Yeah, He just kept it Respectful with Him, but of course Shawn was a Crybaby, and Bret seen that that Night as well. LOL So He just said "Great Match Shawn" to His Crying Face. LOL
@@markeric3364 i appreciate another stance on this other than my own. but i just can't see how you think that adds up, that it justifies it at all. The second that match was over, Vince or someone could've held on to the title until after Monday. Bischoff wasn't there, Bret was. Bret held that company on his back after these steroid trials were going on. WWF wanted the controversy and the attention that comes with. They wanted to up their shock factor game, they wanted to make it look like, more than ever, that ANYTHING could happen in the WWF. it was a middle finger to both bischoff and WCW and a way to take away from any kind of immediate impact or debut that Hart being signed would have made and they did it at the expense of Hart.
Honestly the way Brisco says "c'mon" when Bret calls him a son of a bitch suggesting he could take on a prime Bret is a bit of a stretch. Excuse the pun. I think a prime Bret would have kicked old man Brisco's ass.
Bret was 40 and just wrestled for over an hour, Brisco was 51 at the time this happened. Brisco would've took Bret down with a single leg or double leg and kept him down until he had help further restraining him without injuring him. It would've been as simple as that. Brisco was still young enough to protect himself and and I think given the circumstances he wouldn't have had much issue in that moment.
After being loyal to the company for 14 years, never leaving him for the competition when the other big stars did, and had creative control over his final days
Actually it would have never happened to Brisco as he knew the business was a work and not a mark for himself. Not a dig on Bret, really, but Brisco is one of the most respected men to ever get in the ring.
@@trademarktraining it wasn't a case of Bret being a mark for himself though it was due to his heat with Shawn. If Shawn had not said that he "cant say the same" for Bret when Bret tried to Bury the hatchet before SS '97 and said Shawn was safe with him then Bret would not have refused to put him over...and I bet you would be hard pressed to find any wrestler who was champion and would be happy putting somebody over who had just told them they can't say that they will give them the same respect and safety that has just been offered to them...this "because Bret is a mark" reasoning for the screwjob happening is the narrative that Vince and the WWF pushed after it had happened. They skip the part about the screwjob happening because Shawn was the biggest prick in the world back then lol
@@acidmack1041 No argument from me about Shawn. I personally think he is overrated. But still, owner of the company say drop the strap you drop it. No good guys in this story, just a bunch of gray areas imo.
I love the Eric Bischoff interview where he says that Bret really believes he’s a superhero to Canada. For such a pro wrestling traditionalist Bret wouldn’t drop the strap when he was leaving the company (one of the games oldest rules). Guess the rules don’t apply to a superhero.
Brisco will ALWAYS earn my respect to when it was revealed that he put Triple H in his place when Trips in a production meeting said that Kurt Angle wasn't tough. Brisco stood up & said "Ok I'll tell you what? You get your ass up & tell him what you said & get into a shoot & when he gets done you come tell me he's not tough!!!"
Bret screwed Bret🤷🏻♂️. His dad was a promoter so Bret knows the rule. If he didn’t want to drop the belt to Shawn he should have lost his smile and went home to avoid doing the job.
@@bradysmotivationalandwrest8253 when you leave a company you drop the belt. Bret screwed Bret by not being willing to do business. He was leaving. He was told to put over Shawn. Doesn’t matter if he likes the guy or not.
@@MatsThyWit yes Bret went to do the dvd in 2005, and the hall of fame in 06, but brisco said in 06 completely wanted to avoid Bret until next time. The next time was the raw when Bret and Shawn shock hands, and that’s the day brisco forgot, which was the Jan raw of2010.
Ummm,,,no. Gerry Brisco was a legitimate amateur NCAA wrestler, at Oklahoma State, which was and is one of the strongest wrestling programs in the US. While Bret did some amateur wrestling, he never faced anywhere near the level of competition that Gerry did.
Gerald Brisco wouldve tore Bret to pieces. Bret had some amateur wrestling, but not at a high level. Brisco was a stand out amateur at one of the best NCAA wrestling programs in the country. There’s a short on “WWF stories” where Stu comes in and chokes out Bret like 10 times and Bret couldn’t anything about it.;
StuUngar: Bret had qualified to represent his country in amateur wrestling for the commonwealth games. Ken shamrock has said in various interviews that Bret was a dangerous shooter and that he was surprised how good he was with shoot holds. Bret could have eaten that McMahon lackey for breakfast and shit him out the next day.
William Robinson: Bret had qualified for the commonwealth games and was going to represent his country. Ken shamrock vouches for Bret Hart’s shoot credentials and called him a dangerous shooter. He trained with badasses in the dungeon like Bad news brown and many others. His father was legit one of the toughest guys in wrestling. It wouldn’t have been a fair fight mate. Bret would have slaughtered a prime Brisco or the old fart Brisco.
@@GrappleVision podcasts with no resources have better sound quality. This happens with most of Conrad’s projects. The content is great. The sound is garbage.
That was only one factor. But one of the main thing, and one Bret doesn’t seem to consider; is that WWF(E) can’t have their champion just forfeit the biggest title in the company to go to the compete for Rival company. Bret didn’t need the actual belt to tout that in promos for WCW, which Bischoff would have certainly had Bret do. And it’s on Wrestling with Shadows that is what Bret wanted to do. Simply forfeit the WWF(E) on his way to compete for their biggest rival. Did the screw job need to happen. No but what did need to happen is Bret had to drop the title to someone, somewhere in his way out. It’s the fault of both sides for not coming up with something. Bret once said, he’d drop it to Austin. They wanted Austin to chase and win it at mainia. But Bret’s biggest fault, and you see this countless times through out his career, he couldn’t see big picture but only Brets picture. IE Undertaker once having to tell him “not everything is about you”
I don’t think at the time Montreal went down Jerry could beat up Bret, it’s possible but not likely. Briscoe is tough like Harley Race but Bret reminds me of Bob Backlund.
@@mikescott8903 Backlund is the real deal. There are interviews on here with Rick Martel who tells some good Backlund stories about guys who tried to test him like King Kong Mosca.
The day they lost Bret is the day they lost their product. Yea it was good for awhile now it's one giant piece of sh#t and has been for the past 5 years. No new talent created and storylines are a pile of 💩 Bret would have created Superstars especially behind the scenes
@@inutero10 I 100% agree with you. Bret was an amazing story teller in the ring. I love going back and watching his matches, but the guy absolutely was a mark for himself.

Long ago Bret said that Evil Doink was one of the Best characters in a long long time and Vince made him a pile of crap. Now 30 years later everyone is like evil doink could have been so much more could have been really dark like the joker..... really.....

You can't leave anything up to chance especially when you're a billion dollar company and the name involved on the other end is Eric Bischoff.
