I'm not saying what Vince did was right.
I'm saying it was good for the company.

Get your facts straight. I hate having to go through this all the time. Bret never wanted to leave!! He even declined wcw's initial offer a year earlier..for a ton of cash!! He chose loyalty instead. He asked vince what he could do to stay, but vince kept insisting he could not afford him.
Bret wanted to drop it to austin, or taker, and the title would have held just as much meaning as when he had it. HBK was an asshole like loose cannon has stated.
And creative control..bret had that. This means not one of them can do something with which the other does not agree to. It was vince's idea to include this. So it's his damn fault. But the thing is, vince went along with it..he lied to bret saying "ok, we'll have both stables do a run-in during the match." He lied to his face, so he could get out of a deal he inked with bret. That is what pisses everyone off, including the wrestlers like foley and taker etc.
Vince totally was in the wrong, and nothing he did was right.
He comes up with a cop-out, worrying bret would leave with his title and maybe trash it on wcw programming. That's pure BS! Bret grew up in the business...he respected the business. His father would practically disown him for doing a stunt like that. No, sorry, I dont buy that line from vince.
Bret never deserved that ending. And it's a shame I had to witness it live.
