Kanyon: Montreal Was A Work.

[The Goob, phd (is Jobbing)]

Old news, I know. I haven't seen it brought up though.

Kanyon blew the lid off of one of the biggest stories in the history of professional wrestling. For the first time ever, he publicly discussed a casual conversation he had with Bret Hart. You won't BELIEVE what Bret told Chris about the Montreal screwjob! Bret Hart admitted the whole thing, WAS A WORK! Don't believe it? LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW!

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Yup, because of all the people in the world Bret would admit that to (if true) would be Champagne Kanyon

BS

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Of course! [/Bison]

Kanyon was the key all along.

[________ has left the building]

So, is Kanyon being gay a work like Montreal?

[BxB]

"Got atttention ? - Kanyon"

[Schattenjager]

I love how he just kind of throws it out there. "Oh, and by the way, the Montreal Screwjob was a work."

[randomranter]

And this is why the "Real or Work?" question will never truly be answered.

The ones who believe it was real will continue to believe it was real. If someone on the inside comes out and says it was all a work, they'll be dismissed as someone with an axe to grind, looking for attention, making it up, etc. Simply put, their minds are made up -- it was real and no amount of evidence is going to change that opinion.

The same thing goes for those who believe it was a work. Bret, Shawn, and Vince could all come out tomorrow and say the whole thing was 100% real, and the ones who want to believe it was a work will simply say that they're just trying to keep kayfabe alive -- that this is this generation's Kaufman/Lawler. Again, their minds are set on the "fact" that it was all a work, and no amount of evidence is going to change that.

I do believe that there are those beyond Bret, Vince, Shawn/HHH, and the ones who were "in on it" that know the truth one way or the other. I'm sure Bret has talked to family members and close friends who he trusts to keep their mouths shut, and I'm sure Shawn, Vince, HHH, etc. have all done the same. Everyone has friends who they trust with their deepest secrets. But even if those friends come out and say what they were told (whether it was real or a work), there will always be a large chunk of people who will continue to either be skeptical, or outright dismiss their claims as BS.

So was that in the time he was trying to get a new job after announcing he wanted to be the first openly gay wrestler? I smell so much bitterness in this.

Bret:Don't worry Vince the only people who'll know about this is Me,You,Shawn,Hunter,Earl,The Timekeeper and some guy I'll meet in a couple years named Chasm no Kanyon

If people who had been close to Bret at the time knew it was a work, people like Jim Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith, Owen, then the truth would have come out before now. Bret's serious fallings out with his siblings, including the wives of Davey Boy and Anvil, would have caused plenty of careless, vindictive chatter.

If Shawn had known it was a work, then surely he would have to come clean, considering his religous beliefs.

Bret: "It was me Kanyon! It was me all along!"

[Schattenjager]

Th funny thing is that Montreal actually was a work all along; Bret just wasn't cued in on it.

And that "Careless vindictive chatter" would have been written off as the bitter ramblings of a scorned family member with an axe to grind. Similarly, if they said it was real, those who believe it's a work would say "They grew up in a wrestling family, and were raised with the belief that kayfabe must be protected at all times. Of course they're going to say it's real!"

If Shawn had known it was a work, then surely he would have to come clean, considering his religous beliefs.

Nope, not a bit. At most, he'd have had to do so privately and speak only to his priest/pastor/whatever. While many religions require that you publicly accept God, admit you're a sinner, apologize for past transgressions, or whatever, none of them require that you publicly list what those transgressions are.

He may have to say "I've sinned against my co-workers, my friends, my family, and my fans many times in my career." (or whatever the proper religious equivalent of that statement would be). He doesn't have to say what those sins are. Those are between him, those he sinned against, and God.

[mauled]

Just out of interest when does Kanyon say Bret told him and how was it a work and who was in on it and was Vince getting knocked out also part of the work???

[SlimTrip]

If it was a work.. I don't wanna hear about it lol. It would be the greatest work of all-time if it was in fact was a work.

Who better than Kanyon?

[4real]

If it was a work.....why did it take 12 years for Bret Hart to appear on RAW?

[Professor Chaos]

Kanyon's just trying to rekindle his flame with David Arquette. Kanyon was originally cast as Ross on friends's ya know.
