Bret Hart isn’t holding back how he feels about the in-ring work of one of WWE’s top superstars.
WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was a recent guest on The Masked Man Show. While talking about today’s style of in-ring wrestling, Hart targeted former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, calling his in-ring style bullshit and lazy shit wrestling for hurting people in his matches.
“I don’t want to sound like I’m tooting my own horn all the time, but the best wrestling has to pretend to be real,” Bret Hart said. “I mean, that’s what I did, I tried to make it as real as I could. Contrary to that GUNTHER guy — I hate wrestlers that hurt each other on purpose. I hate it when you’re out there getting beat up and hurt by a guy for real — They [Chops] look like shit.
“They make a big slap sound. But they hurt — It’s not supposed to be real. Like I’m not supposed to really wake up with a really sore chest the next day. So I have no respect for guys that hurt each other all the time. And it’s just to me, lazy shit wrestling when guys like GUNTHER, and I’ve told him this to his face, it’s bullshit. Like when you’re hurting somebody for real, you’re unprofessional. And I wrestle guys, never hurt anybody.” [H/T: Wrestle Ops]
