No...but seriously...Bret Hart is my favourite wrestler of all time bar none...and it sucked what happened to him. I can understand why hed be angry, but he at least seems to be getting over it slightly...say what you want I guess and I'm kinda rambling here....but to a certain extent I can understand Vince's side as well.
(EDIT) and I also agree with Stickman here: Quote:

For the record, I think what Vince did was a shitty way to resolve a dispute, and that it was bad business.
On the other hand, you look at the end result, and how retarded the argument is back and forth, that alone should probably have killed the discussion. But wrestling fans don't let go of the past. |

Ten years removed from the event, Shawn Michaels is main eventing Survivor Series.
Ten years removed from the event, Bret Hart is crying about something he could have prevented. Who's lost his smile now? Hmmmmm? |

Since then, the other had 8 concussions in 3 weeks that ended his career as well as a major stroke to which he had almost fully recovered from. Oh and he never cried on national TV about it either. That's all. |

Why does he speak of it so much then? Even when asked about his carrer he speaks of that night in Montreal above all else.

So Rob you are now saying that you do agree with me. But for a different reason. Now you say Bret speaks about it because it was a big moment in wrestling. Not that it's because he can't get past it. ?

To me from Rob, yes. I say he can't get past it. He says that is my opinion. To me if he was past it he wouldn't always what to talk about it. But now Rob stating that it is because it was such a big moment. That is the first time I hear Rob at least say Bret talk about it.

Good job trying to bridge one notion with another. Especially when the other notion was never contended, at all.

TBH Bret was leaving for WCW so i don't blame vince/shawn/hhh/hebner for screwing him out of the title. He can't expect to leave WWF and just be champion while he's working for another company.

although it did make him look like a fool, which i can imagine is part of why he's so pissed off.

Which kind of makes that sort of logic moot. I mean, I know it's hard to imagine that there are other ways of resolving conflicts other than "screwing" people, but I've discovered a couple. |

Bret was not going to WCW right after Survivor Series. He had a few dates left, Including Raw, where he was going to drop the Title. It's not like he was leaving with the Title |

hey, I have been guilty of being ignorant on the whole thing before. But you look back now and yea, everyone involved here were wrong in some way
Bret should have agreed to drop the Title in Montreal. It's a work; a fake show. You do what's best for the show and for business. I know he had creative control and it was dickead HBK, but still. I know Bret was willing to job after the show/before the show, but not on the PPV. He really wanted to forfeit the Title afterwards on Raw, but that's a HBK move and it's stupid. Vince and HBK (Hunter, Earl, production guys etc..) all guilty of lies and srewing a guy that was there for 14 years. You just don't do that. Vince is the owner. He should of been man enough to say fuck you to Bret up front and not going behind his back. |

I will post for guys a review of Brets book. Just to change that other topics.
-BOOK REVIEW- The Bottom Line Bret Hart liked to refer to himself as the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. While some might argue that statement in regards to his career and DVD, it can not be debated when it comes to his book. If Mick Foley's first book set the bar by which all other wrestling books are measured then this book has significantly raised the bar. Pros By far, the most words in a wrestling book. Bret was a part of almost every major change in the industry for 20 years. Bret doesn't just dish the dirt on others; he also fairly discusses his own faults. Many false rumors that have been accepted as facts have been rebuked. Cons A reader needs to know a little about the sport to appreciate the stories in the book. You need a scorecard to keep track of all the Hart relatives; a family tree would have been nice. Description The book is currently only available in Canada. The book is 592 pages. The font of the words is by far the smallest for any wrestling book. Guide Review - Hitman by Bret Hart Bret tells a story of death, drug abuse, jealousy, spousal abuse, adultery, and divorce. And that is just about the members of the Hart family. Amazingly, when Bret discusses the insane world of wrestling his life appears to be normal. And his discussion of the world of wrestling is by far the greatest look at the inner workings of the industry that has ever been written. Since he is no longer active in the sport and has no fears about having to please Vince McMahon he writes whatever he pleases about the company and the world of wrestling with no fear of retribution. However, there is a huge cloud of sadness that surrounds this book. While the overall story describes the death of the sport as he grew up knowing it, there is just way too much death that has led to that. Bret talks about the pressures and the ways that wrestlers coped with those pressures that has led to the epidemic that is in the news right now. As Bret discusses all of his friends in the business doing what they did, you just knew that these stories all had a tragic ending. Amazingly, after reading this book I can't believe that there are not even more dead wrestlers. One of the best things about this book is that so many rumors that have been reported as fact over the years have been refuted (ex: the original ending of the Final Four Match, and why Bret lost the Intercontinental Championship). Of course Bret goes into detail about the Montreal Screwjob and the death of his brother Owen. The story about Owen is sure to make any person with an ounce of empathy furious at the WWE, their lawyers, and many members of the Hart family. |

Why is there a need for a new Montreal/Bret Hart topic every week?

$10 says Bret comes back at SS and "screws" Shawn out of the title.
But I'm a Bret fan, so this happening would be awesome to me just to see Bret again, forget the whole overplayed Montreal aspect, and is most likely a pipe dream. Maybe Bret is the save_us guy.
