Bret was the babyface champion coming off a great win in a great match against Bulldog. That was a classic at In Your House. When Michaels took the beating against Undertaker, he was the heel, so he was expected to take the beating, take whatever finisher, but win by interference or DQ or...

In late September, Vince told Bret money was no longer a problem, that he could pay him in full. It wasn't the money. Bret was unhappy about the direction of the company, and when Vince laid out plans for him, which were losing to Michaels at a series of PPV matches before he beat Michaels on...

There are a few things left out... First off, In early September Vince said he couldn't afford to pay Bret, but by late September at the MSG Raw Vince told Bret that money was no longer a problem, that he could pay him in full. Then Vince laid out his plans, he wanted Bret to job to Michaels...

Regarding the poster's comments about Cornette: In both Bret's and Shawn's books, they said after their backstage fight, they started being cordial to each other again. Bret said Shawn acted fine to him and didn't disrespect him after he returned from his little break when they had the...

First of all, in regards to the ladder match... Shawn nor Razor knew they would be working a ladder match of any kind until they arrived at house show events in early 1994 and saw on their booking sheets a "ladder match" for them and they were puzzled by it, and weren't sure what to do even...

Actually seeing someone else' post jogged my memory. I thought Flair should have stayed until WM9 and had the loser leaves town with Mr. Perfect at WM. Change up Shawn's match because the ending was brutal. Tatanka was being pushed hard but I don't know if it was the right time for that...

According to Bret's book, Vince had him win King of the Ring 1993 to build him up for a match against Hogan at Summerslam for the title, which they had already done photo-shoots doing a tug-of-war with the belt and other poses in Halifax and apparently Vince told Bret he was going over Hogan...

Also, Bret's contract date hadn't come up yet for WWF, but he had already made more than enough dates to satisfy his contract. Bret also chose to leave. In October 1997 at Long Island, NY Vince told Bret that money was no longer a problem, and that he could pay him in full and meet his...

I agree that Bret wouldn't have shown up on Nitro... The worry was that Eric Bischoff was gonna go on Live TV an hour before RAW started and announce that WCW had just signed the CURRENT WWF CHAMPION. Everyone knew who that was, and if Bret retained the title at Survivor Series, went into RAW...

Shawn vs Tatanka was a good match, but I would have liked to see him wrestle Mr. Perfect. I know they were building and pushing Tatanka, but the ending was brutal. I also thought they should have had Macho win the Royal Rumble, turn into a psycho angry heel, and put Bret over, as that could...

Bret said in his book that Vince's plans for him if he chose to stay would be to lose to Shawn in a string of PPV matches for the belt, including a ladder match at Royal Rumble 1998 (where Shawn would have never hurt his back because he wouldn't be wrestling Taker in the casket match). After...

It very well could have been that match if Bret decided to stay. According to his book, if Bret stayed these were the plans Vince laid out for him: He would lose to Michaels at Survivor Series, lose to Michaels at the In Your House following Survivor Series, lose to Michaels in a ladder match...

It's a work for all parties besides Bret and the Hart Foundation. Vince and his agents that he told prior, Shawn, HHH, Chyna, they all had to play a part after the execution of the Screwing. Even planning the screwing was worked out in advance.

I always liked Shawn Michael's entrances. His music was foot-tapping and catchy, they went all out with the lights and fire works, the WM12 entrance was great.

What I was saying is that it was a work in the sense that Vince, HHH, Shawn, Vince's close agents, and some important technical officials "worked" but that Bret Hart and his crew wasn't in on it. It's hard to believe that Bret would turn his post-WWF life into a fraudulent story by the material...
