Bret talks about WM22

Mr.Nice Guy

There's a good interview in the Calgary Sun with Bret Hart where he states quite clearly that he won't be at WM22 as well as lot of other stuff. You can read it here

Bret on Vince...

"I carried around a lot of hard feelings until I had my stroke. Then, I just couldn't worry about that stuff anymore. All I could worry about was getting myself out of a wheelchair.

"Vince called me in my hospital bed and I told him I don't want to be forgotten for everything I did. He said he'd make sure I'd be remembered."

"I think a lot of it is a sign of good faith."

"I don't think either of us has ever really forgiven, but Vince and I have made peace to a certain extent."

Bret on those who criticise him for entering the Hall of Fame...

"No one is more tuned into that opinion than I am."

"I know there are people that feel I sold out, but I don't see it that way. I feel I have a right to be remembered."

Bret on not appearing at Wrestlemania 22...

"I'm not trying to be difficult.

"I just wouldn't want anyone to think I have finally got in bed with them enough that I can accept what they did to me. At this point, I'm set to fly out of Chicago early in the morning, before Wrestlemania."

"Oh, they're certainly going to try to sell me on Wrestlemania between now and then.

"They're going to sit me down and talk to me about all kinds of stuff. But I'm not planning on doing anything more than walk out in front of people at the Hall of Fame. That's my only promise."

Bret on signing a contract for the ceremony...

"They've sent me a contract and I don't have any intention of signing it. I know what contracts mean to them. I had a contract and they screwed me over on it. Now they come back to me with a contract 10 years later and ask me to sign it?

"For what?"

Bret on Shawn Michaels appearing at the ceremony...

"I've basically told them that if I see Shawn, I'll get back in a cab and go straight to the airport. They'll have to get him to do my induction speech. I just feel that there's too much anger for me. Too combustible."

Bret on his induction...

"I never did get to say goodbye.

"This will give me some closure. I don't carry around any bad blood anymore. I just want to enjoy my life. I have the whole second half of it ahead of me and I plan to make it just as interesting as the first."

Good interview and it seems unless Vince manages to hypnotise him, Bret's not appearing at Wrestlemania.

I think there is talk of doing a second Bret Hart dvd with matches that did n't make the first one. I'd imagine that won't happen for a while given that the first one is still selling really well.

There's another interesting Bret Hart interview out which can be read here.

He talks in more detail about the ceremony. Worth a look.
