Theres no doubt that Bret Hart is an icon, one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and that the industry was a lesser place without him for nearly a decade. In 2009, WWE made the announcement that many thought they would never hear and for the first time in over twelve years he would make an appearance on a WWE broadcast. Bret Hart returned to WWE and had a tearful reconciliation with his long-time rival Shawn Michaels, before entering in a feud with Vince McMahon. Bret faced Vince at WrestleMania XXVI and managed to gain closure on the Montreal Screwjob with the help of his family. After a bizarre and unnecessary WWE United States Championship win, which he later vacated, he was named Raw General Manager and got into a brief altercation with The Nexus in their quest to gain WWE contracts. He was General Manager for less than a month before he was fired from the role by Vince McMahon for not appearing as scheduled at the Fatal Four Way pay-per-view or the following nights Raw. Reportedly, Hart had to step back from the company due an issue with Lloyds of London, who provided the settlement for his career ending injury in the early-2000s. Whatever problem had occurred must have been resolved as he was eventually named part of Team WWE and competed at SummerSlam 2010.
