Each side knows that happened, and each side has their own story to tell. The Hart fans will tell you that Vince promised Bret that he could hand over the title the next night. The Kliq fans say Bret was a greedy bastard who got what he had coming to him.
Even other wrestlers have their point of view on it. Mick Foley didn’t show up to work that Monday out of protest, and The Big Show just plainly said Bret screwed Bret.
10 years later HBK is still hated in parts of Canada, and 10 years later, what’s more than this, Bret is still bitching about it.

The sad truth of the matter, is that Bret had TONS of chances to prove that he was the bigger man....and failed misreably. Instead of rising above those who criticised him, Bret continued to "defend himself" and take shots at his detractors....be it Ric Flair, HBK, Vince McMahon, etc. etc.
Any time Bret was given a chance to speak ill of HBK or Vince....he did.
As much as people can rag on HBK (he genuinely was a prick back in the day), atleast HBK has made a genuine opportunity to better himself...as a human being. In the WWE, HBK tries to lead by example and is actually a lockerroom leader. Considering his age, its remarkable what HBK can still do. Kudos to the man for attempting to find god. I used to think that HBK "finding god" was a crock, but he's proven me otherwise.
Bret on the other hand, just continues to attack people from his high horse....all the while, recently admitting that he was an adulterer.
Bret is a disgrace to Owen (RIP).
