Bret Hart comenta Montreal Screwjob

A estação de rádio NZPWI conduziu recentemente uma entrevista com o lendário Bret Hart, na qual voltou a abordar o famoso Montreal Screwjob. Algumas passagens de Bret sobre o assunto:

"It always hurt me that I was accused of never getting over what happened in Montreal. Of course it was a big deal, of course it felt good when I cold-cocked Vince… and of course it took a long time to get over the betrayal. But I can honestly say, now, I have forgiven Vince. He made his decision and I don't regret my actions; I feel I carried myself with an integrity that is consistent across my career, the film, my book – you get the same character with me – but I honestly don't know that I could ever forgive Hunter [HHH] or Shawn.

If there was a knock at the door now and it was Shawn, I honestly wouldn't know what to do. He was at the Hall of Fame ceremony when I was inducted, but he got up and left when I came to the podium; they had a word with him beforehand and so at least he was respectful of that. I made it clear that if he got within a few hundred meters of me I'd be back on the plane so fast.

I'm definitely at peace – and I guess the book is a big factor, sure. But the thing that got it started for me was when Vince agreed to release the DVD of my matches. I remember worrying that I might get stitched up, they might make some jokes, but I was so thrilled with it. For me it was about letting the matches speak for themselves and for a while I was worried they would be locked up. I'm just thrilled that people can see them again, or see them for the first time. The Hitman was an important character. And the DVD, my book and my appearances to sign autographs, to speak at book launches, I guess it's all part of reclaiming my legacy."
