WWE
Hall of Famer Bret "Hit Man" Hart spoke to Brian Fritz of Fanhouse.com
this week to hype WrestleMania XXVI on Sunday. Hart called his return to
WWE "kind of a surreal feeling" and said he was surprisingly not
nervous at all once he walked onto television.
Here are some highlights of what Bret said about:
His
Relationship with Vince McMahon: "We're pretty respectful of one
another. I think there's some genuine ... I think he feels bad for what
happened. I think in a lot of ways Vince was a big fan. Vince McMahon is
the world's biggest wrestling fan. He loved all the work I contributed.
The only thing Vince loves more than wrestling is his money and somehow
that's where we ended up having a lot of problems. We're all right as
far as ... it's sort of a mutual respect. He's done a lot for me and
done a lot for my family and the wrestling world and wrestling industry.
He's just got a funny way of doing business sometimes."
His
Relationship with Shawn Michaels: "Well, I don't know if we're ... I
think we're respectful of one another and we both know for whatever the
circumstances and there's lots and lots of reasons why we collided the
way we did. Once upon a time we were good friends. When I took a step to
forgive everything that happened and shake his hand, I think it was
very real when it was done on TV. I think Shawn was really moved by that
and he understood it took a big man to take that kind of step forward
to him.
I think they should have taken that step towards me. I
think it was pretty much understood that the hostilities and hard
feelings I had were so strong that nobody ever made that attempt. I knew
that Shawn had changed as a person and he had been helpful to my niece
(Natalya) and my nephew (David Hart Smith). I just thought it was high
time to take all that weight off his back and say it happened, let's
forget about it. Let's move on and try to maybe do something positive."
