Bret Hart is making it clear while Hulk Hogans legacy in wrestling is undeniable, his personal dealings with The Hitman left a lasting sting.
Speaking on The Ringer Wrestling Podcast, Hart acknowledged Hogans role in shaping the wrestling industry but accused him of never helping others rise to the top.
Hart contrasted Hogans approach with stars like Roddy Piper, who he says helped elevate his own popularity. He recalled expecting Hogan to congratulate him when he won the WWE Championship in 1992 but instead, he says Hogan immediately saw him as competition.
Hart even likened Hogan to certain types of people from his school days.
The former champion claims Hogan actively stood in his way, especially during their time together in WCW in the late 1990s.
Hogan passed away last month at 71 from cardiac arrest, sparking tributes from across the industry though Harts words are a reminder that not everyone in wrestling shared a warm history with the WWE icon.
