Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart is not happy with the current booking of WWE and WrestleMania 32. In a recent interview with Total Wrestling, Bret Hart rips into a wide variety of topics. From the booking of Roman Reigns, to the match card itself, the WWE didn’t pull any punches. Here were some of the highlights:
On the way Roman Reigns had been booked leading into WrestleMania:
“It seems to be this whole idea of force feeding the fans with him until they’ll eventually enjoy the taste, but it’s not working they keep presenting him the wrong way and it’s a shame because he is a better talent than that.”
On How this years WrestleMania Card is focused on the McMahon family:
“This Wrestlemania is suffering from a huge case of nepotism. You have Shane McMahon son of the boss taking on the Undertaker in the cell. Vince’s son gets the main event in the biggest show of the year, Vince’s son in law gets the semi or joint main event whatever way you want to look at it at the biggest show of the year, Stephanie will walk him out. I’m actually surprised they don’t have Linda McMahon in the Divas title match!”
On how the WWE is focusing on part-time stars instead of the guys on the road every week:
“Then you have guys like Undertaker and Brock Lesnar who only wrestle a few times a year featuring prominently on the card while guys like Cody Rhodes, the guys who are on the road every day slogging it out, toughing it out, getting injured essentially pulling the wagon, those guys get tucked away in a multi-man match at the bottom of the card or pre show. They’ll get some chump change for a pay-off and it makes me think that this wrestling business isn’t about the wrestlers anymore, it’s about all the bullshit”.
If he will watch this years WrestleMania:
“I’m just being honest and I have to say that this year’s Wrestlemania card is the worst Wrestlemania card in history. I won’t be watching it, I couldn’t care less about it. The characters mean nothing, the titles mean nothing. I’m embarrassed by it.”
Seems like another bitter old wrestler. . . I bet he believe that the “best” wrestling was the era in which he was in. As far as the McMahons being into Wrestlemania. . well they had no choice. Rumours were John Cena was gonna battle Undertaker thus being, No Shane O Mac. . . But injuries were heavy this yr and they had to do what they had to do.
I do agree w what he said regarding the wrestlers touring all yr and not getting to shine on Wrestlemania. Its a shame.
Lol at Linda McMahon bein in the Divas match.
. . . other than that, just another bitter old man who IS going to watch wrestlemania.
I agree with bret i am only likely to watch because it’s mania so just out of habit but if it keeps going this way there will surely be a year where i switch off. Wwe fanboys make me laugh though how if some on speaks up about the awful product wwe put out they are bitter lol. Bret is far from bitter. I like how bret speaks his mind. All the points he made are all true and wwe fanboys won’t like them but wwe fanboys should not be so blind. They should be on brets side here because he only wants them to be better and so should you fanboys.
