In a recent interaction with “CanadaCasino.ca,” the ex-chief of WCW, opined about Bret “The Hitman” Hart’s view on modern wrestling talent.
Hart had expressed that contemporary wrestlers often seem to be imitating him instead of wrestling legends such as Hulk Hogan, emphasizing his significant mark on the current wrestling world.
The Hitman noted, “When you watch a lot of the wrestlers today, you don’t see anybody imitating Hulk Hogan or Ultimate Warrior. You see a lot of the wrestlers today to really try their best to capture my style or some of the guys I worked with like Dynamite Kid, Curt Hennig, my brother Owen [Hart]. They are wrestling my style. That’s the biggest compliment I can get from today’s generation.”
However, Bischoff disputed Hart’s opinion, suggesting that several modern wrestlers employ diversion tactics to conceal their wrestling inadequacy.
Bischoff voiced his views thus, “I don’t see anybody trying to recapture Bret Hart’s style. Bret Hart was one of the best wrestlers in the ring. Technically Bret was in a category all of his own in terms of what he was able to do in the ring. I don’t see anybody coming close to Bret Hart’s abilities in the ring. I don’t see anybody even trying. I see the opposite. I see a bunch of people that don’t have nearly the skill or commitment to develop the skill out there doing a bunch of things to distract from the fact that they don’t know how to wrestle.”
