General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

and had come up with a few other ideas, which were ultimately discarded

 

[Chris]

Vince was presented with so many alternatives it's pretty obvious he wanted the controversy and he wasn't actually worried about Bret taking the title like he says lol

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

well I know Cornette was, he didnt wanna do it

Yeah Cornette admitted the whole situation was a fucking shit show, and it's especially surprising he went along with damage control since basically it was his idea that Vince went with to fuck over Bret.

and it worked, to this day you still have people regurgitate Bret screwed Bret.

 

[Comrade Khan]

when at the end of the day, it's a pretty sad breach of trust. I can see why talent were upset like that could happen to them at any time.

 

[Chris]

He indirectly fucked over WCW's biggest PPV ever bc of it too

 

[Chris]

Bc they decided to do some stupid screwjob reference for Bret's debut of course

ideals are nice but not everyone stands by them when they get a pay from it

Oh man, I think 70% of the roster was ready to kill Shawn after it happened IIRC.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I imagine Austin was fucking pissed too, but never said anything publicly. I know Taker, who has always been a businessman first and a loyal Vince guy, basically left the company for a week, then nearly killed Shawn when he came back.

 

[Chris]

Thats why they had Shawn pretend he didn't know for a decade

 

[Chris]

They didn't exactly believe him but he stuck to that for awhile

 

[Comrade Khan]

such a pussy

Tbf, While Cornette was sympathetic to Bret, he also did not agree with Bret wanting to just hand the title on RAW the next night. Like he mentioned, everyone was a bad guy in this.

 

[Comrade Khan]

at least karma got that motherfucker
