Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Check this out, fellas.... Bret "The Hitman" Hart Possibly making a return to World Wrestling Entertainment- 4/6/03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With all of these former WWE stars returning (Diesel, Sable, Piper), there are reports that none other than Bret "The Hitman" Hart could be the latest in a series of surprise returns. On his official website, Bret spoke on how much he enjoyed Wrestlemania 19, and that he was glad that the WWE's taken the direction of their company back to wrestling. Bret has always been outspoken about not liking the direction the WWE has taken it's programming in recent memory but now that more emphasis is being placed on wrestling and the fact that Bret & Vince appear to have buried the hatchet for the most part, it could lead to a return from Hart even if it's just a one-time only appearance to say goodbye or something. Bret Has said that he would like to make a one time appearance to give a farewell speech and say good-bye to the fans. We Will bring you more information as we find out. Thoughts?

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted April 7, 2003 It seems someone took Bret's Mania comments and created a whole news item out of pure speculation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 7, 2003 It's not a "comeback" if all he'd be doing is giving a retirement speech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jester Report post Posted April 7, 2003 If I were Bret Hart, I'd stay as far away from wrestling as possible, assuming he doesn't need the money. How many times has he taken it right up the ass thanks to wrestling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted April 7, 2003 It seems someone took Bret's Mania comments and created a whole news item out of pure speculation. that's exactly what it is. all the facts in this piece were things i already knew, & the author just put them together with this nebulous claim of "oh, maybe he'll be coming back sometime soon." what's the source for this, out of curiosity?

Guest Quik Report post Posted April 7, 2003 No. Unless he needs the money, Bret should stay far and away from WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Bret has said in the past that he would like to come back to give a thank you/farewell speech - but he said it wouldn't happen because it would be out of place... However, a Hitman DVD is said to be in the works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 7, 2003 It wouldn't be out of place if they did it during a Raw in Calgary or even Montreal. You could just have McMahon pulling another screwjob and Bret Hops the rails...Clocks McMahon... Raises the hand of the guy that was playing Bret...and he takes the Microphone and thanks his fans and says Goodbye for good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Bret has been trying to get pictures and videos from Vince ever since he left. If Vince wants to use that to make him come back and work angles, Bret will have no choice but to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 7, 2003 I thought they struck a Deal for the Video Rights a year back or so? My Only ? is this...How much power does Bret have on this DVD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted April 7, 2003 I thought they struck a Deal for the Video Rights a year back or so? My Only ? is this...How much power does Bret have on this DVD? I thought I heard it was a handshake deal, I may be wrong though. If that's the case, a handshake deal with Vince only works in Vince's favor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Bret wants to be remembered for more than just "the guy who got screwed in Montreal" - he wants his great matches to be shared with wrestling fans. Vince knows that a Hitman DVD would make a shitload of money, and Bret would want it done right, so I don't see Vince having THAT much imput/influence on the process. He would probably want Bret to help mold the History in McMahonian terms, and would probably want Bret himself to show up on the DVD (Bret probably does too, from the sound of it). But in terms of match content - Bret would probably have a good say on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted April 7, 2003 On his official website, Bret spoke on how much he enjoyed Wrestlemania 19, and that he was glad that the WWE's taken the direction of their company back to wrestling I'm not seeing that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Him liking the creative direction doesn't mean he will be back... and he's in no shape to wrestle after that stroke anyway I'm sure. I would still mark out if I'm wrong, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Yeah...Enjoying the show is one thing...Likely he was in Mark mode and respected the talent that wrestled... He knows he isn't coming back in THAT shape...He wants people to go "Damn, I wish he would wrestle one last match for us" instead of "Wow...I can't believe how sad he is...He should stay away for good"...

Guest godthedog Report post Posted April 8, 2003 On his official website, Bret spoke on how much he enjoyed Wrestlemania 19, and that he was glad that the WWE's taken the direction of their company back to wrestling I'm not seeing that it's in his calgary sun column. somebody started a thread with the colum in it. if you can't find that, they should have it at www.slam.ca in the wrestling section.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2003 What matches would everybody want on a two disc DVD? Also a McMahonian history DVD program would have a weird ending without Bret coming back, is he at peace with being screwed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 8, 2003 If Bret comes back it will be like the mid 90's again...we got all the key players except for Hall, and a couple of others, but hell we even have Hogan to play the Bob Backlund role lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HellSpawn Report post Posted April 8, 2003 What matches would everybody want on a two disc DVD? Also a McMahonian history DVD program would have a weird ending without Bret coming back, is he at peace with being screwed? 1st, I dont think the WWE wil have a 2 disc set, but hopefully they will do one thing right. 2nd, about the matches, I think there are one or two threads about that in the tape forum, but if some moderator is ok, I would love to throw my list here. How many matches do you think they include in one DVd ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
