Hart vs McMahon WM26 Rumors Disappoint

If the rumors are to be believed – and often in wrestling, these rumors have the knack for playing themselves out – then we’re in store for at least one more match from living legend Bret “Hitman” Hart. Color me and every Pink n’ Black Attack fan excited, but I can’t help but wonder if his rumored WrestleMania 26 opponent will lead to a letdown of sorts.

According to reports at Wrestlezone.com, the Montreal Screwjob will finally be laid to rest in a match featuring the 52-year-old Hart and 64-year-old CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon.

On the surface, the storyline couldn’t make more sense. WWE is pushing a rematch between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker this year, and why wouldn’t they? If they even come close to recreating their magic from last year’s big show, then it’ll all be worth it to fans and the subsequent PPV buyrate.

Since HBK has a full dance card, I guess it makes sense that the main perpetrator of the most controversial shoot in the history of wrestling would stand in for a real wrestler like Michaels. Vince McMahon, the man who called for the bell when Hart was in his own finishing hold in native Canada.

Vince McMahon, the man who defiantly claimed that “Bret screwed Bret.” Vince McMahon, the man that kept Over the Edge 1999 on the air after Bret’s brother Owen fell to his death before a mid-card match. It’s almost like they were waiting twelve and a half years for this matchup to transpire. I won’t dare go down that conspiracy theory trail.
