Bret Hart BLASTS Hulk Hogan Over WWF Title Loss! 

Did Vince make the wrong call at WrestleMania IX? Let us know in the comments below!

Hulk Hogan's dad: My favourite wrestler is Bret Hart. Hulk: That doesn't work for me, Father

As an 80/90's kid you never really thought about the behind the scenes politicking that was going on but as an adult LOVE hearing all these stories

People still call Bret a 'mark' for himself or taking himself too seriously or delusional. Yet decades later, his words and work have proven to be the most solid and truthful even more. People consistently come out years later and confirm all of this. That's absolutely rare in an industry like that.

I put a lot of this on Vince. He added fuel to the fire. One, I don't believe Vince was ever fully sold on Bret being the top guy because Vince loves bigger guys. Two, he created more friction between Hulk and Bret by telling Bret all the negative stuff Hogan said about him as opposed to setting them both down in the same room and let them iron out their issues.

Where I live (Thunder Bay) Bret did a signing event at the boys and girls club. He had just suffered a stroke but I didn't care so I asked to take a picture with him and my newborn daughter. He teared up a bit and told me after that was the first offer to hold a baby since the stroke. As a Canadian kid he will always be my champ.

I love Bret. He cared about wrestling.

Bret’s matches have aged better than anyone’s, they’re absolutely timeless. Incredible to watch to this day. So great. Bret’s my GOAT forever.

I love Bret Harts stories of the betrayal and mistreatment he suffered. I wish him all the best

Why would Bret be mad about being a part of history? He got to witness the first ever unofficial Money in the Bank cash in 😂

Man I could listen to Bret talk wrestling stories for hours. His book btw is excellent

One of the best technical wrestlers of all time. He is literally one of the greatest

Vince lied to many of these wrestlers by saying certain wrestlers refused to put others over. Notice Vince told Bret do not tell anyone even Hogan. I met Bret at a local bar when the wrestlers were in town. He was there with his brother Owen & Curt Henning. He was a really nice guy

I think hogan's deal was he didn't like to lose clean to the "smaller" guys. Over the course of his career, almost every clean hogan loss was to giants or people of similar physical stature.

"The only think Hulk Hogan ever knew was. How to make Hulk Hogan" - Bret Hart

Brett looked at wrestling as a sport rather than entertainment.

It’s so crazy hearing all these negative stories about Hulk Hogan

Should've been Bret vs Savage at Mania 9.

This is one of the reasons Wrestlemania 9 was one of the worst Wrestlemanias ever.

Bret Hart is the greatest technical wrestler of all time because he could wrestle people without using tables, ladders, and chairs. He wrestled Owen Hart in a steel cage without spilling a drop of blood and it’s considered one of the greatest steel cage matches of all time. Made very few mistakes in the ring and there was some integrity about him in his business dealings. Definitely up there with Lou Thez, Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund. Very honorable people.

I always love Bret's interviews.... Straight forward, No sugarcoating

The hero of my childhood. When I started watching wrestling as a 10 year old in 1992, Bret was always the true superstar for me. Of course there were other good guys... The Undertaker, Razor Ramon (later in WCW I realized how good he really was), Shawn Michaels, The British Bulldog, Randy Savage, Big Boss Man and Owen Hart. Of course, it was all a bit over the top and the storylines and gimmicks were completely corny. But that was still a really good time in wrestling. I still enjoy watching the PPVs from the 90s.

Facts: Vince wanted to use Hulk as an attraction like Andre, Hulk felt he could still draw, Vince gave into his demands and his title run was a disaster. Why else would hulk call the wwf title a christmas ornament when he toured Japan.

Bret “The Hitman” Hart truly is the best ever to me. His matches, promos, stories, legacy hold up stronger than anyones from that time. I could watch all of his matches right now and be into it like I was a kid. He had an x-factor nobody ever had, and athletically on par with the field

The reason I always trust what Bret says is because his stories never change, he’s consistent and he certainly has things to be bitter about. Namely that he worked to make it to the top and Vince was always trying to switch out the title on him.

Rule #1: never trust a promoter, especially when his last name is McMahon.

Bret is truly one of WWE’s casualties for no damn reason. Arguably one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and still got done wrong even before the Montreal screw job. 🤦🏾‍♂️ smdh!

