Bret Hart buries the world

[richaveli83]

Bret Hart is my favorite wrestler of all time, but damn dude let that shyt go! Yeah, he was screwed over and suffered a lot of personal loss, but dude needs to chill.

I can’t help but wonder if the concussions are part of why Bret can’t let go. He’s admitted to memory/post-concussion issues, and CTE is known to amplify anger and mood swings. Some of it is just Bret being Bret, but the head trauma probably keeps those wounds raw instead of healing. Makes the grudges feel less like choice and more like something he’s neurologically stuck in.

I also kind of wonder if they lean into the schtick a little bit. He's likely aware fans find the complaining hilarious or off putting, so it may be a conscious decision for him to double down on it. Or not lol.

At this point if Goldberg kicked Bret in the head again today in 2025 no one would care


Dude is the most narcissistic, self righteous, delusional, crybaby bytch in the wrestling business and that’s saying a lot.

Get over yourself Bret.

In his book "The Stone Cold Truth," published in 2003*, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin describes his relationship with Owen Hart, following the botched piledriver at SummerSlam 1997 that bruised Steve's spinal cord:
“Owen Hart never called me after he piledrove me and injured me. I heard that his brother Bret kept telling him to call me, but we never connected.
Did I hate Owen? No. That’s just the business and we weren’t really friends to start with. Did I want to work with him after that? No, I didn’t. I didn’t want to do business with him again. Right or wrong, that’s how I felt.
Sometimes I wonder how it could have happened. As good a technical wrestler as Owen was, he should have known he needed to drop to his knees, not his ass, to protect my neck.
I knew Owen as the consummate all-time ribber. He was always joking with people. I’m not saying this deal was a rib. I’m just saying he was always ribbing people and as good-natured as he was, he never maliciously did anything to hurt anyone. Owen was all about fun, so I couldn’t figure out why he did it that way.
When he didn’t call me at my house afterward, that kind of upset me a bit. It was like, “Hey, if I damn near paralyzed someone, I’d be calling them every damn day of the week!”
The WWE Merchandise Department came out with a T-shirt that said OWEN 3:16, and on the back it said, I JUST BROKE YOUR NECK. That was pretty damn cheesy. If I was going to get any royalties off that one, maybe I would have liked it better, but if he’s going to put the money in his pocket for messing my life up, I wasn’t “ real fond of that.
As I said, I didn’t hold any animosity toward Owen. But it was never the same between us. I didn’t think he was as funny as I used to think he was.
When we’d pass in the hall or in the back, I’d say hi, but we never really spoke much after I came back. I never could figure that out. J.R. thought that maybe Owen was sorry and ashamed that he screwed the piledriver up, but couldn’t, or wouldn’t, admit it. I don’t know."

Wtf is he supposed to say

Bret is a bitter loser and I’ve been saying this for years. Glad a small part of the community is slowly realizing this.

He’s just answering questions
