Bret: I've cooled off a bit, took things too seriously
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.

There's always a post ur view. Write something proper smark so they don't understand, they need to publish something.

I am biased towards anyone I marked for from the early 90's to early 2000's. They are all gods. Taker, Austin, Rocky Maivia, O&B Hart, Michaels, Trips, Jericho, Flair, Rick Martel, Davey Boy, The Brood. oh someone stop me. I miss those days.

But now we have some good lads. Jsut wish they could go a bit crazier than they allowed to.

I'd seriously love someone to give Shawn Michaels all Bret Hart's contact details, get them talking, get Bret to put Shawn in the Hall of Fame and be done with all this fucking Montreal nonsense that everyone else aside from these two men are obsessed with.

Gotta head to work in a minute, I'll have to read that later. I've been meaning to read Bret's book. I think if anyone should have their life story turned into a movie, it's Bret. On another note, I recently found two of my old Bret Hart shirts, and I think they fit me better now then they did when I was 14. Now I'd be okay with Bret inducting HBK, but I agree with Bret: Michaels needs to publicly apologize to Bret in Montreal live on Raw, then offer to shake hands.

Even though I love Bret Hart, and have nothing but the highest respect for him, I've always been in the middle in regards of the screwjob, and can see things from both sides point of view very clearly. I think Bret should have lost to HBK, but have Michaels cheat to win, then allow Bret to just bear the tar out of him afterwards. Then the next night on Raw, Bret and Shawn wrestle in a non-title match just to settle the score, with Bret getting the win via sharpshooter. I think that would have been the best way to handle it.

He says he's cooled down and is over it now, but the way he talks about Michaels apologizing still sounds bitter to me.

I'd give my left nut to see HBK/Bret in the ring for a segment somewhere in Canada where HBK would apologize for what happened in MTL.....they'd shake hands, then Bret would sucker him to a huge pop..... HBK would get up, dust himself off and nod, as he knew he got what was coming to him....

It is. The best one I have read, easily. Sure that's coming from a Bret fan but he writes about the industry more in depth than anyone else, with a ton of knowledge about it dating back to the early days of the "sport".

I thought it was probably better than Foley's books but then I read Jericho's after it and that was better to me on a whole different level. I think if I read any of the 3 now, I'd say it was the best. But generally if someone told me one out of that 3 (or 4 with Foley's second too) were the best then I wouldn't argue.

Or Vince could have stuck to the plan and been a man of his word. Gone to DQ then had Bret drop the title on RAW.

You should see 'Wrestling with Shadows'. Shawn and HHH show who they really are as they swear black and blue to Bret they had nothing to do with it. In fact, they're just as angry as Bret.. They can't believe what happened!.

The best part is that they kept up that story for a good 10 years, because they were so scared of the other wrestlers finding out

HHH is a coward and a manipulator, whether wwe marks admit it or not.

You should see 'Wrestling with Shadows'. Shawn and HHH show who they really are as they swear black and blue to Bret they had nothing to do with it. In fact, they're just as angry as Bret.. They can't believe what happened!.

The best part is that they kept up that story for a good 10 years, because they were so scared of the other wrestlers finding out

HHH is a coward and a manipulator, whether wwe marks admit it or not.
I've seen it. Heck, I got it on VHS back in 1998. I agree, Vince should not have lied, but I also cannot help but think Bret should have just jobbed.

I don't believe Bret would have shown up on WCW TV with the WWF belt, but it would have been bad if Eric Bischoff went out on Nitro, and announced that their newest wrestler was the WWF champion. I know he said he'd never do that, but I honestly don't believe him. That is the type of thing he would have done. Vince had to protect the WWF.

So yeah, I see things from both sides, and I'm undecided. I respect Bret, and I respect the WWF. They needed to work out something that could have helped both sides out.

There's no way Bret Hart would have done that. Anyway, months before he was set to leave Bret said he'd drop to the belt to the Undertaker, Kane, Austin, Mankind, Vader and others... Vince easily could have had Michaels go over one of them at survivor series instead.

On the other hand the Santina/Khali/JR segment from Backlash (2009) tells you all you need to know about Vince McMahon. The only point of the segment was to humiliate and work up JR. In the process burying Beth, Santino, JR, (inadvertently Cole when JR owned him - 'Who fed you that line cole?') Khali and the women's division in general, topped off with some hearty racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Yeah. Vince is a stand-up kinda dude...

Oh, I agree. I guess Vince wanted HBK to have the belt because he was wanting him as the top heel, and he thought he could make more $ with a Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels PPV main event match. However, I think Vince owed it to Bret to let him leave on his terms. Bret could have had his last match in the Survivor Series style match where he could have teamed with the British Bulldog and company to take on Steve Blackmen, and the other Americans.

As for the title, I believe Vince told Bret about him wanting to end their deal the night after they did Raw at MSG. It was around the fall, and the show ended with the Undertaker chokeslamming both men.

Bret couldn't have droped the title to the Undertaker because the Undertaker was right in the early stages of working a program with Kane.

The Patriot got injuried around that time, so he was out.

I think Vince would have wanted to make a big deal out of Kane, Mankind or Austin being the champion, and not have them lose the belt right away, so they're out too.

Vader, who Bret had worked with a few times would have been the ideal one to lose the title to. They could have wrestled each other at the October PPV with Bret losing to Vader.

....But Vince did the HBK/Vader thing before. Plus, the two of them had a legit bad history. In 96', they had issues with each other. I bet Vader would have no issue jobbing, but he'd probably stiff work Michaels a bit, and hurt him a bit, and Michaels would have frowned at that, and I doubt they would have made as much cash, which is probably what Vince would have said of that angle was offered.

It would have been cool and entertaining to see the bad-ass babyface Vader taking on a heel DX Shawn Michaels however.

Not really. Bret got to where he was due to his hard work and talent. That always rises to the top and Vince noted this and had no choice but to make him the man for quite some time. That's just smart business.

In a way, Bret was keeping the company afloat too, during it's difficulties. Without top quality stars, Vince is left alone as simply a big time promoter with nothing to work with.

Ken shamrock would have been the perfect credible (UFC) transitional champ.
It was Michaels/Ken the next night in ottawa, I belive for the belt.

How about the fact that Vince was man enough to let him know he couldn't afford it and told him to go to WCW for more money, and do not tell me Vince didn't think it would hurt the WWF for Bret to go to WCW.

not trying to start shit because I hate this topic, but I'm just trying to see your point.

Yes, Vince told him to go to WCW, but he still had a signed contract. He still owed Bret the money. Again, just trying to see your point.


Anyway, again, everyone was wrong on this, but there's a lot of levels of wrong. Thinking today, I don't understand why Vince had to do it on live TV. Why didn't he just strip Bret of the Title before the PPV? Kind of a new thought I've had the past few years
