this thread has been a really good read,but ther are a couple of things i dont understand1- why did wcw fuck up brets career, is it the goldberg thing?2- the thing in 97 wen vince screwed bret, was this a story line or was it a real thing, bret looked pretty shocked?

It was WrestleMania 12 I believe.this part im actually not a 100% sure aboutfrom 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 champinshipnow 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.
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.
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 jobVince 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
