Bret Hart and his wife have already arrived in Chicago for Saturday's WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony. Hart, who has done several interviews, recently did another extensive one with SI.com. In the interview, Hart reiterates that he will not appear at WrestleMania 22 and would rather be remembered for his in-ring career then a cameo appearance. Below are some highlights from the SI.com interview:

Hart said that his stroke several years ago opened the doors to his relationship with Vince McMahon, saying "[McMahon] gave me a nice talk, and I found myself in an emotional state and told him that I didn't want to be forgotten. I didn't want everything I ever did to be buried in a basement somewhere. It was the first time we really talked since I left the company. He talked to me about the Hall of Fame during the call, and I told him it was something I always wanted to do despite everything that had happened."

He continued to express anger towards Shawn Michaels by saying, "If I even see Shawn I'll probably get back in the cab and you'll have your April Fool's. I won't have him around. I won't allow myself to be agitated by his presence. If I have to deal with that, I'd rather not even be there."

Bret noted that he is nervous about the upcoming appearance. "I'll be honest. I don't mind telling you that I'm really nervous about this whole thing," he said. "I have a very serious fear of being speechless. Because of my stroke I get very choked up and it's not easy to walk out in front of a large audience that's cheering for me like that. When you have these emotional meltdowns, you can't stop them; they keep coming. You'll be talking to someone at the gift shop or while getting a coffee and someone can say the most innocent thing to you, like, 'You're going to be fine,' and all of a sudden you become this blubbering wreck of tears, and it would get to be embarrassing after a while. I worry about that. I have to make sure that during my Hall of Fame speech I don't talk too much about anything that's too emotional or else I'll fall apart."
