WWE: 10 Real Life Wrestling Rivalries

10. Ric Flair vs Bret Hart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44A2oDGO4A These two WWE Hall of Famers have been locked in an ongoing war of words for a long time. I'm pretty sure they actually came to real life blows at one point too! In various interviews and books, they have launched vicious insults against each other. Bret Hart famously referred to Flair as the most overrated wrestler in the history of the business. I'm not sure that many wrestling fans would agree with that. I think that was just Bret being Bret. He is too intelligent a worker to really believe that. Nonetheless, Flair once famously responded by asking "Who is Bret Hart? I wrestled everybody in the business, for an hour each night. Harley Race, Dory Funk, Jack and Jerry Brisco, who is Bret Hart?". He then described him as "a legend in his own mind". It was apparently Flair who started it when he called Hart "bitter" in his book, which ruffled many feathers in the industry. I have to say this definitely holds true to an extent. I mean, the guy has been through a lot but he really does hold too many grudges. Two of the very best in-ring performers in history hate each other. That leaves us with one question. Are you on Team Bret or Team Ric?
