Scott Hall in WCWRazor Ramon at the WWE, had A controversial relationship with Bret Hart. Without going any further, a few days ago we talked about how Hulk Hogan (and his friends) sabotaged the native of Canada. Today, we know The day “The Bad Guy” stopped feeling what he felt for “The Hitman”.
► Bret Hart's sanctuary
To do this we recover an interview that Hall, who died in 2022, did in In Your Head Radioin which he reveals the time He visited Hart's house and discovered the sanctuary of himself.
“When we arrived at WCW, some of the action figures were, like… horrible. People said, 'Wow, your figures stink!' And I said, 'Yes, my number 15 struggles …' (laughs). Did I ever collect them? No. I never did, brother. And that is my problem. When you work for Vince, and you are 300 days a year on the road, you don't have time for those shit **.
“I remember that sometimes we were in Europe and places like that, and people brought you a portrait. They painted a portrait of yours and they gave it to you at the hotel. And you received it by saying: 'Thank you very much …'. You took him to the room, and left it there. Because you didn't want to hurt your feelings, but I couldn't charge that for another 10 or 12 days.
“Now, looking back, if I had been more mature, I would have sent him home and I would have it in my gym and all that. I never kept journal covers or anything like this type of thing. Because when you are out there, spinning, dominating the world, you don't care. Now, at the twilight of my career, my children are already great – people tell me: 'You were that fighter, right?' And I say, 'Yes'. And I would like to say, 'come to my gym … Let me show you all my material. I was once important … '. But I never kept anything like that. My mom does. My mom has every Scott Hall doll, every magazine cover, everything. Everything has it saved in his attic.
“I will never forget once we struggled in Calgary. And Bret invited everyone to his house – which is very friendly on his part, because many guys don't want a lot of fighters around with his family. And I must admit it, I love Bret, but when I left his house, I no longer felt the same for him. I am a different guy to Bret, I do not say it is better, or worse, but Bret's house was a sanctuary of Hitman. There was not a single room without a photo of his in his fighting attire. At that time he was married to the mother of his children. Above his bed he had a portrait of him with a 'Sergeant Pepper' style jacket. Rosa, with fringes. I don't say it wasn't great. I just say: 'Bro, above your bed? Are you teaching me? '
«I grew up losing fighting, you know? It weighed 290 pounds, full of steroids … I was there in Kansas City, losing to 60 years without teeth. This was when it was not yet 'sports entertainment' – it was wrestling. We still sold it as if it were 'real'. I was going to bars and people told me: 'Wait a minute … you do that of the fight, right? – That's false '. And I said: 'No, it is not. Do you want to try with me? '. They said: 'Man, I saw that guy beat you …'. And I replied: 'Yes, he beat me – and I'm going to burst you – so imagine what he would do to you …'.
“I grew up knowing that this business is entertainment. I know it is a show. I do not say that we are not good athletes or that we do not hurt ourselves. I only say that it is a show. And I never went – we called it 'Marks' – I was never a 'Mark' of myself. I have photos of different people I met on the road. I have photos of The Kliq. Photos of my friends in different parts of the world and things like that. Wrestling is what I do – it's not who I am. It is my occupation. It is my love. It is my passion. I have been blessed to be able to do it, but I do not define who I am.»
