    I have always believed Bret’s side of the screw job more because his version has not changed in the 20+ years since it happened. On the WWF side, I’ve heard the Bret screwed Bret version, the McMahon screwed Bret version, the Shawn wasn’t involved version, the Shawn WAS involved version, the Triple H’s idea version, the Vince Russo’s idea version, and finally the Jim Cornette’s idea version. It’s changed so much that the only credible one left is Bret’s version of events imo.

    I've always believed Bret, but to say Taker and Austin stand behind Bret and therefore we should curb our doubt is kinda...a weird way to prove Bret's validity. It is certainly nice that he has people behind him who would be considered top dogs in the game, but ultimately kinda flat in this regard.

    1970's was the best. When I started going to Stampede Wrestling in the late 70's at least 50% of the crowd thought the wrestlers were being legitimately violent. That made the atmosphere in the crowd into a thing that doesn't even compare to the feeling in the arena at today's matches. I saw wrestlers who had to make their entrances and exits with a circle of cops around them. You NEVER see that today. 1970's and early 80's in the territories era had THEE most exciting wrestling ever.

    Yea Bret got paid, hit Vince, and got his head kicked off by Goldberg. All Shawn did since then was be involved in the angle that brought Mike Tyson to the WWE which by multiple accounts was what do won the Monday night wars, was the person to put over the guy who became the biggest money draw in wrestling history in Stone Colds first championship run, then came back after 4 years from spinal fusion surgery, won the world title in the elimination chamber, moty with angle at mania, another moty at mania with hhh & Benoit, retired the Nature Boy, had 2 of the greatest matches ever back to back at Mania with the undertaker. Got to retire when he wanted and then came back 10+ years later and got paid FAT while showing in a match full of guaranteed hall of famers, that he was still the best worker in the ring at 50 years old after more than a decade off. Yes Shawn's crying... in laughter that you think Bret is the 🐐.

What decides who wins is not talent nessesarily, rather victors are picked at random selection. I'm a huge fan of Michaels personally and I kinda liked Bret Hart too. Though nonetheless, even I know that Shawn Michaels WASN'T the best guy in the roster when it comes to pure talent. I'd say both were equally talented, but Bret was a better technical wrestler and was pretty impressive on the mic too. There's a reason why Bret's known to be the best there was and ever will be yeah?

From then and having met him this past March, Bret always greets my friends and me with a warm welcoming smile. Because he never said/did anything that made me feel uncomfortable, I've no reason to doubt Bret's credibility. I can't say the same from meeting Shawn Michaels(and other people I know can attest to this); he made me doubt way too much!

Just really impressive that he still remembers stuff like this compared to some wrestlers who misremember stuff (Like I listened to Booker T talk about his time in TNA and he seems to completely forget about a year of his time there AND how he lost championships there)

    I think it's mostly for two reasons. One was the 20 year contract Bret had signed and with the WWF being in bad shape financially, Vince may have been relieved to have him off the books. And the other reason was the headache that was the Bret Vs Shawn rivalry. It had come to a point where it seemed one or the other had to leave. Vince chose Shawn because he was younger and because he was more in favor of the content of the attitude era.

    It's always best to remember Brett come from a big family and I think he's like the middle child? So when you come from a big family you just have a built-in toughness. So he can absolutely respect the person but hate their actions completely. Sometimes it comes off as bitter or mean but that's not the case at all. It's just a dry way of talking he's the type of guy that never truly gets super excited about anything.

    @@KurtAngle89 I wasn’t a fan during that period (though I was during the Hogan vs Andre era) and began watching when I was flipping the channels and saw this bald headed guy flipping the bird to the crowd and had to stop and see what was going on. From what I’ve listened to on other podcasts, the years after Hogan began a steady decline in $ for the WWE and the period right before the Attitude Era was the lowest, with Shawn, Diesel and Brett being the top performers at the time. Of the 3, Shawn was the best draw and sold the most merchandise while Brett was great in the ring, he was never over when he was a babyface and had the biggest contract. Whatever it was, from the interviews that I’ve listened to, the Kliq had a lot more pull than anyone in the WWE since Hogan and some of them (Shawn) were even more obnoxious than Hogan. As an aside, Cornette has called HHH the “good influence” of the group. IMHO, this is one of those cases where timing of things just screwed everything up. Imagine if Brett had stayed a little longer in the WWE. Austin and the Rock would become the top babyfaces and McMahon would have no reason to continue to coddle Shawn. And Brett would have made a great heel and perhaps sometimes babyface in feuds with Rock, Austin, and HHH. And how good would a Hart vs Angle match have been? Instead, he made more money in WCW, but Bischoff never understood how to use his talent and spent the money, because Ted let him spend, spend, spend.

If Bret had stayed, he would've been feuding with McMahon and/or Austin after that.

    Two things I never understood about the screw job. One, why the hell didn't Vince pull the belt off Bret before he told him in late September that he couldn't pay Bret his contract and that Bret should go ahead and sign with WCW. WWE had the One Night Only PPV in England on September 20, 1997. Vince told Bret that he couldn't pay his contract on September 25, 1997. 100% Vince should have had Bret drop the belt back to Taker (or someone else) at the One Night Only PPV. Problem solved and the screwjob never happens. Second, Bret has said, and WWE doesn't deny this, that he offered to drop the belt to anyone else. So why not have Bret drop it to whoever and then if WWE was insistent on having the belt on Shawn, have that person drop it to Shawn a week/month later. I never got that.

    Bret was a popular draw for Vince and part of it was that Vince was trying to do whatever he could to keep Bret but with a lower paying contract as well, so keeping the title on him would have helped try to convince Bret to stay.

Not everyone was at every house shows, but I would never doubt Bret sending fans home happy. Arguably, his best year was his last in WWF in 97. Not to mention, the best promo work of his career during his heel run. He was knocking into his 40s and still out performing mostly everyone in the industry not named Shawn Michaels. HBK/Taker/Austin/Bret were in rotation that year for all the big matches and it was Bret who tore it up with Austin & Taker before HBK had his classic with Taker at "Hell in a Cell."
