If you ever doubt Bret and his story, just know Undertaker and Austin both stand behind Bret.

[@bearstown19show]

Undertaker and Steve are Bret's friends

[@layna-heyhey]

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.

[@Redhotshawntexas]

@@layna-heyhey So, the stance of the so-called Locker Room Leader, “Conscience of the WWE,” and probably most universally respected and admired guy in the business who, to top it all off, was there when it all was happening isn’t enough of a source? In that case, I have some oceanfront swamp land to sell you

@@Redhotshawntexas Not what I said. Never said "Not a good enough source". Btw in this video, Bret is the only source. I replied what I did, thinking about the those names mentioned.

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.

Nothing beats 90s wrestling

[@misterslats]

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.

Facts

[@JMohler]

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 🐐.

[@IncredulousMisanthrope]

@@JMohler Mate, with all of this essay you wrote, I thought you'd raise some good points but...apparently that's not the case. You do realise that wrestling is scripted right? 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?

Bret never understood that Vince clearly couldn't stand him and didn't want to deal with him. He says it right here. Vince was happy after he signed. (And if he was the great talent, huge draw, and utter professional that he always claims he was, there's no reason a boss would be happy to see him go)

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

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.

Cornette has given some interviews on the topic and he said what it came down to was that Shawn was the WWF’s biggest money maker at that time and that Vince bent over backwards to give Shawn whatever he asked for. And when he didn’t, Shawn behaved like a spoiled brat.

[@KurtAngle89]

@@scooobydoo27 it's POSSIBLE, but I've also heard that the months of Shawn as a champion were the absolute low financially for WWF in the 90's, sure, WCW started to rival them heavily, but they weren't keeping up

[@scooobydoo27]

@@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.

One thing that impresses me about Bret: For as bitter as he often comes across since he retired (whether it's justified or not) his ability to retain his memories and speak coherently in great detail down to minute things is really good considering he had to retire from concussions AND suffering a stroke. 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)

[@tonyc7301]

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.

[@SpScarletSpider]

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.

The Harts the most inspirational wrestling family ever each with a gold heart and loved by everyone world wide.

[@jacko9179]

Pretty much stopped watching WWF/WWE when Bret left and have never rekindled my taste for it since, Vince McMahon is a sociopath, how many lives have been ruined by his company, disgraceful when you look at the workload, lack of care and facilitation of all kinds of abuses. Bret will always be one of my heroes and deserves all the plaudits and respect in the world.

[@arianagrandefan934]

Jacko same with me. I lost love for wrestling when the screjib happened. And have never got back into it. I did try to. Because I liked stone cold. But I just didn't get the thrill out of it again. Which is a shame as wwf back then is part of my childhood.

[@buddy3635]

Vince is a good example of someone who thinks you don't have to follow ethics to be a good businessperson. He's made billions of the company and has done incredible things for the world of wrestling, but he made a lot of enemies doing it

[@HarshvardhanSaini]

I never understood why the rest of the Hart family distanced themselves from Owen Hart's family, including Bret.

[@Jelly4Do2NUT0]

Probably because it was the other way around.

[@TheMagnificentMongoSlade]

Learn about Martha

[@muralikrishnan7622]

Its cuz of martha

[@Kyush4]

because wrestling killed owen and the hart family are wrestlers, so i guess it brings pain

[@LuisReyes-pb4dt]

Because most of the Hart Family are conniving pieces of trash.They even tried to use Owen's death to get jobs with Mcmahon

Bret always the best

Shawn is and always was a snake. I have mixed feelings about Bret but always respected his work in the ring. Shawn was great in the ring when he wanted to be and only a few were better in those cases. Shawn's politicking and the whole clique aspect was juvenile and was often meant to hurt others and take food off adversaries' table. I will take the side against Shawn in almost every case including the screwjob. We know damn well that Shawn loved Bret getting screwed.

[@FLAMEOHOTMAN15]

Man from nearly everything I’ve heard 90s Shawn was completely different to Shawn when he returned

[@mikes3943]

@@FLAMEOHOTMAN15 That's probaly because he got what he wanted in screwing Bret Hart.

[@SpeccyHorace]

You're absolutely spot on it with that analysis imo.

[@siddhanth3044]

I agree. Shawn to this day sounds like the most insincere pos and Bret always comes off as brutally honest. And I would always prefer an honest prick than a phony.

[@hamiddjebelli6088]

Shawn had great matches as well but it’s crazy how much better brets matches have aged compared to shawns

[@gorilladigits8223]

I’m completely convinced that “the screw job” was and still is a work and that the whole thing was Bret’s idea

[@cathaldowdall7467]

Nailz too .

[@badaboom8843]

tripple H probably talked in vinces ear to get brett off to get his boy shawn to the top

[@swinetrek]

Triple H screwed himself with the curtain call so they went with Brett and Austin.

[@davemac9087]

Brett always thinks that he is the right one though and never wrong.

[@RetiredVet2020]

Because he is telling the truth. It isn’t what he thinks, it’s what actually happened

[@gregfreeman6118]

Bro it’s crazy when you’re so good at what you do, that you’re almost too professional. I understand where Bret comes from because he absolutely loved what he did as I do. It brings massive amounts of jealousy from people who are great but wish they had the generosity that you have for what you do. You cant tame a genuine heart and they wanted him out because of it. He wasn’t with the skinamax wrestling shit and he got pushed out because of that and because he was so professional.

[@jarrethcutestory]

Does anyone know why the Bret had to drop to HBK?
