'Hitman' will join Hall of Fame

On April 1 in Chicago, WWE will induct the 2006 Hall of Fame class, and leading the way will be Bret "The Hitman'' Hart. Despite differences between Hart and WWE and the lingering effects of the infamous "Montreal Screwjob'' that resulted in the Hitman moving to WCW in 1997, the two sides have come together just enough to put together a DVD and to agree on the Hall appearance. Hart, who would be on most people's lists of the best of all time, previously had turned down offers to appear at WrestleManias 18 and 20 and had stated the only way he would come back to WWE would be if Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels publicly apologized for what happened in Montreal, which they have not.
AROUND THE RING: Stacy Keibler will be moved to "Raw'' once she is ready to return from "Dancing with the Stars'' on ABC. ... Expect Dusty Rhodes to be added to the Hall of Fame inductees next week. ... Mike Awesome is retiring from wrestling to spend time with his family but remains open to working another ECW reunion match.
