Bret Hart: If I Was Healthy, At My Age, I’d Go Back
Bret Hart talks the possibility of one more match.
Hart retired from full-time active competition in early 2000 due to concussion issues, but did return for a handful of matches in 2010. His last match took place on the September 12, 2011 episode of WWE Raw when he teamed with John Cena to defeat Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez.
Hart has continued to battle health issues over the years, including suffering a stroke in 2002.
During a K&S WrestleFest signing, Hart was asked if there was a possibility that he could have one last match.
“If I had no issues with my concussion and stuff. If I never had a stroke, maybe. Let’s just say I was healthy, at my age, I’d go back. I would have taken it pretty seriously. I would have wrestled a lot more over the last ten years if I hadn’t been hurt. All of the dream matches that everyone talks about, I would have loved to done all of them. Daniel Bryan [Bryan Danielson], CM Punk, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Randy Orton,” he said.
Hart was ringside for Ric Flair’s advertised last match on July 31. Flair teamed with Andrade El Idolo to defeat Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett. During the signing, Hart said Flair did the best he could given his age.
Elsewhere during the signing, Hart commented on potentially working with Brock Lesnar while taking a shot at Goldberg. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
