There little to no mention of WCW cept for the part when Bret left the company.
I mean he talks about AWA and WWf being the only games in town. What about the NWA?
Surely they would have embraced the Midnight Rockers, and threw them at Rock and Roll Express and Midnite Express.
His dad mentioned that he was proud that he never left the company. And I know his career was temporarily ended in 98 and he probably only needed to renew his contract probaby 2 or 3 times in 8 years, but surely at some point in 90 - 98 when he took to singles action, he must have at least contemplated leaving every now and then.
In the original Monday Night wars dvd, he talked about how hard it was in the company when there was rumors of bankruptcy, guys jumping ship, lowering his moral. That could have added depth to his stories of his championship stress, or his dickheaded behavior in 97.

Well, to be fair, he did threaten to run down to WCW with Hall and Nash a few times...
But you don't make a DVD to paint a lousy picture of a guy.

I remember in PWI magazine they had a photo of Michaels wearing an NWO shirt. But, since he was world champion & on top of the WWF at the time, why leave for WCW?

But to be fair, don't they touch upon HBK's backstage antics as well? I've only seen clips of the documentary so far, but I do know they discuss The Clique. |

I still maintain that was brilliant strategy. Marks of the guy will buy it because it's the warrior. Smarks will buy it just cause of what a hilarious smear job it is, plus the Warrior's a very unsympathetic person. |

HHH tells a story about how stoned Shawn was backstage on the night of the final Nitro. A lot of guys like Patterson and Ted Dibiase mention that Shawn was hard to work with. But, they also make excuses for how he didn't draw, among other things. I don't think Shawn wanted to go to WCW. It would've severely hurt his career and his ego was too big for him to take a backseat to guys like Hogan, Sting and Goldberg. |

I haven't seen the DVD but in his book, he basically says that he never really wanted to leave, except after the fight with Bret in June '97. He said he wanted to leave and be with Hall/Nash again in WCW but besides that, he said he liked where he was and figured he'd be higher on the card in the WWF

Well to be honest I'm sure every wrestler during the period at least contemplated leaving when there contract was up. I mean they saw how much better WCW was doing at the time and how WCW was throwing money at people while WWF was cutting salaries, of course he contemplated it, as did alot of other people.
They touch on the clique, but they don't really play it off as backstage politics, but more-so a group of friends looking out for eachother in a world where friends are rare.
Also, to my knowledge they don't speak about Shawn Michaels walking out in June 1997, and the he played off him vacanting the WWF Championship title as him actually losing his desire to compete, instead of not wanting to drop the belt to Bret Hart.
