On November 9th 1997, the wrestling world was stunned when Vince McMahon double-crossed Bret "The Hitman" Hart by hiding the true finish of his match with Shawn Michaels from him, telling him it would be a double disqualification at Survivor Series, when in actual fact, Michaels put him in the Sharpshooter and Vince rang the bell on him. Since then, there has been mostly nothing but bitterness, including the death of his brother Owen on WWE's watch. Bret's 2006 induction in the Hall of Fame did not pass off without incident either.
But now, over 12 years after Montreal, Bret Hart will finally return to a WWE ring, as he will be the special guest host of Monday Night RAW, live tonight from Dayton, Ohio. What does Bret have in mind to warrant a return after so long away? Does he finally have the courage to stand up to Vince McMahon? Will he seek revenge on Shawn Michaels? Is he there to help out The Hart Dynasty? Whatever it is, you can be sure that Bret will change the course of WWE history, starting tonight.
Bret also has two big matches to oversee on his first night back. The first of these is for the Unified Tag Team Titles as his nemesis Shawn Michaels teams with his DX partner Triple H to defend the titles against Jeri-Show. And if Jeri-Show fail to win the titles, Chris Jericho will definitely be gone from RAW for good. Will the Hitman's arrival put extra pressure on HBK, or will Bret shock the world and actually help DX win?
The other match pits Kofi Kingston against Randy Orton. The Viper won their match at TLC, and he still harbours ambitions of becoming WWE Champion once again. However, this didn't stop him from preventing Kingston from becoming US Champion last week. Will Kofi finally get the big one-on-one win over Orton, or will the leader of Legacy put Kofi away for good?
One man who will not be on RAW tonight is John Cena, who will be at the Fiesta Bowl tonight. Last week, he defeated WWE Champion Sheamus via DQ, but Sheamus then took him out with two Irish Curse Kicks in a row. With Cena away, what havoc will the Celtic Warrior cause, and will the WWE Champion be looking for Bret Hart?
One person Bret has been high on recently is the Divas Champion Melina, but last week at a house show, she tore the ACL in one of her knees, and could be out for some time. Will Bret strip her of the title, and will Melina's main rival Maryse take advantage of the champion's delicate state?
You can be sure that the Excellence of Execution has a lot to do tonight, and surely you can't miss the return of one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Who else is there to watch? Some orange goblin?
EDIT: Melina has been stripped of the Divas Title - an 8 Diva Tournament begins tonight to crown a new champion.

There is one thing tonight that has me far more interested than anything else, on Raw or Impact.
The Orton / Kofi match.
Way I see it, if Kofi wins, he's winning the Royal Rumble and facing Batista. If Orton wins by nefarious means, then Kofi's winning the Rumble and facing Orton, who will take the title back at Elimination Chamber. If Orton wins clean, Kofi's momentum is shot and he'll probably take about 7th place in the Rumble before competing in and probably losing Money in the Bank.

You know, as dumb as it is, it just dawned on me: This whole Screwjob thing happened when I was just beginning to follow wrestling, I was just 14-15 years old. If everything goes well, it'll be the first time Bret and Shawn will be on-screen together since that time. Holy crap.  Never thought I'd see that day happen. |

Tonight's matchup: References to the Montreal Screwjob vs. mentions of John Cena being at the Fiesta Bowl.
I am NOT putting a commercial in this week's matchup, as I do want to catch TNA during Raw's commercials. We'll do "creepy Taco Bell commercial" next week. ;D

Guys, simple personal request.
PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL iMPACT! IN THIS THREAD.
Plenty of people will watch one and DVR or catch a replay of the other, thus avoiding this board. To spoil it for them is down right jerky.

Or just go with a good old-fashioned, "Little Bastard" chant. Fitting enough. And hey, in terms of storyline he is an actual bastard, so not exactly an insult.
Granted, don't so much mind Hornswoggle myself, but either way.
