As a future film student and author of a best-selling book, former WWE champion Bret Hart is looking forward to watching "The Wrestler" movie to see how the story of certain aspects of the wrestling business unfolds.

Although Hart believes the producers and director Darren Aronofsky "got the lifestyle down" from what he's heard, he's not sure if they accurately captured the highs of being a pro wrestler to complement the lows.

"I never found myself as a broken down, down-and-out, miserable wreck of a human being," Hart said on the Ringside Live radio show. "I escaped a pretty lousy ending.

Hart says he wrestled in huge arenas and lived a pretty good career in wrestling as an international star, and he went through trials with his stroke, but he's still able to function and live a normal life beyond the wrestling career that took up the first-half of his life.

Although he's removed himself from the wrestling business depicted in the movie, Hart says he still has a vested interest in watching Harry (D.H.) Smith and Teddy Hart's wrestling careers. Hart is confident Teddy's experiences in Mexico will help him mature and be humbled enough to listen to what people in WWE are telling him should he receive another opportunity.

As for Harry Smith, who is rumored to be returning to national WWE TV soon, Hart says he needs to show some personality and find a confidence boost within himself.

"Looking at him to come out of his shell a little bit and show some personality," Hart said about his nephew, the son of Davey Boy Smith. "Character will come out of him over time. Big, nice kid who is shy."

Hart says the way in which WWE randomly debuted him on TV without a back-story or sense of importance to his star presence made Smith question his own abilities. Failing a drug test certainly didn't help Smith, but he believes Smith's ability will eventually take over.

"WWE took away from their own product when he was brought in and (they) didn't give him character development," Hart said. "WWE is guilty of breaking his confidence."
