Bret Hart: Vince McMahon Used Pro Wrestling As The Backdrop To All Of His Evil

Bret Hart does not usually mince words and that is certainly no different when it comes to discussing Vince McMahon.

The Hitman and McMahon have had a roller coaster relationship over the decades, but Hart is clear in his opinion of the disgraced former WWE CEO now.

Speaking about the allegations against McMahon during a recent appearance on The Rise Guys podcast, Bret said:

"Everything that happened with John Laurinaitis and the things they were doing with that poor girl, shame on all of them. That's just terrible. I've had all my ups and downs with Vince McMahon, and in a lot of ways, I have a lot of respect for him, but at the same time, I find what happened there inexcusable and there's no place for that. I think Vince McMahon became a predator and used wrestling as his backdrop for all of his evil. This tells me that too much money can turn you into a bad person".

The three-time WWE Hall of Famer has previously stated his belief that predatory behaviour is everywhere in WWE. He has also said that Vince McMahon can 'rot in hell', while claiming his punch to McMahon following the Montreal Screwjob was the best thing he's ever done.

John Laurinaitis was recently dropped as a defendant in Janel Grant's lawsuit after he agreed to cooperate and provide evidence against WWE and McMahon.
