Bret Hart is known for his controversial statements. He retired from in ring action, and he has to go through a lot of Criticism for his remarks on various things. He has always been critical of his fellow professional wrestler, Goldberg, who was, unfortunately, responsible for the early retirement of Hart. He had also been critical of other big names like Triple H.
Bret Hart was having a wonderful time in WCW in late 1999, and in December of the same year, he shared the ring with Goldberg, and during this match, Goldberg botched a superkick, which ultimately ended up destroying the career of Hart. He could never get back to his prime after this injury, and he could never forgive Goldberg for this incident either.
Bret Hart addresses modern day wrestling as too fake
Hart has always been critical of Goldberg, and he keeps on attacking the WWE Hall of Famer. But Goldberg, on the other hand, always apologized for this incident, and never been critical about Hart. Recently, Hart spoke with today's professional wrestling and called it too fake. Speaking on the “Johnny I Pro Show,” he said the following;
Bret Hart was one of the biggest names of wrestling throughout the 1990s
“I’ll be honest, I have a hard time watching today’s wrestling. I just can’t really watch it. It’s too fake for me. But I love watching the old 90s wrestling. I really do. Like when I watch my matches back, just in almost any match, even obscure Stampede Wrestling matches—there’s something about the realism, the punches and the kicks, and even the just the way the presentation is. It just seems to me to be more onus put on the workmanship of learning the craft of being wrestlers.”
He retired from in ring action in 2011
“I think that today’s wrestlers are actors—most of them are actors pretending to be wrestlers—and you know, they don’t actually know how to wrestle and they don’t even know what a headlock is. Like, everything is a high spot. Everything is high spots, like, ‘I want to get my move in.’ It’s like, I don’t know, I always thought wrestling needed to actually pretend to be wrestling. I miss the wrestling aspect and the psychology of the 60s and 70s wrestling, like the presentation of trying to, you know, pretending that it’s a real sport.”
Bret Hart continued working in the ring even after this injury. He returned to WWE and started working in the ring in 2010. Had a match with Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania 26, and he even won the WWE United States Championship. But he could never return to his prime. He completely stopped working in the ring after 2011.
