If Bret ever showed up for a WWE pay-per-view I would buy it no doubt. I haven't seen one in years (probably WrestleMania 18 or something) but I would definitely buy a PPV to see Bret again. Anymore news, plese keep us updated because when I start school in a few weeks I won't be able to watch Raw anymore because I'll be in class all night

I'm not even sure Bret can wrestling anymore. The stroke really did a number on him. I think he's fully recovered, but I can't swear to it. Also, he's made it clear that he doesn't want to deal with the stress of having to be on the road all the time. He's still in talks with TNA though. They'll offer him a decent pay check, plus it won't require him to deal with the "road life" the WWE is famous for.

But look at Hogan. I mean, can anyone honestly say that the Rock, a guy who is about 30 years younger than him, couldn't have kicked his ass all over the place in those comeback matches?

Bret Hart would do like Hogan, only an appearence here or there, a run-in, and a special PPV match, which would be cool.

From WrestlingNewsWorld.com

Bret Hart just finished giving a short interview on Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Live radio show. He was on for the last 15 minutes of the program.

He said his book deal would be done without WWE. He doesn't see that it could be done by anyone but himself. He said he needed WWE to get access to his footage but for a book he doesn't need footage.

He said he's moved on from the Montreal incident. He said he still has his feelings on the situation but bigger things in life have happened such as family tragedies, 9/11, Owen's death and his stroke. He said that he and Vince had a conversation and agreed they need to put their personal feelings towards each other aside for the benefit of the fans. He says that fans made him who he is and that without them he'd be nothing. He also said he thanks WWE for giving him the opportunity to showcase his talents in front of the fans for so many years.

He feels he has expressed his feelings on Montreal in other interviews and that everyone knows what happened. He said everyone has their opinion and that they are either on one side or the other. He said that you minimize it or you can make a bigger deal about it but there's no need to keep rehashing the situation.

He said he agreed to do the DVD because he wanted to be a part of it as opposed to having the DVD released without his participation. He was afraid without him it would have come across like something that would have aired on Confidential. He said Montreal will be mentioned and that, although you don't have to make a big deal about it anymore, it can't be ignored either. He said there would be footage on the DVD paying tribute to his days in Stampede Wrestling (which he said was where he had the most fun) and the Hart Foundation. He said they were stepping stones along the way. He also said he always envisioned one day there would be a video package paying tribute to his days in Stampede Wrestling.

He says everyone in WWE treated him first class and he doesn't have any complaints on any level. He says that he thinks the DVD will be done very professionally and that he won't be taken advantage of either. He said this didn't happen sooner because over the years there was possible miscommunication on either of their parts that led Bret to believe WWE was stabbing him in the eyes and taking shots at him.

He said he doesn't have future plans to work with WWE beyond this DVD. He said he doesn't know what else can be done. He said he would see what happens when this project is complete and is released. He said he doesn't want to get back in the ring as a referee or a commentator, or a commissioner or a manager. He doesn't want to be remembered for that. He said he wants to be remembered for being a great champion.

Meltzer said he would back in a couple of weeks for the full 2 hours.

Nothing was mentioned about Bret possible being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in Chicago. My personal opinion based on what he said is that it's not going to happen. I get the feeling while he's not closing the door with working with WWE but isn't exactly anxious to do business with them again either.

I can't wait to get both the book & DVD. I wish they would give us some kinda of time table!

Hey guys,

From the Slam website, it says Mid-November.
can't wait for this...

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2005/08/06/1162032.html

Thanks Maple Leafs! Wow, Mid-November can't come soon enough. I guarantee that this DVD outsells Ric Flair's (which I believe is the best selling WWE DVD ever)

Actually amazon.com has it's release date at November 15th

It will be interesting to see if it beats Flair's. Y'know it probably will only because most younger people will remember Hart, more than they would Flair.
I have the Flair set, and it is incredible.
You're right, November cant come soon enough.

**I think they are also releasing a 3 disc Jake Roberts dvd as well.

I need to get the Flair set. Does it have the entire 1992 Royal Rumbe in which he went in #3 and wound up winning it?

:Yawn: Michaels went in number one and won

:p :p

Hey Irishman12, yup, it has the whole Rumble. I believe the whole set runs about 10 hours.

I don't watch too much new stuff (but try to keep up anyway), but didn't Benoit win the Rumble coming in seeded #1 as well? I don't think HBK was the only one, right...?

Didn't Austin do it as well during the whole Vince/Austin fued?

I don't know about Benoit,

Yeah I think Benoit did it. As for the Flair set, it'd be worth purchasing just to see the Rumble IMO. I wish they'd make a DVD for Miss Elizabeth especially since she passed away

Agreed, a Macho Man/Liz dvd would be amazing. He would have to make up with McMahon though, becasue apparently he has a worse relationship with McM than Bret did.

I hope all the dvds do well, becasue that will mean more for us down the road.

Just saw Hogan on Raw. Man, I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that man in a ring!

Man I REALLY thought Bret Hart was gonna be on Raw. My heart was pounding and everything

When does RAW move to USA?

sometime in OCt

I was initally excited when I heard the music, but I knew he wouldn't come out. It woulda been cool, though.

I gotta say, the promo that Shawn Michael's cut last night had to be one of the best I've heard in a long time. He had the Montreal fans in the palm of his hand. Granted, Bret Hart won't be too happy that WWE is still beating this dead horse, but c'mon! They're in Montreal, Shawn Michaels is becoming a heel again, they gotta milk the Montreal Incident for what it's worth.

I highly doubt Bret Hart will ever come back to wrestle, or even be involved in a storyline, but MAN, it would be awesome. A Survivor Series return match or something. Only thing is it wouldn't be quite the same, seeing as Earl Hebner was recently fired from WWE for, of all things, selling unauthorized merchandise.

He's done his best work as a heel. He's too corny as a face.

WHAT!? Earl Hebner got fired! He's been with the company for years! I can't believe this!! BTW, Matt Hardy is still going out with Lita in real life, right? I saw a segment breaking down the whole breakup and everything and she was on Byte This saying how she could sleep with anyone she wanted to. It's just part of the storyline, right?

Believe it or not, this is one of the few times in wrestling history that a storyline is real. While Matt was out with his knee injury, Lita actually did cheat on him with Adam Copeland (Edge). The WWE sense a tense situation coming, so they released Hardy. Once the Lita/Edge/Kane storyline began, people started chanting "We Want Matt!", and Vince saw the dollar signs, so he re-hired Matt Hardy. I'm pretty sure that Edge and Matt and Lita have cleared up any bad blood, but the story behind the feud is very real.

Wow I can't believe that. I thought it was probably a good storyline with Lita airing it all out on Byte This. That sucks for him man. I'd be sooooooooooooooo pissed (they had a 6 year relationship!). How long did Hebner work for the WWE?

God, I couldn't even begin to guess. He's worked for WWE for as long as I can remember, and I've watched wrestling for at least 15 years. Both he and his twin brother Dave were fired for selling unauthorized merchandise. It's a shame too.

What kinda unauthorized merchandise and how long had they been doing it?

I couldn't find the link to the story, but if I remember correctly, they were selling t-shirts, title belts, action figures, the regular kind of stuff. Since they were selling it without the WWE's knowledge, they didn't have to share the profits. WWE found out, and Earl was terminated immediately. Dave was fired about a week later.

XXX in all honesty do you really believe they could clear up all bad blood? It wasn't like edge and lita were an "accident" There will be some real shots thrown during the match, I'd bet on that.

I don't think everything has been cleared up, but I'm sure they've gotten to a point where they'll just wanna beat the shit out of each other, and not actually murder each other.
