Five weeks ago, 1PW Newsline dropped a bombshell when we announced that a legendary superstar would be appearing at 1PW's NO TURNING BACK events this upcoming January. This statement led to extensive rumors and speculation amongst fans and insiders alike. After an extensive negotiation process, 1PW Officials can finally, at long last, address the rumors and publicly confirm the identity of January's special guest. With that in mind, 1PW officials are today very proud to announce that former WWE and WCW World Heavyweight champion BRET "THE HITMAN" HART has been signed to make appearances at the Dome in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England on January 6th and 7th as part of 1PW's NO TURNING BACK weekend. Bret will appear exclusively for 1PW in the UK during this tour, so don't miss the opportunity to meet "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be" in Doncaster at NO TURNING BACK.

Bret Hart is inarguably one of the most beloved figures in the history of professional wrestling. Known the world over as a one-of-a-kind technician and sportsman, his fan following has grown to astronomic heights over the past 25 years, and with good reason. Although Hart has certainly had his share of personal and professional misfortunes, he is and always will be best remembered for his undaunted work ethic and his quest to maintain self-respect and integrity regardless of the circumstances.

1PW's European Director of Operations, Rick Peters, has been in negotiations with Bret's camp over the past few weeks trying to secure the appearance of the legendary Canadian wrestler. "I'm just proud that my efforts could lead to something so wonderful for 1PW and its fans. The opportunity for everyone to meet Bret and to have him stand in our ring makes all the work getting the deal finished worthwhile."

For his part, Bret has been studying the goings-on in 1PW intently, including the troubles the fledgling promotion has had with NWA World Heavyweight champion, JEFF JARRETT. All of us here in 1PW welcome former 7-time World Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart into the 1PW family with open arms. Stay posted to 1PW Newsline and www.1p-w.com in the coming weeks for more details on Bret Hart's very special appearance at the "No Turning Back" weekend.

1PW COLLECTORS SERIES – A CRUEL TWIST OF FATE FAN CONFERENCE
Release Date 1/12/05

This is the very first release in the new 1PW Collectors Series, and it is the Cruel Twist of Fate Fan Conference.
This DVD contains the entire 2 and a half hour event. Two Q & A panels hosted by 1PW's Kingdom James, inside the Doncaster Dome VIP Fan Conference Suite on the afternoon of A Cruel Twist Of Fate.

The sold out event featured the first Q & A panel of Tommy Dreamer, Blue Meanie, Al Snow, Trayc Smothers, and Jerry Lynn. The second Q & A panel, that featured Chris Sabin, Low Ki, Jonny Storm, Doug Williams and Steve Corino, was gate crashed by a drunken Sandman, who hadnt slept for two days, and proceeded to turn the event into a hilarious one man show. This really is very funny and sensational footage.
