Bret Hart Teases “Wheelchair Feud” Between Him And Ric Flair, Calls WrestleMania 32’s Ladder Match A “Tennessee Town Killer”

News

On the latest episode of WrestleZone Radio’s The Sharpshooter Show (co-hosted by Bret’s sons Blade and Dallas and Wrestlezone radio’s Nick Hausman), Hart talked about the 7-man IC title ladder match at WrestleMania 32 and commented on a potential Harts vs Flairs feud:

On the seven man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32:

“It’s just a prop match. That’s all it was. Just a bunch of stupid spots with the ladders where people are hitting each other and doing stupid stuff with the spots. I know there’s a lot of hard bumps in there. I never thought any of it made any sense. There were times when guys were walking up the ladder, climbing up the ladder, like at a snail’s pace waiting for someone to come pull them down. Then of course when Zach Ryder won it he just whips up the ladder like it’s nothing. I was really disappointed with the whole thing. When I think about what the ladder match means to me and some of the great ladder matches I had, not so much in WWF but up here in Stampede Wrestling with my Dad. I would say it’s easily the best match on the card, really good ladder match but it’s become a farce. I remember when I came to Chief Jay Strongbow years ago when I was in WWF. When I first started I said, “I have this idea for a ladder match and I’d like to talk to Vince about it.” I remember Chief Jay goes, “What is that? A Tennessee Town Killer Match?” I said, “No, it’s a really good idea.” I remember telling him the whole idea and he said, “That’s a Tennessee Town Killer Match.” You know what? That’s what that match I watched at WrestleMania was. It was a Tennessee Town Killer Match.”

On what kind of potential involvement Bret could have in the feud between Natalya, Charlotte and Charlotte’s  father “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair:

“I kinda feel like throwing down right now and calling Flair out. Me and Ric could have a wheel chair match. First one to tip the other one over in a wheelchair. My luck Ric would probably tip mine over.”

 

I've been following wrestling for almost 30 years now, and the metal scene for even longer. And let's just say that all that head-banging has left me with some weird ideas that i will share with you from time to time. Aren't you glad?
