Bret Hart: The Real Art To Pro Wrestling Is To Not Hurt Anyone. Unfortunately, Bill Goldberg Never Got That Memo

It’s a day that ends in Y, which means Bret Hart is still taking aim at Bill Goldberg.

Speaking at Vaughn Comic Con, Bret once again gave his thoughts on the current state of pro wrestling, and ended with a shot at Goldberg.

“My personal feeling about professional wrestling today is that the wrestlers today, for the most part, are actors pretending to be wrestlers. Nobody puts a hold on. No one has what we used to call wrestling psychology anymore, where they work on a leg or work on pinning your opponent. There’s no strategy (compared) to what I learned in wrestling, where you tell a story and try to make things as real and believable as you can. The real art form is to never injure anybody. Two wrestlers go out there, tell their story, and come back. I think it’s still the case today, the first thing they do when they come back to the dressing room is they hug and shake hands, and look at each other and go, ‘I’m okay. Nothing hurt. I didn’t break my neck or anything. You didn’t knock all my teeth out.’ You’re just so happy that you go out and give this performance. The real art is to not hurt anyone. Unfortunately, Bill Goldberg never got that memo,” said Bret, drawing a laugh from the crowd.

Goldberg’s kick to Bret’s head at WCW Starrcade 1999 effectively ended Bret’s career.

Elsewhere during the interview, Bret commented on the lack of appreciation shown to him by WWE. Fans can find his full comments here.