I watched his match with Bulldog from SummerSlam 92 at Wembley yesterday. I watched it once before, a few months ago and thought it was great, and re watched it yesterday, and I now have a renewed appreciation for it. Absolutely incredible wrestling match! One of the best I've ever seen!

I remember WWF magazine promoting a Bret/Hogan match for Summerslam. I distinctly remember how ridiculous it was when they said that Hogans legdrop makes the whole body numb. That was the only article I ever read that said something silly like that, its why I remember it.

Hulk hogan did the same with undertaker, at 1991 Survivor series, saying he hurt his neck,

Hulk v Hart was a missed opportunity in WWE

I’ll never forget that episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia when the characters described Hulk Hogan as having the silken hair of a Chinese man and the skin of a hot dog. 😆😆😆

Bret Hart is honestly "The best there is, The best there was, and the best there ever will be " Period

I know Bret probably sounds bitter about this but I'd be bitter too if someone tries to screw with my career

Another reason hulk loss the belt to yoko is when hulk was doing a tour in Japan he called the WWF belt a toy. And that got Vince angry

To this day the match with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels is still the longest in WrestleMania history 💪

I met Brett when he came to Puerto Rico to do some events and he was down to earth I also met Mr Kennedy that day

This dude’s got the best wrestling book out there. Most of the others are filtered, sponsored by the wwe publishing machine. Bret got his own publisher and put it all out there, no holds barred. Truly the best of the best!

Bret gets into heated argument with hogan backstage Tony Kahn fears for his life

That would have been an incredible moment in history to have Bret Hart submit Hulk Hogan in the sharpshooter in the middle of the ring at Summerslam. A moment we would never stop talking about.

Nobody tells stories like Bret he is an absoloute genius.

Even as someone who never liked Bret, his booking was absurd. His first world title win was at a house show with zero build, his second (over Yoko) was a fluke that came after Vince tried to make Lex his next Hogan, then Bret had to carry Diesel and play second fiddle some more, then Shawn, it's ridiculous. He was NEVER treated like the chosen face of the company, only as a backup plan.

Bret won the King of the Ring, and also had two long matches at Summerslam, and was in the ring for like 30 minutes, and then he teamed with his brothers at Survivor Series so that was a pretty cool Hitman era. Bret and Owen versus The Steiner Brothers is a great one too.

I had heard the original plan was Bret was going to defeat Yokozuna which would have been during the middle of the card and Hogan and Beefcake were going to beat Money INC for the belts in the last match so WM9 would have ended with Hogan celebrating at the end as a champion anyway however Hogan decided the tag team belts were beneath him and wanted the WWF belt again so the finishes were changed as were the order of the matches as well.

Keep in mind that at the same time as this was going on, Hogan went to Japan and said the WWF Title is a "toy," and in Japan he can really wrestle. The same time as he was refusing to work with Bret Hart.

Imagine having that match versus Hogan and it not being for the title? I agree with Bret: it would have been so silly.

As a kid I always loved to see Hulk , but dam there are so many stories where Hulk refused to put the future over ! In contrast all time greats like the Rock 🪨 were more than happy to . I still think the all time greats are the ones who put wrestling in front of their ego .

Man Bret is like a god out there!! The crowd has so much respect for him. He deserves it.

My step dad modeled the way he raised me after Bret Hart. Lots of knee drops, elbows, and backbreakers.

I'm almost 50yrs & I grew up with all this. So many stories of Hulk being a douche & that's just the reality of things. The real fans know how Bret was double crossed by the WWF/WWE more than once. Bret is still one of the greatest of all time! The most technical wrestler of all time. There will never be another team like the Hart foundation. They truly bled & died for their art ❤

Bret was the champ when i started watching in 1994. Love Bret! His matches have aged well

Just going to remind everyone that had they not taken the title off of Bret that we would have been denied the greatest post match promo in history at the next Royal Rumble when Owen famously said, "That's why I kicked you leg out of your leg."

Bret Hart is the embodiment of wrestling. He had the family background, he could nail a promo, was the best technical wrestler, and he absolutely loved wrestling. That's why Bret is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

Great Bret Hart story after British Bulldog “I’m fooked” story.

I'd venture to guess Vince played guys against each other pretty regularly. Hogan has a bad reputation for this kind of stuff, but I doubt it was ever that simple. Vince did the same thing with Brett and Shawn and Brett didn't see it til he was looking down on Vince outside the ring in MTL. It was always another wrestlers fault with Brett.

