I'm posting it here because I don't believe this has much to do with today's WWE etc, but mods move this if you feel it's in the wrong place. If everything about Montreal was reversed (Shawn as champion, going to WCW for big bucks and to reunited with Hall and Nash, hell Survivor Series 1997 in San Antonio), do you think Vince McMahon would still pull a screwjob? Would Bret agree to doing something like that even though he hated Shawn? Would HBK even walk into the match or would he pull some injury? "Vince screwed Shawn" also seems to have a more realistic tone as well  |

Yes, he still would have done it. I think Vince probably trusted Shawn even less than he trusted Bret, and justifiably so.

No, Shawn would have vacated the title before Survivor series. He didn't lose titles when he was under contract, he certainly wouldn't lose on his way out of the door.

I don't think Shawn would have given him prior warning

It would depend if Russo was there to suggest it still.

Shawn at the time could be bought off for a shiny bag of pills in exchange for his mortal soul. So there would be no need.

I'm wondering if he would have Montreal'd Taker if he didn't agree to put Brock over last year.

Still don't understand why they didn't just change the title on a house show. Pretty sure Bret even handed a list of dates he could lose too-
Oh wait, because "I'm Vince McMahon dammit."

He even suggested dropping to Brawler at MSG. Vince got his heart set on Shawn, so Bret acquiesced and said anywhere but Montreal, wasn't good enough, so he got screwed. |
