Bret Hart: Triple H Is Overrated

Now at the stage where can look back on a long, successful career, Bret Hart has often been known to pull no punches when talking about other talent. The latest focus was Triple H, himself winding down a lengthy in-ring career.

Speaking during an interview with the much-vaunted (and FSM sponsored) Wrestletalk TV show, Hart debated whether or not Triple H deserves to be called great, also calling into question the amount of truly great matches the former-DX member has had. Video footage is also embedded below.

"I have a certain amount of respect for Triple H. I remember when he first came in, I remember commenting on stuff that he did. Because I'd usually give wrestlers my thoughts and try to help them on stuff. Triple H has always been a good wrestler, but great? What is he now, a 1,000 time world champion? How great really is he?”, Hart said.

"What has he ever done that's great? He's never had a great match, I don't think ever. Whenever I look at Triple H's matches, including the last one he had with Undertaker - and I don't really mean it as a knock - but I told myself before I watched it, because I'm trying to like Paul now these days, that I want to see him do something to make me think he's got greatness in him.

I think Paul is a little overrated, overrated for being great. I can sit here and tell you that there was one match that he ever had with anybody that I thought was great. It's kind of a shame, he should have a great match somewhere with somebody. And you'd think that he would have had it by now, but I don't think he's a great wrestler."
