WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart is known for his bold opinions and is never afraid to tell it as it is. His troubled relationship with Hulk Hogan is well-known, and now, he’s gone after Hogan once again.

While speaking to Ariel Helwani, Bret Hart mentioned hearing Hulk Hogan claim that the problem with Bret Hart was that he truly believed he was the greatest wrestler of all time. After thinking about it, Hart agreed, saying that might be the most truthful thing Hogan has ever said.

“I heard something a few months ago where Hulk Hogan was talking about me. He said the problem with Bret Hart is that he really does think he was the greatest wrestler of all time. And I remember thinking about that and going, yeah, maybe that might be the most truthful thing he’s ever said.

Bret Hart went on to say that no one is trying to imitate Hulk Hogan or Ultimate Warrior. Instead, many wrestlers today are trying to copy his style or the styles of people he worked with, like Dynamite Kid, Curt Hennig, and his brother Owen. He added that this is the biggest compliment he could receive from the current generation of wrestlers.

“You don’t see anybody imitating Hulk Hogan or Ultimate Warrior. You see a lot of the wrestlers today really trying their best to capture my style—or some of the guys I worked with, like Dynamite Kid, Kurt Hennig, and my brother Owen. That’s the biggest compliment I can get from today’s generation.”

Bret Hart’s legacy is based on his skill in the ring and the way he told stories during his matches. The fact that modern wrestlers are trying to copy his style shows how much he has influenced the wrestling world.

While Hulk Hogan was a larger-than-life character, it’s clear that Hart’s impact is still felt today, especially in wrestling that focuses on technical moves, storytelling, and being real in the ring.
