Road Dogg has apologized for sharing his opinion.
Road Dogg began trending on Twitter after he said on his Oh You Didn't Know podcast, "I don't think Bret Hart is a great wrestler. I think I was a better sports entertainer than Bret was. That's where the money is."
Dogg said that Hart is a "great worker" and a better worker than him. "He worked circles around me." He also admitted he didn't feel he was a good wrestler.
In a YouTube exclusive, Road Dogg clarified his comments.
"I didn't mean to stir it up. People are saying, 'He's just trolling.' No, Disco Inferno trolls, I've seen his Twitter account. He trolls. These are my legitimate feelings that I thought I put out there as honestly as I could," he said.
When asked, "You didn't think Bret Hart was a great wrestler, that's fair to say?"
Dogg replied, "That is fair to say. I feel that way today, even though everybody has been angry at me on Twitter. I still feel the same way, but it's just my opinion. I'm sorry I shared an opinion on a platform I was given to share my opinion."
He continued, "As an entertainer, if you asked me to go out there and entertain a crowd, I would have different ways to do that than grappling and wrestling. That's what I meant and I stand by that. If you disagree, cool we can have a conversation. I don't think it's an argument worth having because nobody wins, it's just my opinion."
Road Dogg closed by explaining that he and Bret looked at wrestling in a different way and that he'd be willing to do more comedy while Bret was more serious.
"Bret and I have totally opposite philopshies on wrestling. I love the gaga and sports entertainment. I don't love the ground game. I don't think I'm in the minority when I say that. I also stated Bret was the most over guy, the first over guy I ever saw. It blew my mind that a wrestler could be that over. I said a lot of things on this podcast that I feel like if people gave it their time...I'm not giving you clickbait, don't click, I don't give crap. If you're interested, and you're taking time out of your day to comment on social media about how stupid I am, that's cool. I am pretty stupid, I'll be honest. I did a lot of dope and got hit in the head with chairs a lot. I don't have very good common sense. However, I've been doing this a minute and I feel it's okay for me to share my opinion. If it's not, please let me know. You took the time to comment on Twitter. Give it a listen. You're going to disagree with a lot of things I say, but surely you'll understand and identify that I'm saying it with respect and from an honest place. if you don't, you're the bad guy in this situation, not me. I just shared my opinion. If you ain't down with that, I got two words for ya, suck it," he stated.
That's just like your opinion, man.
