>>11521670bret is a carny raised by carnies.
he made sure dave ran a fake story about what he was offered by bischoff so he could con mcmahon into upping his pay. and it worked. up to that point, bret was the cheapest champion wwf had ever had and he assumed he was getting screwed.
nitro got hot and put vince in a financial situation where he couldnt afford brets contract without cuts. mcmahon wanted to renegotiate, bret didnt want to be made fun of by the boys, vince tells him to leave for wcw. insert wrestling with shadows, which is about bret not wanting to be a loser, but being one anyway.
that's what happened.
