Bret Hart Believes Wrestling Psychology Is Dead, Takes Latest Shot At Goldberg

Bret Hart has given his opinions on the state of ring psychology in modern pro wrestling, and has taken a shot at Bill Goldberg, as is tradition.

Hart is one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time, and ‘The Hitman’ is not shy about sharing his opinions on modern wrestling, saying the following at the Vaughan Comic Con, complete with trademark dig at Goldberg:

“My personal feeling about professional wrestling today is that the wrestlers today, for the most part, are actors pretending to be wrestlers. Nobody puts a hold on. No one has what we used to call wrestling psychology anymore, where they work on a leg or work on pinning your opponent. There’s no strategy (compared) to what I learned in wrestling, where you tell a story and try to make things as real and believable as you can. The real art form is to never injure anybody. Two wrestlers go out there, tell their story, and come back. I think it’s still the case today, the first thing they do when they come back to the dressing room is they hug and shake hands, and look at each other and go, ‘I’m okay. Nothing hurt. I didn’t break my neck or anything. You didn’t knock all my teeth out.’ You’re just so happy that you go out and give this performance. The real art is to not hurt anyone. Unfortunately, Bill Goldberg never got that memo,” said Hart, drawing a laugh from the crowd.

Hart recently said he feels wrestlers working today would be better if they aped his work.
