- Bret Hart did an interview with ESPN promoting the Legends of
Wrestlemania video game. He said the only way he would make another WWE
appearance was if they asked him to induct Stu or Owen into the Hall of
Fame. He also talked about wrestling needing a union. Almost everyone
talks about this after their career but as we know it's never going to
happen. On the subject of steroids, he was very negative saying he took
them to improve his look but when he came off them he only lost 5 pounds
and felt better because he was less bloated. He said WCW's drug policy
was a joke and they were selective over who they tested claiming Hogan
and co. was immune but they always seemed to pick on the Mexican and
smaller wrestlers.
- JBL was talking about retirement due to ongoing back problems last
weekend at the Arnold Classic. He said his in-ring career will likely be
over after Wrestlemania. Should he retire it's possible he would return
to announcing. They have slots opening with the addition of the new WGN
Superstars show that debuts in April.
