• Bret Hart Reveals How He Made Ric Flair Stop Doing His Hard-Hitting Chops
During a recent appearance on Prime Time With Sean Mooney podcast, two time WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart talked about facing “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair and how he made Flair stop doing his hard-hitting chops.
Below is what The Hitman said:
“I can remember Ric Flair used to like chopping me all the time. And they hurt – you get these blisters on your chest and a hand print on your chest for like three days.
That’s what they do to the rookies, they chop ya, keep chopping ya – they think it’s a badge of honor or something. Which is probably why everyone in the building goes ‘Wooooo’ ya know? I remember telling him I said ‘Ric no more chops.’
But he said ‘it’s part of my thing, I always do a chop, people expect it.’ I said ‘if you do a chop, I got a move I do. You go ahead and chop me, give me a big chop. I’ll sell it, I’ll give you my whole chest and everything. And then I’ll look at you – and I’ll punch you right in the mouth as hard as I can.’
And I remember Ric looked at me and said ‘are you kidding?’ I said ‘no I’m not; I’ll punch you right in the nose as hard as I can.’ We never did chops after that.”
