Who is most to blame for Montreal? Let us know in the comments below!

[@pulsarstargrave256]

We're still doing this? As Arn Anderson reminded us recently: "Never jeopardize your career based on the outcome of a match!" 'nuff said?

[@Bernicia295]

I don't know, but I blame whoever keeps uploading these videos with negative clickbait titles for deliberately pushing the 'Bret is bitter' narrative. People aren't even bothering to listen to the interviews anymore but going straight to the comments to start throwing abuse at Bret. It's getting ridiculous. Please stop.

[@hyperchord]

@@Bernicia295 The channel's job is to get clicks. You get clicks by triggering people

[@TheBoosht]

HBK: telling Bret he wouldn't do the honours for him if it was him dropping the title. Too immature and couldn't show some proper respect to Bret. Vince: deciding to cancel Brets 1996 contract. Bad creative for Bret. Bret: Being too headstrong and taking things way too seriously and personal.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

@@TheBoosht Why doesn't Bret just stop answering questions about "The Montreal Screwjob"? "The Screwjob is a dead subject for me now, ask me something else!" Easy.

[@kipdaedricartifact]

Bret Hart’s name is almost immortal at this point, this man won’t be forgotten for a long, long time

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Now yes, but at the time period he was talking about in this clip, McMahon wanted to wipe the name Hart from the WWE. All Bret wanted was to make sure the footage of his matches wasn't lost to the oblivion. At THAT time, he feared that would happen. If people would really LISTEN to Bret's words, and understand.... Bret would not be so misunderstood.

[@kipdaedricartifact]

@@LadyDragonsblood I understood that, just acknowledging the current conclusion of that situation

[@LadyDragonsblood]

[@vishnujani9499]

For all the trolls commenting, the discussion is about how Bret didn't want his DVD set to be called "Screwed: The Bret Hart Story". There's nothing wrong with that and makes perfect sense

[@TeddyKGB12]

Oh boo hoo. WWF flourished after he left. Shawn too. It gave more talented and more popular wrestlers a chance to be in the spotlight. But at least Shawn came back and had a great 2nd run. Bret just had strokes.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@TeddyKGB12 Yeah because Goldfake, a horrible wrestler, kicked him in the head. WWF lost their best technical wrestler, because the boss cheated him. Shawn never carried the company, he lost his smile and ran home to mommy. While Bret healed his paralyzed body.

[@DannyGautama]

I noticed that these are older clips that we have seen.

[@wagsoman]

Bret The Hitman Hart is one of the best wrestlers of his era. His matches were flawless and so believable! But I will day the HOF is a joke for the fact of people who have made it in and then others who haven't. Its based on whatever Vince McMahon wants or who he wants in the HOF! There is no physical building or HOF to remember those who earned the induction. I used to be a huge WWE fan back in the 80s and 90s but it's just not entertainment or wrestlikg for quite a long time.

[@deangelobayley7079]

Bret Hart FURIOUS. he never gets intense enough to have that word in caps

[@thepublichousebrandcom]

Typical click bait. I do like these Inside the Ropes interviews tho.

[@glamgal7106]

Bret had good reason not to want a DVD with the title "Screwed" in his name. He sacrificed so much, including his own health and eventually his career, the latter of course unintentionally. He deserved much more than what was being suggested as peanut sized offerings to him. I've said many times and I'll say it again: To me, the name Bret Hart is synonymous with the word legend.

[@only1icon1801]

4:54 he hit him again 😂❤

[@ThePatcore]

@InsideTheRopes.. Is there someplace to go watch the full interview instead of these snippets? Ive seen a lot of these before, but this one is new to me.. I want to see the full interview.

[@jd9119]

Honestly, The Screwjob was probably the best way for Bret that he could've left WWF. He didn't actually lose or do a job to Shawn Michaels and got all sorts of media hype for the controversy in how they took the belt off him. It was literally the best send off he ever could've had.

[@popeyedoyle6360]

Yeah, accept he went to a company ran by complete dipshits.

[@lcamp1977]

If only WCW could have capitalized on that momentum...

[@Quadster19]

I'm glad Bret is in the HOF. I'd like to see more wrestlers added to the negro section of the fame. Maybe Virgil, Kamala, Bad News Brown or Akeem.

