To an extent I understand what Bret is saying, but it just comes off as bitter, mean, and unnecessary. Sure HHH isn't the greatest, but deserved or not, he has a major place in wrestling history. I loved Bret as a wrestler, but as a person, he just seems like he isn't happy unless he is talking down about someone and talking about how great he is. It really is a put off, and his attitude now has kind of impacted how I feel about his past.

"Bitterness" and "arrogance" are the only words to describe Bret Hart these days. And if anyone so much as tries to defend him by saying "he has every right to be arrogant", then shame on you. Not a man on this earth has the right to be arrogant, especially to the extent of Bret Hart. Makes me cringe when he often declares himself as a fantastic ring worker and then puts down guys like Triple H who is obviously not as bad as Bret tries to make people believe. He's just a bitter old man in my opinion, and he's been that way for a long time.

You realise that the Slammy award is a biased WWE award that is chosen by...the WWE...gasp! There were plenty of better matches in 2012 than the highly overrated HHH/Taker HIAC. And do you realize that your opinions are NOT a fact. Cause for me personally it was the best match last year. And believe it or not I'm aloud to have an opinion ... gasp. At no point in that part you quoted did I claim the Slammy's were a legit award. My point was... That typically in WWE, Hype = Success. And normally any match built up for a year main eventing WM with Cena/Rock, or any match featuring the return of Lesnar would be easily be their choice whether it was deserved or not. But I noticed you conveniently skipped over the part where I quoted PWI. A legit unbiased magazine that ranks matches from WWE, TNA, & ROH. And their yearly awards are voted on by the fans. And they Did vote for Triple H vs Taker. That's not my opinion, it's a fact, look it up.

Anyone calling Hart bitter is a misinformed tool. For every one guy you hear Bret bury, he praises 15. Bret even praises HBK every chance he gets. Bret is a harsh critic, no doubt. But he also reaps alot of praise on guys like Angle, Mysterio,Jericho, Punk, and many others. He's just a harsh critic. These are his honest to god opinions and maybe it's mean for him to voice them publicly but he has. Like it or not. But bitter is a bunch of HHH nut swingers grasping at straws. He makes every gig Mcmahon calls him for and works with HBK every chance he gets these days. He's also wealthy from his WCW deal alone. If he has nothing to be bitter about. He's also more revered than HHH. Look at todays current crop of talent, always citing him as an influence and praising him. HHH's ring work was mediocre as ing hell, he'll never influence guys like that. Bret Hart was the best pure technical wrestler in north america at one time, HHH was never close. So quit the ''he's bitter'' crap. Hart was a huge star with an international fanbase. He opened up doors for WWE in places like Canada and Germany. HHH was good but to compare him to Hart is intellectually- disabled. Bret had great matches will everybody, HHH had great matches with top guys only.

You can't compare Hogan to HHH. Hogan is an american icon like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. HHH had a nice little run as the top heel yes, but lets not get carried away. Was Triple H a top heel? Yes. It's not his fault the business wasn't as popular as it was in Hogan's time. You said Triple H didn't excel in anything. So he wasn't one of the best heels ever? He didn't excel in getting heat? He didn't excel in putting over young stars? I beg to differ. Sure, he wasn't a phenomenal in ring worker and his mic skills weren't legendary, but that doesn't mean he didnt excel in anything else. I'd like to respectfully disagree with two things. I honestly believe the business was just as popular during the Attitude Era. In fact, a lot of people believe that it was more popular then. Also, in many ways, Triple H's burying of young stars is why people hate him. Case in point: Booker T at WrestleMania XIX. Granted, Booker wasn't young, but many people believe Triple H should've dropped the World Heavyweight Championship that night. I think HHH even alluded to it during his feud with Sheamus, stating he'll turn him into a footnote like "everyone else" at WrestleMania XXVI. That always intrigued me. But I DO have to agree with you. Triple H was never the best wrestler, or the best talker. But he is one of the most influential people in the business, and he is actually the smartest wrestler in the company. There's a reason why he's "The Cerebral Assassin." Jim Ross has always stated Triple H is the measuring stick in WWE. Not many men get endorsements like that.

Maybe Bret just trying to work an angle here with these comments?
