— Bret Hart wrote a blog on Facebook yesterday before heading off to Europe for SmackDown’s ongoing tour. “I’m scrambling now to make my way to the Calgary airport. I’m looking very much to this WWE tour of Europe and the markets that probably loved me the most,” Hart wrote. “So many memories; Berlin, I really had some terrific matches there. I hope that my German fans will come out for what could be my last time ever. I recall Vince McMahon telling me once “that Germany has never come back since you left in ’97”. From there Glasgow, another city filled with great memories, in and out of the ring. Although I saw a great crowd turnout for my book signings last summer, I hope Glasgow and all the Hitman loyalists come out for the pink and black.”

— As a reminder on Sunday Night, the WWE Extreme Home Makeover edition will air on ABC. The show will feature The Big Show, R-Truth and The Bella Twins.
