He wasn't ready to be a part of WWE again. He was still really angry I suppose. I think it showed that he was coming around, but still wouldn't appear on the product due to a grudge/on principle.
He accepted the HOF honors, and a dvd set around that same time. I think he was dipping his toes in the water before he dove back in, so to speak.
At the time, I felt like he was going to make his return during the Vince/Shawn match. It just seemed too perfect that those 2 were having a match during the same weekend that Bret was in town to be inducted.
But it wasn't to be.
