From my understanding, Bret wasn't upset that he had to drop his belt on the way out, it was the ending of the match that he disagreed with. They were trying to put it down to him tapping out to his own move the "Sharpshooter". But Bret said no way would he tap to it, finish it any other way. I guess it got under Vince's skin so bad, that he marched down and called for the bell. But, that was just what I had heard through various tellings
@trevorcampbell9294

@@aaronburtram3175 Here's a full breakdown. Shawn and Bret didn't like each other. Shawn was known to be a massive prick backstage, and Bret didn't like that. But Bret still did his job and put Shawn over at WrestleMania 12. The plan was for Shawn to hold the title for a year, and drop the belt at Wrestlemania 13 to Bret. Mere weeks before the event, Shawn, in an act of spite, fakes a knee injury and tells the world that he "lost his smile." The belt is vacated, put on Taker who wrestles Sid at Mania, and Bret wrestles Steve Austin in a fucking corker of a match. Pulling off a perfect double turn. Bret became a heel in everywhere that wasn't Canada, wins the title back. In the background, WWF are going through a pretty significant money problem, as WCW are kicking their ass. Vince tells Bret that he doesn't want to make him an offensive offer, and that he should take the deal WCW had offered. Bret signs with WCW and his contract is set to expire at Survivor Series 1997. The plan became pretty simple. Bret drops the belt to Shawn at Survivor Series, and then he'd take off. About 6 months before Survivor Series as Bret is feuding with HBK and DX, is the infamous "Sunny Days" promo. Where Shawn implies that a married Hart is having an affair with Sunny. Bret goes fucking ballistic backstage. Leading into the PPV, which is in Montreal, Shawn tells Bret that he'd never put him over. Bret goes to Vince and tells him that he doesn't want to drop the belt to Shawn in Montreal. He's happy to drop it to Taker, Austin, anyone else, not Shawn. Vince tells him he has to. Bret says "well, my WCW contract doesn't kick in until December 1, why don't I make a special appearance, uncontracted on Raw the next night and drop it to someone else?" Vince didn't agree. Bret finally said "ok, I'll drop it on Raw to Shawn, but I'm not dropping it at Survivor Series." Vince agreed. And the rest plays out in front of the world. Vince is paranoid. Shawn is a bratty little turd. Hebner only cares that he gets paid. So in summary. Bret took a stand that he wasn't going to lose that match under any circumstances.

I just loved his matches and the way he carried himself: like a true professional and a true champion.
Bret is still one of my all time favourite wrestlers. Thanks for the great memories.
you could probly bet money that this dude is a decent guy off camera. Not to mention he was great in the ring. Hogan and warrior ducked him, he made flair and Austin cry uncle, ko'd gol'berg and after he jack slapped hbk all over backstage he pinned taker for the belt int the middle of the ring. Every match was a classic with him.

Flair and Austin were 2 of his closest friends and Austin even credits Bret for his wrestling career.
He should consider it a compliment that people think it’s a work because it means that his work was so believable that even now people can’t tell the difference.
Vader warned Bret because in Japan they did a lot of screwjobs he told him if you ever get pinned kickout quickly and don't get put in any type of submissions
No way bret would approve to this storyline if it was a work that he knew about.

I'm sure the Screwjob wasn't a work but the odd thing is if Vince and co. Booked that ending and pitched it to Bret, Bret probably would've been fine with it. It helps Bret's stock going to WCW, it helps out Vince and Austin but it also doesn't do much for HBK winning the title in that manner.

The Alundra Blaze counter-argument is a moot point because Bret would've never contemplated whoring out the WWF title like that and Vince knew the same (which makes it worse -- Vince took advantage of Bret's loyalty and that's one of the most sickening aspects of the Screwjob).

