Video: Bret Hart Says Ric Flair Sabotaged His Matches As Champion

[Donald Trump_]

Ric Flair and his matches with Ric in 1992 when Bret first became WWE champion: “Flair was a tricky guy to work with, when I worked with Ric. When he was champion we had much better matches and the moment the title got switched we seemed to screw up my match every night… I always felt it was sabotage. I actually went to Vince, cause (Flair) was leaving the company, I thought he was purposely screwing up to ruin my run. We finally got the agents and Flair in a room to try give a little better effort in the matches and at least follow the story line… He confessed his mind wasn’t into the matches and he was having some problems at home. We would go out after the big talk and have the same screwed up match as we had the night before. I think over a period of time over the next few weeks I can remember Vince coming up to me saying he didn’t think Ric Flair was doing it on purpose – that he just didn’t know hat he was doing. I kind of agreed after a while. Ric Flair, as great was and a hard worker as he was, he just tends to get lost in the ring.”

Bret Hart’s opinion on why his first WWE championship win came at a live event in Saskatoon and not on TV or PPV: ?”I think it must have been some kind of condition agreed to by Vince and Flair. I can’t imagine Flair saying that he didn’t want to lose on T.V or something like that- maybe it was something like that. I know Flair, upon dropping the title, gave Vince news that he was leaving and going back to WCW, at the time. So, I think it was all amicable. Vince was like probably happy to get rid of him- I think.”

Hart is at the stage of his life, imo, where he just can't stop bitching about the past and putting finger in everybody. Gee man, get a life.

I remember him vaguely from the my first Wrestlemania. It's a shame he seems so bitter, now. I hope he may finds peace and is willing to forgive where wrestling has wronged

Exactly. Destroying his name by complaining to everyone that he should have been much bigger, but it was never his fault. He was an amazing wrestler, and now he is just hard to listen to. One of a ton of links on this forums to old-timers complaining about the past instead of speaking on anything positive, ever.

True, Hart is always complaining about those things. No point in complaining about something that happened in 1992.

It's not just Hart, this seems to be what most old wrestlers do. Your good pal Steiner obviously comes to mind.

I never said Steiner wasn't bitter. He IS bitter. But at least he's somewhat constructive (altough not coherent all the time) and has a pick on certain people, that people being Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff and their family, nobody else. He hates them, thinks they're bad for TNA and he sticks to his thing.

But Hart man...:facepalm1: He rages on everybody without saying a damn word positive, from Hogan, Flair, Vince, HBK, this guy, that guy etc etc. Every interview I recently read about him was one thing: complaining about the past and who screwed him over and stole his ideas.

GTFO brother.

Bret Hart has always complained about the past. He also has quite the ego about himself, thinking he is honestly a bigger deal than he ever was (sorry, but it's true.)

Bret also said this :

"I beat Steve Austin every time I worked with him throughout my career and yet he's graded above me, so figure that out. I could give you a list of 50 wrestlers and it would have credibility because I would have an idea but some guy that's working for WWE Magazine that makes it up, frankly, he can kiss my ass, he doesn't know anything."

He's been known to take wrestling too seriously.

Jesus that's funny.

 

[Lockard 23]

lol Bret is surely delusional. Steve Austin reached higher heights throughout his entire wrestling career than Bret ever did, that's why he's graded above you, Bret.

 

[Leo C]

So he's pissed because of a list too? Bitter old man. :dawg:

TBH I don't listen to any of this type of shit, so I wouldn't know who is worse than another. I just see the threads or stories 'X wrestler bitches about old shit' and ignore it. Ultimate warrior seems to be one of the worst ones though.

Bret's always been a total mark lol

Wrestling hasn't been kind to his family, so he should give back in return. It doesn't help being bitter, even though its tough losing loved ones. Maybe the interviewers ask him these questions and sort of egg him on. It's not okay, but its best to give back when your heart is in need of healing.

Hmm. Didn't that Benoit guy train with Bret Hart too? Ugh. I should look it up myself.
