examples of masterful politicking ?

That has literally nothing to do with anything I'm talking about.

Pretty sure Anvil never went over anybody of note, he was just an effective bit of muscle in the Hart Foundation, and the history he had with the Harts was relevant. You are just assuming things about my point of view, once more.

Thought maybe I said something crappy about Brutus? I don't remember, but I never compared them, or talked about Hogan helping out Brutus as a negative. I literally just talked about how I didn't like how Hogan treated Bret because I thought it was crap for business.

Your logic continues to be circular. I think you think you're putting forth some argument that hasn't been made a bajillion times before, whereas this is the EXACT same argument about Montreal that's been had a thousand times. And it has nothing to do with Bret having amazing matches. Whether you think Bret was right or wrong, it's pretty clear there were extenuating circumstances vs. Hogan just being a giant wang and not wanting to pass the torch. Also, keep in mind, Bret had already passed the torch to Shawn the year before. Bret had jobbed to Sid, and Vader as well, while also helping solidify Austin as a big time player. Hogan "passed the torch" to Warrior by jobbing clean (then proceeding to sandbag Warriors title run), but he never wanted to do the same for Bret, even once. And used Warriors title run (the one which he sandbagged) as a reason not to put over Bret. YET, he put over fucking yokozuna, who anyone and their mother knew especially as a monster heel, was NOT carrying the company.

As far as the rest of it, hb2k pretty much covered how Bret was willing to drop the title at any point other than that night to Shawn. But it's okay, we'll just keep running this ridiculous broken record.
