Bret Hart has recently been critical of a number of people including Seth Rollins, Triple H and the Fabulous Freebirds. As a result of some of his comments (and sometimes brutal honesty), he has been labelled as bitter and out of touch by some. Bret took to Facebook to apologize to some of the people that he critiqued over the past little while.
Here is what Bret posted on his Facebook page:
“I’d like to take this opportunity to formally apologize to Michael Hayes. A while back I made comments about the Freebirds not being as worthy of being in the WWE Hall of Fame as others. It was unfair for me to dismiss their contributions to the industry and they certainly did great things in Texas with the Von Erich Family. Michael Hayes always treated me with great respect, as did Terry Gordy, Ronnie Garvin and Buddy Roberts and I’m sorry if I disrespected any of them with my comments. Furthermore I apologize to both Triple H and Seth Rollins for any hurtful comments I made on my podcast. The reality of all this is the reason I quit doing podcasts in general, because they’re for the most part an outlet for negativity, and have left me with a reputation as being angry and bitter. I’m not, I’d spoke candidly and openly but it’s no excuse for minimizing other wrestlers or their contributions. In saying all that, I still believe Jim the Anvil Neidhart of the Hart Foundation, including Owen, Brian Pillman, Davey Boy Smith, The Dynamite Kid, Jimmy Hart, The Rougeau Brothers, The Killer Bees, The Demolition, Rick Rude, King Kong Bundy, and One Man Gang all deserve their place in the WWE Hall of Fame. My apologies to all. Bret Hart x” (Source: Bret Hart’s Facebook).
Takes a big man to apologize. Funny enough, a couple hours before he posted this, I compiled a list of 10 times Bret was brutally honest, which you can read below.

I liked his podcasts… but I wasn’t aware he quit his show. I just figured he had a deal where he would do them when he had something to say.
