It's kind of disrespectful to call the screwjob his "defining moment", and I imagine that's why they chose the Canadian Stampede from that year. But really, the whole concept of DM is just a marketing thing to get premium figures/accessories out at mass retail. So even though he didn't have the WWF title at CS, he had it throughout the bulk of 1997. And that whole year was pretty defining anyhow. I'd much rather have the belt than not have it just for the sake of it being 100% accurate for a specific event. Same deal for Cena's US title. Same deal for if they would give Edge his Rated R title and his super detailed camo attire, even though he was WHC and not the WWE.

I'm perfectly happy with whatever they want to call this figure, as it's beautiful.

This, Im glad were getting a bret hart figure with the belt. i think cm punk called the winged eagle belt the ' bret hart belt' in a recent magazine interview so it's awesome to finally get a black winged eagle belt. |

maybe you guys should look at this interview the reason they add the belt is because he deserved it to have a title

BUT! the thing is, bret hart DID NOT come out at canadian stampede with the winged eagle world title or a canadian flag lol do you non believers understand the point now.. sure he wore that outfit at Canadian Stampede and most of 97, but that event was the only event he carried a canadian flag and a world titel.. yes he wore the outfit at canadian stampede of course, but im watchin right now and i do NOT see a canadian flag in his hand or world title around his waist.. argue it all ya want but im right and im happy that this bret is more resembling that canadian screw job whether mattel didnt wanna write that on the box or not.. thats what its from. Im not complaining in the slightest bit, just tryin too share some information with ppl i picked up last night that makes a hell of alot of sense

Bret DID NOT have the WWF Championship at Canadian Stampede. Undertaker defended the title against Vader at that PPV.
HOWEVER, it doesn't matter!!!! WE GET BRET WITH THE WINGED EAGLE TITLE! YES!

We get it he did t have those at Canadian Stampede but to be respectful to Bret they called Canadian stampede release instead of MSJ pack. |

Well in fairness to the flag. I think Owen took one on a pole from a fan and walked it to the ring at the beginning of the match and Anvil pulled one out of his jacket and unfolded it. (I say I think for Owen taking it from a fan, because he came out with slammy's, but was walking to the ring with a flag) But you are correct Bret didn't actually have one in his hands at any point during that match.(at least not that was filmed) But there were 2 pretty large Canadian flags in the ring pre-match. ;D |

The MAttel team has already addressed this once before saying he was based off of In Your House 16: Canadian Stampede!!! And people were upset he came with the title cause Taker was Champ at that PPV!! Thy apologized however saying that through this attire he'd become champ and have a memorable run!!!
