That would be SO FUCKING AWESOME. He's one of the few that can be both a great heel and a great face and both work for him.
Christian, I don't know, I just don't see him being the main guy in wrestling anytime soon.

Yes, but not for a few years. He needs to be at the point where his heel character is so over that the majority starts to love it, just as they did with Jericho.

In the way that he can do a moonsault and Ted cannot. Plus every other way.
Also, what do you think of Bret Hart btw?

Old school Bret Hart? Or what is going on now with Bret Hart?
Well, I think old school Bret Hart was one of the most technically sound wrestlers ever. He put on some amazing matches and I loved the whole character. I was a huge Bret Hart fan when he was actually wrestling, during the whole HBK feud and then later with Austin. I think the Hart Foundation is one of the most under rated stables of all time.
More recently, I kind of wish he hadn't came back. There isn't anything to be gained, speaking as a fan, from having him involved in this angle. I get the whole history and why it is marketable and everything, but I just have this suspicion that no matter what happens it is going to taint my memories of him.

Gonna agree with FK... I always loved Hart. However, he knew upon coming back people were going to want to see some form on in ring action from him, which is nearly impossible. And to go even further they have to go and "break his leg" to further give a reason why it can't happen. It was just completely ridiculous. Just go ahead and say it for what it was, they called out his stroke...just say it's too dangerous for him to wrestle. They did it with Austin, what's the difference.

The whole thing has just been underwhelming, for how much story it should have, it's kinda sad. I think part of it is what nou posted a while ago, http://www.impactwrestling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37561, post #10. Bret looks like shit, and he was never that charismatic to start with. He also looks like he's going to hurt himself anytime he does something. Idk, I think the leg thing also may be a desperate attempt to also garner more interest in this storyline. It's pretty sad Cena got involved with this, when he could be facing Taker at WM instead. =(

It's been decent, but today's fan base is so far away from Bret Hart it's not even funny. It's sad they had to bring Cena in to garner interest in the whole thing.
I agree. But I was more realistic when he returned. I actually expected something to happen that would prevent him from getting into the ring again. The days that he could have put on a good show with someone like HBK have long past. I knew he was going to return to host Raw, I thought maybe he'd ref a match and knew he'd call out Vince on all of the MSJ stuff.
I won't lie that I wasn't excited to see him back, but even that was shit on by the fact that they changed his damn music.
I don't understand why they don't just let it go. The fact that they waited, what, like 3 weeks after his initial return to bring him back killed any interest the new generation of wrestling fans may have ever had about him. I would have been much more content with just having him back to guest host, being as that is more than I ever expected to happen.

Well it's still not clear of how long he's going to be sticking around, so we'll see. It's possible he'll stay for a bit after Mania. I mean let's face it, those guys need something to happen to them...they've done jack shit since being around. And if the name HART Dynasty isn't enough to get you a little bit of a push maybe having Bret behind them will.
See the irony though? The new generation of wrestling fans have no CLUE what the name Hart means. Cena isn't going to be there to rub off enough on Bret that anyone is going to care enough to get behind him, even if he does stay and manage the Dynasty. All the see is an old man who can't get in the ring and show why he is even there. Bret has no credibility with the new fan base whatsoever. I don't see any way that the fans are going to accept him back, no matter how much they liked him back then. He can talk the talk, but he can't walk the walk anymore. And even the talk he has doesn't amount to much due to the circumstances he left under.
