WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart recently spoke with Duane Finley of FloCombat about the similarities between pro wrestling and MMA. Here is what he had to say:
“I’ll say it now, UFC does better pro wrestling than pro wrestling,” Hart said. “The promos, the whole, [Jon] ‘Bones’ Jones and [Daniel] Cormier sitting in a chair. That’s the gripping television that pro wrestling used to deliver.”
“I respect what the UFC people do,” Hart said. “I’m so glad I didn’t have to make a living punching one of my good friends up, you know, busting my knuckles on his face. I consider myself privileged that I got to make a living doing an art form, sort of a pretend version of that. I’m much happier knowing that I went 23 years and I never injured one wrestler in my career.”
