Bret Hart sat down with Forbes.com for a recent interview and was asked about
being in the WWE Hall of Fame. He told them: “I’m never going to take anything
away from any of the inductees that they’ve had. But to me, the HOF this year I
have a voice of protests as sort of a legendary figure of the industry. I am
embarrassed that there are so many great wrestlers out there that have never
been given their credit. Never got their due.” He believes that Ric Rude, the
Fabulous Rougeaus, Demolition and the Hart Foundation should be in it right now
and isn’t a fan of the Freebirds being in: “Why have they been overlooked when
you can induct the Freebirds who never did squat in WWE? Ever. Never drew any
money, never did anything. When I remember the Freebirds, they were all drunk
and passed out at the gate at one of the airports in my first day in WWF. None
of them even made the show that day; they were too drunk to make their plane.
I’ve always gotten along with Michael Hayes, but as far as their contribution to
wrestling, give me a break. They were all pill heads and, for lack of a better
word, they were all screw-ups. They’re not picking the cream of the crop,
they’re picking whoever the first person they see on the list and they go ‘he
would be easy to fly in.'” Bret also wants Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame but his
wife Martha is still against the idea. |
