Basically HBK was HHH-ing it back then.

The technical parts of this (Bret having creative control, etc) have already been established; no need to repeat them. I don't see why Vince and WWE had to rush the dropping of the belt if Bret was gonna willingly do the right thing and drop it the next night on Raw.

This could have just been another Backlund --> Hogan via Iron Sheik, or Austin ---> HHH via Mankind. But they rushed it.

This was just a poor move on WWE's part. I don't believe in any way that Bret was going to go to WCW with a WWE belt. That just goes against everything in his track record.
