Posted by Chris Lansdell on 12.24.2009
More Christmas Eve news!
Here is DirecTV's preview for the January 4th Raw:
Shocking Guest Host Bret The Hitman Hart returns to confront Mr. McMahon.
JJ Dillon did an interview with Arda Ocal and Corey Erdman of Right After Wrestling (Sirius channel 98) recently, in which he talked about the party habits of the Horsemen, the booking of WrestleMania 8 and more. The interview can be had here.
Too bad really, I wanted competition to make both products better.

Bret Hart returning is a big deal.
Really shows that Vince is already scared of the whole situation to pull out his last ace.
Posted By: Dude (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 02:42 PM
I will flip to TNA when Bret Hart is not on. Raw's in ring action has been flat out stale and predictable, and their story telling has been too short sighted and not entertaining for months.
Posted By: Tom (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 02:48 PM
Brett Hart has got to be the most boring person on the mic that there is, there was and there ever will be. Epic snooze

Bret Hart returning is Huge, but I really doubt that he is Vince's last Ace. This is an in your face I am bigger than TNA, and you can't compete to TNA from Vince. Vince is the master, I am possitive that this is just a way to keep TNA from being a contender, Vince doesn't like compition and will smash it before it becomes a thret, like WCW became. He will not make that mistake twice!!!

Dude, are you serious? He has plenty of aces left to deal... Rock, Stone Cold, and a few other surprises he could throw in there...
At any moment Vince has the money to obliterate TNA. He could buy and sell the entire roster with just his pocket money...
What TNA is doing is akin to what happened in WWII when the Polish Army tried to fight off the German invaders with spears and Horseback...
TNA doesn't stand a chance.
Posted By: William (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 02:58 PM
Bret is one of my heroes, glad to see him on TV. With his inability to wrestle anymore though it is sort of a Jesse Ventura situation; big talk but no action.

I still think Rock hosting would have gotten more attention for WWE, but Bret's return should easily trump Hogan's debut.
Posted By: Guest#7885 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 03:23 PM
God I hate the WWE Bret had stayed away for over 12 years why now?
Posted By: random (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Well, if this is accurate, then TNA's rating are FUCKED. EVERYONE in the WWE universe has been waiting for Bret "The Hitman" Hart to come back to the WWE. And you know that he will make it one of the BEST guest hosts spots EVER. In my honest opinion, they can STOP all the guest host stuff, offer Bret about $5 Million a year to be the PERMANENT host of RAW and you watch, the rating will take off THROUGH THE ROOF and the letters TNA will stand for a 3rd rate wrestling company with Hogan.
Posted By: Tom Schrader (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 03:26 PM
does not change the fact that I will be watching IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raw still sucks no matter who they bring in!
Posted By: 45 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 03:28 PM
I dont think vince is doing this because of TNA. The Hart dynasty is there and they were bound to challenge DX, so its only fitting they bring THE legendary Hart. Plus, its time to bury the hatchet. Bret is in the hall of fame, so he needs to be seen on tv.

"Bret Hart returning is a big deal.

I don't think he's anywhere near scared. He probably just felt like obliterating them, like when someone would use a sledgehammer to kill a caterpillar.

I don't know about scared, but he is concerned enough to make a move like this. People are going to claim that this was just a coincidence, but they are full of it. Hart is coming because of Hogan, pure and simple.
Now, Hogan is a better draw than Hart, but there's still potential for a better ratings pop at first from Hart. This is because of Montreal and the fact that he's never really confronted Vince about anything on WWE TV. People will want to know what he has to say.
I'm curious if Bret has one more fight left in him or not. He has said he won't get back in the ring again, but you know he thinks about it. Vince vs. Bret? So, yes, WWE is trying to make a counter move to TNA.
This is good news to the fans in a way. Better news would be TNA actually having a plan, other than, "Hey, look. We have Hogan now."
Hogan being on TNA will get people to look, but if that's all it is, they won't stay long. This could be the beginning of something exciting, or just business as usual.
Either way, it will be good to see The Hitman back on TV.

go to Tna instead. Say vince I will be there then lie and show up on Tna. I hate tna but that will get some butts and ratings to watch.
Posted By: Hartfan (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 04:24 PM
Bret Hart returns to the 'scene of the crime'...to the place Bret SWORE he'd never show his face again.
That makes Bret a hyprocrite and it's not going to do WWE any good if they pull out the same crappy storylines they've been running for the past month.
Yawn.
Posted By: Guest#7699 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 04:26 PM

I was really hoping they would stick with the original plan, and have Frank Sutton hosting. Oh well

