“I Felt Bad”: Seth Rollins Buries the Hatchet After Being Called ‘Unsafe’ by His Childhood Hero and 5x WWE Champion

Bret Hart is a renowned WWE Hall of Famer, who gained tremendous fame and acclaim for his exceptional wrestling ability. He always speaks his mind and isn’t one to shy away from sharing his opinion. Hart’s critical remarks about Seth Rollins a while back seem to have had a significant negative effect on Rollins’ career. Ever since making his debut on the main roster in 2012, The Visionary has consistently been recognized as one of the top performers in the WWE. However, his abilities were strongly criticized by Bret Hart almost seven years ago.

Seth Rollins, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, recently discussed his current connection with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart.

Seth Rollins reconciles with Bret Hart

During an interview with Alex McCarthy for the Daily Mail, Seth Rollins was asked about the criticism he received from Bret Hart. Rollins confessed that it deeply hurt his feelings, but he had a conversation with Hart about it some time ago. Fortunately, their relationship has improved since then.

“I love Bret Hart, I’ll preface this. Bret didn’t really critique me, he called me ‘unsafe’. Bret’s going to spit the truth, he’ll tell you from what he saw he thought I was an unsafe worker, and I would say anybody I’ve ever been in the ring with would tell you the exact opposite, including the guys who have got injured during matches with me – that’s a fact I think.

In 2016, Bret Hart had a lot of negative things to say about Seth Rollins. He accused Rollins of being careless and dangerous in the ring. This criticism stemmed from incidents where Rollins accidentally broke John Cena’s nose and caused an injury to Sting during his last match in WWE.

Seth Rollins further said he approached Hart at a Hall of Fame induction ceremony. They both were backstage and Rollins went up to Bret and told him, “it really kind of hurt my feelings.”

Bret was someone Seth looked up to as a hero during his childhood, so it was especially painful to be criticized by him regarding his work and work ethic and how he treated others.“I felt bad and I don’t say that often,” he said.
