Bret Hart signs with WWE
 

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

According to a WWE source who would have full knowledge of the situation, Bret Hart has indeed signed a short-term talent contract with World Wrestling Entertainment,

The WWE Hall of Famer signed the this past week and it will cover the period from 1/1 to 4/10, or through WrestleMania and about two weeks after the 3/28 show at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ.

Hart simply told a reliable source that he wasn’t going to lie about anything and thus wasn’t going to comment on this story.

It was said that Hart wanted his signing to be kept quiet and his return to be a surprise, but that WWE couldn’t help itself but all but announced it publicly on the first RAW after the ink was dry.

The MAC should be very happy.

I am indeed

I'm happy for Zen v.W.o. :cool:

I am also looking forward to this.

January 4th (his rumored date of appearance) just so happens to fall on my birthday. :cool:

no the other Mac. The one who creams over Bret.

Vincent Kennedy McMahon will inject the WWE with a LETHAL DOSE OF HITMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Question is, will he mention the screwjob?

I wonder will Bret finally stop whining now, when Bret and HBK/HHH are standing in the ring together for the first time its gonna be fucking awesome

holy shit..
the thing that we thought would never happen.

Oh fuck

This is an outrage.

Hmm....

This just in: we are receiving word that hell has offically frozen over

more information as it becomes available

<font color=goldenrod>Wow.</font>

Instant Erection...... just imagining the possibilities blows my mind!!!!!

<font color=goldenrod>And this neatly happens when it seems they are going to build towards a DX vs. Hart Dynasty feud

Works perfectly</font>

I seriously doubt Bret would do anything related to Shawn. I could see him working alongside Vince, that's it.

It's where the money is so you would have to assume it will happen.

I'm so happy!

I agree.. But if HHH & HBK & The Hitman were all in the ring even just for a few minutes... Bye Bye TNA Ratings...

Depends on if Bret is over Shawn. And last time I've checked, he's not.

fuck yeah!

Oh if it happened, and Bret had Shawn in the Sharpshooter to open RAW, Dixie would be shitting her pants.

It'd be like Bischoff explaining when WWF got Tyson. "Woah... That's... That's good."

So VERY True... Money does speak volumes sometimes... You never know he could pull his own screwjob and have one over on Vinnie Mac.. Although I doubt it, probably in his contract not to pull anything...

That's sick if it's going to happen, but I shall reserve judgement until he actually is on my television set being the fucking hitman.

If this isn't for the 1/4 RAW they're making a HUGE mistake.

More like will WWE bring it up in some dumb storyline, vince did just the other night saying "bret screwed bret".

I have to think that it DEFINITELY is... That would Crush any hopes of something for TNA... and you know if it is... VInnie Mac put up the $$$ for Bret to sign on...

Yeah, that comment makes more sense now. To me it ALMOST seemed like Miller pulled it out of his ass and Vince tried to save it on the spot, but Vince is clearly going to be heeling Bret.

Pretty amazing. Actually considering checking out WWE in the new year.

And the Rock to host the week after would be epic.

Nah, they shouldn't blow Rock on something like that. If they're going to use Rock, he has to either be the week before or the RAW after Mania, unless TNA does another Monday impact between 1/4 and then.

I'm very happy to hear this news but I have a feeling he will be relegated to SD after his guest host appearance on RAW but that'd be fine by me.

Hart guest hosting/ Hall of Fame induction (which I would instantly buy a ticket for, BTW)/ Hart/Michaels WM26 = Epic Win

...or just the 1st 2...whatever.

damn vince crapped his pants more about hogan then i thought, wonder how much money bret got.

I have a feeling they're going to drop the ball with this just like they did with the NWO.

He has to be involved in that DX/Hart Dynasty feud that's gonna start soon.

I posted in the Wrestlemania 26 thread a couple days ago about how I suspected the WWE would be pulling out all the stops for this years Mania, even more so than usual, due to stiff competition from a UFC PPV the night before and the Pacquiao/Mayweather two weeks after. This seems to be an early indication of just that. Not gonna get my hopes up too high though, I just want to see where this goes.

ya cos you would avoid it normally :roll:

Id jizz my fucking pants right off my legs and out the window if HBK superkicked bret to open Raw that night

YES can't wait to see how this works out

Meh.

If this does actually happen and Bret hosts that night and calls out HBK or something I will mark out like a little bitch. :$

.................Somehow this did not set off my give a damn meter.
It should have, but I'm just... m'eh.

I hope he mentions the Jam-up guy, El Dandy.

(Sorry Juan but this little cunt needs a reality check, i need to meet you in real life, i need to make you swallow that kane mask)

So you dont care that the two main guys involved in the BIGGEST story ever in wrestling are finally gonna meet in a ring again? Interesting

Really? Who said Bret would be in the ring with Michaels?

I think it's inevitable.