You see Bret, the fact of the matter is, when it's all said and done, that this was what was best for business. It's all about the game and how you play it !

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be Bret the "Hitman" hart the G.O.A.T. !

I dont believe Vince told him he would have the belt for 7 or 8 years. I think that what Bret wants to believe. And once Hogan left, the Austin era began shortly after, because Bret didnt draw money.

Technical GOAT he was my hero when I was a kid still to this day at 38 years old if I ran into Brett and he put his sunglasses on me I would freak out 😂😂😂

Bret’s highly articulate and a great story teller. Have always been a fan and will always be a fan!

Bret is a guy who is full of so close moments which could have made for fantastic wrestling. A match with Hogan at SummerSlam in ‘93, another match with Austin at WrestleMaina 14. A big time money feud with Hogan or someone when he debuts in WCW. Maybe if he doesn’t get concussed he does some indie dates. Just imagine Bret Hart in an early 2000’s ROH. Having a 30 minute match with Joe on his ROH World Title run, a feud with CM Punk after his 60 minute draw with Joe. A battle with Danielson in 2006. Bret on the second rope but Joe catches him and sets him up for the Muscle Buster but Bret counters in a small package Punk vs Bret is a money match because if Punk (as shown in his AEW run) LOVES Bret. I’ve been thinking and seeing some Terry Funk stuff recently and his feud with Ric Flair is an older veteran trying to keep up with the younger generation. That could be the theme of the ROH run. Would Bret do it? I don’t know but I’d love to have seen

Bret Hart is a living legend. I admire your work, you are the best there is, was and ever will be, Bret. Much love 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love Bret Hart and like CM Punk was quoted saying "Bret Hart was right; Bret Hart is always right" always the best- when he stopped wrestling wrestling wasn't great soon after...I'm so glad I was alive during the golden era. Thank you Hitman xo 💕

Hogan was everything in wrestling at that time. Bret was a tag wrestling guy.

I member the shoot interviews back in the day where Bret had literally nothing but praise for Hogan and said Hulk was always good to him.

I do believe Brett on this, he comes off very authentic and intelligent. Hogan is definitely known as someone who would do anything he had to do to stay as the top guy and it’s probably a big reason he always stayed as a top guy over all those years. Also this friendly outgoing charismatic but sort of 2 faced behavior is definitely a trademark of many Floridians, which is where Hogan is from.

Hulk saying Bret wasn't in his league is ridiculous, Bret is THE best technical wrestler that WWE has ever had.

Been watching Bret since ‘97 even at 40 he was still polished

9:10 people may think Bret is bullshitting but keep in mind that Vince thought Bret would drop the title to Shawn, no problem, despite the problems they had. Vince is a little weird like that, to say the least

It it was Bret's style of wrestling still prevailing today, I'd still be a wrestling nut. Not just a fancy catchphrase, he was the best there is, best there was and best there ever will be.

I grew up watching Bret wrestle, he will always be one of the greats, a legend. You and Hogan should be cool. Life is short and thanks for all those awesome years man.

So many idiots on here talking about how Bret is always complaining but hes answering the questions he's asked, his opinion would have been the same 30 years ago and if 30 years on somebody asks the same old questions about the same old event wtf is he gonna do? He's being paid for an appearence and getting asked the same questions about his career, they can't sit and talk about Brets grandkids cos thats not what they're there for

Love Bret. His creative mind is what made him the GOAT. He wasn't as tall as Andre or as animated as Hogan, but he had natural charisma/a cool factor and always put on the most entertaining match and that made him the best. Very few matches have rewatch value but pretty much all of Bret's PPV (and even TV) stuff is just as good as the first time when you revisit it.

Is the full video of this up somewhere?

Bret Hart is such an amazing story teller and I love listening his tell stories. This man is a one of a kind and amazing human being. I'm happy that he's in living in peace. Losing his baby brother Owen in that accident in 99 and suffering a stroke 3 years later. I hope he lives the rest of his life with peace, happiness and comfort. Love ya Bret!

Bret Hart is the biggest Bret Hart fan

Hogan to his wife before bedtime, “it’s a no from me brother, not tonight jack.”

Why would hogan want to lose on tapping out before leaving. At that time he never submitted in a match and he never lost to a smaller guy. It was all about giants then. Losing NY submission to a perceived smaller wrestler would make him look so weak before leaving to a new company and would kill his character. It's almost the same reasoning why Bret didn't want to lose in Montreal to Shawn before leaving to a no company.

