HBK's new book.
 

Given, I don't follow wrestling as much as most of you and during the whole "brett/hbk" thing I wasn't watching wrestling, so this may be old news to everyone.

But, in HBK's new book, he pins the whole thing not on himself or Vince... but HHH.

- In his new book, Shawn Michaels openly discusses the 1997 Survivor Series swerve on Bret Hart and how he helped Vince McMahon make the final decision for the main event match. "We (Triple H and Michaels) both felt that Vince was already thinking about a possible swerve, but he couldn't ask me to do that," Michaels wrote. "I needed to volunteer." Prior to Triple H and Michaels discussing their options, Triple H planted the seeds of discontent in McMahon's ear during a mid-week conference call prior to Survivor Series. "(Bret Hart) went behind your back and negotiated a deal with WCW...and now he is leaving to get even more money," Triple H told McMahon. "We have people leaving in the middle of the night and taking their belts and dropping them in trash cans on WCW. We can't afford for that to happen with the World Wrestling Federation Championship!" According to Michaels, McMahon was still hesitant to go through with the last-ditch effort of a mid-match swerve to get the belt off Hart as he wanted to discuss the matter with Hart prior to the PPV.

Yea, I've heard this before. Can't remember where I saw it though. I remember reading or hearing on how HBK was going to job, but HHH came to him and was like "what are you stupid, you can't let a guy going to WCW beat you" or something like that.

Sweet. Is there anything we CAN'T blame Hunter for?

Woah woah woah... Woah. Triple H was in McMahon's ear in 97?

The Big Bang, although that's currently being debated.

He is signing copies in book shops on the survivor Series Tour.

I hear Hunter held down matter, CAUSING the big bang,

Bret said on Off the Record that HHH was always ahuge ass-kisser and that he had his head up Vince and Shawn's asses

not surprised at all

bullshit - michaels was never gonna job to bret - this was before wrestlemainia 13 - remember the "i lost my smile - and have a career threatening pussy foot injury" ?

I think if anyone- it was michaels who had Vince's ear during that era-

shawn michaels proves yet again what a liar he is.

Not necessarily. Shawn could have told Hunter to get into Vince's ear, in which case he's technically not lying...

"technically" - yes..in every other way he is a fucking liar.

Remember shawn in the locker room " swearing to bret he didnt know a thing about it. Then admiting "on off the record" that he knew everything. Now pinning it on HHH.

Shawn grow a spine and while u at it-grow some balls

grow some hair.

that too!

gotta love polictics in the WWE. i still like it though when the topic is brought up about Series 97' that he plays it off like a joke (playing hart's music on raw, using the sharpshooter at Summerslam this year after the "you screwed bret chant started) it's these things that tip the scales of debate about who was involved or why shawn agreed to it in the first place, and how he can play it off so calmly

OK, here is where I have drawn the line.

I no longer give a fucking shit who said what or how this happened. It happened. Bret screwed Bret, McMahon screwed Bret, Hunter screwed Michaels, They all screwed each other nightly. I don't care. No matter who says what I can all but 100% promise you that it was a huge cluster fuck of lies and manipulation. Was Michaels the guy who in the middle of taking a facial shot by Vince suggested that he not lose to Hart? Maybe, maybe not. But I can put a no-bullshit 100% ceritified stamp on the fact that Michaels surley didn't protest the idea. McMahon was panicy, Hart might have been requesting too much, Michaels never liked Bret, and Hunter was fucking Stephanie back then. I don't care.

Bret Hart shook hands with Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels never had to drop the title to Bret, Hunter now owns more land on top of the glass ceiling then god, and everyone is a millionare. Yeah, life sure did end up sucking for all of them.

^ - life according to the one (c)

Yet another controvesy cleared...thanks to the Shadow Conspiracy.

That's right...I'M CLAIMING THIS ONE! I SCREWED BRET HART! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I also raised the briefcase too.
