WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart gave his thoughts on the allegations against Vince McMahon that led to his removal from WWE. Hart and McMahon have had a complex relationship, most famously stemming from the Montreal Screwjob in 1997.
Speaking on The Rise Guys podcast, Hart commented on the sexual assault allegations from a former employee that involved both McMahon and former executive John Laurinaitis.
“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,” Hart said. “I’ve had all my ups and downs with Vince McMahon… but at the same time, I find what happened there inexcusable and there’s no place for that.”
Hart believes McMahon changed over time.
“I think Vince McMahon became a predator and used wrestling as his backdrop for all of his evil,” he stated. “This tells me that too much money can turn you into a bad person.”
