It seems to have flatlined. THe other week when Bret ran out and attacked McMahon, it was kinda sad to see just a handful of people in the audience bother to even leave their seats.

He wanted to come back, so yes, he should have. Who are we to say whether he should or shouldn't have? I'm happy for him. He finally wants to put this all behind him and he seems to remembered more now for Montreal than his wrestling career, which is a disgrace. This angle will put all of that to bed. The fact that he'll get a great sendoff at the end of it all and finally be able put Montreal behind him is enough of a reason for him to have come back. He's remembered more for Montreal than for his wrestling career because for about ten years afterwards he wouldn't stop commenting, giving interviews, posting, writing or talking about it. You define your own career and Bret made sure his career was remembered for Montreal above and beyond anything Vince McMahon ever done. In the last couple of years he's decided to move on, but to be honest Bret is probably as much to blame as anyone if he's defined by that night in 1997.

I think the criticism is sort of the same as if, say, a baseball player that used to be a legend came out of retirement to pinch hit, and then fell down trying to swing a bat. It is just sad to see. As for this overshadowing Montreal, no way. It doesn't work that way. If he wants us all to forget Montreal, then he would have to literally break Vince's back or something. A kayfabe angle will not overshadow the screwjob.

Yeah, not like WWE kept rehashing the screwjob over and over again. And as for him talking about it, blame the people that interviewed him. It was one question he was asked over and over again. There were threads about screwjob every week here. If Bret Hart didn't get over it, then WWE and the fans didn't do any better.

It's everyone else's fault. Beyond the wit of the man to say "I've moved on. Next question" ? The man became a full time martyr with a scripted career which ended the way the producer wanted it to. Outside the wrestling bubble, that doesn't make ANY sense. At least the controversial part doesn't. It's why the screwjob didn't register at all on the mainstream stage.

no.
how pathetic is it that the company is promoting a match between a 60+ year old non-wrestler who will bleed and a stroke victim who hasn't wrestled in years?
and are they really promoting it for the biggest card of the year, WM?
just stupid.
