Bret Hart: XFL Players Will Be Treated Much Better Than Wrestlers Despite Wrestling Funding It

July 11, 2018 | Posted by Larry Csonka

Bret Hart recently spoke with CBS’ In This Corner podcast (transcript via wrestlinginc.com), about the XFL and how he believes WWE should treat their Superstars…

On How WWE Treats Their Wrestlers: “Employees who work for WWF they have better benefits than the wrestlers do. The ones they should take care of is the wrestlers. They still don’t take care of the wrestlers the way they should. I think that’s a real shame.”

On WWE Putting Millions Into a New XFL: “They’re gonna put millions of dollars into the XFL, another one,” Hart continued. “We all know that’s being paid for by the wrestlers, by the wrestling industry. But none of that is gonna filter down to any of the wrestlers. That’s gonna filter down to a bunch of football players being padded with football contracts and they’re gonna have special doctors and they’ll get all the things the wrestlers never got. “They will be treated like the finest cattle you know animals, you know the treatment they will get is heads and tails above what the wrestlers will get. The wrestlers will get chicken feed at the bottom. If they get injured, they get sent off. It’s a very cut and dry world in pro wrestling.”
