Im not going to lie, if Bret can wrestle half ass, it would be better then most of the lockeroom is today, and any old school fan can't tell me they dont want to see Bret slap that sharpshooter on Vince or HBK and make them tap out one last time. If you youngen's dont know...
He was the best there is
The Best there was
and the Best there ever will be.
I'm as old school as it gets, and I do NOT want to see this happen in any way, shape, or form. I actually think it will taint the legacy of the Montreal incident because it will make it seem like it was just a work, and its always been presented as a real occurrence.
Just let the incident languish in the past. Its one of the infamous moments in wrestling history, and will be talked about for generations. We don't need Bret Hart coming back 12 years later to give a sharpshooter to those involved to "get even".
I understand what you are saying but i don't think Bret, Vince or HBK for that matter want this to languish and never given closure. There is a massive danger that for all the good all 3 of them have done for wrestling that they would be mostly remembered for the screwjob.
I think all 3 now have moved on in their own minds, Bret found it hard for years and HBK admitted it bothered him for years.
This is just a way to give IMO the best traditional face the WWE has ever seen one final scene in his wrestling career. I would wager that the first time his music hits and he appears the roof will come off the arena and that hasn't happened for a while in WWE.
As long as Bret has input into how things work then i think it will work. I don't expect the greatest angle in history as obviously both Bret and Vince are passed their physical prime, but the psychology of this storyline will be up there with anything wwe has put out (aside from HBK-Jericho) in recent years IMO.
The big question for me is ..... Will Bret also feud with DX? I would assume no as there is a risk that he might actually become the heel because like some people have mentioned... some of the younger fans might not have much loyalty to Bret.
The older fans amongst us who remember the disgraceful actions he endured will want him to get Vince and HBK and get his revenge.... but i don't think HBK & Bret will happen. Although i'm sure with HBK's ego they'll have some airtime together (which would be electric by the way).
I think a more likely scenario is Bret beating 10 shades of
**** out of Vince and costing DX the tag titles helping the new Hart Foundation out in the process.
Is it be good.... The build up will be brilliant as long as Bret appears on the majority of RAW's between now and Mania. The match itself won't be brilliant.... but i can't be worse than HHH vs Orton at last years Wrestlemania.
Expectation is a killer and if you expect too much out of a guy who hasn't wrestled in years then you'll be disapointed but go into it all with an open mind and this could be one of the best things to happen to wrestling in a while.
