From the doc (which as stated, was not the whole story), they seemed to try to present every possible angle to Hart and he refused.
So I guess the big deal is who he loses the belt to? I guess they could have scheduled a different PPV match for him to lose the title then and there and he would have agreed? Then maybe this person could have lost it to Michaels the next night on Raw? I don't know.
It just seemed too convenient that there was cameras in the back shooting when Bret was stomping around looking for Vince. And I could easily see Vince taking a legit shot to the face for the black eye to look legit.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

Vince did agree to help him get as much money out of Turner as he could. But for Bret to ask that he retain, and vacate the title on RAW the next day, and then to leave? how fucking unreasonable is that? that just tanks WWF's worth at that time when they were bleeding talent to WCW.

Speaking of the Bret/Shawn/Vince love/hate triangle, have any of you ever heard the demo version of Shawn's entrance theme? Everyone has heard the original version of the theme sung by Sensational Sherri. But the demo? It's sung by none other than McMahon himself. And it's (one of) the most McMahon things ever....

I couldn't believe Michaels became as big as he did. I remember him in the Rockers and was like, meh. Vince apparently loved him.
Oh and that slammy event I believe had EVERY Wrestler singing. Remember Pile Driver? Koko B Ware sung that. I am a real American debuted then? Jimmy Hart was singing too...
I need to rewatch that, lol.0 -

"Heel" Rock was pretty funny last night. "You shut you mouth fatty. The Rock will smack the herpes right off your lip"
There were signs during this promo that he might turn on Roman at Wrestlemania though. We'll see.
