In Bret's defense:
1) He still feels the physical effects of that kick now.
2) Bret was passionate about Wrestling, worked his entire life in wrestling and to have such a botch end your career is devastating.
3) I think Owen's death also sours his love for wrestling.
4) Montreal screwjob, putting up with Michaels WWF then Hogan/Bischoff in WCW.
5) MONEY. Brett just signed a multi-million dollar deal too. Didnt even see half of it.

Why are people surprised hes bitter?

Maybe, just maybe, Brett Hart has a sorta love/hate relationship with wrestling because his brother died for the business. Maybe, that has something to do with it.

@TheMajorTarhai 2 years ago

Besides his brother dying over wrestling, his career was defined by two things. Getting screwed over by Vince McMahon in a monumental way and then getting retired by a guy who was green as fuck and careless as fuck.

I’m from Calgary and I’ll never forget listening to a radio talk show in about 2001 that had Diana Hart on promoting her new book. Bret called into the show and the 2 of them got into a huge argument live on the air. It was actually quite sad. You can tell Bret is carrying a lot of sadness with him: all of his close friends are dead. He’s literally the only one left. That’s gotta be tough

BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ASKING HIM ABOUT THE NEGATIVE THINGS. He wouldnt bring it up if people didnt ask.

@patrickconnelly8053 2 years ago

Why didn't you simply invite him to the show for a direct conversation to address your questions and concerns?

@00DeadZ 2 years ago (edited)

His brother died in ring .
All his friends died young .
A legendary run ended on injury
Screw job in wwf
Stroke
The stroke probably changed his 🧠 chemistry

I mean bret hasnt had it easy in alot of ways to be fair 😂

@LovestoneArt 2 years ago

He's been more forgiving and happier in recent years. We have to remember in the late 90s he experienced the screw job, lost his brother, and then lost his career within a few short years back to back. Thats a lot for anyone. That is not even counting losing Pillman, Davy Boy, and his parents.

@ArtVandelay-c8l 2 years ago

His Brother died on ppv.
His entire Hart Foundation crew is dead.
Got screwed on a major ppv.
His career got buried and forgotten for almost 10 years.
And some green rookie kicks his head off and costs him a 9 million dollar contract

@ajones35 2 years ago (edited)

People are not really in position to demand forgiveness from him. Especially when people like Vince McMahon to Triple H have yet to really acknowledge what they did was wrong

And getting injured was one thing. But trying to rehab his character and end up derailed cuts deep.

Easy for Al Snow to say as if he wanted to have a match he could.

I like these guys but the whole “too negative” generality is asinine. No better than: hater! If he feels negative overall… or if we tend to focus on his negative statements - so what? It’s human emotional bias that makes us think we all should be “positive” about everything. If somebody is negative OR positive about anything, I don’t care… I’m going to analyze their individual points and see if each is valid. For the most part, I think most of Bret’s are.

…and when Al says: Bret is full of himself for being negative AND he feels bad for Bret …. Al doesn’t get that he’s the one full of himself. You think because Bret is negative in many ways towards wrestling that it means he has a terrible life overall? News flash: lots of us have a negative view of the jobs/career we have/had overall… doesn’t mean our life overall sucks. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@zakeryperez5712 2 years ago

Is he being negative or realistic?

@richardeicholtz4868 2 years ago (edited)

Think of how his career ended. Montreal, the WCW run not going as planned, his brother, other family members & friends dying (only one from attitude era Hart Foundation still alive), his career is ending prematurely and all the health issues that followed the injury (stroke). When you consider all of that being intercontinental champion in the 90s seems pretty insignificant.

Everyone deals with things differently. His health issues may play a part on his demeanor now. Who knows? It's been said that he took things very serious. So something that seems inconsequential to someone else could be huge to him. He's accomplished a lot and has a lot to be thankful for but he'd probably trade everything to get the stuff he lost back.

I mean, first he was pushed out of the job that he loved in WWF after signing a huge 20 year contract. He was betrayed by the people he trusted and loved (Vince, Pat, Earl) then his brother dies in that company as the result of an on the job act. Then he goes to WCW, where he never wanted to go, they don't capitalize on his star power, then he gets kicked so hard in the head it basically ended his run.....yeah, I wonder why he's bitter.

@jumpingalaxies951 2 years ago (edited)

He hates you for gleefully booking the Blue Blazer, booking him to wrestle after the Starrcade concussion, including in a cage against an old and dangerous Jimmy Snuka (I think), and in a hardcore match against Terry Funk.
