Apologies to Bret?
As most of you probably know, Bret Hart was recently on "Between the Ropes." What he was basically saying about a return, I think, was that he wants an apology from Vince.
Do you think Bret is asking too much? Do you think Vince would ever apologize? Post your thoughts. |

I dont think he is asking for to much. I mean its not like hes asking for a return and to hold the belt right away. He just wants an apology from McMahon for screwing him in that final match. Id ask for the same.
Do I think Vince will apologize?...If Vince wants Bret to return to hype the DVD then yes he will. As he said before he does things that are good business decisions. Bringing Bret back to hype the dvd is a good decision and if that means Vince has to say he is sorry then Im thinking he will do it. |

Vince might say it, but I doubt he means it.
In retrospect screwing Bret was one of the best business moves Vince ever made, how else could you take a fan favorite announcer, owner of (at that time) a thrid generation family owned promotion, and turn him into the biggest heel and jackass just in time to go toe to toe with the biggest anti-athority face ever? He created Mr. McMahon when he screwed Bret, and I am sure not a day goes by were Vince isn't happy about how that all played out, hell he is STILL reeping the benefits. I think the closest Bret will get to a legit apology is Vince saying he is sorry for how things ended up playing out for him. But a full blown sincer "I'm sorry." I doubt it. |

Vince has a lot of self-respect, but don't think for a second there's nothing he wouldn't to help his business.
When it comes to the future of his product then Vince would whore out just about anything. His daughter, his son, his wife, and his own ass (anyone remember the Kiss My Ass club?) So, like The One said, he would say 'I'm sorry' if it meant getting Brett back. But even if he went down to the middle of the ring, get down on his knees and even beg him to come back if it meant more viewers and more revenue - he wouldn't mean it. He'd be doing what was best for his business. |

I dunno about Bret, but words as apologies mean very little to me. I accept my apologies in monetary donations.

Vince better apologies to Bret! Hart gave the best years of his life to Vince's company, he sacrificed family time, years on the road, his body, and is soul to make Vince a few more dollars. Bret even stuck by Vince long after WCW had offered him more money! All Bret wanted was a chance to leave his country the champion, and Vince screwed him! Hell yeah he should say "I'm sorry" for dicking over the man who basically kept his failing company afloat for years.

Vince screwed Bret. Bret got pissed. Vince took it out on Owen. Owen dies doing a gimmick he would never had been doing had Vince not been a fucking baby.
Yeah I think an apology, a sincere apology wouldn't go a miss. |

The apology would be as sincere as Raven's in ECW.

I reckon Vince should apologise on a personal level, but on a business level you can't argue that's one of the best things he's ever done.

Vince, without doing that, would have drowned his own company, but losing any of his top stars at that time would have left them without a paddle. |

Agreed. I was just laughing at the fact that there are people who are so blinded by their Hart markdom (and subsequent loathing of McMahon) that they have themselves convinced that, without Bret, WWF would have folded in the early-to-mid-'90s.

Maybe I mis-spoke about the keeping WWE afloat, how about this, Bret Hart saved the McMahon check book from using up their red pens.

Well, it was just something that a lot of people everywhere caught notice of: Vince ogling Steph's tits. I think it was while helping into/out of a limousine or something.
