WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has opened up on his friendship with Bret Hart, stating that he and The Hitman are now close friends.
WWE legends Flair and Hart were at loggerheads with each other for a long time, with The Nature Boy even calling Hart bitter and lonely last year.
In a recent edition of his To Be The Man podcast, Flair spoke about a recent photo he posted on social media with WWE legend Bret Hart. The Nature Boy said that he's on good terms with Hart now and that he regrets the indifferences they had in the past.
"How about me and Bret Hart this weekend. I mean I took a picture, I was thinking to myself we used to call each other everything in the world for 30 years and now we're like best friends and that's the way it should be. The business could make... the rift, the business makes us all a di*k at some time one time or another. Now with social media it makes it even worse. You look back and regret things you said or even thought about because it makes - at the end of the day what did you gain by it? What a moment of satisfaction - it's just ridiculous. I had a great time with Bret this weekend," said Flair. [14:07 to 14:55]
