Bret Hart Discusses WWE, Owen & Benoit

Legendary Superstar and former WWE champion, Bret "the Hitman" Hart, gives a recent candid interview to The Sun UK. In the article, Bret opens up about many subjects including the loss of his brother Owen, his match against Davey Boy Smith at Summerslam '92, steroids, and the Chris Benoit tragedy. Here's a bit from the interview about Bret's thoughts on the Chris Benoit tragedy.

From The Sun UK:

It’s now coming up to a year from the tragedy involving Chris Benoit. What are your feelings about it now? Do you lay any blame at anyone’s doorstep, be it Chris, the WWE, or wrestling in general?

Maybe because I’m so close to it, but I do feel there’s a link to multiple concussion injuries.

Anyone who is dropped on the top of his head, off the top turnbuckle, diving off the top rope every night for several years...

There’s a strong argument that the Chris Benoit that went off and killed his family that day was totally out of control. He’d lost his mind. I want to believe that.

I don’t think you can blame WWE any more than you can blame the post office when postal workers go crazy.

It just happens, people go crazy, people do crazy things. It just happened to be a wrestler, that’s all.

I don’t think it was steroids.
