Bret returns for another Hit - 摔角 Wrestle

英國太陽報：http://bit.ly/5kie8b By ROB McNICHOL


BRET HART is set to make a sensational return to WWE in the new year.
According to the Wrestling Observer, The Hitman has agreed terms with
Vince McMahon's company on a short-term deal.

根據 Wrestling Observer 網站消息， Hitman 答應 WWE 進行一個短期合約。

It will begin at the start of 2010 and run until April 10, which is
just after WrestleMania.

合約將從2010年年初到2010年四月，差不多到 WM26 結束前後。

The seeds for the controversial comeback were sown on this week's Raw.
On Monday, Vince asked guest host Dennis Miller who he thought should
be a temporary GM in the future.

老闆向本週的 RAW 特別主持人 Dennis Miller 詢問關於未來 RAW 臨時 GM 的看法。

Miller — with the backing of the Texas crowd — demanded Hart. This
prompted Vince to look uneasy and walk away, but it was clearly a major
tease for the Canadian's return.

德州觀眾和 Dennis Miller 說他們想要 Hitman ，這讓老闆看起來不爽，
但這只是歡迎這位偉大的加拿大人回歸的小小嘲弄。

Rumours are now rife that Bret will make his WWE comeback on January 4,
which stands to be one of the biggest days in modern wrestling history.

有謠傳說 Hitman 將在 2010/1/4 回到 WWE ，這將是摔角歷史上偉大的一天。

TNA have announced that they will debut Hulk Hogan on a live three-hour
Impact special on this date, running directly up against Raw.

TNA 已經宣佈那天將是 Hogan 在 TNA 首演的日子，TNA 的 Impact 準備了三小時特別
節目要對上 RAW。

This is a brief rekindling of the famous Monday Night Wars of the late
1990s and, if TNA are successful, it may well spark a permanent switch
of their flagship show to Monday nights.

這讓人想起90年代那週一晚上摔角節目對抗的年代，如果 TNA 成功的話將是一場巨大
的勝利。

WWE have been expected to seek a major name to host their show on this
night, with The Rock and Steve Austin linked with the role. Now, though,
Bret is the forerunner, but a three month contract indicates a much more
involved role for a sustained period.

WWE 的迎戰策略包括找回 Rock 以及 SCSA ， Hitman 要來開第一槍。
但三個月的合約表示這段時間有更多事情會發生。

The fact that this contract's time frame includes WrestleMania is
obviously very important.

合約的時間範圍包括了 WM26 前後這段時間，這很重要。

It would be very hard to see Bret returning in a wrestling capacity,
since he isn't physically in great shape.

Hitman 現在的身體狀況並不適合回到擂台進行賽事。

However, he has made a marvellous recovery from a crippling stroke
suffered in 2002, and told SunSport's WrestleCast in April that he was
"the best I've felt in years".

但他已經從2002年的那場中風驚奇的恢復，並接受了太陽報的訪問。

On that WrestleCast, which you can download here, it is even joked that
Bret will be back at WrestleMania 26.

At the time it seemed a ridiculous and unlikely notion, but all of a
sudden may be a reality. A major question has to be who he will work
with, and in what capacity.

關於他會在 WM26 回來的消息一瞬間從笑話變成了真實。但人們想知道當他回來時，
會與誰一起工作，又以什麼身份回歸呢？

One theory is that Bret could come in as a more permanent authority
figure, in a duelling, antagonistic role opposite Vince McMahon.

有人猜他會以對抗老闆的角色回歸。

Also possible is a feud with Vince in a similar mould to McMahon's tussle
with Donald Trump two years ago, where Bret could select a wrestle to
fight against someone of Vince's choice.

就像老闆兩年前和 Donald Trump 所進行的恩怨，兩人各自選出選手代表他們戰鬥。

It is thought unlikely that Hart would want anything to do with real life
enemies Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

一般認為 Hitman 不太可能會想跟 HBK 或 HHH 這兩位他現實中的死對頭發生什麼劇情。

But then it was unlikely that he would return to WWE.

