Overview
- MJF said Bret Hart is "one of the greatest wrestlers of all time" while arguing Hart does not surpass Shawn Michaels in talk, athleticism or excitement.
- He described Hart as "punch drunk," said Hart "says crazy s**t all the time," and referenced being "rocked by Bill Goldberg" as tied to Hart’s retirement.
- MJF elevated Steve Austin as the true benchmark for wrestling greatness, saying Austin is the sport’s "Mecca" and expressing fatigue with the Shawn-versus-Bret debate.
- The remarks were made during press for AEW’s Double or Nothing and have been reported by multiple wrestling outlets, with no substantive public response from Bret Hart or WWE so far.
- The comments fold concerns about concussion-related decline into a long-running GOAT conversation and are likely to fuel fan debate and media coverage in the lead-up to AEW’s event.
