  • Hart Possibly Appearing On Raw, Lethal To Pay Tribute To Savage

    — Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer says he was given the impression that Bret Hart would be appearing at tonight’s Monday Night Raw taping in Portland, Oregon.

    Last night at WWE Over the Limit, Hart’s former rival Jerry Lawler defeated Michael Cole in a Kiss My Foot Match. Harking back to Hart’s victory over Lawler in a Kiss My Foot Match at the 1995 King of the Ring, Hart came to the ring after the match and, along with Jim Ross and Eve, forced Cole back into the ring so he could kiss The King’s foot, as agreed in the the pre-match stipulation. “The Hitman” then placed Cole in the Sharpshooter to accomplish this.

    — Chavo Guerrero stayed down for a few minutes following his match with Sin Cara last night at WWE Over the Limit due to an apparent knee injury. He was said to be okay following the bout.

  • VIDEO: Bret Hart Remembers Macho Man Randy Savage

    — WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart commented on the passing of Randy Savage hours after learning of the news.

    “He was so loved and respected by everyone, especially the ones that worked with him,” Hart said of his former colleague. “I think we’re all feeling a real deep sense of loss. He was such a good man and somebody that we all loved and cared about so much. Randy was a real one-of-a-kind guy.

    “I don’t know how much you can explain how much of a loss this is to the wrestling world. We’ve lost so many wrestlers over the years and in this case at least, I feel a little better knowing God checked Randy out rather than something like drugs or something like that.”

  • WWE Edits Hart’s TE Speech, Goldberg Upset With Hitman

    Bret Hart spoke with Tough Enough contestants on last night’s episode. The terms “wrestling” and “wrestlers” were censored during his speech.

    It is said that show producers Shed Media US are still in talks with WWE regarding what terms can and cannot be used on the program.

    The WWE Hall of Famer discussed his appearance on Twitter, writing, “The main points I said were to never hurt yourself or your opponent and to never forget the fan inside you that was sitting in the stands.”

    Two-time World Champion Bill Goldberg, who struck Hart with a thrust kick to the head during a match at WCW Starrcade 1999 (resulting in a severe concussion), replied to Hart’s remarks.

    He wrote, “I feel like you were talking to me….”

    Regarding the injury, Hart speculated years ago that he may have suffered up to three additional concussions within matches over the course of that day along with the days immediately following Starrcade, having been unaware of the severity of his injuries. The sum total of those injuries left Hart with post-concussion syndrome and ultimately forced his retirement from professional wrestling. Hart wrote a Calgary Sun column in which he said that Goldberg “had a tendency to injure everyone he worked with.”

  • Bret Hart Comments On WWE Banning The Word “Wrestling”

    The UK Sun has published a new interview with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, which you can read here in its entirety. One of the more interesting quotes was about WWE eliminating the word “wrestling” from the company name and on television.

    Hart explains that no matter what you call the company – WWE will always be about wrestling – and takes a swipe at Hulk Hogan in the process (it’s hard to resist):

    “I’m kind of scratching my head about that. I don’t know that it makes any difference. Wrestling is wrestling. Call it whatever name you want, it’s still wrestling. I think WWE is synonymous with wrestling. If WWE doesn’t stand for World Wrestling Entertainment then what does it stand for?”

    “It may be a case of Vince trying to monopolise wrestling even more than he has. I think a lot of the wrestlers today, judging by the styles they have, they are wrestlers. They are not bodybuilders or powerlifters or strongmen like in the days of Hulk Hogan, where it was more the look. The young stars today don’t want to be Hulk Hogan. They want to be Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels.

    • Bret Hart Explains Why He Was Disappointed With WM27

      WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently spoke with SunSport and shared his thoughts on WrestleMania 27. The Hitman said overall, he was disappointed with the show and despite all the buildup, found it “anti-climactic.” Here are some highlights of what he said about:

      The Rock’s Involvement:

      “I was hoping The Rock would be a little more interesting than he was. I would have had him involved in the John Cena v Miz match right off the bat. My initial thinking about two months ago was that Rock was going to be working with Cena and somehow Miz would be involved, and it would be a triple threat type of match. I thought Rock needed to be in the match, not just talking about it. Don’t get me wrong — Rock is a great talent. Just looking at him, I think he is ready to get back in the ring. I’m sure he could have wrestled at WrestleMania and he should have done so. The excitement going in to WrestleMania this year was all tied in with Rock and when he didn’t actually do anything but stand around and be a mouthpiece all night, that didn’t really work. To me as a fan, if I want to see him be a mouthpiece then I’ll watch one of his movies. I wanted to see him do some wrestling. I guess I just expected a little bit more.”

