According to The Hitman, the Hulkster had previously appreciated the Hart family’s work and told him how he was a big fan of their work. “The day that I won the title, I guess I was no longer Hulk’s friend anymore,” reminisced Hart. Moreover, The Excellence of Execution explained the first time he encountered the Face of the Company after he won the championship.

“He was standing against the wall, talking to Brutus Beefcase, and I walked up to him, saying, ‘Hey Terry!’. I came to shake his hand, and he had his arms crossed, and he wouldn’t even shake my hand. So I just remember standing there with my hand out for about 20 seconds, and I just walked, and I was like, ‘Fu*k him’ “ detailed Bret Hart. The 66-year-old claimed that Hogan always thought of other wrestlers as inferior to him.
