Former five-time WWE Champion & WWE Hall Of Famer, Bret "Hitman" Hart, was a guest on the special 7/25 edition of Monday Night Mayhem. Bret discussed his recent dealings with the WWE, as well as some of the current projects he is working on. Bret did not refuse to answer any of the questions thrown at him during this 30+ minute interview which is now playing for FREE in streaming audio on the AudioWrestling.com & MondayNightMayhem.com websites.

Here are some of the highlights from this interview:

*"The Hitman" will be at the Capitol Legends Fanfest in Rockville, MD from August 11th-13th. He said that will feel like one of the fans when he gets to see legends, such as "Superstar" Billy Graham. For more information on the entire weekend's fanfest lineup (including guest lineup, autograph sessions, Q&A times, & much more), log onto www.CapitolLegends.com.

*Bret is still friends with both original "members" of The Hart Foundation ("The Mouth Of The South" Jimmy Hart & Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart), and doesn't remember any time where he had any problem with either of them through all the years they toured together.

*Bret is asked about the current status of tag team wrestling. Bret thinks there have not been many spectacular teams the last few years. Bret thinks tag team wrestling is an art form, with its own psychology from standard one-on-one matches.

*Bret thinks the talent in the business today is very strong, but the creativity elements outside of the ring is lacking.

*Bret puts over Brock Lesnar and says he misses watching him on television. He was upset when Lesnar decided to leave the WWE.

*Bret says he is glad "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair still can make a living in the business, but he wishes that when Flair & Hulk Hogan get TV time that it could be used more creatively -- instead of seeing them do the same things over & over.

*Bret says Harry Smith (son of the late "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith) has all of the potential in the world and deserves to get a lot of success in the business.

*Bret says he was approached about being more involved in WrestleMania 22 but it was not in any angle with Shawn Michaels as rumored. Bret says he can't wrestle anymore and he is not interested in being brought in a commissioner role.

*Bret wishes he was still capable of getting back in the ring to wrestle so that the Survivor Series '97 angle could be played off as a huge elaborate work that was years in the making.

*Bret was asked about Vince McMahon now owning most of the classic footage from many of the past wrestling organizations -- including the recently purchased World Class Championship Wrestling. Bret says his dealings with the WWE on his personal DVD project went very well. Bret says he didn't like The Ultimate Warrior DVD, and he felt bad for how it ruined a lot of fans perception of the Warrior.

*Bret thinks wrestling is still waiting for its next phenomenon like "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan was in the 80's.

*Bret will be playing the role of the Genie in an "Aladdin" play in Canada this fall. The complete Canadian tour lineup can be found at Bret's official website, www.BretHart.com

*Bret has a book in development that will be released in 2007.

A few interesting tibits in there, what you guys think?