      Sheamus-Bryan Getteing Bumped & Cole vs. Lawler:

      “I also had to scratch my head and wonder how the WWE could pull the Sheamus v Daniel Bryan match and let Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole go for 30 minutes. It just seemed really crazy to me. My biggest disappointment was that two of the best wrestlers in the company, Bryan and Sheamus, didn’t get a chance to show what they can do on a WrestleMania. I thought Lawler v Cole was built up really well, with most fans wanting to get their hands round Cole’s neck by the time WrestleMania came. But I don’t know why they went so long. It’s not a match that needs to go very long. Michael Cole clearly can’t actually do anything. That’s the part I don’t get. It should have been about four or five minutes long max. Sadly going so long, meant they really took all the light away from the other wrestlers that earned it through the year.”

      CM Punk vs. Randy Orton:

      “He (CM Punk) has got a really good ring presence. Better than anyone else, CM Punk understands his wrestling persona. He’s very serious about that character, and I like that passion that he has. It comes across in how he is day-to-day, just being around him. He’s a very committed, serious professional. His match with Orton, I thought, was really credible. To put together the match the way they did I thought it complemented both wrestlers, and they really told a good story. I liked the story, I liked the finish. It had a lot of twists and turns, you weren’t quite sure what was going to occur. I found myself going along with it all the way through and not knowing what was going to happen next — and to me that is a good wrestling match.”

    • Bret Hart Previews WrestleMania: Taker-HHH, Cena-Miz & More

      WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart has updated his blog over at BretHart.com with his predictions for Sunday’s WrestleMania 27 pay-per-view. Here are some highlights of what Bret said about:

      Undertaker vs. Triple H: “The Undertaker and Triple H segment with Shawn Michaels played out exactly like I expected, the usual smoke blowing up the rectum stuff, more grunts and then a staring contest, thank God Shawn was there just to add something, anything to it. I suppose there isn’t much else these two legends can do as far as buildup goes but it came across to me as having little imagination, the match itself should be one of the better match ups because Taker brings it all the way for Wrestlemania and Triple H can turn it up when he wants to. Triple H has had some hard fought battles over the years, but I don’t know if he’s ever had his chance to literally blow them away at Wrestlemania but this might be his best chance. Taker, in my opinion, is truly one of the all-time best and time and time again, he has delivered the best match on the show so I expect a good solid match, old school but intense. It could steal the show.”

      Randy Orton vs. CM Punk: “I expect that Randy Orton will give a great fight at Mania against CM Punk. This is one that, again, seemed to build up pretty much like I expected; same promo and psychology I envisioned before they even came out on RAW last night. These two are some of my favorites and they’re at the very top of their game. I don’t like to criticize either one of them, but I do wish there was more possibility for the unexpected. The angles are becoming harder and harder to differentiate from what they were doing a few months ago. With the storylines, I know it’s a difficult job to be original in a business where everything has been done, but with two pros like these two, you’d think their buildup could’ve been slightly more unpredictable and actually think up something fitting as far as drama and intrigue. So I guess what I’m saying is the talent is there, I’m curious to see where it all ends up at Mania.”

      John Cena vs. The Miz: “As for the Miz versus Cena match, again I thought for sure that The Rock would end up as part of it all along, but maybe not. If not, then I feel very disappointed. Rock brings so much. He looks great and he stoked a fire in me with his blazing promos. if anything, this storyline seems empty without him, which is a shame because Miz and Cena deserve better. This one seems to be all about Rock versus Cena. I thought some of the writing these past weeks came seriously close to killing the goose laying the golden eggs in WWE. I think with the main event, as a fan, I’d like to see them get to the damn point and focus on that, rather than dressing something up to look like a something else. Oh, and by the way the point is the actual wrestling. ”

      Bret concluded, “As for the actual line-up, it’s been a slow build for much of the card, but for the past few weeks the promos and backstage situations seemed to be rather plain and flat, totally predictable … I expect an excellent show, but I’m putting my faith in some of the dark horse matchups to make the most noise.”

