World's Been Waiting...

It's on.

Apparently.

Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania 26.

I'll be buying that PPV (first one I will have purchased since Wrestlemania 20) if those two actually have a match.

Yeah I know Hart is old, but that guy is an icon and hasn't wrestled in 10+ years. The reason why is he legitimately had a motorcycle crashed that caused him to have a stroke. The stroke left him in a wheelchair and the guy fought his way out of it. You have to respect a guy that has the ability to do that.

Read here for details.

So yeah, knock wrestling if you want. We all know it's scripted and probably some of the worst acting ever (it's still better than reality TV...). The Hitman is a wrestling icon and one of the few that could actually wrestle. The punches may be fake. The kicks may be pulled, but the collisions, drops and bumps are not. He had a stroke. Caused by an accident in which he hit his head.

And there he is, 8 years later getting back into the ring after being paralyzed and in a wheelchair.

Here's hoping he's still got it and blows the roof off the joint. :)

Even if he doesn't, big props to the guy for getting back into the ring to begin with. That alone is worth the price of admission.
