@mattb63694 жыл бұрын
@@theceng That is correct, with the estimated output that he would make roughly 9 million by the end of his three year contract. WCW's problem is they literally had no idea what to do with him, what's crazy is when Shawn considered jumping pre-injury/pre-screwjob because he missed his friends, Vince warned him of the same fate and sure enough that happened to Bret. Literally up to his chest-plate promo a year and a half after jumping, the company did nothing with him besides make the US title look relevant by putting it on him. It's a true shame because of how much momentum and fan support Hart had post-screwjob, I actually thought his first couple months were handled pretty well considering all the depressing baggage he left behind and a hand injury from punching Vince. The Starrcade referee angle worked well for Bret (not so much for Stinger due to the Hogan/Patrick politics) because he was limited in what he could do and the company elevated him right into the main event scene, serving a sequel to Montreal while providing a powerful climax to an 18 month saga, then a month later his first match on a payperview he beat Ric Flair. Sadly from there until the chestplate promo he was undoubtedly screwed, then with understandable reasons he needed time off after the loss of his brother at the height of an intense angle with Goldberg, when he did come back into the World title scene that damn head injury Goldberg caused sadly cut his career short. Bret did what he could in his last year post-January without anymore matches or taking any bumps, it's a shame his run there had to end as abysmally as the initial year and a half.

The best thing about Ernest "The Cat" Miller was how WWE created the "Somebody Better Call My Mama" song for him. I've heard that the Signature Sounds: the Music of WWE documentary from back in March of 2014 (available on the WWE Network) tried to claim that the song was created for Brodus Clay's Funkasaurus gimmick. But anyone can look back on the WWE Network (specifically a dance break segment in 2004 Royal Rumble match) to see that Miller was using the theme almost a decade before Brodus. This may be off topic, but you mentioned Ernest Miller, so I had to toss this factoid in. Also, wasn't Miller a karate instructor for Eric Bischoff's son? I swear I heard that's how he got into WCW.
