Bret Hart Labels Triple H Phony Over Montreal Screwjob

Bret Hart has expressed strong criticism of WWE's Chief Content Officer, Triple H, challenging his wrestling legacy and character. Despite a previous positive encounter, Hart now calls Triple H a "phony" who never earned or deserved his position, attributing much of it to his marriage to Stephanie McMahon, the boss's daughter. Hart also revealed lingering resentment from the 1997 Montreal Screwjob, stating he wished Triple H had been present when he punched Vince McMahon in the locker room, suggesting it might have altered personal dynamics. Hart dismisses Triple H's in-ring accomplishments, saying he never rated him as a great wrestler and never wanted to wrestle him. This criticism ties back to the controversial role Triple H played in the Montreal Screwjob, where he allegedly helped orchestrate the double-cross against Hart. Additionally, WWE's backstage politics continue to stir controversy, with Jonathan Coachman publicly criticizing Triple H and WWE for excluding him from a recent tribute video, highlighting ongoing tensions between current management and former talent.
