The Turnbuckle Post Figure Four is done properly by the guy who is on the receiving end of it by him holding onto the foot/ankle of the one executing it so he can easily apply it without smacking his head against the concrete. The Rock did it properly here and Bret doesn't apply it until Rock holds his ankle. It eases the guy to the ground:

>>7918038Because Bret's a grown ass man and didn't owe Shawn Michaels a fucking thing. Bret did business by showing up to the arena, getting dressed into his gear, going out to the ring and doing his job with what he was under the impression of what the finish of the match was. While discussing the predetermined outcome of the match, McMahon agrees that the match will end in Hart's disqualification (making it a draw), and that Hart won't be forced to lose to Michaels, whom he is widely known to personally dislike He didn't throw a bitch fit, he didn't hold Vince up for more money and refuse to go perform if he didn't pay or give him a cushier job like Jake the Snake and Warrior did; Bret had respect for the company that employed him and made him a star for 14 years and for Vince for providing him and his family bread and butter. Regardless of your opinion is on the belts as props, that's not how it was ever presented to the public or paying fanbase nor did it ever cross Bret's mind to regard it like that. From the moment Bret tenured his resignation to the company right up until Survivor Series, he made several attempts to patch things up with Shawn that had Shawn disrespect him againand Vince went through multiple hour phonecalls with both of them to come to a mutual conclusion but ultimately chose Shawn to be the successor because he threw bigger tantrums.
It wasn't about caring who got the belt after he left; it was about being bold-faced lied to by everyone and backstabbed and betrayed on his way out.
