WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart has never shied away from sharing his honest opinions about wrestling and those he’s worked with. Known for his candidness, Hart has openly criticized figures like Goldberg and Hulk Hogan and expressed dissatisfaction with WWE’s current production quality. In a recent interview in Montreal on “The Johnny I Pro Show,” Hart voiced his struggle to enjoy modern wrestling, calling it overly fake and filled with wrestlers who are more actors than athletes. He specifically called out WWE star Sheamus, suggesting he needs proper training to throw punches that don’t look embarrassing. Hart recalled a WrestleMania VII match between the Hart Foundation and the Nasty Boys, highlighting how a punch he delivered to Jerry Suggs appeared authentic without actually hurting him, showcasing a more realistic style of in-ring performance.
Fan Take: Bret Hart’s critique resonates with many long-time fans who feel today’s WWE lacks the gritty realism of the past. His remarks could spark a renewed conversation about the balance between entertainment and authenticity in wrestling, potentially influencing how future talent is trained and presented.