His last ace? BS. If he was REALLY scared he'd bring out Stone Cold or The Rock.
Posted By: Guest#2079 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 04:48 PM
still watching TNA. even bret cant help the train wreck that is raw. Im sure the dx will still run around with the midget and get more airtime than bret anyway. plus the ratings grabber that is that sheamus guy.
and here i thought vince wasnt scared of TNA!!
Posted By: rick goodwin (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 04:48 PM
I'll watch TNA live and watch WWE on tape.
Face it, you can say "suck it TNA" all you want but if it weren't for TNA, we wouldn't be seeing Bret. You should thank and support them for giving WWE a reason to work a little harder. If WWE knocks TNA off the radar, get ready for another decade of just sliding by with crap television, not making any risky moves, and not listening to the fans. If TNA makes an impact, no pun intended, it should be a great decade to be a wrestling fan cause both companies will bust their asses.

Posted By: garry (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 05:12 PM
I havnt watched Raw in months but i will be watching on the 4th without a doubt, seeing Bret in the ring again will be surreal.
Posted By: jbardo (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 05:23 PM
Only problem with this is that the vast majority of WWE's target audience (Kids) will have little to know idea who Bret Hart is. Bret last wrestled in WWE over 12 years ago, simple maths will tell you that most people under the age of 18 will never have seen Bret when he was an active competitor. Only the IWC and older casual fans are the ones who are marking out over Bret's return
Posted By: Dave (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 05:33 PM
Bret Hart isnt as big as a draw to more casual fans compared to a Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, or Ric Flair.
However his return will bring back older fans, smarts, etc who have been turned off by the current state of the WW"E".
Though I am not a fan of Bret Hart, thank you for helping me be excited about wrestling for the first time since the early part of the decade.
And to the person who made the sledgehammer analogy, you are damn right. This is a Hiroshima-esque bomb that Vince and Co. are dropping on the Huckster and the rest of the TNA crew.

Posted By: Dr Death (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 05:53 PM
For all those saying that Vince could bring back Stone Cold or the Rock, He's brought Stone Cold back in and he does the exact same thing every time. (but it would be interesting to see him come in with the new wellness policy on alcohol.) Besides who says that either of them would want to do it?
That being said, if this forces both companies to up the ante every week to compete from a wrestling standpoint, then so be it.
Posted By: Karatgold24 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 06:00 PM

TNA better watch it or the host for a future RAW may be "former TNA owner Dixie Carter."
RAW will pull over a 5 for this, I guaran-damn-tee.
TNA will be lucky to break 1.0
Posted By: Ramsey (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 06:20 PM
I will predict Raw will do a 4 in the ratings and TNA will be lucky to do a 1.5
Posted By: Guest#1425 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 06:25 PM
Bret Hart coming back to the WWE(outside the Hall Of Fame) is something I never expected to see! I have followed Bret since his debut and have been a fan from the first time I saw him wrestle.
I am beyond happy about this! And yes, I am going to mark out like a little girl if/when I see Bret Hart on RAW 1/4/10! The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be! It's about time!
Posted By: AndreFan (Registered) on December 24, 2009 at 07:01 PM
People say he won't be a draw, but just the mere mention of his name gets full-arena pops. Not just the smarks and old-school fans. The ENTIRE place.
This isn't WWE being scared shitless by TNA. This is them saying "Anything you can do, we can do better". I guess we'll see come January 4th, though. If TNA gets anything 2.0+, I think it'll be a win for them, at least in the short run. It won't be the 3.0 they're ALREADY touting, but it'll be a very big improvement.
Then again, you know what you're getting with Hogan. Hart is such a variable, because he is at a stage (and has been) where he can and will do whatever he wants. If he wants to shoot on Vince, HBK, God, anyone at all, he will. That is way more attractive than Hogan putting over Styles and Joe and Daniels. We already know they're good. We don't need Hogan to tell us that.
I just think it'd be funny if TNA got a 1.1 and WWE got a 3.7. I do hope that doesn't happen though...

Can you imagine the pop Bret is going to get when his music hits? It's the Hitman damnit! We all know that if rock was guest hosting NO ONE I MEAN Would TNA that night. TNA is a fair company but with Hogan and all the shit that he's been through(no I'm not taking up for him) Hogan is old news and frankly no one really gives a damn anymore bout him as far as wrestling goes. 12yrs has been A LONNNNNNGGGGGGG Time and Damnit I can't till Jan 4!
Posted By: Mr.973 (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 07:30 PM
Quite a line-up for January --
Bret Hart on the 4th
Mike Tyson on the 11th
And I've been predicting Rock to host on the 18th or 25th to promote his new Tooth Fairy movie being released on the 22nd.
TNA will have it rough though I guess they'd do worse without Hogan. They also have that 3rd hour, and if WWE does too many goofy, cheezy skits with Bret, they might grab a few of the channel switchers too. I'm not really a fan of either company right now, but I like competition and another Monday Night war would get me watching again, so hang in there TNA!

