if anything, they could so capitalize on Bret's on camera interaction with Vince. Doesn't even have to be Bret having anything to do with HBK, or even wrestling because it is well known that Bret can't physically wrestle anymore. Bret simply being face to face with Vince in the center of the ring live on RAW would be electric.

If this is true, just glancing at WWE's live event schedule, there is no RAW booked for the Monday before Wrestlemania 26. If they were smart......

Put RAW in Montreal.

This news is quite shocking, and I am excited to see how this develops!

Well....yeah. Pretty much.

They'll announce 1/4 as a special guest host.

Beginning of the show, the host still won't be there. About halfway, Vince will probably be pulling some bullshit.

All of a sudden...

"Do you smell what the Rock is cookin'?" will blare over the PA system, crushing all your little hearts.

And, either one of the following will happen...

A.) Rock will come out, clear the ring, and be face-to-face with Vince McMahon. When all of a sudden, Bret will come out and turn complete heel and beat the Rock down.

B). The Rock will come out, and host the show. Then, as CWK so thoughtfully mentioned, they will announce the RAW after 'Mania being in Montreal.

Either way, they'd get your ratings by baiting you in.

Awesome news. I will definitely be tuning in for the return of the Hitman. What's interesting is that I'm already having trouble deciding which to watch, TNA's Monday night debut or Bret Hart's return to RAW. One can only hope that the new decade has more of this in store; feels like the good old days.

is it me or is it ridiculously stupid they would let something like this leak when the surprise factor could make it one of the most memorable angles of all time.

Shouldn't he host in Canada?

I think they are at the stage where they have to leak stuff to generate interest especially if it is a direct counter to the TNA/Hulk Hogan thing.

Hey WWE creative Team,

We know you're reading this. If you fuck this up I will find you and fucking hurt you.

It will either be epic or a real letdown. Expectations will be high so I tend to think it will be a letdown for most people. If they get a good storyline out of this, I'll be interested because I can't remember the last one that grabbed my attention.

Awesome news!

Although id like to thank TNA for lighting a fire under Vinces ass. He's needed that.

I may actually watch raw now. TNA I was rooting for you but you cannot compete with the Hitman. Hogan, you said if you fail you'll pack your bags...don't the door hit you on your plastic hip on the way out.

Call me crazy, but I don't see Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in the ring at the same time. If indeed, Bret will be on Raw, I see it going like this:

Bret Hart comes out, gives a speech about how he and Vince McMahon have had a checkered past, they've had their differences, but let bygones be bygones. He says he's glad to be in a WWE ring again, in front of all his WWE fans, on the 1st Raw of the New Year.

He announces, to kick the New Year off right, we're gonna have a title match. DX will defend the unified titles against Jericho and Big Show.

Sometime during Raw, we get obligatory Santino Marello, Chavo Guerro, Hornswoggle, Jillian singing some Celine Dion for Bret since he's Canadian, Bella Twins, Chris Jericho glad to see Bret, a fellow Canadian, because maybe he'll finally get some respect/appreciation, Randy Orton claiming there's a conspiracy to keep the title off of him.

Bret Hart comes out to do commentary for the Tag Team Title Match. Sometime during the match, Jericho has Shawn Michaels in the Walls of Jericho. Before Shawn has given up and is ready to reverse it, Bret Hart calls for the bell to ring, thus screwing Shawn out of the tag team titles. Bret, Jericho, and Big Show walk up the ramp and when they get to the top Bret has a big smile on his face as Raw goes off the air.

If theres not another Bret DVD set I dont care.

I hope Vince screws him over again and he goes whining to TNA.

i think it'd be worth like not guarenteeing viewers on the night for nailing them for repeats or just generating future interest though. i mean it's kind of like buying a book and turning to the back page, for me. like it's the sort of thing people can discuss and turn someone else onto it, yet if you know about it before hand it kills the surprise and all the emotion that entails.

I guess it depends how Bret is brought in, the disposition of his character and his current condition. I'm going to have to assume that he still can't wrestle.

Face route

McMahon comes to the ring as a heel

He tells the world that money makes the world go round blah blah blah

He brings out Bret

Bret calls out Michaels

Bret talks about 97 and that it needs to be buried and left behind. At the end of the promo, Bret asks Michaels to shake his hand if he agrees. Michaels takes his hand. Bret asks for a favour from Michaels, for old times sake DX versus Hart Dynasy for the tag titles. Michaels agrees.

McMahon is bemused by it all and Bret turns to McMahon demanding an apology for 97. McMahon refuses. Bret says ok but he's the GM so tonight McMahon will kiss The Hitman's ass. The Hart Dynasty can help with this making McMahon do it.

McMahon is livid afterwards.

