During his appearance on Tuesday’s episode of WWE Backstage on FS1, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart looked back on signing with WCW in 1997.Â
Here is what he had to say:Â
“The funny thing about it is I remember Vince saying that to me. WCW would never know what to do with a Bret Hart,” Hart recalls. “It’s like after about three or four months there, I realized how incredibly true that was. They really didn’t know what to do with me.
“They had no appreciation for my skills or for my abilities, and I remember often going to Eric Bischoff going, ‘how about throwing me with this guy? How about putting me with Booker T? How about I do this?’ They would always come up with the most lame reason why I couldn’t wrestle you [Booker T] because you were wrestling someone else. I remember going, ‘that’s not even a reason.’ They really didn’t know what they were doing, and I’m not sure what the politics of all that [was].”
“If I could do it all over again, I think I’d try to figure out a better way to stay in WWE,” Hart admits. “Knowing what I know about WCW, I’m sorry that I ever went there.”
