Lance Storm Commentary - "I’m very excited to see the show Monday"
One last thing I want to cover before wrapping this up is the return of Bret Hart to Monday Night RAW. I’m very excited to see the show Monday, because Bret was a big part of why I got into wrestling so I’m really looking forward to his return. I have no expectations going in, I just hope the fans show him the respect he so greatly deserves, and I believe they will. Before WWE announced his return I was planning to flip back and forth and watch both RAW and Impact but now I will watch RAW in its entirety. I will have to either DVR Impact or just watch it at its regular time on Thursday.
For my official rating prediction for January 4th:
RAW (3.6 – 3.8)
Impact (0.6 – 0.8)

WWE has Bret Hart. One of the promotion’s legendary figures returns. Hart has been absent for over 12 years. He left under the worst possible terms. What will it be like when Vince McMahon and Hart face off for the first time since the Montreal Screwjob? THIS IS PERSONAL, KING!
OK, I’m sold. As for TNA…
Hogan will be there. That’s the extent of TNA’s promotion for the re-ignition of the Monday night wars.
I’m watching WWE...More?

Hulk Hogan Wants Health Benefits for TNA Wrestlers
Hulk Hogan says that if he can "turn TNA into the monster" that Vince McMahon created with WWE, he wants to offer TNA wrestlers health benefits beyond what WWE is offering.
"There's a ton of stuff that needs to be done – from health care to profit sharing to insurance – just mechanical stuff that should be in place when people put their lives on the line and give up their time and dedicate themselves to the business,"...More?
