[@chrisimcevoy]

On Brian lauding Bret’s candour: A lot of people seem to forget that Bret has had his fair share of strokes, which - in part - can cause him to come across somewhat more emotional, more blunt than he otherwise might be on occasion. Some people interpret that bluntness as “Bret is always whining” or “Bret is just bitter”. Other people see it in a more positive light, like he’s a real straight-shooter and isn’t afraid to speak the truth. For the most part, I think given everything he’s been through, he’s about as “good” a man as you could hope to find in the wrestling business from his era. But let’s not forget that his post-stroke demeanour is to some degree outside of his control.

One of the big problems with Brett is he isn't willing to admit that he fucked up at various points. He blames people for things where he had responsibility to make decisions to protect himself. Where his choices are a big part of the cause of his issues. The fact he chose to go into the ring injured badly is a big part of the reason he got hurt and he needs to own that. He won't instead he keeps blaming other people.

But make no mistake about it, Bret never goes crawling back to WWE/Vince if Brets precious wrestling footage was included in Marthas settlement

[@thekidfromiowa]

Well, this is the same Vince who resumed a show after Bret's brother lost his life at that show.

[@runnersdialzero1244]

How Brian doesn't pronounce "Phil Mushnick" as "PHIL MUSH-NICK" ala Jim in 1997 is beyond me.

[@matthewskala691]

Brets done with the sugar coating

[@alexrekzu4079]

I was just thinking of how close Bret was with vinny at that time..he must know something

[@nigelgunson1025]

Jim always seems very respectful when talking about bret. Well done jim. Bret deserves respect,

[@MilMaska]

I think, despite all of the issues I ever had with Vince, I know, deep down, I always respected him; but now, knowing what kind of a weirdo he became, I have absolutely zero respect for him. I do not think I could ever shake his hand if he extended it. Too creepy.” - Bret Hart

[@ryanjacobson2508]

I never had respect for him in the sense that he was a Boomer Yuppie who destroyed the territories using unethical practices for big $.... Also for allowing Shawn Michaels to be a complete prick for years w/ zero consequences.

Linda & Stephanie help cover this up, especially Linda. She’s been covering Vince’s & others like Pat Patterson’s abuses since the ring boys allegations in the 1980’s & 90’s

[@maddogsportzjh]

Waiting for JC to comment on the Billy Jack Haynes news. Plus it would give us one more hilarious Hannibal impersonation from Brian Last. Guy was filming the whole arrest like it was a promo.

Haynes news?

I wanted Bret to be interviewed by Jim Ross while wearing a suit. Explaining his relationship with him. Then by saying "Vince screwed Vince"

[@toomuchchad5557]

I'm curious on what John Cena thinks on all of this. Doesnt Cena still pay Vincent a portion of his profits? The ultimate "Yes man." I wonder if his views have changed

[@approx4ft]

You will be waiting an eternity

[@Dr.Yakub22]

Him and Taker always were Vince's closest guys and they both admitted that he's like a father to them. I'm willing to bet that they both at the very least knew about Vince's actions.

[@barfo281]

Remember when Cena apologized to China for calling Taiwan a country?

[@UziBlancoOfficial]

He's already in Hollywood... the vince stuff is like a 2nd grade play compared to what's going on out there so he won't say shit unless he's directly asked an then he will avoid avoid avoid 😂

Bret Hart is the Ned Stark of wrestling.

[@bled83]

Bret's a solid citizen.

[@Liamsuprnova]

Love Bret. He’s always been a real one.

[@job489]

I've always been a fan of Bret Hart and remember dreaming that he'd put the sunglasses on me when I was a kid. Although I wish he denounced Vince permanently years ago, I assumed he sided with him often for the sake of "The Hart Dynasty" even when Owen died (RIP). With a family legacy built on professional wrestling, the Hart family couldn't risk Vince McMahon hating them when he was the top owner at the time. If they still wanted to make 'the big bucks', Vince owned the company able to offer it back then. WCW could too but was axed. I've read ECW didn't even pay some of their wrestlers. Any bad blood back then could've ruined "The Hart Dynasty" where not only the Hart Family takes a hit but also any Dungeon graduates. Bret's niece is still in the WWE, and any animosity could've also impacted her career. I wish Bret permanently denounced Vince years ago, I understand pressure on why The Hart Family sided with Vince, but I am glad that this denouncement will be permanent.

[@McGomezAddams]

"What do you think of the Vince allegations?" Bret:"FCK GOLDBERG!"

[@eamonwright7488]

Haha so true

[@Trunks7500]

The Rita situation happened in Poughkeepsie Ny

[@dismothafuka405]

Let's not forget about the wrestling interviews where wrestlers are laughing about shiting in the kings crown, the shit sandwich, slop bucket with shit in it etc.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

Vince was sort of in a state of arrested development and naturally he liked being around similar dudes. Look at how cartoonish he made the WWE in the 80's and early 90's, and then during the attitude era, he allowed a lot of shock toilet humor to make it's way into the programming.

[@agreen3127]

" he reverted back to what he's always been" Bryan nailed it

[@TheDeath138]

"The weirdo he became"? Nobody becomes a predator, they just are. Vince has probably been doing this kind of shit for decades, but it's just now coming back to bite him in the ass.

[@danthemancushecan]

I've concluded that these Vince accusations are so over the top and horrendously wild, that they're either 100% bullshit, or 100% true. There can be no in-between involving Vince McMahon.

[@jameshayes4390]

Bret is a straight sharpshooter.

Bret Hart said some pretty nasty things about the woman who accused Vince of raping her back in 93'.
