He said that there was a meeting with himself/Vince/Michaels and Vince was talking about the dilemma. He went on to say that "He thought Vince was waiting for one of them to suggest a doublecross" and at that point Triple H piped up "Well if he is not willing to do business, perhaps we should do business for him!"

Weirdly, said meeting is shown as a CGI cutscene in one of the WWE2k games in career mode.

He mentions that in his Timeline shoot, I think. He doesn't mention anything else being his idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 19, 2019 I don't know if I believe Cornette came up with the idea, but fuck it. When it comes to something as tired and over-analysed as Montreal, I'll accept Cornette taking credit just for that brilliant story he tells about shitting his pants seeing the finish occur and racing out of the building, only to notice Hebner's car behind him. I've never heard or seen that before and the way it's told and recreated is by far the best part of the Vice documentary. Really made me laugh.

To them, It'll just appear to be one bloke refusing to follow a script to lose a pretend fight to another bloke, so they changed the script without telling the fist petty bloke. Obviously, to those of us that love/d wrestling, it was as shocking and intriguing a moment as we would ever witness during our fandom, but to non fans it's just the latest in a long line of things that make them think wrestling is shit play fighting for kids... This is very true. I watched Wrestling with Shadows a few months ago and my Mrs happened to be in the same room, half listening. She couldn't see what the fuss was all about and, in reality, she had a point didn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Bret felt losing in his home country would affect his drawing power there. Given wins and losses mattered more then, it's probably a fair point. Shawn half suggests/remembers it being HHH's suggestion in that sit down interview he did with Bret and JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he was losing to the Brooklyn Brawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The documentary just confirmed for me one thing, and that’s my slightly irrational dislike of Earl Hebner. Can’t stand him, and I’m not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he was losing to the Brooklyn Brawler. He would have, though! I agree it probably wouldn't have made a whole lot of difference but given his contract I don't think it was an unreasonable stance. Edited April 20, 2019 by hallicks An* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch any of his big matches back, he's uniformly awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