Tag title match can be a close encounter with a ref bump. McMahon comes down to the ring and some screwjob ending occurs with DX coming out on top. DX can fake not knowing what is going on but then shake McMahon's hand and lay a beat down on the Hart Dynasty leaving Bret seething at the end of Raw or DX's involvement in the screwjob can be dragged out over a few weeks.

The payoff would be some PPV tag team title match with Bret in one corner and McMahon in another.

Heel route

I guess it would centre around Bret wanting to get rid of the 'cancer' of WWE, DX who after all these years still make him sick to his stomach.

UN-BEEEEEE-LIEVABLE! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE WWF!

Yeah I agree, this was the cool thing about the Monday night wars - this kinda thing did happen and it was amazing to watch but I think I am right in saying that the surprise factor has been sucked out of wrestling over the years.

Bret can't wrestle. He'd be stupid to consider it.

BUT... a brawl where he doesn't take a single bump? A complete squash where he just beats someone up and barely takes a lick the entire match?

I'm calling Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon in a Street Fight at WrestleMania, and just hope enough old school viewers remain for the audience to care about it. If this had happened 5-10 years ago, that may well have been a monster buyrate. In 2010, I'm not so sure.

Yes unfortunately. It's all about guaranteed ratings now.

none of the kiddies watching today were even alive the last time Bret wrestled a match.

Jeez, I never thought I'd see the words "Bret Hart signs with WWE". Hell has indeed frozen over.

What next? "Please welcome this week's guest host, Bruno Sammartino"?

"Please rise as we induct into the Hall of Fame: Macho Man Randy Savage"?

"And now, making his return to the WWE... <strike>Marty Jannetty</strike> <strike>The Ultimate Warrior</strike> <strike>Jim Cornette</strike> <strike>Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake</strike> Ken Kennedy"

Also, that comment about Tazz/1.3 switching over to Raw. Yeah, right! Like Impact's gonna get a 1.3

I could see Bret doing a few spots and I think there's a 90% chance of a Sharpshooter down the road.

What with Warrior and WWE ending their court case and Bret signing a contract, it truly is the season of forgiveness.

Merry Christmas everybody!

E-hugs all around :D

Don't forget Hogan and Russo working together in TNA.

Hey, maybe Sammartino and Savage aren't out of the question yet...

Do you think this would work:

Michaels turns heel and has a personal mission to rid the wwe of Harts. He squashes one dynasty member after the other. HHH plays cheer leader for michaels he sits on a turnbuckle and commentates over the house mic as michaels beats the shit out of every Hart. Michaels uses chairs, ladders, tables. HHH makes the count as michaels pins each one.

He gets on the mic saying "I've beaten every hart in the WWE...hell, if Stu hart was alive I'd kick his old ass too." Michaels plays a video package of his victories over every Hart including owen and bret.

He laughs about it with HHH who then pulls out a canadian flag. Shawn and HHH lay the flag down in the ring and look like they're about to piss on it.

The Hitman guitar squeal screeches through the sound system briefly dimming the lights the HITMAN skull logo flashes on the tron then come back on...as if it was all a glitch shawn and hunter look at each other then laugh.

The lights go out completely the pink lights come on. We can see shawn and hunter in sillioutte in the ring. A 3rd person hits HHH knocking him out.

The lights come on revealing the 3rd person to be Bret Hart. Michaels is in utter disbelief ! he looks like he has seen a ghost! Brets Music hits as michaels backs out of the ring like the chicken shit heel he is. Bret Picks up the flag. We get a close up of Bret as Raw goes off the air.

Thats brets return...

I hope teddy hart shows up.

Maybe, but Shawn found god. sry

Vince to TNA: I'll see your Hogan signing and raise you a Bret Hart.

(by some kid from another site)

Something I've been thinking about: could bret have signed on to do a wwe movie? The timeframe for production seems about right.

A movie?

How is this shit not obvious.

Vince saw hogan as a threat, so he probably called Bret Hart and said I'll give you 500k to make a few spots on TV hoping that Hogan wont have any other cards to play and that the TNA deal will only be a big thing for a few months and not a few years. Vince paying 500k is better than him losing 500k a week in a ratings battle, regardless of what it will due to the business in the forms of INCREASED viewers overall, I highly doubt that Vince wants to go down that road... again.

Shawn found himself? Good to hear.

Ugh.

Wonder if he'll just be doing the Live shows. Hopefully not, as it would give me some hope of maybe seeing him at a house show for the RAW RtWM Tour in February. If not, I won't be too crushed, but just wondering...

I also have to wonder how much or what exactly they had to offer Hitman to agree to even a 4-month contract.

Probably to get Owen Hart into the Hall of Fame.

