examples of masterful politicking ?

The Bret/Shawn issue has to do with 2 things 1). Trust 2). Respect. It's really that simple when you break it down.

I friggin' hate when a guy like Vince Russo gets on there and says Bret shot down EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITY because I think that is complete bullshit. Those possibilities were limited to what McMahon wanted to happen plain & simple.

If Bret really wanted to find out if he can trust Shawn in the ring, and Vince wanted Shawn to go over clean for the title, why not do a double pin first!?! Haven't they done shit like that before!?! They could have either restarted the match or concluded it the following night.

As far as Bret losing in Canada, I think the words used to describe that feeling are always misinterpreted. It was Bret's final PPV event, going against a guy that he has a personal issue with, which whom the company wants as the next clean champion. Bret not wanting to lose in Canada I think is a simple redirection of what he really felt which was he did not want to lose to Shawn in his final PPV event as the champion. Hence the reason why he says he'd lose to anybody else or lose to Shawn on Raw. Back then, PPV was a much bigger deal than Raw.
