Flair dedicated several pages of his autobiography to bashing Bret Hart; even going as far as to indicate that The Hitman selfishly exploited the tragic death of his younger brother, Owen, for his own personal gain. Now whether The Nature Boy had a legitimate reason for believing this to be true or not, it is difficult to look beyond how insensitive those particularly comments truly were and the hurt that they could have caused a variety of people. A furious Bret Hart responded to the accusations on his own website, brethart.com, stating Frankly, this is such a low class blow that it is even beneath him! If he wanted to take a pot at me as a wrestler thats bad enough, but it is reprehensible that he would judge me for the way I handled myself in the after math of my brothers death. Flair has also frequently claimed that Hart could never draw any money as a wrestler, which is again highly debatable. Yes, the company were in financial freefall at the time Bret Hart was their poster boy, but Hogans departure and the steroid scandal also had a heavy impact on the companys viewership. The Hitman laughed the comment off as being just plain ridiculous.
