In a lot of ways, I ended up being a guy making little 15 to 20 minute movies each night as a wrestler. I was a stunt coordinator, director, and producer of an epic wrestling match. Wrestling turned into that career I never had as a movie maker. I got to tell these great stories as a wrestler.”

Bret Hart had a terrific career with amazing highs and terrible lows, but through it all he always maintained his love for professional wrestling and that’s what matters in the end.
