Former WWF and WCW World champion Bret Hart was interviewed by Sky Sports in Great Britain while overseas promoting his autobiography. Highlights from the interview:

Writing His Book: "In a lot of ways the writing was really cathartic for me. I tried to let it take its own course. I never rushed anything. I found myself putting a full day just into writing a whole page."

Inducting Shawn Michaels into the WWE Hall of Fame: "Maybe if he wants to make himself feel better about it he should have the guts to pick up the phone and apologize. Then we'll see after that."

Montreal: "For me I don't really have much issue with it anymore. If you asked me that up until probably about a year ago I'd have probably said something different. But I've cooled off a bit now. I don't want to carry it around anymore. If [Shawn Michaels] wanted to apologize I would accept it. I'd move on but I wouldn't forget it."

Criticism He Took the Business Too Seriously: "Maybe I did take it all a bit too serious. But that's what made me special and hopefully makes people remember me as someone who was passionate about what I did and what I thought wrestling was really all about."

Hart noted that he's been thinking of writing a book about wrestlers in the 40s-50s based on some of the stories he's heard over his life. Hart also noted he'd like to turn his book into a film and that Brad Pitt's people requested a copy of the book from Hart, but he's never heard back from them after sending it. He also discusses his family, his famous match in the UK against Davey Boy Smith and much more.
