DeWayne Bruce believes Bret Hart could have prevented Bill Goldberg from injuring him during their infamous match at WCW Starrcade 1999.The match featured a spot where Goldberg struck Hart in the head with a mule kick, causing him to suffer a severe concussion. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer was forced to end his 22-year wrestling career as a result of the injury he suffered in the match.Bruce, also known as Sarge and Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker, worked as the head trainer at WCW’s Power Plant training facility. Speaking to the Two Man Power Trip Podcast’s John Poz, he said Hart was partly at fault for his own injury.“Bret Hart, he got kicked by Bill,” Bruce said. “He said there was no influence on protecting or pushing in the ring at the Power Plant. That’s quite the opposite. I think it’s shame on him. He’s been a veteran in his sport, getting the ultimate push that anybody’s ever got, and if he don’t know to get his hand up, that’s his fault. That’s the way I look at it. And I’m not trying to talk bad about anybody, I’m just talking.”TMPT welcomes in for the feature episode, Dewayne Bruce aka #Sarge to the show.
