BRET HART has revealed how he returned to the WWE in order to finally put the infamous Montreal Screwjob behind him.

The Hitman has long held a grudge over the 1997 incident, where WWE boss Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels colluded with referee Earl Hebner so that an unknowing Hart lost his world title.

However, 52-year-old Bret admits that he has mellowed with age and wants to move on.

The legendary star has made up with Shawn and is even set for some sort of match at this year's WrestleMania against McMahon.

He told Scripps News: "I want to move on.

"I made a big fuss out of all that happened. I wrote a book about it. There was a documentary.

"I held out from WWE for a long time because of my pride. In the end, I think I made my point.

"Some people feel it wasn't the right thing for me to go back. But there's only one person in Bret 'The Hitman' Hart's shoes and it's me.

"This is a lot of fun for me. It sure beats shovelling snow."

He added: "When I came back, I didn't know if the whole thing with Shawn would erupt again.

"But the truth is, Shawn has been real good with the whole thing.

"You can tell this is a weight lifted off his back, my back and I think even Vince to a certain degree.

"It feels like a new start."

Asked how his late brother Owen and father Stu would have reacted, Bret joked: "They'd say that hell froze over."
