I never cared for Hart, but the guys who looked like the biggest bitches of all as a result of the screwjob were indisputably Michaels and Hunter.

Jericho had two things going against him in Vince's eyes- size and a WCW alum. His first appearance was incredible, but they ruined it by having the Rock run him down (and no rivalry resulted from that!). Unless you were Shawn Michaels, Vince did not like "smaller" wrestlers.

It was 100% Bret's fault though.

Maybe even 110%

This is something I just read and had never heard one little word about ever ... if accurate, it's an interesting tidbit to add to the weird equation that got us to the Screwjob.

From the January 27th, 1992 Wrestling Observer Newsletter: "One of the stranger stories of the past week involves the Intercontinental title. Officially, as the storyline goes, Bret Hart went to the ring with a 104 degree fever on Friday night (1/17) in Springfield, MA and lost the title to The Mountie. Mountie in turn dropped the title at the Rumble two days later to Roddy Piper. As has become pretty common knowledge as the week went on, Hart had negotiated and at one point agreed to a deal where he would debut on Tuesday (1/21) at the Clash of the Champions for WCW in Topeka where he'd come out with the Intercontinental title as something of a payback for the WWF bringing in Ric Flair and having him wear what WCW considered their world title belt .......... However after apparently agreeing to the deal, Hart had to back off because he realized his contract with the WWF, which he thought had run out, had rolled over and he couldn't give notice for several more months."

:lol: i am all for the brett hate but Neidhart was not close

It's sad Bret died in 2003 and his evil twin Bert has been living as him for years.

Gonna need a Bert Hart mult pronto.


Best their is
Best their isn't
Best there ever gonna be

I mean, has ANYONE ever looked at Bret flexing and said OH GAH LOOK AT THAT!

No once again you lack of knowledge of the situation shows. Bret told Vince he would lose it anywhere or time except for in front of his hometown crowd. If I remember correctly,the agreed upon way was the next night at Titian Towers. plus,there was the issue of Shawn never doing a job for Bret. Any time it was Shawns turn to lose clean for him something came up.

Yeah the bitch was Bret.

This is only acceptable if you call anyone who's ever refused to job a bitch. For instance Michaels and the MANY times he refused to put another guy over or Austin when he walked out of Raw because he was booked to lose to Lesnar.

As for fault, it's 100% on Vince. He gave Bret the contract then changed his mind and orchestrated the whole affair. Of course McMahon completely accepted responsibility for his actions, unlike self-righteous Michaels and Hunter, who played dumb.

Bret in WCW was a trainwreck, too. All that so he could float around the midcard and try to revive the NWO.

My hatred aside. If you're leaving the company, you drop the belt. And you dont get to decide where to do it.

If you want creative control of a company, maybe dont leave for the rival.

Michaels pulls his "creative control", beats Austin at Mania, does the company survive?

Maybe don't contractually give a guy creative control and then play the victim because he wanted to exercise said creative control. That's on Vince too.
