Bret Hart Denounces Triple H as 'Phony' in New Interview, Rekindling Montreal Screwjob Rift

The Inside The Ropes clip from Hart’s UK tour renews debate over Triple H’s perceived role in the 1997 controversy.

DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA - JULY 08: Special guest referee Bret "The Hitman" Hart is introduced during the WWE Smackdown Live Tour at Westridge Park Tennis Stadium on July 08, 2011 in Durban, South Africa.

Overview

  • In remarks recorded during an Inside The Ropes appearance, Hart called Triple H a "phony" who "never earned it" and said he "never rated" him.
  • Hart said he wished Triple H had been in the locker room when he punched Vince McMahon after the Montreal Screwjob, implying Stephanie McMahon’s marriage to Triple H might not have happened.

  • Outlets note the quotes come from a short, edited Inside The Ropes video from Hart’s September UK tour, with full context not yet released.
