Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart Calls Hulk Hogan A ‘Phony Piece Of Shit,’ Talks Racism In Wrestling

Bret Hart recently held an open forum Q&A via TSN’s Periscope account answering questions ranging from his thoughts on the current state of wrestling to his favorite hockey team to his view on the Hulk Hogan debacle.

One giant takeaway from the 16 minute Q&A: Brett Hart HATES Hulk Hogan more than you’ve ever hated anything.

When asked whether or not he believes Hulk Hogan will ever be back in the WWE, Hart responded quickly and confidently.

“Let’s hope not. Let’s really hope that he lives with himself in Tampa and stays there in his little world in idol worship of himself. I’m not a big Hulk Hogan fan. I kind of feel bad for him because I don’t necessarily remember him being a racist, but ya know, I can say that through my experience that the vast majority, of course not all of them, but the vast majority of the white Southern wrestlers tend to be a little bit racial all the time and the N-word was frequently used in the dressing room when a black guy wasn’t around. As being a Canadian, I found that really difficult, I didn’t see eye-to-eye with that kind of stuff, and I’ve never felt like that and I’ve never been in that kind of mindset.

Was he glad the Hulkster got busted? Ah, ya.

I’m kind of glad he got busted for that reason that times have changed and you have to answer for that stuff, and he’s answering for it. He’s probably glad that Roddy Piper passed away because it took all the edge off all that.

DAMN.

The Hitman threw one last haymaker at the Hulk before signing off.

“Do I like Hulk Hogan? No I don’t. I think he’s a phony piece of shit.”

Check out the entire 16 minute Q&A session below, it’s fascinating even if you’re not a wrestling fan.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
