Bret Hart on Hulk Hogan: “He was a good guy once upon a time, but in the end he was a backstabbing, knife-wielding piece of sh*t”

Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan’s conflicting accounts of their WrestleMania IX situation are explored in the Netflix docuseries Hulk Hogan: Real American. The third episode focuses on Hogan’s involvement following the main event, when he ran out to help Hart after losing the WWF Championship to Yokozuna. During that match, Yokozuna’s manager, Mr. Fuji, threw ceremonial salt into Hart’s eyes, which directly led to the title change. The episode shifts between both men’s perspectives as they reflect on how the events unfolded.

Here were the comments…

Hart: “I remember walking up to him, I was like, ‘Hey Terry.’ I stood up with my hand out to shake his hand for about 30 seconds but he wouldn’t even look at me. He just kept talking to (Brutus) Beefcake.”

Hogan: “I can’t imagine doing that intentionally. Maybe I had an off day. Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was high. I don’t know. I don’t know what to tell you, but it wouldn’t have been intentional.”

Hart: “I knew right then and there. I was like ‘I’ve got the belt and I’ve got what he wants and I’m the enemy now.’”

Hogan: “I had that Hogan stroke back then. Me and Vince (McMahon) were just bonded at the hip and I could pull the plug on certain things and certain people.”

Hart: “That day I remember thinking what a step backwards. It was a whole different audience and they were liking me, not Hulk Hogan”

Hogan: “Bret got all up in my face and he got all riled up. I said, ‘What’s up with this guy? I thought he was a team player, man.’ Vince made the decision, it’s just one of those things.”

Hart: “I said it’s going to backfire and it’s going to be really bad. ‘F*ck you’. Hulk came up with such a phoney, bullsh*t match. The kind of match that Hulk would dream up. Hogan came out like the hero. ‘Yeah, he’s my friend coming out to my rescue. Go get him Hulk. Go in there and win my belt. Win it for me’. It sucked. People would be going ‘Why did they do that to Bret Hart?’. He was a good guy once upon a time, but in the end he was a backstabbing, knife-wielding piece of sh*t.” (quotes courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