I was thinking either that and/or to possibly give him some sort of appearance for WM 26, as it would probably net him a shitload of money just to walk out and look at the crowd.

It will truely be the greatest night in the history of our sport.

ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH ONE MORE MATCH

I just want to see him take out DX and McMahon all by himself. No match (obviously that would rock) but I just want to see him lay into HBK, Tirple H and McMahon.

Bret Hart needs to join DX and him, HBK, HHH and Vince all hug and say a big "You Got Punked" to all the WWE fans. and then the WWE closes forever

Yeah, when TNA has a planned event like that, they can't keep this secret. IF it is what it looks like.

So do you think Goldberg will superkick him, or will HBK just do it?

that would be funny too bad earl hebner is on tna.

This is crazy. Everything that we thought wouldn't happen has happened... WCW bought by Vince, ECW on WWE TV, Goldberg in WWE, Bischoff, Shawn Michaels returns from retirement!, indy daling CM Punk is a 3 or 4 time world champion, Bryan Danielson has been signed by WWE, Shane left WWE, Paul Heyman head booker of Smackdown!, Bradshaw a main eventer and multiple world champion, and not after 12 years Bret Hart will return to WWE. Holy shit, what an amazing decade for wrestling.

So just wait, TNA will beat WWE one day. Then they will probably be bought out.

This is pretty exciting. If Bret can finally man up and leave the past behind... Vince, HBK and Bret in one ring would be sweet! Or hell, even just HBK and Bret.

I would like this to happen if/when Bret/Shawn/Vince finally get in the ring again.

This is the best news of the decade.

which will lead to the greatest night in the history of our sport

if they actually do that, they better go all out because that one segment can literally go down as the greatest segment in wrestling history

YOU SCREWED BRET! YOU SCREWED BRET!.....oh wait that's not appropriate here. But here's a pic of me with Bret :cool: :

http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...27734_6388.jpg

Did he give you his sunglasses?

No offense but you look like some sort of serial killer/stalker. And bret looks like a fat canadian michael jackson

i want to fart in your mouth

what in the fuck is that pic about?

John Wayne Gacy. Look him up.

sascha looks more the b.t.k type. Bret looks worried. The old woman in the background was later found with her semen covered panty in her mouth and teeth marks on her ass. Sascha is still at large

just make Bret the GM of Raw and be done with this guest host bullshit

Shut the fuck up, The MAC. What is wrong with you?

I love that bret is back but it doesn't make any sense. WWE is PG which appeals to little, young kids. that's right young kids, so Bret Hart is going to come on TV and the little kid will say, "Dad, is the man wearing pink girly?"

How do kids today react to Hogan, dick?

Look mommy it's Ronald McDonald's grandfather.

"Why is that man orange?"

"He has a skin condition, Tommy. His douche baggery is so great it shows through his skin."

"Like Dolph Ziggler?"

"Hogan's is to a greater extent, but yeah."

i want to see the hitman give VKM another black eye and then mime writing "T-N-A" to the hardcam

I would So mark out for this

That's exactly how this whole angle should start off, then Vince silently signs away like 3 major TNA stars and Bret brings them in.

:O

No it will bring in ratings.

You can add me to that list.

WWE is expecting a Bret Hart/Vince McMahon storyline going forward, which is why the plan for the Undertaker/Vince McMahon program was changed to Undertaker/Shawn Michaels.

Credit: PWInsider

Good man, that also needs to happen.

And this is probably the greatest news you could hear about. What a merry Xmas!

The idea of a match like the one Austin had against Bischoff where he just beat the piss out of him for 10 minutes makes me salivate.

Not to mention, I'm going to the Raw being held in San Diego, and the idea of seeing Bret Hart live for the first time in nearly 15 years, in a hot Wrestlemania fued no less, gets me excited. I cannot fucking wait.

If they do actually go with Bret vs Vince, I'd LOVE, if Bret is willing to do it, to have Shawn interfere. Basically never have Shawn come into it at all until Mania then he tries to screw Bret but Bret gets the last laugh.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart appeared on yesterday's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio on F4Wonline.com and here are some of the highlights:

* Bret said he doesn't have faith in Eric Bischoff or Hulk Hogan when it comes to recreating the Monday Night Wars with TNA. He respects TNA as a company and hope it brings competition for the sport but doesn't think they're going to do anything major. Bret said Hogan has played himself out to the American audience and doesn't have anything to offer anymore.

* He feels he still has lots of ideas and different things he can contribute to wrestling. His ideal job in the business right now would be something similar to what John Laurinaitis does for WWE. He would want to be involved in planning matches and storylines.

* TNA has always been good to him as far as extending offers go.

