Bret Hart says he takes pride on the fact that he has never injured anyone

Bret Hart is one of the all time greats of pro wrestling. He has wrestled over 2000 matches in his wrestling career. He is an inspiration to many wrestlers.

Bret Hart recently was interviewed by Max Laughton of FOX Sports Australia, where he talked about Rhea Ripley, John Cena, and more.

Bret Hart on Rhea Ripley

“I really like her a lot. I really like her poise, her staying in character and sort of living her – she seems like she’s adapted a character that’s fun to play, and she’s playing into that, full tilt. She’s putting that realism into it; that’s what I miss in a lot of wrestling today, just making it feel more real, and she makes it feel pretty real all the time.”

Bret Hart on realism in wrestling

“The best pro wrestling has to always pretend to be real, and that way it’s fun – but when you basically say it’s not real, and it’s all just a performance, it loses some of that what I think was in my style. My punches, my kicks, my dropkicks – if I dropkicked somebody I hit him right in the face, but I didn’t hurt him, but both feet pushed his face hard enough to know jeez, I’m guessing that might’ve hurt. And the thing I take so much pride in is every wrestler I ever worked, every single one, came back and he shook my hand to say thanks for the match.”

“I was a technical wrestler that made you, you know, when I put a headlock on, it look like a real headlock. Not like John Cena or somebody that’s got a headlock that looks like he has it on a tire. The headlock has to be tightened – real. You know, I that’s what I pride myself on. And I also pride myself on the fact that I never injured anybody, ever.”
