Mustang Sally
Sells seashells by the seashore
What's the problem with asking WCW what they would offer?
As far as Bret's personal career path goes, there was nothing wrong with it.....especially as it concerned the idea of forcing his current employer to offer him a better deal than he would have gotten without the WCW negotiations.....and that's what happened, right? Whatever led Vince McMahon to suffer brain lock in signing Bret to a contract he soon after deemed unrealistic is something that's locked up in McMahon's head.
Still, I can understand why McMahon might see Bret's talking to WCW as a betrayal. Hart had been with WWE for 13 years and Vince had boosted Bret to career heights he had never known anywhere else......and what does Vince get at contract time? The knowledge Bret had gone straight to WCW to find out what they've got for him.
Again, I'm not saying Bret was disloyal.....I'm just suggesting that Vince might have thought so.
