After Major Controversy Bret Hart Threatened To Disown His Own Blood – See What Happened

Bret hart is one WWE legend known for his style of wrestling and his out speaking ability. Bret Hart lost the WWE Championship to Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1997 after Vince McMahon changed the finish without informing The Hitman. While Bret went on to join WCW, Owen stayed with WWE until he tragically passed away in 1999.

According to Vince Russo, Owen Hart said Bret Hart threatened to disown him if he continued to work for WWE after the Montreal Screwjob.

Russo reflected on a phone call he had with Owen five days after Survivor Series. The former WWE writer said Owen encouraged him to speak to Bret:

“Bro, he’s hysterical, he’s hysterical, upset hysterical. ‘Vince, Vince, you’ve gotta call Bret, you’ve gotta call Bret. He’s threatening to disown me as a brother if I come back to the company. Vince, you’ve gotta call Bret.’ Bro, that’s not in my place to call Bret! So I said, ‘Owen, you’ve gotta call Vince [McMahon], bro.’ He goes, ‘No, I tried calling Vince. I can’t get a hold of Vince. Vince [Russo], you need to call Bret,’” Russo said.

Vince Russo said he would not have called Bret Hart if anyone other than Owen Hart had requested him to do so.

During the phone call, Bret told Russo that he felt like showing up to the post-Survivor Series episode of RAW with a gun. According to the former WWE writer, Bret was upset and the Montreal Screwjob incident had “really, really affected him.”
