WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently sat down with Sports Illustrated for an ‘Extra Mustard’ feature they are calling his “State of the WWE” address.
During the piece, the “Hitman” praised World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
“I know I got really excited about wrestling again after watching CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, but now neither one of those guys is around, and Seth Rollins is going to carry the company. His timing is impeccable and he does a lot of challenging, creative, complex stuff.”
In a pretty controversial statement, Hart actually claimed that Daniel Bryan’s career was “finished”.
“He’ll never wrestle again. I don’t think he knows it yet. I feel terrible about Daniel Bryan. For all intents and purposes, he had the exact same thing happen to him that happened to me after Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head [ending Hart’s career]. One day, you learn it’s over. Doctors tell you that you can’t wrestle and you’ll never wrestle again. I lost millions of dollars because of that. I pray that it’s not the same for Daniel Bryan.”
Bret also had a lot of good things to say about Roman Reigns, who he feels lost a lot of momentum with the WWE trying to manufacture something that wasn’t there heading into WrestleMania 31, as well as Cody Rhodes, Goldust, and a lot more. Check out the full interview now at SI.com.
