Hulk Hogan Defends WrestleMania IX Injury Claims Amid Rivalry Rekindling

Bret Hart has reignited his long-standing feud with Hulk Hogan, labeling him a liar in a recent interview and recalling feelings of betrayal from their interactions during WrestleMania IX in 1993. Hart's comments were partly fueled by a new documentary, 'WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle,' which also features Hogan discussing the black eye he sported at the event. Hogan maintains that the injury was due to a jet ski accident, despite speculation that it was the result of a backstage fight with Randy Savage, a claim supported by Scott Steiner in the documentary. Hogan dismissed the rumors, insisting he never fought Savage and attributing his injury instead to a mishap while riding a Sea-Doo. This ongoing dispute between Hart and Hogan highlights the complex and often contentious relationships in professional wrestling. Hart has described his match against Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 as the pinnacle of his career, contrasting it with his feelings toward Hogan's actions at WrestleMania IX.
