Eric Bischoff Calls Bret Hart A "Sad, Bitter Person"

-- Eric Bischoff, who once considered Bret Hart a friend, now views "The Hitman" in a negative light. When asked for comment on the legendary wrestler on Twitter, he responded, "Another sad, bitter person. Too many of them in this business."

Bischoff made similar comments two years ago during an interview with Monday Night Mayhem shortly after Hart railed the TNA Wrestling executive producer and Hulk Hogan via Twitter: "I feel sad for Bret, because Bret is one of those people, and there are a lot of them, he's the type of person that needs someone to hate in order to feel significant himself."

-- TNA X Division Champion Austin Aries turns 34 years old today. He will celebrate his birthday by competing in Lethal Lockdown tonight at TNA Lockdown.

Bret's recent responses to this was something in the vein of "mail him a copy of the Greatest Rivalries DVD" but honestly, it has been the image that Bret gave himself for his attitude towards the business for years on end.

^ Bischoff is no better, I can do a headcount of all the people and promotions he has bad mouthed over the years

Can you really blame the guy for being a bit bitter? Look at all he lost in this business, it'd be impossible not to be. But the fact that he's been back in the WWE and working with them show he's really not as bitter as a lot of people make it out to be, I think he's come around a lot over the last few years.

Vince kinda pushed him to leave since he didn't want to give him a raise or use him as a big attraction anymore, so it wasn't just money. Vince seemed to think Bret was in the way. At least that's kind of what Wrestling with Shadows made it seem like. Haven't watched that film in years though.

Cant blame Bret for being bitter. Bret gave his life to wrestling, and the business took it all.

Look at what the WWE did for him. He got big paydays and his family got a push. Also before we went back Bret was rather tame regarding Eric and even Hogan. Almost as soon as he started working with WWE again, his hate was redirected from Vince and HBK to Eric and Hogan.

Hello Mr. Pot this is Mr. Kettle have you two met?

Bischoffs the last person who should be calling someone else out on being bitter.

And as has been said already Brets lost alot in the wrestling business it'd be understandable to be bitter but he's the one working with WWE despite that.

[Nature Boy]

I know many people (Including Myself) have badmouthed Bret Hart over the years!

I honestly don't think he's that bitter anymore.

2010 seemed to change all that!

I can understand him not wanting anything to do with Hogan or Bischoff, but if he can make peace with McMahon and Michaels then maybe he should try and do the same with them as well!
