Just finished watching some classic promo's from the Bret Hart vs Stone Cold feud, when Bret goes off on one and pushes Vince to the mat. Then fast forward to just before Summerslam 97 when Vince announces HBK as the guest referee for the Undertaker/Bret title match and Bret storms out, slaps the headset off Vince and gets into a tussle with him. Now I remember this when it happened but thought no more about it at the time but seeing that old footage, I wonder if there was ever a plan for a Vince vs Bret feud? Possibly as a way to get Bret back as a face as he was playing the anti-american gimmick at that time. Also back then things used to be booked 6 months or so in advance. Obviously it didn't go down cause of Montreal but could it have it replaced Austin vs McMahon if Bret had stayed?

Vince didn't get much heat before montreal, the whole Bret screwed Bret thing was what made him a monster heel so I don't think a feud with Vince would have been enough to get Bret over after insulting America for several months.

There was no idea for a feud. They just were trying to get Bret heat by slapping around an announcer.

When did people actually start realising that the commentator Vince Mcmahon actually runs the whole damn company! I dropped out of watching wrestling from around early 94 - early 99. Being a little kid, the kayfabe announcer Vince mcmahon seemed to work on me and I thought jack tunney was the real boss.
When did fans start realising that vince ran the show?

Right around the Bret Hart think,when Bret was playing the anti-american angle |
