I don't think Bret would have even appeared face to face with Shawn or shaken hands if they didn't make some kind of peace. He wouldn't even show at the HOF unless HBK left the room at WM22. I'm pretty sure the hug was planned because they both looked like they were expecting something to...

It wasn't about Bret taking the belt with him. It was about THE WWF CHAMPION; the top spot, the recogized star, the main man leaving for the competition that's been beating your company by going out on TV saying he couldn't work there anymore and forfeiting the belt. He was leaving to the...

I made a point in another thread about this situation. It all depends if Bret and Shawn worked out their differences and buried the hatchet enough for Bret to tolerate Shawn in the same room, in working terms. I've been wondering if the last frew months of Bret Hart interviews in which he's...

True, but Bret has always praised Shawn's work in the ring, just not as a person outside of the ring work. He's said for years he'd never take anything away from Shawn in the ring, calling him a great and gifted athlete.

I really don't see Bret Hart writing the whole second half of his book based on a lie. I mean, he's old school kayfabe but thats a little overboard. It was a work in the sense that Vince, Shawn, HHH, Earl, and the production guys who ran the music and did the camera work knew what they were...

Along with the Sweet Chin Music observation, it also seems like Shawn hasn't been working on TV lately. He comes out at the end, does some interference, and hits SCM. They do the thing where the gut flutters into the pedigree on purpose, because DX is a team and they want it to look like a...

I don't think it helped because both of those teams were singles stars that were paired together for the sole purpose of making a super team of established power. More often than not they were going to win, and only lose to each other. The actual, young, new tag teams wrestled these guys a few...

I think its done more for tradition and to get at Vince more than anything. Shawn was a little bit more involved then just "doing what he was told." He was on the phone with HHH and Vince when they brought it up to Vince and Vince agreed and told them never to repeat it. I think this Bret...

Change: Punk- it just sounds like generic screamo Finlay- sounds like a Lucky Charms commercial Don't Change: HBK- It's too iconic. Takes me back to my childhood Maryse- Sounds really cool. The lyrics seem kind of edgy for the PG. It's in French, so it fits her. Kozlov- Sounds very...

Maryse's return was the main reason I've been tuning in to raw. She'll show that there's still some life in the divas division. She's has the most charisma of all the divas and probably more than a lot of the male wrestlers. I had it figured out as soon as they started interviewing Melina...

Why would they put The Champ, Shawn Michaels in the dark match of the PPV Buried Alive? How did they explain the champion not wrestling a televised match on a PPV? Did he do guest commentary or an interview or something. That really doesn't make sense. He was coming off a great match with...

Both Michaels and Hart played important roles in Austin's rise. Bret helped Austin in late 1996-early 1997. Michael's was aligned with Austin to win the tag titles in the summer of 1997 which helps anyone get somewhat over. They had a great match at King of the Ring 1997, great interview...

I thought it was great. Vince was a mix of the raspy-voiced boss and the hyperbolic play-by-play man that he used to be in the mid-90s. He played the character similar to his announcing days but still somewhat talked like raspy-voiced heel at some points. Vince was a big part of why Shawn...

The Undertaker doesn't work a heavy load either and he has the Smackdown! world belt. They can give it to Shawn under that same principle. HBK could hold it for a few weeks to a month. It wouldn't hurt the company at all.

You're right about that one. Everyone wants to see Cena lose and look stupid. HBK would look like the hero if he kicked Cena, so thats why he's gotta kick HHH and then act like he only did it for the business, the match, and had nothing to do with their friendship, etc. It causes tweener...
