WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently appeared in the UK for a multi-date spoken word tour, and the following is what Hart had to say about his upcoming WWE Payback appearance, according to Total Wrestling Magazine:

“I do it to honour Nattie, I [have] no desire to be there no desire to be on TV,” Hart told the audience. “I’m happy to be there for Nattie but I’ve just had wrist surgery so it’s not a great time.

“It’ll be great to put Flair in the sharpshooter though.”

Hart’s appearance in Cardiff was on the same day that Chyna unfortunately passed away and ‘The Hitman’ was asked about what he thought about the former WWE star.

“It was sad, I think she should be in the Hall of Fame but I don’t think WWE will ever put her in there. Because of her relationship with Triple H.

Bret Hart’s The Sharpshooter Show podcast also airs exclusively on Wrestlezone Radio each week. You can listen to the latest episode and archived shows in the player below:
