"Oh I love Bret (Hart)" - WWE veteran confesses his honest thoughts about wrestling legend (Exclusive)

WWE legend Bret Hart has garnered varied reactions from fans and critics over the years. However, one wrestling veteran certainly has no hate towards him, judging by his recent comments.

In an exclusive interview with Dr. Chris Featherstone for Sportskeeda, Harvey Wippleman discussed his perception of the WWE legend. Hart needs no introduction to any wrestling fan. His work in the 1980s and '90s did all the talking for him as he rose to the top rungs of the wrestling industry.

Apart from being a two-time Hall of Famer in the Stamford-based promotion, Hart has won several world titles throughout his career. Harvey often met him during his tenure in WWE, leading to a great friendship.

"Oh, I love Bret. We talk about once a month. Very good friend of mine, very close. One of my favorite guys in the business, I love Bret," he said. [3:44 onwards]

Another WWE veteran is not a fan of Bret Hart

While Bret has a dedicated fanbase, he is not really a favorite of some veterans like Eric Bischoff.

After Bischoff was criticized by Bret, the former stated on Wrestling Life Online that Bret complained too much about everyone he did not like. He explained:

"Bret's always been the kind of guy that's got to be mad at somebody," Bischoff said. "He hates Vince [McMahon], he hates Shawn [Michaels], he hates [Earl] Hebner, he hates [Hulk] Hogan, he hates Bischoff, he hates [Bill] Goldberg, he hates this guy. Bret has a tendency to blame the entire world for whatever goals Bret hasn't achieved that he thought he should."

Bret Hart is currently retired, and has not wrestled at all since 2011. As such, it is unlikely he will ever step back into a ring.
