Karc 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 On one hand, if Bret gets to say his farewell at the HOF, I'm glad. On the other, the last HOF was nothing but a build to Wrestlemania. And Vince is fighting Shawn. And Bret getting the screwjob has been a focal point. And announcing Bret in HOF 6 weeks in advance is a long time not to have something planned. I really hope this isn't a work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, if HBK and Vince want to say sorry for Montreal this might be the way to do it. Of course......this is highly unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Well deserved induction if you ask me. Along with the likes of Ricky Steamboat and Dusty Rhoads (if confirmed) should make for a star-studded HOF. How about also inducting Bob Backlund? Now let's speculate on Bret's involvement at WrestleMania 22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 To answer your question NO! Tell me why would it be stupid for HBK to induct Bret Hart if Vince, HBK, and Hart have mended their indifferences? I think it's damn near impossible, but I don't think it's stupid. It will be saying all 3 guys have let go of that night in Montreal and show that they're friggin professionals and adults. Seriously, it's not like what went down is something so meaningful in life that all three men can't let it go for the mainstream audience to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bigm350 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I'm glad Bret's going into the HOF, but to say the WWE HOF is prestigious is quite laughable. Anyway, I think Benoit or Jim Neidhart should be the guy to induct him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Bret really doesn't like HBK and vice versa. And the fact that Vince killed his brother. Neidhart, Austin or Benoit should do the honours.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 My point is it would be big of all 3 men to let go of the past and do something dramatic like HBK inducting Hart. Nothing more, nothing less. HBK has already stated he would not attend the HOF ceremony if it meant Hart being inducted and actually showing up. For all we know Vince and HBK told Bret sorry and that's why the man has even agreed to come back. We don't know. As someone said about the prestige of the HOF being laughable I agree for the most part. Bret must know accepting this in any form makes Vince money for WrestleMania especially with Vince/HBK being rumoured to happen at the event. Listen to some of Vince's comments last night on RAW and then you'll see why they would say sorry for Montreal genuine or not. Vince caused his brother to die, but he also played a part in Eddie's death too, but his family and friends have taken part in angle involving him. I don't put anything past Vince saying or doing whatever it takes to get what he wants to make a monster WrestleMania. This is why I try to understand why he books things the way he does in contrary to what smarks and the masses thinks. Vince is an egomaniac who has the WM legacy to live up to each and every year and I don't think he deliberately goes out there and tries to do stuff to make things tank for the most part. Look at who he's brought back and why over the last few years to hype Mania and HOF. Even to go as far as trying to get Bruno Sammartino to participate.

notJames 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I agree with all the mixed feelings surrounding this new development. If it's all legit and Bret gets to say a proper farewell, then I'm truly happy for him. Here's hoping that he gets a written guarantee that nothing storyline-driven happens during his induction. Neidhart should get the nod, definitely. If not, Austin should, if he and Vince are still on speaking terms. Watch it end up being Earl Hebner… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What has led you to believe any one of the three wants to be a big man and let what happened go? Hell, Vince is still using it for angles for fuck sake and Shawn just refuses to take any amount of blame in the situation. I'm still waiting for confirmation from someone other than the WWE.

Si82 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 How about also inducting Bob Backlund? Backlund accepted back in 2004 but then withdrew from it when he found out Pete Rose would also be inducted. So I doubt he'll be going in. As for Bret, he should just do the HOF, do his goodbye speech and then come out during Wrestlemania with the other inductees and that be that. It's great to read that he'll be on WWE TV at least one more time but sad that this could be the last we see of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let us not forget Bret Hart is also an egomaniac who prides himself to the point of extreme mark about his legacy being revered and you have your answer. But that would be Vince admitting fault, which he does not do. He just doesn't. Real or false, Vince will not do it. And Shawn, born again christian that he is, still comes off as a prick. I read your post and it stands. None of the three egos will let it go. And when one of them tried to let it go, Vince is the one who kept bringing it back up. Vince loves it and frankly, he loves the heat he gets in Canada. He's not going to give up his ultimate heel heat trump card for the country of Canada. And if Vince admits fault, he'd give it up. So he won't do it, fake or truthful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vince: GIVE SHAWN THE FUCKING AWARD!! (Earl then turns around and gives the award to Shawn who is smiling and Bret is in shocked.
