WWE Hall of Famer Booker T Calls Out Bret Hart for "Bitter" Remarks Over Alleged Grudges.
In a recent podcast discussion with Brad Gilmore, Booker T expressed his concerns over his longtime friend and wrestling legend Bret Hart's increasingly bitter remarks towards former co-stars. The 10-time world champion called out Hart for his negativity, suggesting that the former wrestler's reputation is being ruined by his refusal to let go of past grievances.
Booker recalled their time working together in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and claimed that they were never bitter with each other, but has since noticed a change in Hart's behavior. He stated, "I like Bret Hart, Bret Hart has done so much for this business... now at this stage of the game, it's like I don't know, everything's nuclear."
Booker specifically mentioned Hart's well-documented feud with Bill Goldberg, which he claims is "deep-rooted" and not justified. The two men worked together in WCW Starrcade 1999, but their match ended with Hart claiming Goldberg failed to submit properly, leading to a head injury that contributed to his post-concussion syndrome.
However, Booker does consider Goldberg a friend after their time working together. He reiterated that he likes Bret Hart, but suggested that the former wrestler should dial it back on his interview remarks, stating "to not be able to relive some of the greatest moments in this business because of bitterness? It's going to be a lonely, lonely day at the end of this ride."
It appears that Booker T is urging Hart to reflect on his legacy and consider the impact of his words. With multiple recent interviews showcasing Hart's increasingly candid comments about WWE co-stars and colleagues, it seems clear that the wrestling world is watching as this legendary figure navigates the complexities of aging in the spotlight.

Still, you can't blame Bret for being bitter, what with all he's been through and how some of those feuds have affected his life. But, maybe it's time to put the past behind him? I mean, we've all got our demons, but when it comes out in interviews, it's like, hello! 
Still, respect to Booker T for calling him out – I guess someone's gotta keep Bret in check 
.
! I mean, Booker T is right, all that bitterness is gonna be his downfall. He's always been a class act, but now it seems like he's stuck in the past 
. Newsflash Bret: you can't control how others perceive you, and dwelling on past grievances isn't gonna make your legacy better 
. The WWE world needs more positivity from legendary figures like Bret Hart, not negativity. Let the man enjoy his retirement in peace 
!
. I mean, I've seen him in person at a wrestling show and he's still got that charm, but maybe he needs to take a step back and think about how his words are being received? It's like when our school's drama club does a show and they're all about the negativity – it can be really draining for everyone involved 
.
he's like the ultimate fanboy for Bret Hart lol, i mean who else is gonna call out their buddy for being bitter 
but seriously tho, i think Booker has a point... bret's been going around saying some pretty shady stuff about other people in the wrestling world and it's not cool 
like, bret's an icon and all but he can't just keep riding his own ego forever 
anyone who thinks brett's gonna change just 'cause Booker T said so is sadly mistaken 
.
. So yeah, I think Booker T is right - we should try to dial it back a notch and just enjoy the ride.
. But at the same time, Bret Hart has given so much to wrestling and deserves respect... I hope he finds a way to let go of his past grudges and not ruin his reputation 
. Maybe a bit of reflection will help him dial back on those bitter remarks 
10 time world champion and still got beefs to settle 
not cool, bro 
still a legend in my eyes
