Bret “The Hitman” Hart Returns to the WWE (WWF)
From Examiner.com, ((This week on Monday Night Raw, five time WWE Champion and two time WCW Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart was announced as next week's special guest host.
Following more than a decade of ill-will and resentment harbored by Bret Hart as a result of the infamous Montreal Screw Job, WWE CEO Vince McMahon and the "Excellence of Execution" have apparently put troubled waters behind them.))
If you don’t know, Bret Hart and McMahon had a huge falling out back in the day. It ended with Bret hitting McMahon in the eye. It was called The Montreal Screwjob (You can read the interesting story here)
Well, it seems they've patched things up and here's hoping Bret has a storyline where he pays McMahon back for the “Screwjob”.
Side note: Strangely enough, Bret seems to be connected to Lonesome Dove franchise playing Luther Root in two series. ("Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years" and "Lonesome Dove: The Series" )
Side Note II: I found this amusing little note about Bret and it gave me a WTF moment: ((Was once "managed" by actor William Shatner, during Shatner's *very* brief stint with the WWF. )) When the hell did this happen? Shatner really?
