"- As everybody has reported, WCW apparently reached a deal with Bret
Hart for Bret to appear on the Clash of Champions live broadcast
on January 21st with his WWF Intercontinental belt. This was of
course meant to be a retaliatory blow against the WWF for using
the NWA belt when Flair jumped. Bret thought that his contract
was up, but, in fact, he can't give notice for another few months
and had to back out of the deal when he realized this. Bret knew
that he would be dropping the belt to the Mountie in Springfield
so that the title could be passed to Roddy Piper. Bret has been
promised the IC Title back at WrestleMania, but that seems kind
of unlikely, unless he turns heel. In the mean time, WCW insists
that Bret is going to come in later this year, and if he does in
fact give notice to the WWF, I'm sure we'll know since his push
will match that of the Berzerker."
I read this on one of my resource sites, RSPW (http://rspw.org/tidbits/tidbits.920130). It's a very credible site for old dirtsheets throughout the 1990s. But I'm just curious did anyone ever hear about this? Apparently there was also talk about Ted Dibiase leaving for WCW in 92' as well.
