"Screwed - The Bret Hart Story"

[-Lithium-]

What exactly was WWE gonna put on this DVD in order to bury Bret? What could they say, the fact that he was a company guy and great wrestler for years and wasnt a company guy for ONE night?

I mean I was just thinking, besides him being somewhat of a baby with The Screwjob, what else could they put on there?

Have other established stars like Hogan and HBK trash his in-ring capability, bring up early to mid 90's dropping ratings and pin it on Hart's runs as champion rather than on Nash or Yokozuna, and, yeah, a lot of focus on Montreal, not "honouring the time honoured tradition", his whining afterwards. Maybe Flair would have jumped on board to slam Bret's skills too.

It would protray WWE as being a nice friendly company who did everything they could to help Bret, even when he was stinking out arenas and causing crowds to plummet until the ingrateful git picked up his ball and left for WCW because he didn't want to lose a wrestling match.

["IcePic" Rick Cobos]

"Bret took himself too seriously."

"Bret liked to talk trash to the dirt sheets and then say that he's just working an angle."

"Bret often had extramarital affairs."

"Bret didn't draw a dime as WWE champion."

"Bret says he was a company man, if he really cared about WWE, he would have taken the pay cut from his 20 year contract."

"Bret's overrated. He only knew how to do five moves."

"Bret was too small to ever reach true immortality."

The WWE can basically rewrite history anyway they want.

- They would've claimed that ratings went down when his was the champion. When in reality the business had peaked and was in a down period.

- They would've talked of how sick the fans were of him and they wanted to see Steve Austin and DX.

- The would've mentioned what a failure he was in WCW, when the failure was how WCW booked him.

Ahh yes, the irony of Ric Flair calling somebody else a 'routine man'.
