I'm not sure if I'll watch TNA's show. There's only so many times that I can hear the word "Brother"
According to Rumors Hogan has bought in old buddies like X-PAc, Val Venus, Scott Hall and his other cronies tonight.
I've been a fan of the hitman since I was a wee little tot turning on Stampede Wrestling on Saturday Afternoon to watch greats like the Great Gamma, Archie Gouldie, Bret Hart, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith and JR Foley. I followed the hitman through his career and remember being shocked in the days before Internet when he pinned Rick Flair for the World title in Saskatoon.
I remember chatting with Bret at a Calgary Hitman game and was surprised about how well spoken and gracious he was.
I remember seeing the end of the Hitman's career, hearing about the stroke, hearing about his brothers death and the disintigration of the Hart family, and the death of his parents.
I remember reading his book and being completely blown away by the darkness that covered the period of time between the Screw Job and his stroke.
I think as Calgarians we all cheer a little bit for the Hitman.
I know I'm hoping that he can get the final sendoff that he so richly deserves, and I hope that the fans will appreciate this one last time watching Bret Hart getting his closure.
Go Hitman Go

After watching the first segment of Raw (which destroyed anything that TNA which looks like garbage tonight) I marked out. Its great to see Hitman out there again. It was great to see Hart and Michael's in the ring again.

Wrestling is so damn dumb. This is the first time I've watched it in years. I can't believe I ever used to watch such garbage. But good to see Brett Hart, he is a Calgary legend. I wish they could just do the Hitman segments and skip the rest of the show.
