During an appearance on the Live Audio Wrestling radio show in Canada, Ric Flair sounded off on fellow WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, saying:

He is a pissant in the history of wrestling. He has the nerve to compare himself to me. Let's get realistic. If you put Bret Hart in your left hand and me in your right hand, compare the career...who is he? I wrestled everybody in the business, for an hour each night. Harley Race, Dory Funk, Jack and Jerry Brisco, who is Bret Hart? He is a legend in his own mind. He lives in his own little world...he screws his own family around. Who is Bret Hart? In my world he is a nobody

in my opinion if we are going to be realistic this ric flair need a check of reality all those names that flair mention he wrestle bret hart also wrestle them also bret put a lot of great matches with the likes of roddy rowdy piper,david boy smith,shawn michaels,stone cold steve austin how many great matches flair put when he was in wwe? or when he was in nwa maybe with ricky steamboat and harley race but not to compare it with the ones bret had and ric flair talks about long career yes maybe he had a long career than bret hart but with pauses he retire for months and then come back then retire for another months then come back again bret hart in his career he never took breaks he was very dedicated  working hard everyday he never took time off and when it comes to wrestling hability and skills ric flair is a joke compare to him
