2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah, I'll wait till Bret says it. I don't trust the WWE and everytime they have asked him, he has said, "no, not yet" to them. My other question is, if this is true then does Bret get the Hogan treatment of his speech being live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I really don't think WWE would promise a Bret Hart induction and then not deliver since it's April Fools Day. So... who inducts him? Benoit, Austin, or Vince? It is in Chicago, so it could be Austin if they want to play up on WM 13, and if Austin will even be there. Yeah, it's early to predict, but I'd guess Vince.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Benoit. If it happens, which I don't think ti will. Let's say it does...does this impact your opinion of Bret? I can't decide if this is selling out or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Let's say it does...does this impact your opinion of Bret? I can't decide if this is selling out or not. I don't think he sold out. Whenever he even talks about Montreal anymore, he says that he still stands by what he did before and after. He also says that he's over it and wants to move on. I'd say he's participating more for his fans than anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I'll go ahead and say I don't like this. Why? Because I have significantly LESS than zero faith in the WWE to not try and turn this into some sort of stupid angle, or otherwise fuck it up in a million different ways. In a perfect world, he'd be inducted, and at Mania, he'd come out, just by himself, and give his little speech about how he appreciates the fans and is saying goodbye. And then walks back into the dressing room. But I don't trust them. They will find SOME way to piss on this. The temptation is too great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Maybe sometime between now and the HOF ceremony someone can "become" Owen Hart, much like Rey Mysterio has "become" Eddie Guerrero, and they can have "Owen" induct Bret? PWInsider is reporting that WWE is not paying Bret anything (he's not taking any money for it), and he wants to just do it to finally say goodbye. The only that WWE is doing is paying for his trip out there, and that's it. They are also saying that TNA has really been pushing to get Bret to come in there. When JJ found out Bret might go into the WWE HOF, he set up meetings with him. Something hapened in JJ's family, that kept JJ from being able to get to the meeting, and because of that they were not able to make the counter offer to get Bret to show up in TNA instead of this WWE HOF deal.
