Several readers in the St. Louis area sent word that localized promos running in the market for the 7/23 1000th episode of Raw listed WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart as appearing.

Hart was WWF champion when Monday Night Raw debuted in January 1993. His 3/1/93 WWF title defense against Fatu (the future Rikishi) was the first WWF championship defense in the history of the series.

As we've noted in the past, WWE had a list of 15-20 names from the past they hoped to get on Raw in the weeks leading to and including the 1000th episode.