Are you fucking serious? You think Vince will get Bret to return and he will never appear in the ring at any point EVER with Shawn Michaels? thats all people want

This news made my morning :)

We don't even know if this is for appearing. There's a Hart Foundation DVD coming up, for all you know it's a likeness contract.

Well it's reportedly a 4 month contract, so if it were just a likeness contract, I'd imagine it'd be for longer than 4 months.

Yet you discuss The Rock vs John Cena which will not happen. Bret will be back cos hes probly broke as fuck, maybe he finally got over HBK either

Uh, I'm a firm believer that Rock vs Cena will never happen.

ahhh good

Im very certain it will happen sometime but not at this years wrestlemania

I watched this year's Wrestlemania and I can assure EVERYONE that The Rock v Cena match did NOT happen.

I hope this clears it up.

C U N T , B I G , B I G C U N T

It's "unlikely" but I still wouldn't put it past Vince to go medieval and have Rock host and Bret debut on the same show, and get the ball rolling on some huge Wrestlemania programs early

From PWInsider:

We have gotten some email concerning an internet story (I don't know where it came from or I would cite the source) saying that Bret Hart has signed a four month contract with WWE, which would make him available to appear on the 1/4 Raw against TNA Impact. I talked to one person in WWE who told me that he heard though company channels that Bret would be in through WrestleMania but couldn't confirm it 100%. I have talked to a few people in WWE that have told me that they are under the impression that after having his name mentioned on Raw this week, they are moving forward as if he is coming in to work with WWE. So, while I can't confirm the story, I can tell you that my gut feeling is that Bret is on his way in to WWE.

Okay, sounds legit.

Tazz: Yeah, that'll put butts in the seats

*1.3 of the audience switches over*

Who said they were going to meet?
And who said they were involved in the biggest story ever?
All you have is your view points and you're acting like this is the biggest thing ever.
Did my point of view really warrant that "die asshole die" comment?
Just relax.... It's a fake sport. You're the personification of everything wrong in the wrestling forum.

:lol: NICE

On a side note: I don't think we'll be seeing The Rock v Cena at next year's Wrestlemania.

Don't know if anyone's made that point already.

1. you hear bret, u think screwjob and hbk, its a given they will meet
2. Screwjob is the biggest wrestling story ever, its stil discussed today
3. Its pretty fuckin big yes
4. I dont care what u post, i hate ur face and kane mask so much that u can
5. there's somethin wrong in the wrestling forum??

Benoit's death was a much bigger story and sent shockwaves through the industry. Nothing like the Screwjob did.

I'm excited that we'll be seeing Bret v HBK in the ring again.

Bret Hart to WWE (Round 2)
 

I'm ONLY creating this because Juan closed the other and this topic is important.

HBK is better.

:drool:

Well, I'm happy

this

I'm excited that we'll be seeing Bret v HBK in the ring again.

I'm sensing HBK/Taker 2 at Mania, only this time, Bret screws HBK out of breaking the streak.

but bret had a stroke and cant wrestle so why?

:nono:

I don't know. He can either send DH Smith or Tyson Kidd as a surrogate. Kidd vs Michaels would be a great match, similar to what Michaels had with Benjamin a couple of years ago.

come on juan calm down

:?:

cum

I still think it's interesting how the most knowledgeable posters on this forum (i.e. Loose Cannon, Rob, Zen v.W.o., 91 from back in the day, and The CyNick from back in the day) ALL AGREE that Bret Hart was a bigger star than Shawn Michaels.

Very interesting to say the very least.

Posters on here should take note of that.

This

Wait for it... wait for it...
This still is irrelevant do my interests.
I have gotten over a wrestler who I have not seen in action in over 10 years. I respect him, and seeing him as a potential guest host will be a great change of pace from all of the non-wrestling personas we have seen as guest hosts.

yea. i'd turn RAW on if news that Benoit has signed a contract

The Screwjob is huge for fans and insiders, but nobody else knows about it or ever gave a fuck. The Benoit story made a much bigger splash both in and out of the wrestling industry. Particularly the latter.

Well maybe this can end WWE doing the screwjob every 6 months

Pretty psyched about this.

I just wonder what type of role he will be in.

Hopefully more than just a manager for the Next Generation Hart Foundation.

End?

:rofl:

i dont think this has any truth to it. If it did vince would have kept it quiet and just dropped hints all the way.

If it is true and they go the guest host route it will be dissappointing. The need to turn DX heel first , have them align with Mr Mcmohan and beat the piss out of the hart dynasty for a few weeks to warrant the return of bret hart. Him just showinh up to guest host is pretty meh

There were also rumors of the Rock showing up on the 1/4 Raw too. If he and Bret both get announced for Raw that week TNA isn't going to have a chance.

so you're telling me there's a chance

Not one bit.

If this is true .... fuck yesssssssss

THIS IS AWESOME.
