Bret Hart Doesn't Blame Vince McMahon for Death of His Brother

Bret HartAfter being away from the WWE for more than decade, Bret Hart has returned for one final match as he'll face WWE Chairman Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 26 on March 28.

Not only did Hart have his own differences with McMahon over the way he parted from the company years ago, he has also been upset about the death of his brother Owen who died during a stunt in 1999. Owen Hart was supposed to be lowered to the ring from the rafters but a problem occurred with the harness he was wearing and he fell over 70 feet into the ring.

During an interview with CTV in Canada, Hart eased off his bitterness toward McMahon on that subject. "Clearly, my brother Owen's death was just a bad accident," said Hart. "You can't hold Vince McMahon directly accountable for that. It was someone underneath who didn't know what they were doing."

The 'Hitman' also spoke about his upcoming match with McMahon and his expectation going into it after being out of the ring since 2000.

"Me going back to the ring and doing what I'm going to do this year, as much as I wish, it will never be anything like what I used to do years ago," he said. "But at the same time, it should be entertaining. It should be a lot of fun. It will be fun for me just to stand on the top of the ramp or whatever and to walk to the ring will be a fun feeling."
