Nah but seriously, those are some good points.
Bret was at one time very embittered over what happened, and it was justified. The man has been able to forgive Earl, to forgive Vince to an extent.
The man has done his best with a shitload of awful luck. I respect him.
I think we have to credit Shawn and Bret for one simple reason: They made their feud so great, it goes down into their fans. You very rarely see anything else like it. You like Bret, you dont like HBK, You like HBK, you dont like Bret.
But I think deep down, we respect them both for their ability to make compelling entertainment and it's entrenched in realism. Todays stars lack this ability.
Personally, it's the fans who are still notr over what happened ten years ago, no matter what side you're on.
The wrestlers and those involved have done their best to move on, well except maybe Vince, he still loves bringing it up to pop a crowd or generate heat. They go back to it every now and then when they cant think of anything else creatively.
