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

Bret wouldn't end his WWF career with a defeat at home.
I think he could have just donated the title to Shawn AFTER the match.
But fuck loosing in you own city.

Here's the real story of Bret contract situation with WWE before going to WCW. Bret was under a 20 year contract with the WWE & a year or 2 eariler turned down WCW money to resign with WWE.Then in 1997 Vince told Bret that he couldn't compete with Ted's money & that he could no longer afford Bret. So WWE & Bret decided to parts ways & it was in Bret's contract that he would have creative control of his character in the final 30 days of his contract. Thus one of the reasons he said he didn't want to lose the belt to Shawn in Montreal. Owen was supposed to interfere in that match & get Bret DQed. Bret the next night on Raw would then vacant the title & go to WCW.
So the info the Watcher gave is BS. Don't know why you're talking about SummerSlam 97 when that was the PPV they gave Bret the belt when he defeated the Undertaker.
The Watcher:
yeah, i meant survivor series, don't know why i typed summerslam
