Yes, that's exactly it. He also wanted Martha to try to get Owen's footage rights in the lawsuit for the same reason, but I forget if she either didn't pursue that since it wasn't the point, or knew that wasn't realistic. Either way, she felt betrayed by him going to WWE, same with how the other Harts undermined her in the Owen lawsuit for their own interests. Bret's actions are far less egregious, but yeah, if I was Martha, I would probably feel some level of disgust, too. I… yeah I never understand that move. What a carney move to make although the harts seem to be this ultra weird wrestling family. The Harts were carnies. They're all about wrestling.

Happy he signed it quietly. No need to be loud about it

I trust Bret to know what's right for him, so I'm happy for him.

Incredibly selfish yes, but I can see why they did it. Ironically, they seem to lack a certain organ despite their name.

I think because Bret and Owen are so beloved and respected by everyone, and their families are mostly nobodies, it's easy to forget that most of the Harts are, by a lot of accounts, kinda shitty people.

As much as I hate WWE and as much as I did want him in AEW, I don’t blame him. If there was a guy who deserved to get paid for an amazing career and for all the shit he’s gone through in his life, it’s Bret Hart. So I don’t blame him. Sadly, WWE controls his legacy and I know his legacy is very important to him.

It would be funny if it's his old 1996 deal re-engaged.

I will laugh my tits off when they announce the "Bret Hart Invitational Tournament" for the next Saudi show😜 Better than it being the “Stu Hart Invitational Tournament” because that would be S.H.I.T.

Yep. Wasn’t part of the reason he came back in 2010 because WWE had the video library to the majority of his career and he wanted a say in how he was presented ? I mean WWE put stampede stuff on the network early on and then took it down because bret owns the rights to his stuff in stampede and nobody asked him. in a way I can understand why he’s that way given all that happened in Montreal. Yes, that's exactly it. He also wanted Martha to try to get Owen's footage rights in the lawsuit for the same reason, but I forget if she either didn't pursue that since it wasn't the point, or knew that wasn't realistic. Either way, she felt betrayed by him going to WWE, same with how the other Harts undermined her in the Owen lawsuit for their own interests. Bret's actions are far less egregious, but yeah, if I was Martha, I would probably feel some level of disgust, too. He and his parents were plaintiffs in the lawsuit as well as Martha, but it was Ellie (Nattie’s mother) and Diana who undermined the case by sending copies of their parents’ documents to McDevitt among other things. There was other behaviour on their parts that really strained relationships among the siblings and, in the end, forced Martha to settle the lawsuit for $18 million from the initial demand of $50 million. Afterwards, Martha blamed the Harts for not supporting the lawsuit fully and, essentially, cut the family off even from access to the kids. Until Oje and Athena came of age, they likely had no connection to their father’s side. Martha has kept Owen’s legacy for her own, as is her right. As frustrating as it is for fans not to have the kind of access to his work that we might of others, the fact remains that WWE killed her husband and that she considers it an insult that his killers should continue to profit from his memory.

I’d love to see Bret as the GM of NXT 2.0. He does not even need to appear every week or anything. Just the thought of the most serious wrestler around with all that wackiness around him would be funny imo. Not to mention, isnt Shawn Michaels working as a producer or something for NXT? Bret and Shawn have long since made up, but it would be interesting to see them working together in some way. Shawn: Oh, and one more thing. My wrestlers are not going to do the job for your wrestlers. Bret: sadface

I need to get Bret's thoughts on NXT 2.0, because he IS the same age as the average viewer after all. I like to think he's a huge Mandy Rose and Toxic Attraction fan. "Nobody ever got a boner watching Duke Hudson"

Bret should get as much money as possible out of that company. Good for him.

I don't want to go back and read through, but has this been confirmed as anything more than "People within AEW believe..."?
