Just watched the HBK DVD (great DVD by the way) and I got to thinking about the whole situation where Bret thought HBK faked his knee injury so he wouldnt have to drop to WWF Title to him at WM 13. But Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble that year, before thet even knew HBK was hurt. So if the plan was for HBK vs Bret II, how were they going to get Bret in the main event? Beat Austin at the In Your House in February for the title shot and have him go in as a full fledged heel?

The Rumble was tainted so the final four match was set up before the Title was dropped and it was going to be the winner of the final four match got towrestle the champion at Mania... Thus Bret wins the final four and HBK retains the belt so the main event would have been bret vs HBK
but if we didnt hgave HBK lose his smile Taker would have had to wait even longer for a title reign he deserved and we would have never seen the great Bret vs Stone Cold I quit match

The way I understand it is this:
HBK won the title at Royal Rumble '97 from Sid and Austin won the Royal Rumble match in a controversial decision. Austin was never going to headline Wrestlemania 13 - in the Final Four PPV before Wrestlemania 13, Bret Hart would have won the match to go onto face HBK at Wrestlemania. When HBK vacated the title, the plans were then changed to just give the title to the winner of hte Final Four match - which would up being Bret anyway. Then, you would have had Undertaker vs. Vader likely in a non-title match, Austin vs. Sycho Sid, and LOD vs. Owen/ Bulldog for the tag titles. HBK vacating the title basically put a wrench into all of the plans because they had to shuffle everything around.
It wound up being the best thing that could have happened at the time. Bret turned into a full-fledged heel, Austin got a monster push, and Undertaker got his first title reign.

Is the Myth about the Iron man match true, that HBK said to Bret at the end "Get the fu(K outta my ring!!" addind fuel to the real life fued? apparently you see him say it, but ive never seen it.

if you watch the match HBK whispers to Earl Hebner. Earl goes to Jose and my guess tells him to leave then tells brett. Now as far as get the out of my ring I doubt that. More likely "tell them to leave the ring or I want the ring" its a time honor tradtion for the loser to leave the ring so the winner can have it to himself to celebrate. Brett's just an bunghole who couldn't stand what hbk was about. not to say HBk was sinless but Brett was just jelous cause he didn't win. Don't forget this was the first mach HBK won over Brett over a long time of matches so he was due. 'nuff said |

^^ agree man
i love HBK more than Bret. but i respect both individuals.
if you look back at all the matches they had, HBK always jobbed it to Hart. IMO i believe it was time for the tables to turn. it was HBK's moment of glory. i would of honestly liked to see both men shake hands, hug and Bret just leaves the spot light on Shawn but both men just have egos.

since my post was deleted...
michaels is a bitch, and i'm sure he said that to bret. bret made himself look like crap for hbk at wm12, he deserved the favor returned.
michaels had only jobbed at house shows and at survivor series 92 to bret, to whoever said hbk 'always jobbed'.
