Bret Hart was offered a considerable amount of money by WCW. Following the Montreal Screwjob, he left WWE for WCW.
Bret Hart spoke to Steve Austin for an upcoming episode of the Broken Skull Sessions. He talked about regretting the decision of leaving WWE for WCW. According to Hart, WCW simply did not know how to use him and his opinion has not changed.
“There was so much talent I could have worked with—Booker T, Hogan—I should have worked with Hogan, right away, I should have had Hulk Hogan in a sharpshooter and done some big numbers with him. I went into WCW, I had more heat”
“I had wrestled you at WrestleMania 13, I beat Undertaker at SummerSlam, I knocked Vince out, I didn’t really lose to Shawn. I had so much heat and they just didn’t know what the hell to do with me.”
Hart is a two-time WWE Hall Of Famer. Whatever decision he made, it was his own and he cannot change that fact. He still regrets being enticed by WCW’s money and leaving WWE during that time.
