I found a bunch of tweets from Arda Ocal who is at the Shooting Straight panel with Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Jerry the King Lawler tonight. Here are some highlights from Arda's twitter (@arda_ocal), :
Time for Shooting Straight Panel #1: Montreal Screwjob. Bret/HBK shake hands. Jerry Lawler is sitting between them w Michael Cole hosting
"So Bret, let's open some old wounds here... spoken like a true journalist" - @michaelcole #win #MTLScrewjobPanel
Bret: Felt like John Cena does today in mid 90s, people feeling sick of him and looking for next "torch bearer" #MTLScrewjobPanel
How their heat began: Bret made a big deal about Shawn posing in Playgirl, Shawn wasn't too happy how far Bret took it.
Would Bret have brought WWE title to WCW? He says lawsuits stemming from Alundra Blayze incident made that not doable. #MTLScrewjobPanel
Moment where "it hit the fan": when first found out about SS97 match - Bret: "I'll be professional w you" Shawn: "I won't be the same w you"
Lawler: "Back then I never used to want to go to production meetings, they were so boring" Cole: "You still don't go"
Shawn on Bret's spit in Vince's eye: "it was a good shot!" Bret: "I was always a good spitter" #MTLScrewjobPanel
Despite being at odds at the time, Bret says he and Shawn were friends once upon a time and truly didn't know at first if he was in on it.
Ever the ribber where no situation is exempt, British Bulldog stole Bret's towel while Bret was showering after the match.
Shawn wanted to tell Undertaker exactly what happened. Taker walked up to him, shook his hand and said "we're cool".
Bret didn't "do the honours" for Shawn because Shawn said he wouldn't put him over. Said if Shawn put him over first, he would have done it.
Bret says @kiddwwe @natbynature and @harrysmith are the reason he and HBK buried the hatchet. #MTLScrewjobPanel
Bret: he watched Shawn vs Taker at WM25, was so impressed. It rekindled his love of wrestling. Made him wanna rekindle. #MTLScrewjobPanel
Bret: Wrestling With Shadows doc actually wrapped in Sep 97 but needed an ending. Bret suggested his last WWE match. #MTLScrewjobPanel
Bret: he wanted to take the wire off before closed door meeting with Vince but "Shadows" director told him to keep it on. #MTLScrewjobPanel
Panel is over - if it were up to me, these would be a staple before every WWE Pay Per View event, let alone Fan Axxess.
