Bret Hart Criticizes Hulk Hogan for Failing to Support Next Generation

During a live Q&A session in Germersheim, Germany, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart candidly reflected on his wrestling career, praising Mr. Perfect and Roddy Piper for their support in helping him prove his worth to WWE management. In contrast, Hart sharply criticized Hulk Hogan, accusing him of never assisting other wrestlers after his peak and preferring to see the company fail rather than help create new stars. Hart also criticized Jake Roberts and Shawn Michaels for similarly self-centered behavior, noting that politics and egos sometimes interfered with match planning, as in the case of WrestleMania 13. Hart detailed his creative differences with Ric Flair, claiming Flair repeatedly used the same match formula while Hart sought to innovate and control his own matches after winning the WWF Championship from Flair. These remarks highlight Hart's appreciation for peers who fostered his growth and his blunt assessment of those he felt hindered others' success. His comments add complexity to the legacies of these wrestling icons by emphasizing the importance of mentorship and cooperation within the industry.
