The Charleston Post and Courier had an interview up with Shawn Michaels this past weekend with Michaels talking about a variety of topics ranging from the 1997 Survivor Series, his faith and more.

In regards to Bret Hart, Michaels added quote, "When I talk about Bret, I can only talk about what has helped me get over this thing. You have to take responsibility for yourself and you have to look at yourself and confess your sins. He needs to confess his part. Vince is at peace with it because he confessed his part. I'm at peace because I've confessed and taken responsibility for my part. Bret will never have peace with this until he has the guts to look at me and the wrestling public and do his part. There's no disgrace in that."

When the topic of Bret Hart possibly being involved in the WWE Hall of Fame in the near future was mentioned, Michaels added, "Honestly I wish he would. Whatever it is that's keeping him from coming back - it's hard to believe it's still gotta be me - but if it is then I won't go. He ought to come back and end his career on a different note. Right now he's single-handedly made himself famous by being the Survivor Series guy and the bitter guy. I would want him to close his career differently. So if took me not going to the banquet to make that happen, I'm fine with that."

Michaels also discussed his own faith and how others have given him a hard time about it given his very documented past. "I don't know what to say at this point. Not just Bret, but a lot of people, including Hulk Hogan, have given me a hard time about my faith. What I can say is this. I am extremely flattered that after four-and-a-half years of being a born-again Christian, that everyone expects more out of me and my walk with the Lord than they expect from themselves. But I, too, do the best I can. I'm not Jesus, but I'm doing my best on a daily basis in a secular environment."
