It’s better than a UFC fight. It’s real, violent, and brutal as any kind of MMA match. There’s one thing you have to know is, nobody gets hurt in this match. They go back to the dressing room, hug each other, smile and shake hands and say ‘that was a great match.’ That’s what I did, and I think I did it better than anyone better on the planet,” Hart said.
Bret Hart gives his honest opinion on Hulk Hogan
During his interview with the Calgary Sun, Bret Hart stated that Hulk Hogan's in-ring skills were very limited as he did not have a vast array of moves.
Bret also named two shots that Hogan used to rely on during his matches.
"I think if you look back at wrestling when it was the Hulk Hogan show. He was six-foot-eight and a one-out-of-three wrestler. He didn't know a headlock from a headlamp. He didn't know very much. He knew how to do a clothesline and maybe a body slam. He was very limited," stated Bret Hart.
