Diana Hart blasts her brother Bret for British Bulldog accusations at SummerSlam 92

Diana Hart, the wife of the late British Bulldog, blasted her brother Bret in a post on social media for his account of their SummerSlam 1992 match, saying in multiple interviews that Bulldog was not in good shape that day because of the heavy drugs and alcohol usage.

There is bad blood between family members and Diana, who wrote a book a couple of decades ago accusing members of the Hart family of doing criminal activity, was even sued by her sister-in-law Martha Hart and it had to be pulled from shelves.

“Bret does not present his statements as opinions; he states them as facts. That distinction matters, because many of his claims—specifically about Davey’s physical or mental state at SummerSlam’92 are simply not true,” Diana wrote. “It is my opinion that Bret’s current misrepresentation of events at SS92 may be influenced by the stroke he suffered in the summer of 2002.”

She accused that Bret had a “full decade” to raise that issue with her husband prior to his death, but “the absurd and hurtful accusations” began after Davey was no longer alive to respond.

“Instead, Bret now frames, over and over, despite my appeals to him with facts, proof/records and critical reasoning to please restrain and refrain his slander, but he refuses,” she continued. “Bret now cites this incredible match as great solely because of his own alleged brilliance, assigning himself all credit while diminishing Davey’s invaluable role. Bret’s narrative is not supported by history, by documentation, or by what audiences can plainly see when they watch the match itself, without Bret’s overlapping slandering words.”

She went on to say that her husband’s performance that night showed zero evidence of drug or alcohol impairment and was even recovering from necrotizing fasciitis, a serious and life-threatening flesh-eating infection.

“Davey did not complain, seek sympathy, or disclose his condition to the public. He simply did the work. It is difficult to reconcile these FACTS with Bret’s retroactive claims, except to note a long-standing pattern of self-aggrandizement,” Diana continued.

Diana accused her brother of having a large ego, being a bully, and exaggeration of events, which predates both his stroke and the match in question.

“I base that on my lived experience growing up with him as my older brother and on decades of observed behaviour towards family members and colleagues,” Diana wrote. “What I will not accept is history being rewritten after the fact, especially when the person, (Davey)being totally discredited is no longer alive to defend himself. Davey was so good and loyal to Bret.”
