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.
From Meltzer via Gerweck.net:
According to Dave Meltzer there is talk of Bret Hart hosting the 1/4 Raw vs TNA iMPACT! and believe it or not Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon has been talked about as a match for Wrestlemania 26. Dave says he will have more on all of this later in the week so stay tuned to Wrestlingobserver.com for more information.
Well, this was teased last night with Dennis Miller saying to Vince that he wanted Bret Hart to host Raw, and Vince acted shocked, grumbled something about "Bret Screwing Bret" and walked off the stage abruptly and angrily. I know Bret has said that he would never work as an on-air character again in the WWE, but they need something to really have a must-see advantage on TNA's January 4th episode, and this would be it if The Rock can't do it. All Vince would have to do to entice Bret to host Raw would be to give him a sack full of money and tell him that on the day after when the ratings came out, he'd be a bigger draw than Hogan. With the ego he has and the hatred he has for Hogan, Bret would at the very least consider it.
As far as a Wrestlemania 26 match goes, Bret wouldn't have to do much wrestling. If he and Vince kept it simple, it would be a very entertaining match, and it would be huge as it would bring a lot of closure to Bret and Vince once and for all. I'm sure Bret would also be allowed to induct Owen and the Bulldog into the Hall of Fame if this took place.
What do you guys think? Do you think this rumor has any credence, and if so, would you like to see Bret Hart in the ring one more time against Vince McMahon?
