Bret Hart Reportedly Open To Returning To World Wrestling Entertainment

For the first time since the infamous “Montreal Screwjob” in 1997, Bret Hart is said to be open to returning to World Wrestling Entertainment as a weekly storyline character.

Hart has had business talks with WWE in recent months, which played a part in the company rehashing “Montreal” at last week’s Breaking Point pay-per-view — in case he agrees to return.

While nothing yet has been agreed upon, nor should one expect anything to happen anytime soon, he is no longer against returning to WWE. In the past he has said he didn’t see himself ever coming back as a character on television because he could no longer wrestle and didn’t want to become some authority figure or manager.

WWE has had talks over the years regarding Hart returning to the company as a character. In fact, Vince McMahon told the creative team in 2006 that he was going to do a street fight with Hart on a pay-per-view. Of course, it never came to be and Hart at the time was saying that he was never going to wrestle again. Apparently, Hart was tentatively penciled in to team up with Shawn Michaels vs. Vince and Shane McMahon at Backlash 2006 instead of “God.”

    WWE creative came up with the “Screwjob” ending because No One is creative enough to come up with anything else!

    Im almost 100% sure Brett would’ve NEVER agreed to teaming up with Shawn.

    “Nor should one expect anything to happen anytime soon” tells everything.

    As far as Im concerned….If Brett Hart didnt say it, I refuse to believe it.

    Leizar and scooter are probably the same person because I find it utterly infathomable that two persons which such low IQs could simultaneously appear on this site outta nowhere

    It would be so sweet if he returns as a manager or something for The Hart Dynasty.

    I beleive it would really good if Brett Hart returned to the WWE because they need something big right now to raise their ratings. However Brett Hart is old and if he was an inring performer than he wouldn’t last long due to his age, but lets say he came back as a manager or something he could be there for a while (but if he comes back as just a manager it would not make as big of an impact on the WWE Raiting Situation right now.)
