WWE: “Thanks for nothing. Go f**k yourselves" - Bret Hart gives a non-PG 'eulogy'

WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart did not mince his words when asked to give a eulogy for World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the former pro-wrestling promotion which died in 2001. Hart made a non-PG comment in his 'eulogy.'

The Hitman left WWE on a sour note at Survivor Series 1997, where he was scr**ed by Vince McMahon in the main event of the night. Hart then made his way to WCW, where he could have been a massive star had he been booked right. His WCW run was a big flop and it was where he suffered a career-ending injury.

On an episode of VICE TV's docuseries Who Killed WCW? many pro-wrestling legends appeared and shared their views on the now-defunct promotion. In the end, they were asked to give their eulogies to WCW. Here is what Bret "The Hitman" Hart said:

"Thanks for nothing. Go f**k yourselves.”

What the future has in store for The Hitman remains to be seen.

Goldberg on ending Bret "The Hitman" Hart's career in WCW

Goldberg ended Bret "The Hitman" Hart's pro-wrestling career in 1999 with a poorly executed kick during a match. Over the years, Hart has taken shots at Goldberg on numerous occasions. On a recent edition of The Von Erichs Podcast, The Myth did not hold back while addressing Bret.

"Granted, unfortunately, a couple times: Steiner, I’m not even gonna mention his name — the mo**n I kicked in the head. But unfortunately things like that happen. It’s a rough business. As long as there’s not malicious intent, I mean, hey bro, you’re in the wrong business if you bi**h and m**n about getting slapped or getting punched errantly. It’s just a different day and age, it just is," Goldberg said. [H/T CSS]

Hart mended fences with WWE years after his retirement and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. The Hitman was honored with a second induction as a member of The Hart Foundation in 2019. He is also regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the business.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
