Just for the record - I actually DID used to be a Bret Hart fan. I actually DID feel bad for Bret when he got screwed in Montreal. My biggest beef with Bret however, is that... a) He NEVER let go of Montreal and still holds a grudge to this day b) He chose to go down to HBK and Vince's level instead of rising above it Whether people want to admit it or not, Bret JUMPS at the chance to talk about the Montreal Screwjob and how he dislikes Shawn Michaels, etc. Instead of taking the high road and saying, "You know what guys....it was a long time ago....lets move on", he continues to discuss it again and again. Bret ALWAYS gets his feathers ruffled when idiots like HBK and Flair take "pot shots" at him (i.e. "Bret never drew a dime!" "Bret was a very very good wrestler but not a great one!"). He constantly goes DOWN to their level and proves that he's NO BETTER than them by taking pot-shots himself. On top of that, do you notice how most of the "Bret sympathizers" on Tpww have the "victim" mentality themselves? (i.e. Rob Harvey). Rob Harvey fits the EXACT description of a prototypical Bret Hart fan (i.e. wallowing in self-pity, grudge carrying, etc.). Here's some advice for BOTH Rob Harvey and Bret. Stop whining and take action. Stop acting like a "victim" and take responsibility for yourselves. You aren't happy with your situation in life? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. The day Bret Hart ceases to talk about the Montreal situation (whether he brings it up or not), is that day that Bret will have grown up. The day where Rob Harvey stops leaching off the nut sack of Dave Meltzer pretending that he's a somebody, is the day that HE grows up as well. |

the wwe brings it up at every chance as well, they make money of it, why shouldnt Bret? It is STILL the thing people are most curious about when it comes to him. Bret is giving what the public wants.

Bret has already stated several times that everything is fine with life now and doesn't want people worrying over him. Sitting in a wheelchair after a stroke kind of makes a person re-think about what's important. Bret didn't 'go down to HBK's level'; he had the right to decide what to do with the title and he had given Vince and co. another option to take the title off him after Survivor Series. Bret's lawyer had sent Vince and Co. a letter stating he'd do a job for Shawn. How is that sinking to Shawn's level? Why does Shawn get off clean when he says, "My boss asked me to do something, so I did it" despite not doing sh*tloads of stuff his boss asked him to do and doing things his boss would never have wanted him to do? Bret only talks about Montreal because OTHER PEOPLE bring it up. People make it sound like he used to whine about it 24/7 and that you can't have a conversation with him about anything else. It's not about 'being no better' or 'sinking down' with simply defending yourself. Again, Bret gets turned into the bad guy for just responding. Could he stay silent? Sure. Is he wrong to defend himself? No. It's called 'the other side of the story'. The only thing Rob has done is speak the truth that is the most accurate to his knowledge. THAT'S IT! It's not so much that he's trying to make a case against Shawn and elevate Bret to martyr-like status. It's just how things are. In other words, if he had come in here and spouted off a bunch of dirty things about Bret and pointed out Shawn's good qualities, would anyone have said anything? |

well said Mag! Bret hart is paid to do interviews about wrestling so he cant go "i dont wanna talk about that" when its what they fucking paid him to talk about. Bret took the highest road he could with Shawn..and Vince.

Three quick things.
1 - I argue/debate subjects I feel I know enough about. You don't hear me talking about rugby, conflicts in the middle east, the boston tea party or whatever because I don't know enough about them to have a valid opinion. 2 - Why would someone serious give a fuck about what I say online? I'm nobody special. Just a bloke who posts on a wrestling message board. There are millions of us. Big deal. Personal attacks from somebody who knows nothing about me personally other than my real name and my sporting interests don't bother me in the slightest anymore. And I tried to make peace with this dude a while back and he wouldn't even give me an MSN convo so whatever. 3 - I don't hate Shawn Michaels. I don't know him to hate him. And over the last 5 years, I'll sing his praises along with anyone else because his talent, not his ego has done all the talking. |
