WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart was interviewed by the Daytona Beach News and commented on his future aspirations, saying "I'm working on another book — a novel. Maybe go back to film school. Maybe make movies — taking the ability I have to tell stories. I see a lot of wrestlers that go back — all they know is wrestling."

In regards to his health he stated "I feel really good. I'm close to a 90-95 percent recovery from the stroke. There's still some delay in movement on one side. I'm mostly concerned as to the toll wrestling took on my body. My back. My knees. I will need a knee replacement surgery in the next few months. Wrestling is a very physical job."