Bret Hart!!???! Seriously folks,
LOOK at what happens when the WWE gets a little competition...After being pretty stagnant for a long time, "suddenly" they do something interesting.
While I'm not saying that the WWE has done NOTHING that's caught our attention or been interesting in the last several years, I am saying that they haven't done MUCH of either.
Now, with even a small possibility of some "real" competition, look at what they do...
As fans of rasslin...we obviously NEED a legitimate rival company to the WWE.
Seriously, all that TNA has done thus far is merely threaten to compete with the WWE.
Consider the reaction by the WWE to this threat, and then think about what they'd possibly do if faced with real competition as opposed to "possible" competition.
As far as I'm concerned, TNA is giving the WWE a swift kick in the ass, and I hope they get the message.
Posted By: Brian (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 08:58 PM
I have my own personal troll on here...c*nt.
Anyway this just shows that WWE hold all the trump cards when it comes to any 'wars'. This will teach TNA a valuable lesson... CONCENTRATE on yr own product and don't attack your enemy intentionally... then MAYBE you won't get burned.
Posted By: THE REAL Andrew Barbarash (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 09:07 PM
I'd just like to point out, in my drunken Xmas mood I'd like to add, were I to actuallly live in the US of A, there's only one show I'd be watching on the 4th.
Impact.
From a wrestling fan's point of view, shit, it ain't that hard a choice - a wasted has-been I've watched on his shitty reality show for the past 4
or so years, or, and I'll inevitably say this until the day I die a wrestling-loving loser, THE FUCKING BEST THERE IS, WAS, AND EVER WILL BE! Bret 'The Hitman' Hart - I'd choose Hulk. Hulk Hogan.
Aside from the presidential inauguration earlier this year, the 60's civil rights marches or the anti-war demonstrations before the Iraq invasion, this is the one time I wish I was living in America. Do you people realise how much say you have in the future of wrestling?
Record RAW, watch Impact.
Fuck what your pathetically moronic mind thinks of the smaller company, ANY kind of competition to the WWE hedgemony would immediately force McMahon into splurging out the best effort he could into his product.
I sit apathetically through each and every episode of RAW, 2am in the morning over here in LimeyLand, and just accept what is being shit into my mouth by the WWE. I'll actually defend most of it in the face of the endless amount of criticism on the related 411 pages! But it is imperative you, Americans, tune into TNA rather than WWE on the 4th.
My say won't matter. We don't get the choice of a live Impact on the 4th.
But if you tune into Impact that night, a TNA fan or detractor, there's a distinct possibility you could force RAW into changing for the better.
As much as I'll defend the endless DX skits - and really, HHH is *the best* wrestler on the mic today - we need the WWE to realise that MVP vs. Swagger, Swagger vs. Bourne, Miz vs. Swagger, Henry vs. Miz etc. WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PAY-OFF WHATSOEVER is not what we tune into the show weekly for.
I fortunately have a penis, so I don't have a problem with Sheamus being champ, but I expect the best possible build for any forthcoming feud. Without competition, you'll end up with f-all build and a shit 'conference' segment the week before Rumble to sell the main-event.
Watch Impact instead and you'll change the WWE's approach. You'll send a message that we no longer tolerate the shite they're squeezing into our mouths.
Even if you hate TNA, you cannot say with a straight face that WWE are providing the best quality product they could at the moment. With competition will come that extra effort.
January 4th. Americans. Watch TNA. Record the Hitman.
Regardless, Happy Holidays to you all!
Posted By: Chungles (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 09:12 PM
Record Raw, if you love wrestling....watch tna, and all the geeks who love the ratings will shut up if we can give them a 2.0! Cross the line guys, for the sake of the business.

For all of the "RIP TNA" talk going around by the prisoner-of-the-moment WWE fans, just remember this: Bret can't wrestle anymore, and even if he does show up do you really think that all of a sudden DX is going to revert back to their old ways?
Face it, the Attitude Era is over and will never come back. You all keep saying that Vince is going to suddenly crush the competition. How? The plot lines are at an all time low, and WWE has no concept on how to truly build stars the way they used to.
Sorry, the Hart Dynasty won't all of a sudden beat DX for the tag titles, nor will we see the mid-carders like Swagger or MVP become built like superstars either.
Thanks to trolls like you WWE fans who worship everything Vince does, we will always be stuck with Cena being booked as invincible, DX shilling merchandise, and Hornswoggle skits.
Bret Hart won't change that in one night, no matter how much the IWC wishes otherwise.
Posted By: JR (Guest) on December 24, 2009 at 10:18 PM
WWE is basically treating their fans like an abusive spouse. They've ignored us for 10 years, giving us crap each and every week. Then all of a sudden, somebody else decides to take an interest in us and show us that things don't have to be that way, and then what do you know... All of a sudden the WWE decides to start listening to us and treating us right. Don't fall for it. The second we go back to them, they'll start giving us crap again.
Go TNA!! TNA!!

