It’s no secret that WWE Hall Of Famer Bret Hart has never been afraid to voice his true thoughts on the present state of the wrestling business or criticize those that he’s worked with throughout his profession. Whether it’s taking shots at WCW icon Goldberg, complaining about Hulk Hogan being selfish, or having been displeased with WWE’s product today, Hart isn’t any stranger to generating controversy, and through a recent sit-down interview in Montreal, Canada, “The Hitman” didn’t hold back.
Speaking on the “Johnny I Pro Show,” Hart explained why he finds it difficult to look at skilled wrestling today, and slammed a WWE veteran for the way he delivers punches within the ring.
“I will be honest, I actually have a tough time watching today’s wrestling. I simply can’t really watch it. It’s too fake for me. I love watching the old 90s wrestling. I actually do. Once I watch my matches back or simply in almost any match, even obscure Stampede Wrestling matches, there’s something concerning the realism. The punches and the kicks … I believe that today’s wrestlers are actors. Most of them are actors pretending to be wrestlers,” Hart claimed. “Who’s that Irish guy? Sheamus … I see him, I’m like, why don’t you are taking 10 minutes and go down and have someone teach you find out how to throw a punch as an alternative of throwing that embarrassment of a punch?”
Hart continued by referring to his match with The Hart Foundation against The Nasty Boys at WrestleMania 7, explaining that the punches he delivered to Jerry Sags looked real and is an incredible example of find out how to engage in combat without legitimately hurting an opponent.
