[ The TNA
returns, and we are documenting the hard struggle for Bret Hart to get
back into the ring, get back into action and fighting fit once again.
The cameras open up with some archive footage from several years ago,
copyright to the WCW.
][ We see a
match between Bret Hart and Goldberg in WCW, Bret was at the time the
WCW World Heavyweight Champion. As seen in the footage the ECE has
Goldberg inflicted an injury on Bret Hart.. a head injury. We see it
over and over again on the reply, Goldberg clearly doesn't know what he
is doing inside a ring and injured Bret Hart.
]
" The big news coming out of wrestling today
is that Bret Hart has officially retired from professional wrestling.
This is the effect of a head injury Bret Hart took at the hands of Bill
Goldberg. "
[ The scene then
cuts to a shoot interview with Bret, and we hear just snippets from the
interview. ]
Bret Hart: "
Wrestle again? No way, there is no way I will be
able to get back into that ring.. it's just not going to happen my
friend. The WWE is a no no for sure, I don't even want to be associated
with that place, I will never even make an appearance for the WWE.
"
Bret Hart: "
I doubt you'll ever see the Hitman back in the ring, the injury is too
severe, one bump to my head and I will be messed up again. I don't blame
Bill Goldberg, however I think if it wasn't for him I would still be
wrestling, but that isn't to say I put the blame entirely on him. It's
one of those things that just happens, I have to get on with it.
"
[ Bret Hart was
involved in a bike accident, and this has probably ended his career for
good now. There was hope he could come back from the injury he got
against Goldberg in WCW, but this accident has all but confirmed that
Bret will never return to the ring. We then cut to some footage found of
Bret Hart in a wheelchair just a year after the incident with Bill
Goldberg in WCW, it doesn't look good for all those Hart fans out there
expecting to see their hero back in action.
]
[ So, that's
enough of the archive footage, and we now open up with some EXCLUSIVE
footage that the TNA has got whilst following Bret Hart's return to
action and return to a promotion. The footage you about to see is just
before Bret Hart gets a contract with the TNA, and he is in his gym
working hard.
]
[ We see Bret Hart
doing some weights in his gym, the camera follows him as he speaks into
the cameras. ]
Bret Hart: "
Everybody says I can't get back into the ring, and
they could be right, but if I don't at leas try then I'll never know. I
have been working hard for two or three years now, in the gym every day
building myself back up again to get back into action, and hopefully I
can get a contract soon. "
Camera Man: "
Would you say you are ready then?
"
Bret Hart: "
Yup - I am just waiting for the call so I can get
back into action and get my World Title shot. "
[ The scene cuts
from that short piece of footage of Bret working out to Bret Hart with
Shane McMahon signing a contract with the up and coming promotion, TNA.
]
Shane McMahon: "
This is great news for TNA, and all the
fans who watch TNA. Bret Hart is without a shadow of a doubt one of, if
not the biggest stars in this business. To have him on our roster is
great, not only for the TNA but for everybody at home watching.
"
Bret Hart: "
I am pleased to have signed with the TNA, and all
my fans who have been through the bad times with me, now can get some
satisfaction seeing Bret Hart back in the ring. I said it would never
happen.. but here we are today, celebrating the return of Bret Hart.
"
[ We cut once
again, to Bret Hart who is sitting in his locker room before his return
match. ]
Camera Man: "
Are you nervous? "
Bret Hart: "
Course not.. I have done this so many times
before.. it's time for me to step up to the plate and get back in that
ring. All of this, is for my World Title shot, all of this hard work is
to get me to my World Title shot. This match tonight, which is a fairly
pointless match.. is getting me towards the World Title I desperately
want, and need. "
[ Bret is
backstage, after successfully winning his return match, and the cameras
are still following him through this documentary.
]
Bret Hart: "
Yeah.. a pretty successful night, everything went
well. The important thing was to come out of the match feeling good,
without any injuries. And I feel good, and no old injuries are coming
back, so everything is on the right track. And of course, the win was
nice.. but it was all about getting back and making sure I didn't get
hurt so quickly after returning. "
[ We cut once
again, to some more footage of Bret Hart on the phone being told some
news. He is told the news, puts the phone down and the cameras that are
still following him pick up on the news. ]
Camera Man: "
What was that all about?
