Bret Hart set off a firestorm this week when he claimed on the Johnny I Pro Show that Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels were lovers during their run together in WWE. The WWE Hall of Famer didnt hold back, stating he got caught between two lovers during the Montreal Screwjob and strongly implied Michaels slept with McMahon out of jealousy. But now, Jim Ross is weighing inand hes not buying it.
Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, the legendary commentator and former WWE executive dismissed Bret Harts comments entirely. Ross, who was involved behind the scenes during the Montreal Screwjob, found the accusation absurd and said Hart was simply stirring the pot.
When asked directly whether he believed there was any truth to the claim, Ross was even more blunt.
Ross confirmed Brets comments are effective at keeping his name in the conversation, but said theres no way Vince McMahon will take the accusations lightlyat least not privately.
Despite the comments, Ross pushed back on the idea that Bret Hart is bitter, pointing out that The Hitman is doing well and has moved on from most of his wrestling wounds.
The Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels saga may have started in the 1990s, but clearly, the tension still exists in some formand JR just made it clear who he thinks is keeping it alive.
