>>6380975>Bret loves "the business" but went into business for himself for not dropping to ShawnThat never happened though. Bret never refused to drop to Shawn, he just refused to drop to Shawn in Canada (because that was his contractual right, Bret had creative control over his own creative direction and was allowed to veto things).
People favor Bret in the Montreal Screwjob because Vince deceived him. He told Bret that he was going over and that they would be dropping the belt the next week. Bret was entirely honest about his intentions from day one, it was just business, but Vince crossed the line.
There's a reason Vince didn't try to take legal action against Bret for knocking him out. Vince knew he was in the wrong. The "Bret screwed Bret" shit was just trying to capitalize on the situation and get ahead of the bad publicity.
