WWE Hall of Famer Bret "the Hitman" Hart did a quick interview with Arda Ocal of The Score and Baltimore Sun, where he continued his honest opinions of Triple H. After speaking on his short role in the WWE's Royal Rumble PPV and being able to "rub off on" Alberto del Rio, Hart mentioned that he stands by what he said about Triple H, and that he "wouldn't put him in the top 1,000 greatest wrestlers".
In regards to the 13-time World Champion one day taking over for Vince McMahon as the head of WWE, Bret admitted, "let's hope he can, but if he can't it won't be any great surprise to me. I've never seen any great genius come out of him at all."
