JM:
you grew up in the sport of wrestling, how old were you when you had your first
professional wrestling match?
HS:
I was 8 years old when I had my first professional wrestling match vs. Matt
Annis (Ted's brother R.I.P.)
JM:
Who has given you some of your best bouts so far?
HS: I would say TJ Wilson, Ted Hart, Dave Swift,
Davy Richards, AJ Styles, Hiroyoshi Tanahashi have all given me my best bouts
thus far.
JM: I know you have a lot of them but what are
some of your greatest highlights?
HS: Teaming up with my father one last time
before he passed away was a huge highlight in my career thus far. Getting the
opportunity to team with the likes of Jushin Lyger, and Masahiro Chono have
also been huge highlights in my career thus far as well.
JM:
I am sure growing up with a father like the British bulldog Davy Boy Smith, you
have seen a lot of his great Matches...which one stands out the most to you?
HS: Obviously the one that stands out the most
to me is the Summer slam 1992 match he had against Bret Hart. Some others
include his singles match against Owen Hart, Dynamite Kid, Shawn Michaels,
Kuniaki Kobayashi, and the Cobra. As well as tag team bouts with the Dynamite
Kid against the likes of Kroffat and Furnas, the Malenkos, Hansen and Gordy,
Beefcake and Valentine, and the Hart Foundation.
JM: You were present at the WWE Hall of Fame
when Your Uncle Bret The hit man Hart was inducted ... any thoughts or comments
on the whole controversy leading up to the event between Bret and Shawn
Michaels?
HS: I have no thoughts or comments on it, it's
really none of my business.
JM:
You signed a contract with the WWE to be on RAW in June, who do you look
forward to personally work with in the ring?
HS:
I really look forward to working guys like Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Hass,
Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and John Cena. I think with John Cena's heat with the
crowd, a match between him and I would be quite interesting.
JM:
What do you want to accomplish once you’re in the WWE?
HS: I want to be the youngest WWE heavyweight
champion of all time.
JM:
The Name Game
Teddy
Hart- Quick mover, natural charisma, entertaining to listen to
Bret The Hit man Hart- Without a doubt, the
best overall wrestler ever.
Your Father- A true great, and not just having
respect for him not just as a wrestler but obviously as a father. He taught me
a lot about this business.
Owen Hart- Very smooth in the ring, and a
great high flyer. Saw him do many things in the ring that was ahead of its
time. R.I.P.
Natalie Hart- I feel Nattie is one of the best
women wrestlers right now. She is very athletic and does a great bridge, when
her knee heals I think you'll be seeing her in the WWE.
Jim the Anvil- Jim is a very interesting
person. He was a part of one of the greatest wrestling tag teams – the Hart Foundation. Jim is doing fine these
days if anyone's wondering.
Jeff Jarrett- A good overall wrestler, a good
talker, and an open mind for promoting.
Shawn
Michaels- Great charisma, good seller, good bumper. One of my favorites.
Stu
Hart- A real legend in wrestling, but also as just a human being. He is someone
I have a lot of respect for.
Bruce Hart- Very good booking in the 80's. A
very intelligent man.
JM:
Your Mother Diana Hart was your manager at one point. Correct? How is she doing
these Days?
HS: I honestly can't remember when she was my
manager, but I do remember it happening vaguely. She is doing very well these
days.
JM: What's your opinion of TNA?
HS: I think the six sided ring has a very
unique look, and they have some really good workers. I wish them all the best.
JM:
What is the most painful experience you had to go through in the Biz?
HS: Probably the death of Owen Hart.
JM: If there was anything you can change about
wrestling today, what would it be?
HS:
If the business were more protected. Back in the day, not just anyone could get
into wrestling. Nowadays everyone and their dog wants to try wrestling because
they think it's "easy or fake."
JM: If you were not in wrestling, what would
you be doing?
HS:
I honestly have no idea. I would probably be bred into something else growing
up and most likely taken on another sport profession.
JM:
Do you have any advice for young fans including myself who dream of getting a
break in the sport?
HS:
Well, I would say make sure you get a reputable trainer with good credentials.
Also, keep in mind, Wrestling is not easy, and is not for everyone. So, you
have to know that coming in when you want to be a wrestler. Understand the ups
and downs, and that's all I can say about that. JM: Closing thoughts? HS: I
have no closing thought, but thanks for the interview.
