Bret Hart has openly expressed his belief that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were responsible for WCW’s demise, and he elaborated on his position during a recent appearance on the “Attitude Era” podcast.
Hart drew a parallel to his segment where he tricked Goldberg into spearing him while wearing a steel plate and claimed that Hogan had to be consulted about it.
Hart said, “The truth is that in the end, I remember that day when [Hogan] was trying to change it or cancel it or ruin the whole idea, Eric Bischoff … he doesn’t really know what the hell he’s doing. He never ever did. But I remember he could never do anything and told me I had to get everything approved through Hulk Hogan. And that tells me that Hulk Hogan was the boss over Eric Bischoff and Bischoff was just a frontman for Hogan.”
The Hitman continued, “Between the two of them, they killed WCW. You can put it right on Hogan or Eric Bischoff. They’re both accountable.”