但以往大家更篤定的是，他絕不會回到公司。

Bret's nephew David Hart Smith, niece Natalya and her boyfriend, Tyson
Kidd, who was trained by the Harts, feature in WWE at the Hart Dynasty.
It is highly likely that some interaction with them will take place.

Hitman 的姪子 DH Smith 與姪女 Natalya 以及她的男友 Tyson Kidd 組成了
Hart Dynasty，他們三個都是 Hitman 一手訓練出來的。這個團隊和 Hitman 關係斐淺。

The legendary Hitman, 52, was one of the greatest wrestlers in history,
and a multi-time WWF champion.

現年52歲，史上最偉大的摔角手之一， WWF 多次冠軍，傳奇的 Hitman 。

He was forced to retire in 2000 at the age of 43 while competing for WCW
because of a major concussion and has rarely been seen in wrestling since
then.

2000年，因為當時 WCW 的競爭事件，43歲的他被迫退休，從此幾乎沒看到他摔角了。

Hart left WWE acrimoniously in 1997 after what became known as the
'Montreal Screwjob', when he lost his title to hated rival Michaels
after legitimately not being told the planned finish of the match.

眾所皆知 Hitman 的離開跟1997的蒙特婁（蒙特利爾）事件脫不了關係。
也跟 HBK 脫不了關係。

In the twelve years since Survivor Series '97 Bret has, on many occasions,
expressed his distain for what happened in Montreal and blasted McMahon,
Michaels and WWE in general.

1997 Survivor Series 結束後至今， Hitman 在許多場合都表達了他受到污辱的心情，
也多次指責老闆、HBK，還有整個公司。

However, there have been a few moments of conciliation.

不過，已經有了幾次調解。

In late 2005 a Bret Hart DVD was released by WWE with the full co-operation
of Hart, who filmed several hours of interview footage for it and met with
Vince for the first time in eight years.

2005年底 WWE 發行了 Hitman 的 DVD ， Hitman 全力合作並錄製了數小時的訪問。
他也在事情發生八年後，第一次和老闆碰面。

The following year Hart was inducted into the Hall of Fame, making a very
emotional acceptance speech, but did not appear on the next night's
WrestleMania when the inductees made their bow on stage.

隔年 Hitman 被引薦進入名人堂，發表了情緒激昂的演說。
但他隔天並沒有出現在頒獎典禮上。

In 2007, Vince McMahon Appreciation Night took place on Raw, and featured
several wrestling mocking the WWE supremo rather than praising him. Amazingly
Bret appeared, with no fanfare, via a taped interview, to take a few verbal
shots at his old boss.

在2007的老闆感謝之夜上，Hitman 透過預先錄製的影像嘲弄了他的前老闆。

There has been talk that WWE are to produce a Hart Foundation DVD featuring
the best from Bret's team with Jim Neidhart, and also the resurrection of
the Hart Foundation faction which included Bret's tragic brother Owen,
brother-in-law Davey Boy Smith and Brian Pillman.

據說 WWE 將製作關於 Hart Foundation 的 DVD ，內容包括 Hitman 最棒的團隊，Jim
Neidhart也在其中，還有 Hitman 悲慘的兄弟 Owen Hart，以及 Davey Boy Smith
與 Brian Pillman。

Bret has admitted in the past that he would be happy to induct Owen into
the Hall of Fame, so this may also have a bearing on his decision to return.

Hitman 過去曾表示他很樂意引薦 Owen Hart 進入名人堂，這可能也是他決定回到公司的
重要原因。

˙


Whatever the reason may be, we're absolutely delighted to see Bret back in
the fold.

無論原因為何，我們都非常希望他回來。

As a wrestling night, January 4 may just be the best there is, best there
was, and best there ever will be.

無論是現在、過去或未來，作為一個摔角的夜晚， 2010/1/4 都將是最棒的一天。
