Ric Flair On Bret Hart Being “Bitter” And “Lonely”

Bret Hart certainly isn’t shy when it comes to telling the world what he thinks about certain talents, and in the past he’s criticized names such as Triple H and Seth Rollins to name a few.

Two time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was recently a special guest on the My World podcast, and while speaking about Bret Hart he called the former WWE Champion “bitter” and “lonely.”

“What I do wanna do is be able to walk into the building and not have people say, ‘God, he’s bitter, he’s old, and he’s gonna continue to knock people,’” Flair said. “I couldn’t live like that. And calling Roman Reigns the next Triple H or cracking on him… I mean, how uncomfortable is that for people in the family to walk around in front of Hunter [Triple H]? And Shawn [Michaels], who is an integral part of the company. NXT, that’s part of the company, right? What else? Jerry Lawler… ‘Jerry Lawler hit me with a chair too hard.’ Wow, okay… I don’t understand it. I don’t ever wanna be that lonely.”

Flair went on to talk about Hart’s previous comments about Eric Bischoff, and Flair claimed that he recently spoke to Bischoff about Bret Hart.

“I don’t know what happened there [Hart’s problem with Bischoff], and now he’s blaming Eric for everything. Eric made him rich. I don’t know how you blame Eric. I was talking to Eric the other day. I said, ‘It’s the flavor of the week. He’s mad at Goldberg one week, mad at me the next, something I didn’t do, I was repetitive.’ Well, you wrestle an hour every night 280 times [a year], which he wouldn’t know nothing about, and you’re gonna get slammed off the top, that’s called taking a bump. How many press slams did you take, Bret? None.”
