shawn/bret was a real issue, most of which took place backstage or slipped into interviews. You only knew of the real tension if you were smart back then. Austin/bret had more substance to it on tv which makes it a greater rivalry. In so many instances it did feel like a shoot. The wm13 match was probably the most realistic match in wrestlemania history.
To think that bret put on a classic like that then another with taker at summerslam and vince just pushed hiim out the door.
Austin/bret was a complete work but it felt just as,if not more real than bret/shawn.
