Bret Hart in 1996
By Scott Keith on 23 June 2019
When Bret Hart was gone from the WWF after dropping the Championship to Shawn Michaels at W.M. 12 for several months before coming back in the Fall of that year, was he not under contract to the company? I seem to remember on a live episode of Raw them playing up if Hart was going to re-sign or go to WCW. I recall when Bret said he was staying, they cut to Vince McMahon on commentary who had a "Whew!" expression. I'm assuming this was storyline mixed with a little real life? I couldn't see Vince giving him a live mic just to announce he was going to the competition if he wasn't already signed with him.
Man, you need to watch Wrestling with Shadows. It will blow your mind.
