this part im actually not a 100% sure about
from what ive heard, it was cause bret was leavin for wcw and it would make the wwf look like a bunch of fools for their champion to show up on nitro wit the wf heavyweight champinship
now the only reason im not sure about this is because i read an interview a few days ago where Bret said he didnt wanna lose the belt in Canada and would rather lose it to Shawn at the next PPV which would have been in the US; at first Vince said ok to it, and then the screwjob came. after the screwjob, bret left (i think he asked to be released or something) as well as the Bulldog and Anvil who also asked to be released; Owen wanted to be released but Vince didnt grant him that because he had about 3 years left on his contract and Owen was a kickass heel at that time. this is all according to the interview though, which might have not even been real, but im not sure.

To get a little confusion in here I give my version of the story... lol
Bret´s contract was up after SS97... Legally he could have appeared on Nitro the day after Montreal but Bischoff agreed on Bret appearing on Raw just to drop the title to whomever Vince decided... that was the plan in the first place or at least how Bret wanted it to be because, yea, he didn´t want to lose in Canada (or maybe to Micheals - who knows)... so he said that he´d lose it to anyone.. from the Brooklyn Brawler to Pat Patterson lol.. and yeah the rest is history...

okay let bring something else up involving Bret. Some of yall might know the answer to this.
I remeber a while ago a few year Bret was on MAD TV and he started beating the shit out of a couple of cast members. It seemed pretty real to me because he was talking shit and a couple of the cast looked pretty pisst. Does anyone remeber that and if u do was it real.

Good question... but it´s fake... don´t know how it really started, maybe they had some problems and turned it into an angle... I read once about it but forgot most of it... whatever.. after (?) the initial beatdown William Sasso, who was the victim, came on Nitro and cost Bret the tv title... then a week later they had a match which Bret won... Sasso even appeared on Raw and got stunned by Austin cause he (Sasso) made fun of him.. lol
I try to google for it.. maybe i find the article about the whole story...

^ thanks. I remmber seeing this a long ass time ago and wondering if it was real cus it seemed pretty real. Not knowing bothered me for a long ass time.
The Watcher:
Bret took the job with WCW before SummerSlam '97 cause he was already pissed with the WWF and he was already scheduled to beat Shawn in the match before informing WWF he wouldnt be re-signing his contract .. once Vince learned about it he asked Bret to drop the title to Shawn, Bret said no, and Vince got PISSED, and thought up the screw job
Vince wouldn't let him leave to WCW and keep the title, how would that look.. the WWF champ turning up to WCW to work? no way Vince was gonna let it happen
