Hart talked about his experience in directing and said that as a wrestler he used to make 15-20 minute movies every night.

The Excellence of Execution then went on to talk about his experience in the world of directing, stating that he had worked as a stunt coordinator, director, and producer of an epic wrestling match. For Hart, his love of movie-making evolved into a career as a pro wrestler.

“In a lot of ways, I ended up being a guy making little 15 to 20 minute movies each night as a wrestler. I was a stunt coordinator, director, and producer of an epic wrestling match. Wrestling turned into that career I never had as a movie maker. I got to tell these great stories as a wrestler,” said Hart. (H/T- Wrestling Inc)

“It will always mean a lot when you’re celebrated and honored amongst your peers and fellow wrestlers. The WWE Hall of Fame always meant a lot to me. This is even higher to me in a sense.
