HBK not happy with match at summerslam

LC is right. destor18 this is really one of those subjects that you need to get all your facts straight before you try having an in-depth discussion.

Hart had a long term deal with the WWF. Vince went to Bret and told him basically "We're broke. We can't afford to pay you this deal. Why don't you see if the WCW can get you a contract you'd be happy with?" At this point, Bret had every legal right to force McMahon and the WWF to live up to the term or buy-out the contract. Instead, he went to the WCW and got an offer.

That whole "One dollar more" stuff was Bret saying "Here's their initial offer. Match it. Give me one dollar more. I can get more from them, but I want to stay here....here's your chance to keep me."

Vince passed, and then the Screw Job went down. Bret Hart isn't a perfect human being. And he definitely is a bitter, bitter man sometimes. But the Montreal situation isn't just about Vince and HBK protecting the WWF name or not wanting to do the job or whatever. it was about the way Vince treated one of the most loyal, hard-working men the business has ever seen and about the fact that HBK was a two faced piece of shit who buried friend and foe alike to make himself look good; before there was a Triple H glass ceiling, there was an HBK who if he had had his way would've never had to 'share the spotlight' with guys like Foley, Austin or Rocky.

Back to topic: and that's exactly why I could give two shits if the SS ending pissed him off.
