Hart spoke with TJRWrestling Radio at length about various feuds he's had over the years and who he'd like to wrestle if he had another chance.
Hart talked at length about his memorable feud with his brother Owen Hart in 1994 that led to clashes at WrestleMania X and SummerSlam of that year.

"We had one match put together before we got to The Garden," Hart said. "I remember it was the Thursday or Friday before we left for WrestleMania I called him up and we went through the match at my dad's house. The match we were going to present was going to be a classic match with Owen as a bit of a babyface. The more I thought about it the more I realized the consequence of the mistake of being wrong. There was a strong possibility that Owen was going to become the babyface in the match and we changed it so I told Owen he had to be the heel for sure. I told him: 'You need to do everything you can to be the villain and you cannot mess this up for yourself. If you turn babyface that's not what they want they want to do with you. You've got to get over as a heel.'"
Hart also had a feud with Jerry "The King" Lawler that pretty much spanned a good portion of "The Hitman's" career and he told the program that he enjoyed his work with him.
"The feud with Jerry Lawler was one of the best feuds I ever had," Hart said. "He was the perfect heel and kept his heat. People hated him. I remember we had the Kiss My Foot match [at King of the Ring 1994] and it was the best match on the Pay-Per-View for sure."
Hart also touched on his program with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 in 1997 that led to Hart coming in as a face and Austin as a heel but both leaving with switched roles after the match.
"I remember we got to the building and started talking about what we were going to do," he said. "The submission match kind of limits you with no pinfalls. It changes a lot of the dynamics of the pace of the match. You have to use submission holds for the highlights of the match. We just went in there not knowing what they wanted. I thought the way we started it was perfect like gun fighters staring each other down. Steve was great with how he tackled me right off the bat. There are so many things I love in the match that stand out today. There's no comedy or laughing, it's dead serious. It's like a school fight with two guys fighting in the back of the school. It was a hell of a fight. The psychology of the match was just perfect."
Lastly, Hart spoke about who he would like to work with that he never got a chance to.
"I would have loved to have worked with Kurt Angle," he said. He would have been a lot of fun to be in the ring with. I would love to wrestle John Cena, especially the Bret Hart of 1997 that was a heel against John Cena the All American good guy. For the third guy I would have to say CM Punk. Punk would have been a perfect guy for me to work with. He might have to carry me through the match with him as the heel. I miss him on the shows. I hope he makes some kind of comeback one day."
Hart took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in the pouring rain in his backyard in Calgary and he challenged fellow wrestlers Ric Flair and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper:
