Bret Hart was a guest on this morning's Opie & Anthony show. I only caught the last 10 minutes of the interview, so I'm not sure how long he had been on before then, but he was talking about the Montreal Screwjob when I tuned in.
Bret talked about how he had spoken to Shawn months prior and told him he had no problem losing the belt to him, but that Shawn flat out told him he would never lose to him. He also mentioned how he had been built up as a Canadian hero during this time and how looking at the situation as a businessman, he felt that his value would drop considerably if he lost in Canada.
He then talked about how he punched Vince after the match at the Survivor Series and how Shawn was in the corner crying the whole time because he was afraid he was going to get killed (he referred to Shawn as a 'coward' several times). He said Vince came in with a few of his lackeys, but that Bret had Jim Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, Rick Rude and The Undertaker there with him. He said he came out of the shower and walked into the dressing room naked because Davey Boy had stolen his towel.
He told Vince that if he was still out there when he finished getting dressed, he was going to punch him. Vince refused to leave, so Bret gave him an uppercut that cause Vince to land awkwardly on his ankle. He said Vince was out cold for about 2 minutes after he punched him. Bret said that punching Vince was "the most beautiful thing I have ever done", and how he felt that Vince deserved it after what he did to him. The interview ended with the talk show hosts promoting the book and thanking Bret for his time.

All I know is that Bret keeps talking about it because people keep asking him. If people stopped bringing it up you would hardly hear anything about it.

Or he could just say "I've moved on from that point in my life, let's talk about something else." But, they are probably asking, because he wrote about it. |

Bret Hart has always annoyed me, What else in his career can he really talk about besides that?
Outside the ring, he seems like a class act and a very nice guy, but in the ring...he was boring as hell.
Same with Ric Flair.

It was Bret Harts fault.
The guy didn't do the proffesional thing and drop the title like he was told too, so he got screwed because Vince was stuck in a situation where Bret could of shown up with the title at Nitro before vacating on RAW.
If Bret just acted professinal and did what the promoter said, he wouldn't of got screwed over, the guys a whiney little bitch, enough said.

Im 50/50 with the situation. Sure Bret should have to drop the title before leaving the company but I think there could have been a much better way to do it. Give it up the next night on raw and have a 4 man tourny for it that night. Or just have him lose it to Shawn on Raw in a rematch or a loser leaves town type thing. It was stated that Vince feared that Bret would take the belt to Nitro the next night and drop it in the trash like Madusa did. Just stick a lackey (Patterson/Briscoe) with him, take the title off his hands as soon as he walks through the curtains at Survivor Series and dont let him touch it again until Raw that night.......Both men were in the wrong...The situation could have and should have been handled much better and more professionally.

Who screwed whom.
And if this is going to turn into a Screwjob Argument Thread, please let me know now.

It is honestly hard to take a side on the whole screwjob thing. All of Bret's claims over the years don't sound plausible, but then again, HBK's dont either. It's really not that important anymore, but I'm still curious to know who the exact truth that happened. The best point of view at this point in my opinion would probably be from Earl Hebner.

Bret is one of the best wrestlers in the history of the business. I am an HBK fan as well. It is a sour note in WWE...wait wrestling history, but things happen. I mean if I was Bret, I would have just stayed in WWE, well he didn't know that WCW would misuse him so badly. I support Bret Hart. I mean I know he lost it, but I probably would have to. And it isn't that hard to imagine Shawn Michaels wimpering in the corner. Bret was pissed off beyond relief that night and he nailed Vince, why wouldn't Shawn be worried if he nailed the boss. I am surprised there is no mention of Hunter being there.

Outside the ring, he seems like a class act and a very nice guy, but in the ring...he was boring as hell. Same with Ric Flair. He could talk about the numerous four-five star matches he's had throughout his 20+ year career. Honestly, I don't care anymore, and he's probably my favorite wrestler of all time. His book made him sound egotistical and he still just sounds bitter about the whole thing. Neither guy really did the right thing as Bret should have dropped the belt like Vince asked, but Vince shouldn't have cheated Bret out of the belt. It's 11 years later though, I'm pretty over it. |

The Screw job debate will never die. People will still talk about it until the end of time.

If Bret just acted professinal and did what the promoter said, he wouldn't of got screwed over, the guys a whiney little bitch, enough said. Bret in the last 30 days, I think it was, had creative control of his character, he had the right, based on his contract to choose what he wanted to to. Honestly, if anyone is to be blamed it's Vince. It's his company afterall. Vince should of sat with both men, and agreed on a solution. Bret has mentioned before he would of had no problems coming out on Raw, forfeiting the belt and walk away. |

Its done and over with. To be honest if he wasn't going to drop the belt someone had to end the match before his contract was up and if he showed up on WCw Nitro witht the belt what would have happened? Do you think WWE would still be around? I don't. Vince did the profesinal thing in this case and did what he needed to do to get what he needed done.
