In a way, Shawn screwed Bret. Goldberg used the Superkick on Bret and that ended his career, and thus, Shawn had the last laugh Because we all know Shawn was the first wrestler to ever use a Superkick for a finisher

I find it interesting that, while a lot of people give HBK a hard time for participating in 'Montreal', nobody seems to give the same hassle to The Fabulous Moolah (screwed Wendi Richter) or Arnold Skaaland (screwed Bob Backlund, to hear Backlund tell it.)

With Backlund, that was a storyline and I don't think he had any ill-will towards Vince. As for Richter, as women's wrestling isn't really talked about a lot, the match with her and Moolah in MSG isn't really a big deal if you talk to some people. I know I don't care all that much about it.

I see, but I could see why no one believed him as he went along with it, even in the post-match interview where he's in the dressing room selling the arm and shoulder and he stayed with Vince 4-5 months after it.

Bret, as leaving champion should have dropped the belt to the top guy, it wasn't as if people would look back and think OMG HBK beat Bret. It was quite conceivable at the time.
