he teamed up with his brother-in-law Jim Neidhart to form The Hart Foundation tag team. This pairing enjoyed significant success, winning the WWF Tag Team Championship on two occasions.

However, it was Bret Hart's singles career that truly flourished thereafter. Renowned for his technical prowess, smooth in-ring skills, and ability to tell captivating stories through his matches, Hart captured his first WWF Intercontinental Championship by defeating Mr. Perfect in 1991. He followed this up by winning his first WWF World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Ric Flair in 1992.

During the 1990s, Bret Hart emerged as a superstar of the WWF's New Generation era, engaging in memorable rivalries with the likes of Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. His matches were praised for their technical excellence, and many fans still hold his performances in high regard today.

One of the most iconic moments of Bret Hart's career came at WrestleMania XII in 1996, where he faced Shawn Michaels in a 60-minute Iron Man match for the WWF Championship. Although Hart ultimately lost the match, his performance solidified his status as one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation.

Despite his success in the WWF, Bret Hart's relationship with the company soured due to creative differences and contract disputes. This reached its peak at the 1997 Survivor Series, where Hart was famously betrayed by WWF management during his match against Shawn Michaels.

After leaving the WWF, Bret Hart joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW), but his reception was not as warm as in WWF, largely due to political maneuvering by Hulk Hogan and the focus of the audience on Hogan's faction, the New World Order (nWo). Hart's career was tragically cut short after suffering a severe head injury from a kick by Goldberg during a match, which resulted in a stroke. He was eventually released by WCW.

Beyond wrestling, Bret Hart has authored several bestselling books and occasionally makes appearances in wrestling-related media or events. His relationship with WWE, formerly WWF, was strained following the tragic death of his brother Owen Hart due to a stunt gone wrong. However, in recent years, tensions have eased, and Hart has made occasional appearances in WWE events.

To this day, wrestling fans debate whether Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels is the greatest wrestler of all time. Veteran commentator Jim Ross has offered the following conclusion: if judging by entertainment, Shawn Michaels takes the title, but if considering technical prowess, Bret Hart is unmatched.
