So I am confused about Bret Hart. If the Montreal Screw Job was real, and bothered him for years, then the WWE clearly made a mockery out of it last night at Payback and Bret was right in there enjoying every minute of it.
I always said the Montreal Screw Job was a work, and to see Bret Hart go along with the planned finish last night of Natalya being 'screwed' by Charles Robinson in a sharpshooter no less, just makes me believe even more and more that the Montreal Screw Job was indeed the biggest work in the wrestling business of all time.
Wouldn't Bret and Natalya be somewhat offended by that finish?? It just makes what happened to Bret 19 years ago not seem as realistic for Bret to be going along with that.

Yeah it was really weird.. I have no clue why he would go along. Side note, Bret Hart has aged extremely poorly. Vince looks younger than him lol

Why would Vince have a black eye if it was a work? Why would the roster turn their backs on Vince? Why would Bret namedrop WCW on WWF PPV at a time when they were kicking the WWF's ass in terms of ratings?
It was 19 years ago, and Bret has publicly made up with Shawn and Vince. At his age, he probably figured it was best to let it go, sign that legend's contract and get a nice paycheck for an appearance every now and then.

Or maybe...
Bret got over it six years ago and returned to WWE?

I'm more confused by why they even did it. It benefitted no one at all. It was like they were literally just out of ideas on how Charlotte could cheat even though it was so easy for Ric to get involved. At the speed Bret was moving he was no threat to stopping Ric.
The only thing the angle accomplished last night was making Charles Robinson look like a dirty and untrustworthy ref. But we're probably expected to just forget that part.

Kevin Nash makes a lot of good points as to why it could be a work. He said something along the lines of, "Vince doesn't sell 3 years of the federal government, doesn't sell spinal fusion, doesn't sell double quad injury, but sold a punch from one of the boys on film...." Just last night makes the Montreal Screw Job seem really worked. I know Bret forgave WWE, but why go along with that finish??

Vince looks younger than him lol That'd be due to Bret recently having a chunk of his pelvis removed, Bret's bothersome wrist surgery, and Vince's use of hair dye and HGH. I think Bret is over the Screwjob itself. Last night also wasn't a legit Screwjob and it made sense for storyline purposes, given Lil' Naitch was the ref. Things such as this aren't unheard of. Eventually, some rape victims cope with that tragedy with rape jokes or in fewer occurrences, a role played/controlled (by them) rape.

The screw job angle is so played out.

Cringe worthy. I can't believe WWE thought this was a good idea and went with it. And Natalya is too nice. She probably liked the idea.

I loved every second of it. We all knew who was winning that match, but Lil Naitch being on the take was awesome. They probably came up with this ending when Bret started bitching about showing up at Payback earlier in the week

I've always thought the Screw Job was work because it was very coincidental that there was cameras backstage that night and Vince's fear of Bret taking the belt to WCW was stupid because I could never picture him doing something like that.

I laughed tbh. All Bret does is put down the company.

These kind of endings are kinda tiresome even without Montreal.
