McMahon announced the news last month amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon have replaced the 76-year-old as WWE’s new co-CEOs, while Triple H is now in charge of creative. Hart famously fell out with McMahon following the Montreal Screwjob incident at Survivor Series 1997. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, The Hitman made it clear that he has not enjoyed the recent developments involving his former boss. “Like everybody else, I’m mostly just kind of surprised,” Hart said. “I don’t think anybody’s ever made as big a footprint as Vince McMahon. I feel kinda sad about it, actually. I know people probably think I would be gloating or happy to see him go through what he’s going [through], but I don’t. I feel bad that it happened, or whatever’s happened. I think his loss, or his absence from the business, will be sorely missed.” [0:48-1:20] Watch the video above to hear Bret Hart’s thoughts on Ric Flair’s last match.