    • Bischoff Talks Bret Bashing Him, WM27, iMPACT! On The Road

      TNA’s Eric Bischoff was one of the featured guests on this week’s live edition (03/07/11) of the award-winning Monday Night Mayhem.

      Eric Bischoff Reacts To Bret Hart’s Twitter Remarks Directed At Him & Hulk Hogan, Discusses What TNA Can Do To Not Fall Into The Shadow Of WrestleMania XXVII, Why He Was “Surprised” When He Saw The “3.3.11” Vignette On TNA iMPACT, The Positives He Took From TNA’s iMPACT Tapings In Fayetteville, The Reaction From Spike TV To Last Thursday’s iMPACT, What He Feels That Sting Has Left To Offer TNA At This Point In Time In His Career, His Response To Those That Question TNA’s Use Of Incorporating The Stars Of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” Into Their Programming, Why Matt Morgan’s Chances At Seeing The TNA World Title Are “As Good Or Better Than Anyone In TNA Wrestling,” Jimmy Hart’s Decision To Leave TNA & Return To The WWE, His Own Personal Assessment Of Involving Family (Especially The Use Of Children) In Wrestling Storylines, How The Concept Of truTV’s “Micro Championship Wrestling” Came About, The Importance Of Establishing Credibility As “An Entertainment Product” In Helping TNA Get To The Next Level, Plus Much More In The Return Of “The Hot Seat With Eric Bischoff” (Flavored By Sizzlin Sauces)

      You can listen to an MP3 of the interview by clicking here.

      Interview highlights courtesy of The Mayhem’s official correspondent, Paterson from New Jersey:

      The positives that he took from the recent TNA iMPACT tapings in Fayetteville, NC & the importance of establishing credibility as “an entertainment product” in helping TNA get to the next level: “Any number of them really, but overall, one of the things I was most excited about (both being there and also watching it on television) was just the energy that a broadcast from a venue with a large crowd, a traditional type of crowd, and not a soundstage crowd, had. The difference in the energy, and the vibe, and the feel of the entire show was completely different than what we’re used to. I think that episode proved what I’ve been saying here on ‘The Hot Seat’ for the last six or seven months, in that for TNA to get to the next level, we have to find a way to get our show out in the arenas, so that we could have the credibility. I don’t mean wrestling credibility per se, I mean the credibility as an entertainment product, so that people at home watching the show feel that energy, and it translates and gives us credibility as an event.”

      The thought process behind TNA using the 3.3.11 vignettes for Sting’s TNA return just weeks after the WWE first starting airing similar vignettes to build The Undertaker’s WWE return on 2.21.11: “I had nothing to do with this, so I can’t give you any insight. I was rather surprised to be honest with you when I saw it. I won’t go into any deeper than that.”

      His reaction to the comments made by Bret Hart on Twitter this past week that were directed at both Hulk Hogan & himself: “I didn’t read any harsh words from Hulk Hogan. I was certainly made away of some of the comments by Bret Hart that were pretty harsh & negative. It’s really funny, I actually picked Bret Hart up at the airport when he was on a flight to Los Angeles when Owen died, and I was the first person to meet him at the airport. Bret actually heard about the death of Owen while he was on the plane. I was the first person to meet Bret at the airport and consoled him as best I could. I developed a pretty good relationship with Bret. I feel sad for Bret, because Bret is one of those people, and there are a lot of them, he’s the type of person that needs someone to hate in order to feel significant himself.”

      What he believes that TNA can do not to fall into the shadow of WrestleMania XXVII: “It’s hard, because WrestleMania is such a big event. It’s been around so long. It gets a lot of mainstream media attention, and fans from all over the world are thinking about WrestleMania. I think it would be silly for TNA to try & compete against that kind of awareness, because we don’t have the resources. With that being said, I think if we continue doing what we’ve been doing, which is building momentum, we can continue to fine tune our presentation if we continue to find an edge, and put that edge on our product, and keep the audience engaged, and do things to keep them interested, and try our best. We just have to do our best to continue putting out the product we have been producing, and when WrestleMania is over, hopefully we would have gained even more momentum, more loyalty, & interest in our product.”
