Bret Hart has given praise to one of the top stars in WWE for their approach to in-ring psychology.
Regarded as one of the best in-ring performers of all time, The Hitman will be honoured over WrestleMania weekend as his match with Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 will be recognised as the first “WWE Immortal Moment.”
With Hart being on many fans’ and pro wrestlers’ Mount Rushmores for his many classic matches, the Hall of Famer was asked about his favourite performers while appearing on the Rosenberg Wrestling podcast. Along with discussing former rivals Austin and Shawn Michaels, Hart noted how Roman Reigns has things figured out in the ring and does not have the erratic energy that other stars of today have:
“When I watch a lot of the younger guys or the guys that have come up, I see that sort of erratic kind of panic sometimes, where they rush into stuff. But when I see Roman Reigns wrestle, he’s always in control. He’s always very calm.”
“He’s always kind of already got it figured out what the next sequence of moves are going to be and how he’s going to do them and how he’s going to execute them. He just never seems to panic.”
Bret Hart Not As Complimentary Of Hulk Hogan
While Hart has looked back fondly on his previous matches with Austin, the Hall of Famer has had very few positive things to say about Hulk Hogan in interviews over the past few years. When one Hulk Hogan story was recently brought up, Bret Hart responded that he didn’t believe it as The Hulkster is known for lying.
