One of the best things about Bret Hart is he wears his heart on his sleeve. Good, bad or indifferent, Hart has no fear of letting you know how exactly how he feels on any given topic.

Hitting the media circuit to promote an new pro wrestling road documentary he played a part in, 350 Days, Hart has recently fielded questions about every topic involving the squared circle.

Appearing on the CBS Sports’ “In This Corner” podcast this week, Hart was asked about the reason why his brother Owen Hart is not in the WWE Hall of Fame and what may be keeping him out. Per his reputation, The Hitman did not run his answer through any kind of filter.

“You can leave Owen Hart out or leave Dynamite Kid out of it or some of these great wrestlers, but why are you leaving them out of it? There are a lot of great wrestlers who haven’t got their pat on the back at the Hall of Fame and it started bothering me to the point where I don’t think I will go again to any of the ceremonies until they put in proper, deserving candidates.”

Hart continued.

“Just about anyone can be in it, and it doesn’t really matter if you were a great wrestler or what your accomplishments or contribution were to wrestling. Then you have the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, who never even made it in WWE, they are in it. Terry Gordy and the [Fabulous] Freebirds are in it when they were too drunk to make most of the towns. I was there in the dressing room when Andre the Giant fired all three of them. They were not great role models or hard workers. ”You look at the people they have in the Hall of Fame, even some of these celebrities in there, and you go: For me personally, with Owen not being in the Hall of Fame, there is a lot of people that belong in the Hall of Fame that are not in it. If it turns out that WWE is going to keep being a Hall of Fame that caters to suck ups and people that are in the company that feel they owe a favor to but never contributed to the business as wrestlers, I question the whole Hall of Fame itself, and I wonder if there will ever be a real Hall of Fame that really caters to just the wrestlers.”

Throughout the entire interview Hart made many valid points on what the WWE Hall of Fame is versus what it should be. At the end of the day, unlike other sports where a collection of people vote on candidates, pro wrestling’s biggest Hall of Fame is run by the sport’s biggest promoter.

Does Owen Hart belong in the WWE Hall of Fame? Without question. Will Owen Hart get into the WWE Hall of Fame is a more complicated question, and one that has even his older brother Bret perplexed about to this day.
