You guys want an avatar bet that Brett Hart wrestles a WWE match within 2 years.
Some things you were never going to see in a WWE wrestling ring ever again, according to the great internet rumour brigade:
Hulk Hogan - After he ratted on Vince McMahon in court about Steroids.
Scott Hall (before his short return) - Because he had drinking problems.
Steve Austin - Because the WWE doesnt support wife beating.
Matt Hardy - Because of the relationship with Lita and Edge.
Eric Bischoff - Because of his role in the Monday Night Wars.
And the list goes on and on and on. Vince is a promoter and he will do anything he thinks will make him money. Brett Hart, can say all he wants, but if he wants to earn decent money as a wrestler he will be in the WWE. Maybe he wont ever want to do that, only he knows, but he clearly loves wrestling and it is well within the realms of possibility.
The stroke he had, is obviously a barrier, and i havent seen Brett for a couple of years, when he wasnt wrestling due to that stroke and only played a commissioners role. Suffice to say, I would be very surprised if he could not wrestle a match for the right price. For living proof, look at the iron sheik in the Gimmick Battle Royal a couple of years ago, or Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania III when his back was so bad the morning of the Match, that he needed a specially prepared back brace. For the right price, i have no doubt that Brett Hart will return.
