hb2k has a way of saying what I'm thinking in a far better way than I could ever express it. I would just end up calling people doody heads in the 2nd paragraph and start ranting about HHH or something.

The value of Bret in Canada is really really dumb. Shows a lack of understanding of the market. Typical junk you read from the pro Bret crowd.

This market didn't live and die with Bret. Bret left and Canada was still a strong market for WWE without Bret. He was forgotten in a hurry. On the flip side WCW ran what, three or four shows in Canada post getting Bret? Even when WWE was struggling against WCW on cable in the States, they remained #1 on TV in Canada (by a lot).

Bret probably came out of the event with more steam in Canada than he had going in, yet WCW didn't bother to do much in the way of business in Canada. So I guess whatever major Canadian expansion that was planned and that Bret was worried about hurting by doing the favours ONE TIME, wasn't really set in stone. And oh yeah Bret had a guaranteed contact anyway.

No doubt Vince should have forced Bret to drop the strap before telling him to go to WCW, but Bret acted as selfishly as anyone in the history of the business. That's a slap in the face to all the guys who put him over along his way to the top, Shawn included. But I guess we're supposed to forget Shawn ever put him over.

The best part of this story is that in the end Bret's selfishness forced Vince's hand, which created the character that carried the company to unprecedented heights and Bret fizzled when he didn't have Vince protecting his limitations.

Ah, you are right.

Well then, if possible:

-Have Undertaker defeat Bret at Survivor Series. Bret leaves after SS as par the course.

-Undertaker defeats Ken Shamrock in a hard fought contested match which illustrates that Shamrock is close to being on that level. Shawn Michaels defeats Owen Hart.

-Shawn Micheals defeats Undertaker due to Kane interference (as par with what actually happened).

Actually, Bret has gone on record stating that he knew Vince was smart/genius enough to take the 'screw job' event and do great business from that (source - Off The Record - Michael Landsberg - 2003).

Bret is and was far more bitter at how poorly WCW used him, and blames Bischoff and Hogan. Bret has also forgiven both Shawn and Vince for the screw job and pretty much holds Hunter responsible for engineering Montreal (if you listen to the sit-down interview with JR/Bret/Shawn, it's revealed that Triple H was the first one to mention the screw job idea outloud.....although all of Vince, Shawn, and HHH were thinking it). Since that sit-down interview, Bret has bashed Triple H in interviews on a few occasions, just as he's done to Hogan and Bischoff.

And also, him not wanting to drop the title is not "the most selfish act ever in the business". Fucking Stan Hansen sent AWA their title back from Japan shattered with a hammer. Wrestling is an inherently selfish business.

Michaels was an insecure bitch who was envious of Bret. If you watch Greatest Rivalries Shawn admits his need for validation from Bret. Watch the ending segments where they are walking along the dock..michaels constantly turn to bret as they talk..such an insecure little bitch.

Bret perceived losing in Canada would harm his value long term. Vince perceived that Bischoff announcing the WWF Champ was leaving for WCW would have killed his company. They were both probably wrong, but since neither of them are clairvoyant, surprisingly, they didn't know that.

At the time WWF is getting its ass kicked in US, and Bret was very clearly the biggest Canadian draw. Wanna know how many shows WCW ran in Canada in 1998 after it landed Bret? Zero. Did they know the WWF would get the super media coverage of Tyson in November that would help turn things around? No, they did not.

This is a prisoner of the moment situation on both sides, and in your chest out stupidity you demonstrate that not only do you not comprehend what this was really about, but makes me wonder if you were actually watching in 1997 at all to understand the tenor of the times. Vince was terrified of the way his company would look and overreacted, and ended up making it a far bigger deal, and Bret was concerned he'd lose his golden ticket for big contracts going forward, the thing that allowed him to negotiate such a huge number in the first place.

The entire situation was guys worrying about the unknown. What would happen if it went the other way and the possibilities. And your explanation for why thats stupid is by calling on everything they didnt know at the time.

