The originally scheduled main event for the ‘WWF SummerSlam 1993’ pay-per-view was WWF Champion ‘The Immortal’ Hulk Hogan defending his title against Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart.
Hogan was going to put over Bret in a classic babyface vs. babyface match, similar to Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI more than 3 years earlier.
But as we all know, that did not happen and The Hulkster dropped the Title to Yokozuna at the ‘WWF King of the Ring 1993’ PPV two months earlier instead.
Various versions of what led to that decision exist, including Bret blaming Hogan for not wanting to put him over, while Hulk explained that Vince McMahon changed his mind and it was all Vince’s decision.
During an interview on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, Hogan addressed what Bret has said about him in past interviews, things like he sabotaged Bret’s career and stuff like that.
Here’s what the Hulkster said:
“Bret hates everybody. If it’s not me, it’s Flair, it’s Vince.
‘I’ll never work for Vince again after what happened to my family’, and then he’s back. It just never ends with him. I love Bret to death, man. I started with Bret. I remember when I was in Atlanta, I was in the business for about three years, and I was like, 330 pounds, almost 340. I just remember Bret used to live across the hall from me when I was working for Channel 17, what was it? Crockett promotion, that I was so big, I’d wrestle three guys at once, so I’d pick all three of them up in a bear hug and just ragdoll them.
Bret was one of them, but we were just all getting started so it was all fun, but then we got rolling, and man, he says I destroyed his career. You know, it’s like, okay, all right, whatever.
I just don’t get it, man, because I love him to death. He’s a good guy and he was a great asset to the business. When you talk like that, you attract more hatred and that negativity. It’s not good, man. It’s time to switch up and be positive and happy and love people.”
