A WWE Hall of Famer believes Bret Hart is misunderstood by most of the fans of wrestling.
During the latest episode of the Kliq This podcast (via WrestlingNews.co), WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash spoke about Hart. Nash said that Bret is largely misunderstood by fans. He went on to say that they don’t understand how important he was during WWE’s then transitional period.
“People weren’t there. Then, Bret was our guy,” Kevin Nash said. “Like, when Hogan left, man, Bret was our… he was the guy that kind of carried the company until Vince could kind of put the pieces in place. But, you know, like, Bret was super over, and he was just, you know, he was a good champion. He would sign… we’d be drunk before the bus left the building in Europe, because he’d go out there and sign every fucking fan’s program”.
Nash went on to explain that Bret Hart was misunderstood for one simple reason. To Hart, wrestling was a business and something he was passionate about.
“Bret’s always going to be misunderstood, because Bret took it as a business, but he also loved it. It was his family’s. It was a passion in his family,” Nash stated, contrasting it with his own entry into the industry. “I didn’t appreciate the business until I got in the business. Then I realized, holy fuck… making it look like you kill somebody and not touching them is an art form, and Bret was… an amazing worker.”