"
Bret Hart: "
That was Eric Bischoff.. He told me I Haveto face Carlito in my televised return match...Not my choice of matches..
but you have got to work your way up I suppose. Although, Bret Hart
shouldn't be down at the bottom of the card.. he should be up there.. at
the top, winning World Titles.. but one step at a time.
"
[ The phone rings
again. ]
Bret Hart: "
Hello. "
Shane McMahon: "
It's Shane again, I forgot to tell you
something. "
Bret Hart: "
Oh yeah, what's that?
"
Shane McMahon: "
Ric Flair will be at the Impact Zone for Impact.
"
Bret Hart: "
Oh, great. "
Eric Bischoff: "
That was all.
"
[ Bret puts the
phone down, with a huge grin on his face.. very pleased with himself.
]
Camera Man: "
Good news?
"
Bret Hart: "
Oh yeah, well Ric Flair will be at the Impact Zone so I will get to address the Nature Boy personally.. and soon I will be fighting for the World
Heavyweight Title. WHERE.. I.. BELONG.. McMahon knew.. he knows that I am
too good for the lowcard division like most of his American athletes. I am going to take up this opportunity and
get my World title back. "
[ We then cut one
more time, we we are with Bret Hart in a gym near to the arena which is
holding Impact. Bret Hart is in the gym.. and
our camera men are there with him, following his steps to get his World
Championship. ]
Bret Hart: "
This is it.. all the hard work comes down to one night starting on Impact.. I have been working hard since 2001 to get back, and I finally
came back. But, all of that was just me getting
back into the swing of things.. and at Impact it's all
about Carlito.. it's all about getting a shot
at the title. A title, I think I deserve.. a title I have been working
for, for YEARS.. YEARS and YEARS.. years on end I have been trying to
get into this position. All I have got to do is get past Carlito. And you know it's took me four
years to get back to where I belong.. to get in a position where I
can get a shot at the World title. "
[ Bret pauses from
speaking and does a few more weights, but carries on speaking while
doing them. ]
Bret Hart: "
Everybody knows that Bret Hart is LETHAL when it
comes to these kind of positions. Once I have something in my
sights.. I am the man.. I am the executioner when it comes to these kind
of situations. I am the man who can pull it out of the bag in the big
matches.. I perform better under pressure.. on the big occasions. And
that's bad news for those TNA rejects.. and the pressure is
ON.. it is well and truly on the Hitman Bret Hart. Because.. everybody
is waiting for me to slip up.. everybody is waiting to say " I told you
so " about me.. so the pressure is on me to perform. But that's how I
want it.. "
[ Bret Hart gets
up from the bench where he was pressing weights, and begins to talk
passionately into the cameras. ]
Bret Hart: "
Carlito...NOONE will stop me from achieving my goal.. and you know
what, I deserve it more than ANYBODY. These TNA cameras have only
followed me for a few months.. but I have been working this hard for
three or four years to get here today. And come Sunday night..
everything is just going to go right, I know it. My father and brother
are going ot be there in spirit.. cheering me on.. getting me through
it. Even if I am triple teamed.. I am still going to come out the winner..
because I can last the distance. I have been preparing for years for
this ONE NIGHT.. this ONE CHANCE.. ONE SHOT.. and it's MINE. I won't let
Carlito have it.. I want it so bad.. and you guys have seen how hard I
have worked for it. Those who work hardest.. get the most.. the more
effort you put in, the more you get out of it, and all that bullshit.
But.. all that said, people will see the effort I have put in, and you
know, when you work hard you know you'll reap the rewards. And my reward
is going to be announced as the winner and being announced as the man
who is going to be getting a World title shot .. that is MY
reward. "
[ He points into
the camera.. and speaks. ]
Bret Hart: "
To all the doubters.. you better believe it..
cause..
I'M THE
BEST
THERE IS
THE BEST
THERE WAS
AND
THE BEST
THERE EVER WILL BE!
"
Bret Hart: "
Thanks a lot guys,
hopefully we can meet up again after I have TAKEN OVER Total Nonstop Action.
"
[ T
he camera
men laugh, as Bret shakes hand with the main camera man. The TNA then
fades out. ]
