How about the fact that Vince was man enough to let him know he couldn't afford it and told him to go to WCW for more money, and do not tell me Vince didn't think it would hurt the WWF for Bret to go to WCW.

not trying to start shit because I hate this topic, but I'm just trying to see your point.

Yes, Vince told him to go to WCW, but he still had a signed contract. He still owed Bret the money. Again, just trying to see your point.


Anyway, again, everyone was wrong on this, but there's a lot of levels of wrong. Thinking today, I don't understand why Vince had to do it on live TV. Why didn't he just strip Bret of the Title before the PPV? Kind of a new thought I've had the past few years

That had nothing to do with Vince not wanting to pay Bret an insane amount of money over 19 more years though right.

Vince obviously didn't think it would hurt him or he wouldn't have done it. Infact, he went on record saying he knew WCW would fuck up Bret's career.

Have you ever had a job? Really? I'm serious. I'm asking because there is no fucking way you'd have as much loyality to your employer as you expect Bret Hart to have for Vince McMahon.

Where is Vince McMahon's loyality to everyone he fired? Especially the loyality to guys like Andrew Martin who he fired when he was recovering from a broken neck suffered working for Vince.

If he is so loyal, why doesn't he pay any benefits, taxes or holiday hours to any wrestlers. Wrestlers should be loyal to Vince McMahon though right?

Again, HAVE A WORD!

Yeah, like Loose Cannon, I also hate this topic, but I fail to see this point. If you are under contract, your boss saying "Hey, dude, sorry, I can't pay you," is not "being a man" or an excuse not to owe the money.

  3. What exactly should Michaels be apologising for - following a directive from his employer (oops that's right, sorry...from his "Principle Contractor")?
Shawn would probably want to apologise for clearing his conscience. Pretty much what Rob said -- it is his own business, but being born again and a different person now, if there is guilt, apologising could rid it.

As for what he's apologising for, it'd be the dishonesty in the part he played. Not following orders, but lying about them, and not putting his foot down and saying "Look, this is wrong, can't we just do this honourably."
