So you're the one that insinuated that Bret threw the belt away, when I replied with did Bret throw it in the trash can?
Bret and Alundra Blaze, not the same people. Bret was loyal, Alundra had a chip on her shoulder. Bret was nothing but loyal to the WWE for 12 years, plain and simple. He saw Vince as another father, so there was zero motivation for him to do that
And besides, didn't Vince want Flair to bring the WCW title to the WWF so he can show boat it on TV. Vince was afraid that what he did to the NwA/WCW was coming back to bite him in the ass. So again, Vince's fault, not bret.
Jeff Hardy is shit. Why is he getting a push, to try and take away from Jericho's return because the Kliq, ie Nash and Triple H, have a stick up their asses concerning Jericho and anything to ruin him they'll jump right on it. Hence, Hardy gets a push. It's all politics.