* Bret says he is a big fan of Randy Orton's work these days but not impressed with the repetitive storylines he's been involved in. He also said he's impressed with Kofi Kingston and is a fan of Melina, calling her creative and very imaginative when it comes to doing her moves. He also feels everything Sheamus is doing right now is impressive and also is a big fan of Jack Swagger. Bret feels Swagger has good potential to be a top wrestler and character.

* He would loved to have wrestled Kurt Angle and David Hart Smith. He also would have loved to work as a heel against John Cena because he feels they could have told a good story together. He hinted that Cena's abilities in the ring are limited but he is still good.

* As far as all the news about his WWE return, Bret said he can't talk about the rumors but did say that he was talking with WWE and "we will see what happens.

thanks for the info update Juan!!

wtf?

I think he was saying he was turned on by her

Bret: "...ummm I'm also a fan of melina. umm I get really when she splits"

its not creative to do moves wrong, is it?

I get really when she splits

Why did you change the thread title Juan? Mod power abuse. :mad:

MAWWWD POWWWAAAHHH ABOOOOOOOSE!

Because it's pretty much a given that he signed. Plus, I was bored. Sue me.

How much money you got?

I’d have Bret Hart host the January 4th RAW and start the show with Hart and Shawn Michaels. They bury the hatchet in the ring and shake hands. Michaels then does a 180 and starts to verbally bury Hart. Vince McMahon, in the weeks following Hart’s appearance, backs everything Michaels has said. At the Royal Rumble, Hart’s music hits to distract Michaels. Michaels is sent flying from the ring, after the distraction. Michaels, fuming, heads to the back and tears the HD apart.

Hart shows up again on RAW and calls Michaels out. Hart says he may be old, but still has enough for one last fight. They book a Street Fight for WrestleMania and build up from there. Michaels is really good at carrying wrestlers to something good, while letting them really shine. Michaels, methodically and with a grin, puts Hart in the Sharpshooter, but Hart reverses the Sharpshooter into the Sharpshooter. Michaels cries in pain and taps out.

Hart/Vince is the likely match, but Michaels is the best bet to work a match with him while carrying him in a way that lets Hart look like a star.

Its the stroke :shifty:

He doesnt need to look like a star, he still is a star.

If it turns out he hasn't signed, I promise you I will haunt you with memories of this thread FOREVER!!!!

I'll just ban you

we all know bret signed on cuz he wants to fuck melina. He has had sunny days now he wants to split melina.

I bet negotiations where like this

vince: bret i'll pay ya $500 000 for each month. Thats 2 million for the contract
bret: no
vince: i'll let you punch my fucking face
bret:...no
vince: um...lemme see, we'll dress michaels in a dress and have HHH fuck him in the ass.
Bret: doesnt that already happen?
Vince: damn...youre right. Oh how bout this offer? Either a blowjob from stephanie or...
Bret: im already leaning towards 'or'...
Vince:melina as your sex toy for the four months
bret: done!

You wouldn't dare. :mad:

Actually, yeah you would. BECAUSE YOU ABUSE YOUR POWERS. :rant:

:heart:

yeah I'm 90% sure bret just wants to fuck.

This is what I would love to see:

At the end of an epic face to face promo in the middle of the ring between Bret and Shawn, Shawn is aplogizing for The Screwjob & asking for forgiveness.

Bret is about to explode, raises his fist in anger...but stops...pauses and says "Shawn, there's only one thing I can think of that you could do for me that would make us even. The way I see it, you owe me a favor."

Shawn: "A favor?"

Bret: "Yeah, a favor."

Shawn: "Ok, you name it...but then we're even?"

Bret: "Yeah, Even. Grab your bag, we're going on a road trip."


The following Raw they show various road trip clips of the two driving to an unknown destination and Bret still won't tell Shawn what the "favor" is.

Finally they pull up to a large house and Bret parks the car.

Shawn: "Who's house is this? What do you want me to do?"

Bret: "Just go ring the doorbell, I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself."

Shawn slowly walks up to the door, looks around paranoid-like and rings the door bell.

The door opens, and an unseen person with a familiar deep voice says "Shawn? What are you doing here?"

Shawn looks back at Bret in the car, Bret nods. Shawn looks down, shakes his head in disbelief....then delivers THE MOTHER of all Sweet Chin Music's to the unseen person in the doorway.

Shawn steps in the doorway and stands over....AN UNCONSCIOUS GOLDBERG!

Shawn: "Hi Bill. Bret sends his regards."

Shawn returns to the car and sits in the passenger seat with his head down, looking ashamed of himself.

Bret (smiles & shakes Shawn's hand): NOW we're even. Let's go see Vince.

Car drives away...END RAW.

BOOK IT NOW VINCE

Unless it strokes out again.
