As reported on last week, Bret Hart took part in a much talked about Q & A session at the NWA Legends convention on Sunday, August 21st. Among some negative comments he made about Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Hulk Hogan, Hart also commented on why he was not interested in coming on WWE TV anytime soon despite agreeing on a DVD deal with the company. According to reports from the session, Hart mentioned he would be interested in working for TNA. We do know that TNA has shown interest in bringing in Hart for the company's debut on Spike TV next month on October 1st as a big surprise. Whether that will happen on the debut show or in the future remains to be seen.

The Blue Meanie recently wrote on his website that he still hasn't received any calls from WWE about returning, so he has already assumed the "Blue World Order" gimmick that was given a try on the SmackDown brand in July is over. There had been some false reports stating that Meanie had signed a long-term contract with WWE as well. Meanie did add that the payoff he got from WWE helped him get out of debt and he had no regrets about going back.

Former WCW World Champion & WWE star Scott Steiner took part in his first wrestling match since leaving WWE on August 28th in Asheville, North Carolina. One of the main reasons for the WWE allowing Steiner's contract to run up without a renewal was due to his body physically breaking down numerous times and that he wasn't reliable to be given a push in the long-term.
