The Rated-R Superstar spoke about how Bret Hart helped him, and several other Canadian wrestlers to cross the barrier and begin the journey in the largest entertainment platform in the industry.
“I think every Canadian kid who dreamt about becoming wrestlers, Bret made us realise it could become a reality. Here’s a Canadian guy, from Calgary. He was there and he was there doing it at the highest possible level. Now, he broke down the doors. Now, the wrestlers could come through. That’s really what it felt like. And fast forward a bunch of years and that’s how all of this started for me. Because of Bret.”

The Bret Hart biography almost didn’t happen
After The Montreal Screwjob, Bret Hart had sworn off WWE and Vince McMahon. The WWE Chairman had asked the referee to call for the bell even when there wasn’t a pinfall or submission during a match between Hart and Shawn Michaels. McMahon did not want Hart joining WCW while holding the WWE Championship belt.
Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke, and had to be hospitalized. It was this time when McMahon reached out to him and explained WWE wanted to make another biography with him, and include his best moments and matches.
