The relationship between Triple H and Bret Hart has never been good. There are so many times that Bret attacked Triple H on various topics but the ‘King of Kings’ remained calm.
Recently Bret made a fulminating claim that Triple H wanted to bury rock. Now he has made another claim that Triple H did not like Ken Shamrock. During his recent visit on the 81 podcast, the former 5 times WWE world champion said;
Bret Hart Says Triple H Did Not Like Ken Shamrock
“He (Shamrock) did pretty good. That was all in the early going when he first showed up and did the match where he refereed me and Stone Cold. That was before he got signed so that was a few weeks before WrestleMania. But I always thought he was someone who could’ve been a way better pro wrestling star than what they allowed him to be.
“To be honest, I think Triple H didn’t like him, mostly because he was connected to me. But Triple H I remember didn’t like him, and I remember Triple H was working with him a lot, was always criticizing him and talking about him. I think that was one of the guys that stabbed him in the back a lot.”
Previously there have been quite a number of occasions when Bret Hart attacked Triple H with various claims. Among one of them we have talked previously, it was about 5 years ago, after the release of the WWE video game WWE 2K16, Bret Hart claimed that he was rated only 85 in the game and Triple H had been rated 98.
Bret was pretty furious about it. Triple Hon the other hand, did not care about it at all and laughed it off. But the claim was not right. Bret was actually rated 90 in this game, and Triple H got a rating of 91, which we believe should not be a matter of anger.
On the same discussion, Bret said that he would love to wrestle with Ken Shamrock;
“I’d have loved to work with Ken; it just never happened. I don’t know why, probably more to do with the office. In fact, I remember that Vince was going to fire him. And he (Vince) called me up and basically said ‘I’m just getting ready to call Ken Shamrock. I’m gonna fire him.’ And I said, ‘Why would you fire him?’
“Vince was like, ‘Lot of guys didn’t like him in management.’ And I said, ‘I don’t think you should fire him. We really need a guy like Ken Shamrock. We can use a guy like that, he can be a star and we can make money with him.’ And I changed his mind. He goes, ‘Okay I’ll keep him.’ And they kept him.”
Bret Hart vs. Ken Shamrock would have been an amazing match to witness, but unfortunately, this match is not possible anymore. Even if it ever happens we can never get the best outcome of it.
