While Bret Hart reconciled with WWE in the mid-to-late 2000s, MLW President Court Bauer says there were plans in place for a Harts vs. WWE feud at one point.
During a recent appearance on Ad Free Shows’ The Insiders podcast, the former WWE creative team writer opened up about the plans for the feud, Vince McMahon having doubts regarding Teddy Hart at the time, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the original plan for a Harts vs. WWE feud: “Bret [Hart] was back in the orbit of WWE after coming to terms with Vince. At one point, it was going to be Bret versus Vince at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago, and then Bret was a little uneasy about doing it. They eventually did it, much differently, a few years later. But the original idea was going to be the Harts, and the Hart Foundation, versus the WWE — Vince, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Shane, Shawn’s students. At the time, the idea would be … Paul London, you had Brian Kendrick, and then they were gonna sign Bryan Danielson.”
On Vince McMahon having doubts regarding Teddy Hart: “Truth be told, Teddy outlasted me in WWE. I left the summer of 2007, and he stayed around for a little bit more. So I don’t know how that ended up going, but clearly he didn’t end up on air and the other guys did.”
