Back in 2016, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart made controversial comments about The Fabulous Freebirds. Hart said they never drew money in WWE:

“Why have they been overlooked when you can induct The Freebirds who never did squat in WWE? Ever. Never drew any money, never did anything. When I remember The Freebirds, they were all drunk and passed out at the gate at one of the airports in my first day in WWF. None of them even made the show that day, they were too drunk to make their plane.” (H/T WrestlingInc)

The Hitman dubbed them "screw-ups" and seemed upset at the fact that Owen Hart was not in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Hart later realized he had gone too far with his comments and decided to apologize to Hayes. The WWE Hall of Famer replied to the apology via a wholesome tweet, saying he happily accepts it:

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
