In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart discussed his backstage fight with Vince McMahon at the WWE Survivor Series event in 1997, the fallout of the incident, Earl Hebner, joining WCW, why he isn’t a fan of Eric Bischoff and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On why he felt bad for Earl Hebner regarding the Montreal Screwjob incident: “I always felt bad for Earl, I think in his heart he would have told me, but when they cornered him, he rolled over. It’s hard to watch the match because of the spot they put Earl in, he’s terrified”.

On why he’s not a fan of Eric Bischoff: “I remember Steve Austin telling me before I left that he would never go back to WCW, he said that it was the most disorganized, chaotic place and that you couldn’t get a clear answer out of anyone. I knew from day one with Eric Bischoff, especially that I was coming in with so momentum, that these guys didn’t know what they were doing, I knew it was a dumb idea before I even went out. Behind the scenes, Bischoff pretended he was Vince McMahon, but he was really a puppet for Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan and a handful of other guys who were telling him what to do, he was just a clueless idiot who never should have been in wrestling, he was as much of a liar as Vince ever was, but Vince was a very smart liar, Bischoff was just a clueless guy with no backbone and no brains”.
