Veteran Superstars often give opinions that hits a raw nerve. Recently, it was Ric Flair who questioned Bret Hart’s critical analysis of the younger talents in WWE along with commenting on someone new every week.

During his conversation with Conrad Thompson, he revealed that he could never bring himself to be in a position similar to Bret Hart’s. He doesn’t want to come across as bitter when he walks down the WWE building.

“What I do want to do is be able to walk into the building and not have people say, ‘God, he’s bitter, he’s old, and he’s gonna continue to knock people. I couldn’t live like that. And calling Roman Reigns the next Triple H or cracking on him.

“I mean, how uncomfortable is that for people in the family to walk around in front of Hunter [Triple H]? And Shawn [Michaels], who is an integral part of the company. NXT, that’s part of the company, right? What else? Jerry Lawler… ‘Jerry Lawler hit me with a chair too hard.’ Wow, okay… I don’t understand it. I don’t ever wanna be that lonely.”

However, Bret Hart took to social media to clarify that his comments about comparing Roman Reigns and Triple H are from an interview that happened quite a while ago.
