Bret wrestled on the European tour in April and then in Kuwait in May. Then his match in South Africa with Stone Cold in December.

Was Bret on a sabbatical or had his contract expired? Did Bischoff make him an offer? Was Bret in line to be the third man in the NWO? I heard it was going to be Davey Boy.

E: Please move this to Wrest, sorry mods.

Bret was offered a deal by WCW in the early-fall. Bulldog was said to have been ready to jump at the end of August, but he instead resigned with WWE. Eric Bischoff denies any plan to put Bulldog in the NWO.

Neither one of them was going to be the third man at BATB as any chance of them going to WCW didn't come until over a month after that show. According to Bischoff, he only ever considered Hogan and Sting (if Hogan wouldn't do it) for that role.
