Next Sunday, Bret Hart will return to WWE at “Payback” to support his niece, Natalya at ringside as she challenges Charlotte and her father Ric Flair for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Recently, The Hitman spoke with portsmouth.co.uk to promote his one-man show at The Pyramids in Southsea tomorrow night. Here are the highlights.
You can read the full interview right here. Below is what Bret Hart thinks of today’s wrestling style and who he’d like to wrestle from today’s era:
What does he think of today’s wrestling style?
“I think that the wrestlers today are very skilled, and a lot of them are really great, gifted wrestlers, like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and even Kevin Owens. I tip my hat to them. I enjoy watching them, they’re special talents and they carry that torch to the next generation.
There’s a lot of those wrestlers who’ve had a big impact since I left. I’d like to have worked with CM Punk or Brock Lesnar, but I find that there’s something missing in wrestling that was more prevalent in my era. I think the actual storytelling was better.
I could allow a story to unfold or not be rushed.?‘There’s no drama anymore, it’s just like bing, bing, bing, bing. They’re too busy setting up the next moves and it seems very rehearsed like the whole match is rehearsed. I miss the natural flow in my matches.”
