Let’s check out a few names Hart doesn’t like and has made controversial comments about, as well as some he is friends with.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!


#5. Hates: Goldberg

Bret Hart has never forgiven Goldberg for the infamous kick that almost ended his in-ring career in WCW. During a match between the legends at Starrcade 1999, Goldberg struck Hart with a massive shot to the head, leading to a severe concussion that ultimately ended Bret’s career.

The tension between the two stars grew even more after Hart claimed that Goldberg cost him millions of dollars due to his careless attitude in the ring, which led to the concussion. Hart has been very vocal about the incident and has never named Goldberg as his friend.


#4. Friends With: Kevin Owens

While Bret’s grudges are well-documented, he also had praise for a number of stars, specifically his fellow Canadian, Kevin Owens. Hart has always admired Owens’ work and has named him one of his favorite wrestlers of the current era.

Hart has always respected The Prizefighter, and fans have enjoyed the WWE Hall of Famer's praise for his incredible talent. The legend has often addressed the same during interviews and has always supported Owens.


#3. Hates: Shawn Michaels

Bret Hart’s hatred for Shawn Michaels is one of wrestling’s most well-known real-life rivalries. Their clash reached its peak at the Montreal Screwjob in 1997, where Hart felt betrayed as Michaels conspired with Vince McMahon to win the WWE Championship, without the legend knowing about the result.

The incident is still dubbed as one of the most controversial in history and has been a major reason for the heat between Michaels and Hart. While the latter has said he is open to ending the conflict between the two, he wants HBK to apologize for what happened back in 1997.


#2. Friends With: CM Punk

Bret Hart is also a great friend of CM Punk and has often praised him as someone who fought for respect in an era dominated by corporate interests. Hart has always admired Punk’s rebellious attitude, comparing it to the spirit of old-school wrestlers who stood their ground.

The legend has respected Punk’s dedication to the industry and has always supported The Voice of the Voiceless regardless of the situation.


#1. Hates: WWE Hall of Famer Triple H

Bret Hart might hate a number of stars, but he has never made as many harsh comments as he has about The Game, both for his backstage influence in WWE and his connection to Shawn Michaels. Hart has accused Triple H of being involved in the series of incidents that led to the Montreal Screwjob.

The veteran has also downplayed Triple H’s in-ring skills, claiming that his legacy was built more on power than talent. This long-standing criticism ensured that their relationship stayed cold, with no real sign of friendship between them. Fans will now have to wait and see if any of these stars address their relationship with Bret Hart in the future.
