Anyone privy to the numbers, which Bret would have been, would have known WCW wasn't in the same galaxy as WWE in terms of popularity. WCW was barely on TV at that point in Canada. And if it was, it was on tape delay the next day or the day after. WCW wanted Bret for Thunder, no other reason. So either Bret is dilusional for thinking he was being brought in because of Canada or he just didn't want to put over a guy he hated and was jealous of.
WCW was beating WWF in the numbers at that point in time. Unless you mean solely in Canada -- in which case, WWF had Bret Hart, who WCW were about to get.
