In some news that's sure to put a smile on the face of many a wrestling fan, the legendary Bret Hart will serve as FTR's manager next weekend.

As part of the Hitman's Hart Attack Tour shows for Big Time Wrestling, the Excellence of Execution will corner Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler against Jay Lethal and Homicide at Brooklyn's Sunset Park Rooftop on Saturday 22 October.

The following day, Bret will act as Harwood's manager as the FTR man takes onLethal in singles competition. That show - co-promoted by BTW and Great Lakes Championship Wrestling - takes place from Waukesha's County Expo Center and will also see Davey Boy Smith Jr., aka Harry Smith, battle EC3.

This won't actually be the first time that Hart has managed FTR, with the seven-time World Champion filling that role as Dax and Cash took on Brian Pillman Jr. and Brock Anderson for BTW this past June. While Pillman and Anderson had Arn Anderson in their corner on that night, FTR still managed to pick up the win at that Webster, Massachusetts event earlier in the year.