I remember Ric Flair showing up to the Funeral Parlor with the World Championship Wrestling title in WWF back in 1991.. I also remember Alundra Blayze throwing the WWF Women's title in the trash . Vince didn't want that to happen at all.. it was ok for Ric coming in but not for Bret going out.. what's hilarious though is Vince buys the competitor anyways. Felt bad for the wrestlers checks bouncing but that's what happens when you stack your roster with way too many ppl. The cruiserweight division alone was stacked and WWE took advantage of this with Eddie,Benoit,Y2J but Austin started the turning point on the wars.. Vince capitalized on the whole Eric Bischoff getting thrown around so he took a few stunners.

BINGO! I know Bret is honest. He doesn't hold back on anything & I do not believe he's lying abt this. IDC what anyone says.
I’ve always rode the fence pertaining to what happened in Montreal. I’m an enormous Bret fan and he absolutely has every right to be bitter about how everything went down, but I also understand why Vince made the decision he did. As Cornette said, “it was the biggest clusterfuck in the history of clusterfucks.”

All Vince had to do was get Bret to drop the belt to literally anyone other than Shawn and he would have. Even Taker has said as much and states emphatically that he never met a more loyal soldier than Bret Hart.

I remember New Jack had to pull his card cause Nash lied about New Jack and had never even met him before being confronted by New Jack. There’s a video of that.
This ruined wrestling today. Now I have to see a bunch of HBK cosplayers like the Young Bucks tumble around the ring & the marks make up 90% of the wrestlers today while the true workers like Punk & FTR & MJF are very few & far between. I'll never forgive Vince & HBK for destroying wrestling. HBK himself said in a 2000 shoot interview "I know I'm one of the guys who started this moving but sometimes I just miss good old-fashioned rasslin'." So you HBK guys out there... You're not even listening to ya boy. He does not even support you.

Bret "the Hitman" Hart is The Best there is The Best there was and, The Best there Ever Will Be !!! Just like he always said !!! Look at his past matches. . . Need i say more
The fact that Bret became so bitter and lost love for the industry after it is enough proof that it wasn’t a work.
Hahaha Bret said Undertaker is one of the last people alive to witness the incident. Shows how old the incident was. We have to move on as a wrestling community. It’s over it’s done. I’m sure all the people involved still alive? Are tired of talking about it. Especially Shawn.

Vince forced Bret out the door because he couldn't afford to pay him for the 20-year contract he signed Bret to just one year prior. Bret never wanted to leave. Vince forced him to and even said go to WCW and negotiate the best deal you can. By the time Bret was heavily in talks with WCW, Vince had a windfall in PPV revenue and halfheartedly tried to renegotiate with Bret, but the deal was already nearly done.

Bret had "reasonable creative control". Leaving the WWF for WCW and never having lost the championship isn't being reasonable. Do you have any idea how bad it would have looked if WCW advertised that they signed the WWF champion? That would have made the WWF look second-rate, and made the new WWF champion look very weak because they would have never beat the former champion in the ring.

@@js09js09 Except Bret was reasonable and you dont know what you are talking about. He offered to drop the belt before the PPV, at the PPV to anyone but Shawn, offered to forfeit the belt after the match or the next night on Raw. Heade reasonable accomodations and concessions to the WWF with uos only request being ,I wont drop the belt to Shawn in Canada" which Vince is recorded as agreeing to, making itnoegally binding. Bret could have brought a Lawsuit for the remainder of his contract, threatened multiple times and Warrior even reached out to him in 1998 during HIS Lawsuit with Vince and offered Bret the opportunity to use his Attorneys and join up with him to sue Vince over breach of contract. Bret never did it because he always had it in his mind he would fulfill his WCW contract, reach out to Vince and make amends and have a WWF return.

Brett is always noted for his honesty, and telling it like it is. If the screw job was a work, he would say so, especially after all this time!

In other settings, he has halfway admitted that it was a work. He knows that it was a work, but he doesn't KNOW that he knows it. Like O.J. or Jeffrey MacDonald. "Absolutely 100% shoot". Brett should write a book entitled "If I Worked It". Generally, the closer to the business people are, the more likely they are to suspect that it was a work and the more "markish" they are, the more likely they are to fully believe in it, and it has been said that Bret is his own biggest mark.
