Speaking with Conrad Thompson on his 83 weeks podcast, former WCW President Eric Bischoff took some shots at two-time WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, calling his reign as WWE Champion “f**king boring”.
Eric Bischoff was not done there, with the former Raw General Manager and SmackDown Executive Director calling Bret Hart’s reign as WWE Champion “a miserable failure”:
“There are a small percentage, a small percentage of people that live in this little five-star match bubble but 95% or at least, a vast majority of the audience, they want story. They want larger than life characters, They want to be entertained. Bret Hart, as great as he was from a technical wrestling point of view, was like watching paint dry. It was f***ing boring.
“The numbers back it up, you know? Bret Hart, is a WWE World Champion was probably when compared to many of his peers during that time, a failure, a miserable failure.”