It's really too bad that the Nielson's don't track everyone's TV so unless you're a tracked Nielson family, recording Raw and watching TNA won't make a difference in ratings. Spreading the word might if you can get the word to a Nielson family.
Too bad most people are uptight about privacy; otherwise, I wouldn't mind TV companies finding a way to send data of the shows we're watching anonymously to Nielson (kinda like how websites can count how many hits they get) so at least I *can* make a difference when I decide to watch or boycott a show.

Posted By: Guest#9640 (Guest) on December 25, 2009 at 05:55 AM
Kind of makes you wonder how much money did Vince offer Bret to show up and outdo (and probably bury on live TV) Hogan... On second thought maybe the idea of burying Hulk was enough for Bret? Or maybe Vince has also agreed to him come out and beat up/humiliate Shawn, maybe make him tap or bring out a DX-midget to mock him?
On second thought, no need for the last one. Shawn and Hunter had taken care of that already...

Sorry, dudes, and dudettes, I am Vince's LAST ACE IN THE HOLE and I will ultimately be the one he calls on if he EVER happens to be in real trouble.

Am I the only person on the net that knows how to TVo two programs at the same time?
I'll watch RAW live because Bret v McMahon is way > than Jarrett v Angle and I've already seen Hogans big return once, and that was when he still had a little bit left in the tank. Now it's just sad. He has become Randy the Ram...along with all of the cast that ends up following him...aka Ric Flair. Truly no sadder thing to watch.

book it.

Im going to watch TNA, as I feel Hart sold out (not to mention Vince, who could've tried to mend feces for the past DECADE, but it took some other company to hype semi-competitive show to get his ass in gear.)

Bret + TNA = No big deal...
Bret + WWE x 1st time since screwjob = Huge Ratings!!!
Posted By: Stoney (Guest) on December 25, 2009 at 02:07 PM
No no, Bret Hart isn't going to be hosting Raw that night... I AM!!!
Posted By: Chris Benoit (Guest) on December 25, 2009 at 02:39 PM
This will be the most Anticipated RAWs since they started this CRAPPY guest hosts thing!
Posted By: Leon (Guest) on December 25, 2009 at 04:03 PM
Bret's gonna piledrive Hornswoggle, kick Vince in the crotch, and screw DX out of their tag titles. Two forks up!

I thought it was going to be The Rock but this good too. The problem with TNA is that it doesn't feel like TNA. It's like watching WWE five years ago. Thats why I am not that impressed with TNA.

brets gonna no show n screw vince, oh the irony !

Actually J.J. Dillon is one of the best managers of all time. He's a man of wisdom and a businessman.
His run with the Horseman was a great one and entertaining.

Whatever I don't need to see Hogan. I can watch the replay so i an have a good laugh.

Id still rather watch tna

Am I the only person who's not in the slighest bit bothered about Bret Hart returning? He can't wrestle now so it's kinda ironic that TNA is being bashed for a limited Hogan, yet WWE praised for a non-wrestler in Bret Hart?
Bret was cool when I was a kid but I'd personally only get a 'Oh look it's Tatanka on TNA!?...' level of minor excitement before losing interest.
Posted By: D (Guest) on December 26, 2009 at 08:17 PM
Ummmmm.... sorry, TNA, you just got pwned. RAW > Impact on any day and Hitman > Hogan, so you know, you lose on the 4th. Big time.
Posted By: Guest#9640 (Guest) on December 25, 2009 at 05:55 AM
To be honest Bret > Hogan is pretty much an IWC thing.. to casual fans like most of my mates, girlfriend and brothers etc, 'Bret is back on Raw 4th Jan' was responded to by "Bret?... The guy in Pink?", followed by the same disinterest over Dreamer leaving WWE... compared to their knowledge and interest in Hogan/TNA.
It's kinda like when Chris Hero wrestles for a title in your local gym... the IWC is excited by his match with 'nobody #2', while the rest of the world doesn't care.
Posted By: D (Guest) on December 26, 2009 at 08:25 PM
I thought I was hosting?
Posted By: Bert Hart (Guest) on December 26, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Don't see what the big deal is over Hart. It's not like the Impact rating WASN'T going to drop to 1.1 after the first hour anyway. Most people prefer keeping the midgets and old geezers in comedy skits instead of making them main eventers.
