When WWE announced that Bret Hart would be making his return to television on Monday Night Raw this week in Calgary, it wasn't clear what exactly he would be doing. Coming home, of course, but what would he have to say? What was there to say?

As it turns out, it's what was said to him that mattered.

GUNTHER, the current world heavyweight champion who may be more like The Hitman than anyone else since the Canadian great retired, invited himself to the party to do some incredible trolling.

Consider:

He just used Bill Goldberg as an insult straight to Bret Hart's face live on Raw. It's 2024, folks. That this thing has stretched this far, and is still getting a reaction like that makes my tiny pro wrestling fan heart as happy as it can be.
