As far as Montreal goes, like you said earlier, you probably used a really bad example there - as I could have used a better example of someone making a seperation of reality and fiction than Hart; but I think he really is reasonable.

Montreal is beyond being a work. When someone promises you something in the ring and then goes against that - that really goes over the kayfabe line bigtime, and gives someone a right to be completely upset.

Just as Vince & Shawn and Hebner promised everything would be on the up and up [and lied about that], Hart could have given his word that he would do a clean match - and then beat the fuck out of Michaels legitimately. We would all be talking about the night Hart knocked the stuffing out of Shawn instead, and Shawn would undoubtedly be bitching about it until today, as Hart complains about the swerve.

Personally, I'd have seen that coming from MILES away - but that is just me. I think it's nice of Bret to put trust into someone you've given your life to for 15+ years [as you would in a marriage], but he should've known it's VKM.

With this, if I were a guy who worked for a company for "X" number of years, constantly putting on high quality performances, nearly never missing a date, being a major draw and merchandise mover, and doing everything that they'd asked me to do - AND STAYED LOYAL and turned down money one time after another, and avoided being Captain Politics - I'd call myself that as well.

There is hardly anyone that can say all of that for themselves.

Certainly not Michaels.
