MiCasa is reporting that Bret Hart has given the WWF his notice, and will
be in the WCW starting January 8th!

Bret's in his first year of a 20 year contract. He isn't going anywhere.

Correctemundo. But isn't he in the second year of that contract now?

He's either at the very end of his first year, or the very beginning of his
second year.

Well I've saved yours in the event Hart stays, so that we can laugh at you
instead.

Would you 2 'guys' mind if I save your posts? Then when Bret
starts in WCW I could repost it and we can all laugh at your

expense! If you would bother to read MiCasa you would see
that Hart had an out-clause which he chose to take. You don't
think that he would just sign a contract for 20 years knowing
how much WCW would pay for him and not find some way to be
able to get out of it if the price was right or the situation in the
WWF was wrong do you? Well, obviously you do but then
again obviously you are wrong. But in all fairness, let's wait until
next weeks Nitro to see what Bischoff has to say, because if this
is a work he will debunk it just to spite McMahon!

But MiCasa is also reporting that that contract had a one-year escape clause --
and that Bret is using it...

I dunno -- if it's true, basically this would push the WWF, IMHO, to forcibly
become ECW-ish in full-scale, or die... It's pushing down that road to begin
with, but losing Hart would be a major blow...

Ehhhh, unsubstantiated answer. Who said Bret has a one-year escape
clause? Interesting that didn't come out until today.

It was reported, I think in the Ryder site, that Bret has an "out" clause
at the end of the first year. He might be exercising it.

A contract that Bret's lawyers, not McMahon's drafted.

Think about it.

McMahon was in a bidding war with WCW for Hart's services. Perhaps Hart
insisted that if McMahon didn't give him an "out" clause he'd sign with WCW.
Having just lost a bunch of name wrestlers McMahon may have agreed to this
stipulation in order to keep Hart.

Rumors sometimes have more credability than words eminating from wrestling
organziations. Some other rumors making the rounds have Hall and Nash
thinking of going back to the WWF and have Bischoff and Hogan on the outs.

If the stories are true and Hart does start in January I'm not certain
Bischoff would make an announcement now. I'd guess his "big" announcement
next Monday is going to about something else.

Anti-trust laws? Hall, Nash, Hart, Micheals could work for another
orgranization other than the WWF or WCW, they could go to ECW or a
Japanese federation. I'm not a law expert, but isn't anti-trust
controlling the whole pie, the WCW and WWF are just two organizations.
Besides, imagine one of those four in an independent federation?
Lower pay would probably bring these guys back down to Earth.

The way this is moving, you might want to wait and hold your guffaws
until you actually SEE Hart on Nitro.