[@br549junior]

Virgil was a clown.& a.duffus

[@LARRYLONGSTRETH]

"We are fighting this corporate giant over the death of your brother, who now left his wife a widow and his kids fatherless. Anything you'd like us to ask for?" "Yeah, see if they can get my footage for me. I want to make sure my legacy remains in tact." I doubt he meant it to sound insensitive, but I definitely can see the pov of any lawyers who don't feel that's an appropriate ask.

[@Magneticlaw]

Apples and oranges, sir.

[@joshuaa1605]

I get it. But what else is he supposed to answer with? Get me some money? There's really nothing bret could've said that didn't seem insensitive.

[@1985JM]

Glad I still have my WWF/E DVD collection as they put out many great documentary’s around 2004/06 featuring Benoit , Eddie , Jake the snake & Bret also the bashing of the ultimate warrior ☹️most will never ever be on streaming due to there content

4:00 for the part about the DVD

[@fmthebaron]

Nice to see Bret crack a smile at the end.

[@jaro4742]

Vince played him perfectly with that DVD set

[@EastlyD]

Brets ego was his biggest flaw

Him leaving WWE and going to WCW is his worst decision ever he should have took a break from wrestling and spent time with his family his situation is about as tragic as Michael j Fox career and Parkinson's disease diagnosis and his decline in health

[@chrisfrancis6486]

I'm a Canadian... I'm a Bret hart mark.... this is the first time I've been upset about his comments about him being angry at Martha's lawyers

[@LadyDragonsblood]

He bent over backwards to help Martha do everything he could to help her get evidence and statements at WWF...all he wanted was for her to include his body of work. She basically spit on him. Owen was the only sibling of Bret's who wasn't jealous of Bret's success. Owen and Bret were extremely close.

[@popeyedoyle6360]

Bro she wanted to own everything Owen for herself.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@popeyedoyle6360 And that is what Bret wanted as well. He just wanted Martha to ask for HIS body of work to be included so it wouldn't get shoved away. It would have been very easy for Martha to do... especially after EVERYTHING Bret did for her to help get a settlement from WWF. This is what I mean, every misunderstands what Bret says.

[@chrislaw9574]

Why is he even asking for such a thing at such a time. Let the woman deal with her affairs.

​@@Tourist-Q.If it's not the dvd it's something else. He's miserable and bitter.

[@Tourist-Q.]

@@YurRedRooster maybe, but this video here is about the DVD. And he's explaining everything in a rational way within sounding bitter or miserable. Listening to this, isn't it possible that Vince is a morbid human? It seems to me like the guy has lost the plot, probably somewhere around the time period of attempting to establish the XFL. Only someone with a combination of greed and megalomania would try to compete with the NFL.

[@Unitenotfight]

Bret vs Owen Summerslam 94, one of the best matches ever. May have been the absolute best if the right guy won. Owen was so much better.

[@bryanmack4054]

Bret got along with Hogan in WCW but I think the “Screwed” interviews are what solidified his disdain for Hogan. Hogan buried Bret , saying he wasn’t one of the boys. That’s why Bret refused to shake Hogans hand at the hall of fame and why Hogan looked pissed Though if I was Bret, I couldn’t imagine going back to WWE after what happened to Owen

[@afdcg]

Technically Hogan was right. Vanilla midgets like Bret Hart, Shawn Michael, Benoit and Eddie Guerrero flopped as WWE champions. People can believe whatever they want, but that's the truth.

[@midwestripppa]

He needs to realize how legendary he is & stop being so bitter. He wasted so many years being upset. It made sense in the beginning but he could be really living to the fullest without even competing. I’m sure that’s what he wants to do though deep down.

[@adamdesanti6713]

This totally fits with that guy's M.O. In 2006, in their eyes, Bret's a washed-up, retired, stroke-fragile loser who they kicked and attempted to ruin on the way out, then were found grossly criminally negligent in the death of his beloved brother. He's nothing to them at this point. But of course, if there's money to be made... right Vince? So he calls him up. "Hey Hitman! Yuk-yuk, got a proposal for you... it was all a WORK see?" Their way of getting his endorsement on their spin. And Bret of course wouldn't whore himself out for a percentage. And with regards to his HoF speech, if you go watch it he pulled it off marvelously, considering he says he was in such a fragile state. It's very from the heart, classy, funny and extensive.

And Vince still had the nerves to blackmail him? Where was the humanity before 2007? Apparently Chris Benoit had to do what he did in order for the WWE to become more human.
