WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has never seen eye-to-eye with fellow HOFer Bret “Hitman” Hart. The 2 men’s infamous rivalry has led to harsh words, hair-pulling, and even a screwjob. The 2 men eventually reconciled within the 2000s, and their relationship has completely turned around, in line with Michaels.
“The last time [Bret and I] had a conversation was on the Hall of Fame last 12 months,” Michaels told The Ringer Wrestling Podcast recently. “We were in the identical dressing room and I helped him placed on his suspenders.”
Hart had never worn suspenders, and “The Heartbreak Kid” had loads of experience. While the 2 men are still friendly, the WWE Performance Center trainer doesn’t think Hart shall be training the following generation of WWE stars.
“I can not see Bret wanting to maneuver his entire life to Florida, or anything like that,” Michaels said, noting that he doesn’t know if the previous WWE Champion has ever been invited to teach within the Performance Center. “If he ever wanted to return down and do a seminar -but he’s never really shown interest in that form of stuff. But you would be crazy to think Bret Hart doesn’t add value…We would jump at the possibility [to have him in the WWE PC].”
Hart’s niece, Natalya, is currently running training seminar’s in her own training center, which have often featured stars from each AEW and WWE. The previous WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion called her training center a “love letter to wrestling.” Michaels noted that Hart has also not taken part in Natalya’s seminars either.
