What is going on with this angle. Some chick hits him with a car, and breaks his leg. Where is this leading, or is this just something to take him off tv?
What does everyone think of his return? I felt it was just ok. I liked how they built up HBK/Bret with the handshake, and i loved when vince kicked Bret in the balls. Then the build up for Bret returning to get his hands on Vince was odd, cause Batista for no reason just comes out and attacks him. Where is the hart dynasty in all this? Was Bret just used to set up Batista vs. Cena at WM. Anyone think Bret is just old and crazy now.
Doesn't seem like there is a thread dedicated to this, so here it is.
Think we went over this a little bit in the free flow thread. But, I think this is just WWE painting itself into a corner.
I like Bret Hart. I was excited to see him come back. Even though they changed his music, which I think was a big mistake. He comes back, he talks to the fans, we all get some closure to the events in Montreal. That should have been it.
Then they waited weeks to bring him back, allowing everyone who didn't know who Bret Hart is, (kids) to be like 'who the hell is this old guy and why is he back again?' WWE is just not letting this go, and it is never going to come of anything. Hart can't wrestle. Nobody wants to even see him attempt to get in the ring. It's a lose/lose situation for everyone involved, and I think they car crash angle was just thrown together as an excuse as to why he won't be wrestling, which all could have been avoided if they had just had him return as a host and let it go.
If they had let him manage the Dynasty, I would have been interested to see it. But who else would have? Bret can't back up anything in the ring. The Hart name means nothing to this new generation of fans, otherwise the Dynasty would have already been over. The addition of Bret Hart isn't going to change anything, in my opinion. Bret is in no shape to wrestle, he is an empty threat, a vehicle to further a story line that is going to be just as lame with or without him.
My main problem with this is that WWE has the return of Bret hart...and it's being treated like a midcard angle. I have no problem with Batista's involvement or stuff (because for me, saying Vince hired him is more than enough as an explanation), and I don't have a problem with the build of Bret geaten screwed week after week because like we have seen with HBK in 2006, that just will make for an ever sweeter beat down at Mania when it comes.
What else could they have treated it as? It really isn't ANY angle. Bringing Bret back week after week isn't a build up for anything. He is not capable of wrestling. I just don't see it. So what if they keep him there until Mania. What is he going to do, interfere in the ME so someone gets DQd, thus not requiring the WWE to give us a decent match at the biggest show of the year? And in the meantime? Nobody but us dedicated fans even know who Bret Hart IS.
But we have seen that WWE can put a Vince Mcmahon program all over our programming and hype it like there's no tomorrow. Are you telling me Donald Trump deserves that but all Bret gets are two hyped appareances, one random appareance at the overrun of the show and then a segment saying goodbye and gettting ran over not even at the top of the hour of the show? Bad. Bret and Vince should be plasted all over WWE.com, announcers should be talking of that shit week in and week out and practically closing every Raw.
Nobody expected Trump to be anything but what he was. Trump has a name people still know. I don't think that this is the farewell Bret Hart deserved, and it all could have been avoided if they just let it go at the first appearance. Dragging it out week after week is just letting people believe that something is going to come of it, and Bret Hart isn't capable of delivering in the ring, the most he can do is interfere.
I think the fact that the WWE ISN'T building it up as if there is going to be a huge thing revolving around it is because there isn't. They either know that building it up is going to result in a huge let down, or they are planning a swerve. Maybe Bret is going to appear at Mania and align himself with Vince. I wouldn't be surprised.
