Bret Hart was told by Vince McMahon he couldn't afford to pay him and he was breeching his deal and told him he should go to WCW and get his big deal there. Bret STILL didn't want to go. Vince forced him out. How is that not loyality?

Val Venis's contract didn't expire until WCW was dead. He was offered a WCW contract before he went to the WWF though. Eric Bischoff wouldn't have touched the likes of Bradshaw and Billy Gunn. The guy didn't even have enough room on his roster for Marty Jannetty who was ten times the worker of both those dicks put together and a bigger name in the business than the pair of them.

For the record, Bob Holly left the WWF for a period in the mid 90's and WCW didn't offer him a contract and this was when they were taking ANYONE. Shows how valuable he was.
Oh OK, and I didn't know that part about the Hart/WCW thing, but he could have really protested against it. And besides, during this time when ratings are down, and Bret Hart could really help, the loyal thing to do would be to do some public appearances, and maybe work in the WWE as a commentator, road agent, talent scout or manager. I think the ratings for WWE Experience would at least triple if Bret Hart and Bobby Heenan were your hosts, instead of Todd Grisham and Ivory.

When I said Val Venis was loyal, I meant what you stated about WCW offering him a contract. Apparantly it was worth more than the WWE's, but Sean Morely signed with Vince and co. anyway. That's something they haven't seemed to have forgotten, and what I think might be keeping Venis around in the WWE, especially after they cut 11 or so people in the last few weeks.
