WWE Hall Of Famer Bret Hart is without a doubt one of the best technical pro wrestlers the pro wrestling industry has ever seen. He is also a controversial wrestler whose views haven’t always been seen in the best of ways.
Despite all his controversy, Bret Hart’s influence on the pro wrestling industry is continued to be felt throughout the pro wrestling world. During the mid-90s he was at the height of his popularity as well.
Fans are more than aware of the pure disdain Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels had for each other. It further increased after the Montreal Screwjob. However, they finally mended fences many years later.
While speaking on this week’s DDP Snake Pit podcast, Jake Roberts talked about Rick Rude leaving NWA to join the WWF while being one-half of the NWA World Tag Champions. He added that Bret Hart deserved the Montreal Screwjob.
“I don’t agree with that [leaving as Champion] at all. You know, there’s been so many guys who get away with it too. Holding up promoters because they don’t want to lose the title in a certain area. Maybe Canada, has that ever happened? Oh wait, it did. Shawn and Bret. He didn’t want to drop it in Canada, so they [Vince McMahon and others] screwed him.
“You didn’t get screwed a**hole! You got what you deserved. How do you have the right, not to drop that title? That title, that was given to you. You did not beat up anybody to get that.
“You didn’t get screwed a**hole! You got what you deserved.”
“The reason you have that title is because some other schmuck was a good enough guy to lose to you [The Undertaker at Summerslam 1997.] So you not dropping that title tells me you don’t give a flying f*ck about anybody else but yourself, and that’s very selfish. It’s wrong and if you are contemplating doing it, that’s for you.”
Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels are on much better terms now, even if it took them far longer than anyone would have expected.
