Ask AI: What if bret hart returned to the wwf in 1998

If Bret Hart returned to the WWF (now WWE) in 1998, it could have had a significant impact on the wrestling industry. His unique wrestling style and popularity among fans could have boosted the WWF's ratings during the late 90s "Attitude Era". It's also plausible that certain storylines could have been shifted or altered to accommodate Hart's return. However, it's important to remember that his return after the 1997 "Montreal Screwjob" incident would have been very difficult due to the real-life animosity between Hart and WWF owner Vince McMahon. Bret was a major player in WCW after leaving WWF, but WCW didn't utilize him effectively. If he had returned to WWF in 1998, assuming they could have worked out the business and personal differences, this could have potentially changed the course of his career in a positive way and made what many consider the golden age of wrestling even more interesting. But, this all remains hypothetical and is purely speculative.
