WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took to an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how nothing good came out of Bret Hart’s run in WCW.
Bischoff said, “No reflection on him, but Bret Hart. I mean, nothing good came out of it. Not for him. Not for us. Not for the fans. Everybody lost.”
Bischoff also talked about what Bret Hart would have or could have done if he didn’t join WCW.
“Yeah, no. Either he would have [gone to ECW or Japan] or he would have gone back and worked for Vince for a significantly less amount of money than he had been promised. I’m sure Bret would say the same thing. It may be the one time we’ll agree on something. That was just a bad situation. I strive for, embrace, and I’m grateful for opportunities where everybody wins. If there’s three parties involved, and it’s a win-win-win situation, that’s optimal, right? You hope for these types of opportunities throughout your career or your life. With Bret, it was a lose-lose-lose, and for that reason alone, I wish I wouldn’t have done it.”
