WWE News: Bret Hart Chastises "Weirdo" Vince McMahon Amid Janel Grant Lawsuit

Bret Hart feels "embarrassed" to have once held Vince McMahon in high regard.

Bret Hart is disgusted with former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in the midst of serious allegations.

Hart is considered to be wrestling royalty. He is known for being one of the best technical wrestlers in the history of the business, but his relationship with McMahon was a roller coaster ride to say the least.

Putting his own past with Vince behind him, however, "The Hitman" has lost any respect he once had for the former WWE boss after allegations from former company employee Janel Grant surfaced. McMahon is being accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking, and he's under federal investigation due to the graphic nature of the alleged deplorable acts.

"The Hitman" has seen enough, and he'll never look at Vince McMahon the same.

During an interview with Slate, it's quite clear that Bret Hart feels the evidence against Vince McMahon is obvious, and he feels the man he once thought he knew is tainted forever.

“I think, despite all of the issues I ever had with Vince, I know, deep down, I always respected him; but now, knowing what kind of a weirdo he became, I have absolutely zero respect for him,” Hart wrote to me in a text message after our conversation. “I do not think I could ever shake his hand if he extended it. Too creepy.”

For Hart and many others, the allegations that have surfaced have left him feeling ashamed that he ever put McMahon on a pedestal.

“I always had a respect for him,” Hart said. “Now it’s tainted. I’m embarrassed that I thought so highly of him.”

McMahon, former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis, and WWE are being sued by Janel Grant. It's been reported that TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE, won't hesitate to get rid of backstage figures who were considered to be "Vince McMahon guys."
