SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2005 Some noteworthy comments from over the weekend: The following highlights are from a Bret Hart Question & Answer session which took place at today's NWA Legends Convention in North Carolina: - Hart says he is over WWE, but hopes they don't forget what they did to him. To him, the "screwjob" was never a storyline and his heart will never be with WWE again. He said he'd rather work with TNA or someone else. - When asked about HHH by a fan who got cursed at by Hunter for holding a Bret Hart sign, Hart said he was a "no good piece of s***"." - Hart says he puts more blame on Shawn Michaels and Triple H rather than Vince McMahon. Hart says there was a code of trust among wrestlers which Michaels and Hunter both broke. - Bret said if it had been anyone else in Montreal, he would have had no problem dropping the belt. He said his issue was with Shawn Michaels and also lamented about their locker room fight. Reiterating what he's said in past interviews, Bret Hart told fans at the NWA Legends Convention that he would not return to take part in a WWE storyline. While the success of the DVD could help secure a future appearance, The Hitman would not be playing any sort of on-air character. Bret would, however, consider an induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The wrestler also remains interested in issuing a farewell speech, but notes that his relationship with WWE is not yet at the point of arranging such an event. As reported earlier, Bret Hart will be flying to WWE Headquarters to resume work on the WWE DVD this coming week. credit: PW Insider via WrestlingHeadlines.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted August 21, 2005 It would be interesting to see what his take on the current HBK/Hogan direction is. Bret seems to be wanting his cake and eating it too though.. One minute is saying he will never be with WWE again.. next thing he is shaking VKMs hand. I dont know anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zaius 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Bret can afford to hate HBK and HHH because HBK and HHH aren't the ones who are going to be signing his DVD royalty checks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2005 He's working people already. You need to stop thinking that what Bret says at events and what Bret really thinks are the same things. If he was really as bitter as the above post makes it sound, he wouldn't have been sounding more softer in his last few columns about WWE and he wouldn't have posted a poll on his web site asking his fan base if he should go back. He's amping up the bitter "I got screwed" talk because there's huge f'n money to be made just by having him onscreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guarantee it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Absolutely. Like it or not, until he makes an on-screen appearance, people are going to keep talking about him and the possibility of him showing up. It'd be the biggest thing to happen in wrestling in a number of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Biggest thing to happen in years and one of the most anticipated returns in the history of professional wrestling.....UNTIL the good ol' WWE writers led by Mrs. HHH mess it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he can be out in public but technically threads about him should be in a different folder, much the way the Lesnar ones were moved when he left for the Vikings. If I could go back in time, I would have skipped this thread ... I read it thinking (hoping) that it would tell me something I cared to read. I was wrong.

I think Triple H was just pushing Shawn in a direction he would've most likely gone in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
