The heart of the matter
Big names from the past like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Mark Henry were scheduled for the show, but there were a few who didn't accept the invite.
AEW's Jim Ross rejected the offer politely and has now revealed why he did so. Former WWE Champion Bret Hart rejected the invite too, and it has now been revealed why he chose not to attend the show.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bret Hart is currently enjoying the summer season in Calgary. He reportedly didn't want to miss even a day of the summer and hence declined the invitation. Bret Hart's absence from the Reunion show had nothing to do with him attending AEW's first show, Double or Nothing.
What's next?
The Hitman has said that he won't be taking any bookings this summer and won't make any appearances until sometime around next month.
