Bret Hart Talks Daniel Bryan, Relationship with Goldberg and More

During the recent Legends of Wrestling Night at Marlins Park, the home of Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins, Bret Hart was in attendance. Following the event, “The Hitman” answered some questions from the media.

Hart was asked about his relationship with former WCW and WWE superstar Goldberg:

“I’ve always had a lot of respect for Bill. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. I do wish he had been a little bit more careful, but we’ve always been friends through the years.”

Hart also discussed tag team wrestling and Vince McMahon’s thoughts on it:

“It’s my understanding that Vince McMahon himself doesn’t like tag team wrestling. He’s grown bored with it or is tired with it and doesn’t like it anymore. It’s a real shame they don’t do more to build the tag team divisions in wrestling.”

Asked about paving the way for wrestlers like Daniel Bryan, Hart stated the following:

“I’ll say this much. I think if you watch the wrestlers of today, you know they weren’t watching Hulk Hogan. They were watching Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Wrestling has gone in the right direction as far as being about the wrestling.”

“There are some great innovators that are coming up with new moves. When I retired from wrestling, I felt that everything had been done. I couldn’t come up with a lot of new scenarios or new moves, even though I did come up with a new one all the time. In watching the wrestlers of today, I’m very impressed with how many of them can come up with new moves and new ideas.”
