From the dirt sheets
TEW insiders say that WCW has come to a tentative deal with former world champion Bret Hart. It is rumored that Hart will have a prominent backstage presence and could be a candidate to be an on-screen presence if Eric Bischoff decides to go that route. Sources also say that whatever bad blood that exists between the two has disappeared, with both Hart and Bischoff united in the common goal of returning WCW to prominence. Hart retired from in-ring competition just over a year ago due to lingering effects from a concussion caused by a Goldberg kick gone awry at Starrcade 1999.
As an aside, Goldberg will not be back in action until July because of his recovery and rehabilitation from shoulder surgery.
