Little needs to be said about the polarizing stature of Hulk Hogan. While the 71-year-old is currently having his ex-wife and daughter beefing, he’s unfazed. One of Hogan’s wrestling contemporaries, Bret Hart, recently disclosed the most truthful thing he’s ever said. The Hitman was a guest on Ariel Helwani‘s show.
Hart recalled Hogan’s comments about him from a while ago, where the latter took offense with Bret’s mindset of painting himself as the greatest wrestler of all time. The 67-year-old quipped that was Hulk being the most truthful in his life. The Excellence of Execution underscored how one doesn’t see today’s generation of wrestlers imitating someone like The Hulkster or The Ultimate Warrior, for that matter.
However, they do try their best to inculcate the nuances of Hart into their in-ring repertoire. That, to the Canuck, is the biggest compliment he can think of getting from the new crop of talent. Prior to revealing the most truthful Hogan’s ever been, show host Helwani played a clip from Roots of Fight where CM Punk could be seen talking about his hero, Hart.
The Best in the World, sporting his Bret Hart merch, claimed that The Hitman is the Wayne Gretzky of professional wrestling. Punk called him the best WWE Champion of all time and one of the few men he’s idolized in this business, including the late Roddy Piper. The Best in the World said he would never come close to the wrestler Bret was. Punk also described The Heartthrob as a measuring stick every pro wrestler should hold themselves to.
Why does Bret Hart dislike Hulk Hogan?
Back in June 2023, The Hulkster made an appearance on the Full Send podcast. Hogan named Bret Hart in return when asked if he didn’t get along with any of his coworkers. Setting a prelude for it, Sterling Golden narrated the incident that evoked the rift between the two.
In 1993, at WrestleMania IX, Bret lost the WWE title to Yokozuna after the latter’s manager, Mr. Fuji, threw salt at Hart, who had Yokozuna locked in a sharpshooter. After winning the gold, The Great Kokina was confronted by Hulk Hogan. He first checked on Hart before challenging Yokozuna for the championship.
Fuji inadvertently cost his client the title, resulting in Yokozuna’s loss to Hogan. The Immortal One disclosed in the aforementioned interview that The Hitman got into his face backstage after the event. Hart was under the impression that Hogan would eventually drop the WWE Championship to him at some point.
However, Hogan, who was allegedly told he’d put Yokozuna over later, denied Bret what he was asking of him. They went to Vince McMahon‘s office to clear up the air. The then-WWE CEO told Hart that he was misinformed and wasn’t supposed to beat Hogan for the coveted prize. Since that moment, The Excellence of Execution has harbored an ill will for Hulk, claimed the latter himself. Hogan said that Bret thinks he’s responsible for sabotaging his career.
Is Hulk Hogan behind disintegrating his own family?
The family drama concerning Hulk Hogan, as alluded to above, has taken a drastic turn. The WWE Hall of Famer’s ex, Linda, has pulled back on her own badmouthing of Hogan. She initially held the retired wrestler responsible for the disintegration of their family-of-four. In a later admission to TMZ, she passed the buck to her daughter, Brooke.
Deeming Hulk a great father, Linda said Brooke will face the repercussions of ditching her own parents. The former VH1 star then revealed her side of the story, claiming she was abused as a child and doesn’t want to do anything with her mom and dad anymore.
Brooke also disputed Linda’s allegations of her daughter being a habitual drunkard. Brooke’s husband, Steven Oleksy, has been an unremitting support for his better half in a time when her own mother is unloading on her. But what’s Hulk’s reaction to all of this? Eating popcorn with his wife, Sky Daily, and nothing more.