Please, never be a lawyer.

Haven't a bunch of guys, especially Vince Russo and Kevin Kelly, come out and said that Bret shot down doing jobs to anyone throughout the month of November, not just HBK, but other top guys as well. I think that is the most important issue, not that him and Shawn were enemies, but that he refused to do business with the guys he was even close with like UT, Foley, and Shamrock. If that was the case, even on US soil, I don't see what else Vince could have done, really.

False. Shawn at the time was not better than Bret. You could argue post 2002 he was. Which he probably was. But 1996 or 1997 he really wasn't. Maybe he wasn't to your tastes but your tastes are dumb (nah jokes I heart you)

At the end of the day ric flair walked out with the title as well and wore it on Fucking wwf television for months. People try to act like Bret was breaking some sacred rule when a) he wasn't leaving with the belt and b) it had been done when guys weren't treated right on their way out in the past

Also if you are arguing about how the belt was "fake" and and Bret shouldn't have cared about dropping it since it was a dumb fake belt, Vince went to a lot of lengths to keep his fake belt.

It's amazing how hard it is for people to accept that Shawn and Hunter were being weasily littlendipshits, Bret was being his difficult self and Vince was being sleezy. The 3 aren't mutually exclusive.

Shawn Michaels was an asswipe. Good in the ring - not believable but good in terms of entertainment. Seeing Sid punch him in the face over and over was enjoyable

In 1995/1996 Michaels promos were decidedly shit. He was fucking annoying.

Haha, Liam schooled CyNick so bad. I missed this thread last year, but I cannot believe that CyNick tried to use the future to explain the past. What? Does the guy not get how time works?

What was the final straw for CyNick's trollness being soundly defeated? I know #1-wwf-fan went on a crusade to encourage people not to interact with him, and BigCrippyZ and hb2k used to Crossface/Superkick him repeatedly, but was there a final showdown? I feel like I have asked this before.

But we're in the world of wrestling. If Bret doesn't want to lose and Shawn doesn't want to lose and you need to get the belt off Bret -- I dunno, I'm not going to say that I believe it's a work, because it seems to go against everything I know, but it'd be kind of sweet if it were. Maybe not as sweet as Justin Trudeau, but still sweet.

Give me a reason why vince came to ringside if it wasnt a work. Why would he not use the ear pieces in any of the half a dozen people at ringside? If it werent wrestling youd automatically think it was stupid.

Actually, fucking yeah. Hahaha, I can't believe I've never thought of that.

Well, okay, but isn't it possible that Vince and Shawn knew what they were doing (well, obviously), and that they were going to use it to get Shawn over as a bigger heel and introduce Vince McMahon as a character without Bret knowing?

Nah. Bret was in. If he wasnt Owen wouldnt have stayed. The whole thing was to keep bret from getting sued. Bret promised to Blaze the belt on nitro. Woulda killed the fed no question. War over. Bret and vince used that to get a huge payday for bret and crafted this elaborate song and dance to take the balme off bret.

Without the belt bischoff had nothing for bret. That was the angle when he gave him the contract. So bret just never did anything.

Interesting. So why nothing when Bret's career was over until 2010? Hangover from the Owen death?

If it was a work, then it really is a beautiful bit of kayfabe.

What has Eric Bischoff said about his plans for Bret? Has he come out and said that he instructed him not to lose and to burn the belt on Nitro?

I don't think there's a good explanation even if he doesn't come over with the belt. You've for Bret Hart and then do nothing with him? 1998 was a great year for WCW, but fuck me does it make no sense.

Yeah, that really is one the great unspoken ironies of the situation. Everything they were worried about, WCW didnt even fucking bother trying.

I believe this now. Not to mention the fact that he is notorious for protecting his image as a tough guy boss. He no sold two quad tears on live TV and continued an angle. There is no way he would let film out of him stumbling around like a drunk after eating a punch.
