I would love it but can Bret go 60 minutes?

[LOC Veteran]

There is only ONE wrestler in the world that could remotely carry Bret through a match given his health condition, and that is Shawn Michaels. If Bret is going to wrestle again (and I still doubt it), you know he had to forgive HBK to get into this position. Knowing his health situation, he'd have to trust HBK bigtime to go in any match with him.

I mean, we all know we're gonna see Vince in the sharpshooter eventually (lol) but can Bret go 60 minutes considering his age now and everything? I doubt he could do it, but never say never in wrestling, right? After all, HBK was supposedly never able to wrestle again and look at him the past 6 or 7 years now. He's still one of, if not the best worker WWE has (he's up there with Cena and Undertaker etc, and I don't mean ability btw) which is saying alot.

[Rappy Veteran]

yeah I mean look back at the Flair vs HBK match I never thought that would be good but how amazing was that!

[LOC Veteran]

Exactly. HBK is amazing, he really is. And Bret obviously knows this. If he's going to get in the ring with anyone down the road, it's gotta be HBK. I mean the only other person I could imagine pulling Bret through a match like that would be either the Undertaker or possibly Triple H himself.

Matt Hardy continues to taunt his ex-girlfriend Amy "Lita" Dumas as he has posted an image on his Twitter account labeled "The NEW & IMPROVED Team Extreme" with two women dressed up as the former WWE Diva.

He then posted the following regarding the image: "So who's better.. the original Lita, or my new Lita? HAHA!!"

Wow, Jeff needs a shave...bad. And no wonder he always wears those weirdo gloves on his hands, look at that tat on his right hand! ugh!

And the woman on the left by Jeff there, she's got a little baby fat on her tummy :p

[Rappy Veteran]

Actually I found RAW to be quite good last night.

And many, many people know who Timbaland is. Especially with the 25 and under crowd. And especially Americans lol

On last night's episode of ECW, Tommy Dreamer fought against Zack Ryder with his career on the line. Unfortunately, he was defeated by the young grappler, meaning that Dreamer had to make good on his vow to leave ECW forever.

Following the match, Dreamer went on a speech thanking the old and the new ECW, and told the WWE Universe they are his family ? a family he?ll miss.

"Thank you so much. I love you all so much," he said, shedding a few tears.

With the loss, Dreamer ? the last remaining member of Paul Heyman's ECW on the new age roster ? left his prized ECW T-shirt in the ring. Amid chants from the ring, Dreamer paused to hug his wife (former ECW performer and Penthouse model Beulah McGillicutty) at ringside and carried his daughters up the ramp as he said goodbye one final time.

Dreamer is legitimately parting ways with World Wrestling Entertainment as he requested his release from the organization last week.

Don't tell me that we are going to see Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart at WM 26!

[Rappy Veteran]

nah Bret will be given by Vince a chance to get revenge on the screw job by letting him ref the HBK vs Taker match :p

[MightyJordan]

It's a good idea, but it probably won't happen at WM26, due to the location.

I reckon whatever they do, it will be done in Montreal again.

I just wonder how many zero's are on the cheque that Bret sold his soul for...

Just messing, I don't blame him. It allows 2 things:

1) Vince to be seen as the guy who brought Bret back

2) Bret to round off his career on a positive note

Problem is, will Vince's (the person not the character) ego come out and end up screwing Bret again? And if they ever once make Owen into a related storyline, I'll - well, I'd do nothing, but it would be tasteless.

Would Vince sell out Taker in such a way? Letting his WM defeat be by a screwjob? Taker is a homegrown WWE product - Vince is VERY protective of the whole "Taker" thing...

I think he meant let Bret screw HBK in the match.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

That would make more sense, and allow Taker a way to not be beaten at WM, thus prolonging the prophecy...

You do know he will rule us all, right?

[Rappy Veteran]

I think he meant let Bret screw HBK in the match.

yeah that's what I meant :p

There are many things I am looking forward to in 2010. From a non-wrestling point of view, one of the things I am most looking forward to is an end to 2009. From politics, the economy and the general malaise within the television industry, I am optimistic that the new year will be a brighter one than the one we have been struggling through for the last 363 days.

From a professional wrestling perspective, I am excited to see a heightened level of energy and interest in the business. TNA has ratcheted up their game, and Spike TV has put some nitrous into the tank with a live Monday Night head to head broadcast and some serious advertising and marketing.

As expected, WWE is reacting to the competition by bringing in Bret Hart.

I am happy for Bret. Hopefully, by going back to work for Vince and the WWE, Bret will be able to put a painful and personally traumatic part of his life behind him. I have always liked Bret as a person and respected him as a professional. It was disappointing to me when I would read or hear comments that Bret would make, that reflected the bitterness he has been carrying around with him for so long. Bret has an opportunity now to write the last chapter of his book in a way that will allow fans to remember him in a more positive way.

I wish the best for Bret and wish good luck to TNA as well.

Clearly TNA is up against a Wall Street mega-corp bully with a billion dollar bank account and a Chairman that thinks only he should have any meaningful market share of the professional wrestling business (even though he's embarrassed to admit he's in the professional wrestling business). It will be an up-hill battle for TNA indeed.

The real winner though, will be the wrestling fans.

Based on the mind-numbingly stupid Raw I had the misfortune of dropping in on last week, perhaps the fact that TNA stepped up and is at least taking a swing at the bully was enough to make McMahon realize that he could not afford to take his audience for granted and continue to shove tripe down the throats of his Goliath "universe" while David was reaching for a stone.

This Monday Night...win, lose, or draw I have to give credit to the folks at TNA and Spike. They could have taken the easy path and put their best foot forward un-opposed. That would make the most sense to many people. But by at least getting into the fight, TNA is most likely going to gain the awareness and respect of a completely different audience.

And wrestling fans are not only going to have a choice this Monday night, they will most likely see a higher quality product all the way around. And for that they should thank TNA.

The Figure Four Weekly Newsletter has provided some new details concerning WWE's early plans for Wrestlemania 26. We have been reporting within the last several weeks that the creative team has several matches in the works, and the early plan is calling for The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho vs Edge (assuming Edge is ready to return), Randy Orton vs Ted DiBiase and Triple H vs Sheamus for The WWE Title. Additionally, it's being rumored that the creative team is discussing some type of match between Vince McMahon and Bret Hart, and it would most likely be a street fight of sorts where Hart would not have to take any big bumps.

For those of course wondering how John Cena will be involved in WrestleMania, creative is pushing hard to get The Rock to return for a big match against Cena at the PPV, but that's probably not going to happen. The backup plan at this point is to have an inter-promotional match between Cena and Batista.
