Bret Hart’s Potential NWO Move: The What-Ifs Explored

Published on

Bruce Prichard Discusses the Possibility of Bret Joining the NWO and Its Impact

Summarize:
– Bruce Prichard addresses concerns about Bret Hart potentially joining the NWO.
– The wrestling landscape could have been drastically different if Bret made the move in 1996.
– The emergence of the Mr. McMahon character might only have occurred with the Bret Hart storyline.

On a recent episode of Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard, the topic of Bret Hart’s potential move to the NWO in 1996 was explored. With Bret’s contract expiring and the wrestling world in flux, there were genuine concerns about the “Hitman” donning the black and white of the NWO.

Prichard highlighted that Bret had yet to commit to WWF during this period fully. While he gave indications of staying, there wasn’t a definitive answer. This uncertainty, coupled with the departures of Hall and Nash, made the situation even more tense.

The hypothetical scenario of Bret joining the NWO brings forth a cascade of what-ifs. Would Hogan have returned to WWF? Would the infamous “Montreal Screwjob” have been avoided? And most intriguingly, would the Mr. McMahon character, a cornerstone of the Attitude Era, have ever emerged?

Prichard believes that Hogan’s heel turn and joining the NWO was a game-changer. It was a pivotal moment that shifted the balance in WCW’s favor for a time. If Bret had made the jump in 1996, the entire wrestling narrative might have been rewritten. Key moments, like the rise of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and the Mr. McMahon character, might have played out differently or not at all.

In the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, such hypothetical scenarios provide fascinating food for thought. While we’ll never know for sure how things would have panned out, it’s intriguing to ponder the ripple effects of such a monumental decision.