Bret lives his life like he was put on this earth to be a pro wrestler. It’s his whole identity. Now that it’s over. He is so unhappy. There is more to life than wrestling

Many go on about Bret Hart’s abysmal WCW run but his main event run in the WWF between 1992 & 1997 (before Steve Austin was mega-over) could’ve been better too. All those years Vince McMahon tried to push Lex Luger, Diesel & Shawn Michaels who couldn’t draw a dime but everyone wanted to see the Hitman in the main event scene as World Champ. The Hitman between 1992 & 1997 should have main evented at least 4 WrestleManias during that time considering how over he was back then before The Attitude Era

Always enjoy hearing Bret talk Hogan

Bret and Jesse Ventura thought that hulk Hogan was there "friend" .

You can tell how personal the business was to him! Like he saw himself as the legit world champ. You can hear it in his voice. I feel for Bret, he's always been in my top 3!

I get his anger with Hogan and Wrestlemania. As a kid, I hated that finish, and as an adult, it's still terrible. With that said, Yoko deserved his title win, but they should have left it at that instead of Hulk coming in and ruining the show. I hated Yoko at the time. Quick for a big guy who was dominating everyone. Shows how good of a job he done.

I don't think Bret has ever given an interview where the majority of it wasn't him whining about something.

Bret saying Hogan wouldn’t put him over before he went to WCW yet Bret didn’t want to put over Shawn before going to WCW. Pot calling the kettle black. Bret has issues with everyone it seems.

Imagine if Andre treated Hogan the way he treated Bret, smh.

Bret is very cool composed intelligent guy

Lol @ Hogan tapping to a Sharpshooter at Summerslam? Who in what world thought that was going to go over with Hogan?

Bret seems like the type to be bitter nomatter the situation or how long it’s been

He did Bret a favour. Not only was it not yet believable for Hogan to lose to Bret at that time, but it also hurts Bret's baby face push if he goes over Hogan then too.

I still remember that feud with Lawler. I can't remember what Hulk was doing on the main event scene at that time. That's how good Bret was.

Imagine doing whatever you can to keep a wrestler from going to the enemy and he still does it.

I was a fan back in Bret’s day and I got to admit he wasn’t my favourite at the time but looking back he definitely put on some of the best matches I’ve ever seen

30 years of bitterness. Love it!!

The fact that Brett didn’t want to mess up the title change to Yokozuna is absolutely amazing. Brett Hart is the best! Hogan is a legend and must be respected for what he has done but hogan has done some shaaaaady shit aha

Bret Hart had me dying with laughter!! I love his dry sense of humor and his cynical side. I was cracking up especially when he said he was in the kitchen and got excited over news he got on the phone and then Vince said “ There’s only one problem.” I think we all knew where that was going!!😂 Also when he found out he was going to wrestle Lawler and he was like, Come On!! real sarcastic like. Dude, that was cold!!!😅 Lawler is a wrestling legend.

People acting as if it's Hogan booking the show, if Vince really believed Bret was the guy it doesn't matter what Hogan thinks. Vince had changes of heart about Bret several times the most famous of which when he signed him to a massive contract and then realized he didn't want to pay him that much cash anymore, which launched the whole debacle with him leaving the WWF and the screwjob. And part of the reason this happened was because Vince really thought highly of Bret as a reliable, loyal worker and WANTED him to be the guy, but this didn't reflect in the ratings because Bret just wasn't that much of a character on screen and Vince kept trying to both keep pushing Bret but at the same time keep his edge over Turner where guys like MIchaels and Hogan were better than Bret. Bret was such a mark that he thought that just because he was getting pops in the arenas that meant that he must be as over as Hogan, when in fact freaking Scotty 2 Hotty got pops on Smackdown, but he wasn't the guy drawing money, these are completely different concepts and Bret never accepted that. Also it's entirely possible that it really was Vince that backtracked and then pinned it on Hogan, Vince is known to stir the pot with bullshit like that, not saying it wasn't Hogan, but it's a possibility

I have a ton of respect for Bret. I just wish he wasn't so bitter towards pretty much anyone you bring up to him. It's really kind of sad.

Simple as this, Bret was lied to about the promotion that management gave him. They took it away from him and gave it to one of their favorites. Just like the real world. The hard worker gets shafted while their favorites get all the breaks. Such is life
