10 Most Revealing Wrestling Shoot Interviews

7. The Hitman Assassinates Triple H

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSNJX1aBDSw Bret €˜The Hitman€™ Hart isn€™t one of the world€™s most well-adjusted retired professional wrestlers. Admittedly, being forcibly retired near the peak of your game by a career-ending concussion and then suffering a stroke to cap it off isn€™t the way we€™d like our careers to end either. Whatever the reason, Hart takes wrestling very, very seriously, and especially his role in the history of the business€ and he is not a fan of Paul €˜Triple H€™ Levesque. This clip from his WrestleTalk TV interview of early 2013 has him, in measured, calculating style, slowly dissecting Triple H€™s wrestling credentials. It€™s the interview that begat the €˜4/10€™ meme, where Hart famously labels Levesque€™s final Wrestlemania match with the Undertaker as a predictable 4/10 effort, and claims that he called the majority of the match before it even began. Hart puts CM Punk over as an innovator, but not Triple H, saying over and over €œWhat has he ever really done?€ and claiming that he€™s never had a great match, and probably never will. We€™re not sure we entirely agree with his assessment here, especially when he refers to inventing moves: Punk€™s a fantastic wrestler, but he owes a lot to KENTA, as many do. Is The Hitman not a follower of Japanese wrestling?
