In recent years, Bret Hart has attacked Hulk Hogan for a number of reasons; notably for his inability to maintain and progress a wrestling company. In the above interview, Hart claimed that Hogan along with Eric Bischoff have zero to offer the business and only know how to benefit themselves. He followed these comments by mocking Hulk Hogans inability to wrestle claiming he only knows how to cup his ear with his hand and do a leg drop. Tension between the pair dates back as far as 1993, when according to Hart, Hogan refused to pass the torch on to him in a match scheduled to take place at SummerSlam. Hogans stay with the WWE was coming to an end, we had seen Hulkamania running wild for close to ten years, and it was seemingly time for a change. But, instead of the rumoured clash between Hogan and Hart, Hulk dropped the belt to Yokozuna at an earlier PPV and subsequently left The Hitman with an alternative opponent. Bret has always blamed Hogans ego for the switch, however Hogan has claimed the change was down to Vince McMahon suddenly having cold feet about making Hart his new number one guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEmyKbCqTPk Whilst on the Manchester stop of his recent UK tour, a highly emotional Hart reflected on an occurrence that still clearly bothered him a great deal. The story of a video he saw of Hogan bashing him and claiming that, he was never somebody that any of the other wrestlers could trust, it was so hard for him to talk about, that he had to have regular intervals to prevent him from getting overpowered by his emotions.
