Pretty sure it wasall water under the bridge when he came back a fee years ago. Plus I would bet he got paid rather nicely for last night.

I love pretty much anything Charles Robinson does. He's the GOAT ref. The disgust on his face is glorious.

bad guy™ this should be in the payback thread you unfair Baylee fan FGS let PPV stuff have their own threads. Official threads are long and tiring to read through so I would rather have separate threads for stuff instead of ones with over 100 pages. This isn't the video game section.

When the legit finish happened at Survivor Series 1997, it was a big deal. When they did it again a year later, it was pretty cool. Every time since then, it has meant less and less to the point where I don't care anymore.

It was a garbage idea, and a garbage angle that demeaned the Women's Championship, Charlotte, and Natalya by making it all about Bret Hart, Ric Flair, and a situation that happened almost twenty years ago. Completely horrible.

Lame finish to that match, wasted the efforts of both women. Cesaro/Miz finish was just as bad.

The company is completely obsessed with the Montreal screw job while most fans have basically moved on from it about 10 years ago. All this finish did was expose once again that this company clearly has an issue when it comes to taking their female athletes seriously. They didn't need Dr. Phil. They didn't need a washed up senile Ric Flair, and they didn't need a washed up, whiny, bitchy, miserable Bret Hart. Let the women do what they gotta do and stop throwing all of these men into the mix because you can't let go of your bias.

Where does that leave Natalya now? I know it won't happen, but it seems like it would make sense to finish the feud at extreme rules with a cage match. prevents flair from interfering and they can do have to exit the cage to prevent screwy ref finishes.

Bret seemed checked out during the match.

Bret was probably thinking "When we came up with the screwjob finish in '97 it was cool and edgy and never been done before." Now his baby has been bastardized.

The simple answer is most likely this:
Bret is now a 58 year old stroke and cancer survivor. While he may still be bitter about some things, he has gotten over his hurt feelings for the most part.
Plus, this was a work that was most likely set up weeks ago and had the go-ahead from everyone involved.

this thread is like 18 years too late. bret was parodying the screw job in wcw within a year of being there. it's wrestling, it's a work. bret has clearly made up with vince to some degree.
seeing him be able to laugh at it is a good thing, i think.

What was the goal? Was it supposed to be funny? Was it supposed to be clever? Because it wasn't either of those. Was it supposed to be shocking? Because it was more confusing than shocking. I just don't get it. I don't get what they were trying to do. It seems like someone had a horrible idea that someone else thought was amusing. And then all the dead stars in the sky aligned to ensure one of the stupidest endings in the history of wrestling happened last night.

Why are they making Charlotte into a cheat anyway? She doesn't need to cheat. She's by far the best female performer they have.

That finish just pissed me off the most about that PPV. As if Nattie obviously not winning the title and getting buried for the last 5 years wasn't pointless and stupid enough.
The Screwjob made no sense. It won't have a good/logical pay off if they won't give the belt to Nattie and it doesn't do this revival of the women's title/division any favors.
