The following highlights are from a Bret Hart Question & Answer session which took place at today's NWA Legends Convention in North Carolina:
- Hart says he is over WWE, but hopes they don't forget what they did to him. To him, the "screwjob" was never a storyline and his heart will never be with WWE again. He said he'd rather work with TNA or someone else.
- When asked about HHH by a fan who got cursed at by Hunter for holding a Bret Hart sign, Hart said he was a "no good piece of s***"."
- Hart says he puts more blame on Shawn Michaels and Triple H rather than Vince McMahon. Hart says there was a code of trust among wrestlers which Michaels and Hunter both broke.
- Bret said if it had been anyone else in Montreal, he would have had no problem dropping the belt. He said his issue was with Shawn Michaels and also lamented about their locker room fight.
Reiterating what he's said in past interviews, Bret Hart told fans at the NWA Legends Convention that he would not return to take part in a WWE storyline. While the success of the DVD could help secure a future appearance, The Hitman would not be playing any sort of on-air character.
Bret would, however, consider an induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The wrestler also remains interested in issuing a farewell speech, but notes that his relationship with WWE is not yet at the point of arranging such an event.
As reported earlier, Bret Hart will be flying to WWE Headquarters to resume work on the WWE DVD this coming week. |

Despite Bret Hart saying he will never do anything ever in-terms of storyline, 95% of fans are still too stupid to understand that, and will continue claiming he'll wrestle or other bullshit that will never happen.

You gotta keep in mind, Bret is only about the 100000th guy to say that...and they all end up coming back. I'm not saying Bret will ever return, but him saying that doesn't make it gospel.

He's physically incapable of taking any kind of bump because of Goldberg's mule kick that nearly ripped his head off his body.
There's a small chance Hart will come back for a "non-wrestler" role with WWE (maybe 100,000 to 1 odds), but he hasn't wrestled for 6 years, and whenver he comments about it in his columns, he he says he'll never wrestle again. After this long, I believe him. There's no way he can repair the damage done to his neck, and that stroke in 2002 was the icing on the cake.

For what it is worth, I didn't mean that he would ever be in the ring again.

True. But let's pretend that this wasn't the internet age and we heard Hart was having talks with the WWE. Wouldn't you want that slight shimmer of mark within you to think that there is a chance? And when you saw Michaels lock-on the sharpshooter to Hogan twice, you want Hart to come as every fan is on their feet?
I know it won't happen. But we let ourselve be naive to think he might.

If the internet never existed? I wouldn't even know the Montreal Screwjob was real.

You didn't see Wrestling with Shadows?

Of course I have, but I had no idea about the documentary until I got the internet.
