Bret Hart Receives Support for His Bitterness Approach

Bret Hart, known for his exceptional in-ring skills, achieved the fame and recognition that any pro wrestler could aspire to. However, his career took a significant turn after the events of The Montreal Screwjob. With that said, it appears he has received support for his bitter approach to life in general now.

Bret Hart is a wrestler who has stirred controversy with his views, which haven’t always been received positively. While some might presume that Bret harbors resentment over certain aspects of his wrestling career, he has clarified that he merely articulates his opinions and acknowledges that not everyone will agree with him.

In fact, even Eric Bischoff previously called out Bret Hart for being a miserable human being due to his whining. While speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash was asked whether he thought Bret Hart was a whiner.

Nash acknowledged that Bret Hart was among the best wrestlers, though not quite on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling. He considered Bret one of the top ten wrestlers ever but felt his career was cut short. Nash noted that Bret could have made a successful return to WWE in 2002, suggesting that Bret’s career wasn’t over and that it cost him financially.

Nash also commented on Bill Goldberg, saying that while Goldberg has apologized, his physical condition—marked by pain and shoulder issues—reflects the harsh reality of the sport. Nash pointed out that Goldberg, despite not having as long a career as some, was a significant talent and had a strong presence both in wrestling and in his previous football career at the University of Georgia.

“Bret Hart is a whiner?. Bret was one of the best; easily, I’m not going to place him on the Mount Rushmore, but definitely one of the top 10 guys to ever do it. It’s like his career got cut short. He could have come back to WWE in 2002 and had a great run. He wasn’t done by any means, and it cost him a lot of money. So, if it’s… I mean, Bill said he’s sorry, but I don’t know. Bill was so strong, he would just kick right through your hand.

It’s not like Bill Goldberg is sitting in Texas not in pain from head to toe; shoulders gone. There’s nobody who makes it out alive. That’s just the way it is. The longer you go, Bill might not have been in the ring as long as a lot of other guys, but Bill had a football helmet on. It wasn’t like Bill was a scrub; Bill was a stud. You knew Bill in Georgia, right? Yeah, I knew Bill when he played for the University of Georgia. Those guys, those crazy dudes that come into the clubs in Atlanta after their games.”

Nash criticized people who tell others to “get over it,” comparing it to a situation where someone suffers severe abuse and is then expected to simply move on. He argued that those who criticize someone’s struggle often haven’t experienced similar hardships themselves.

”Bret can have whatever opinion he wants, but it’s the people who haven’t done it that say ‘get over it.’ It’s like, alright, so you’re my cellmate and the whole eight years you’re in prison with me, I just bang the dog s*** out of you, I rape you, beat you, beat the f*** out of you. You know what? When you get out of there, you just need to get the f*** over it. Everybody who has a problem with it is people who didn’t do it.”

Goldberg also believes Bret Hart needs to grow up and let go of all the animosity he has harbored over the years. Regardless, Bret Hart has a reason to be bitter and Kevin Nash simply agrees with this notion and that’s all that matters.
