Ric Flair called Bret Hart a "piss-ant" in an interview, saying Hart's career doesn't match up to him in any comparison. Flair based his statement on opponents he's wrestled, how long he was on top, and wrestling for decades in Japan.

Flair made the comments on the July 19 episode of Live Audio Wrestling. He seemed almost shocked to even hear Bret Hart's name mentioned in the same interview time as his.

The LAW hosts ask Flair about his appearance at Ring of Honor on Saturday, then suggested it will be "quite a good mixture" with Bret Hart there on Friday in Toronto.

Flair paused for three tense seconds and said, "I did not know that, but I'm happy for him." Apparently Flair was not aware that Hart would be at the ROH shows this weekend.

"I have no problem (with Bret), he has a problem with me," Flair said in regards to the post-WWE feud between the two stars. "I tell the truth and he can't tell the truth."

Flair was only getting warmed up in his claims, as Flair suggested Hart is a figment of his imagination and believes his own hype. "He lives in his own little world," Flair said.

"He's a piss ant in the history of wrestling. I'm offended when people even begin to compare my career," Flair said. "Even Shawn (Michaels), Hunter (Triple H) are all offended. Who would compare Bret Hart's career to mine?"

Flair paused during his rant and said he hopes Hart hears his comments. (Hart had been on the LAW episode earlier in the show.)

Flair added that Hart was a mid-card wrestler in WWE for 15 years. He closed his rant-turned-promo: "Spread the word. Naitch is coming to Toronto. Thank God I'll be there Saturday night on the good night."

Before being asked about Hart, Flair said he would only come out of retirement to wrestle overseas if he had WWE and Shawn Michaels's blessing. He seemed almost hesitant to talk about the reported "big money" available to him overseas and stopped short of saying there were some complications.
