>Called the Attitude era "Smut" even though people were clamoring for an edgier product for years since 1995 and it was finally given to them starting in 1996 which was New Generation with an edge, but still wasn't enough to compete with WCW so they went full blown edge by late 1997-early 1998 and thus creating the Attitude era. Bret hated it because MUH KIDS AND FAMILIES can't watch it even though kids loved it because of the badass adult oriented characters
>Hated his 1997 run even though it was objectively his best work
>Hated having to call Shawn Michaels a homo and mentioning the magazine in his promo (This was actually Shawn's idea for Bret to do and encouraged Bret to insult him as hard as he could)
>Never once put over Stone Cold clean in a match during their feud
>Said the fans were wrong for wanting to cheer Austin over him
>Harts try to sabotage Austin's run with Owen Hart legitimately hurting Austin's neck (Karma came back on this bitch two years later)
>Refuses to do the honorable thing dropping the title on his way out in a match because MUH CANADA and FANS
>Claimed years later that a screwjob finish would've been fine but at the time in 1997 he shot down every idea that involved him dropping the title in Canada
>Bret Hart leaves, WWF ratings on RAW SKYROCKET from the momentum of the screwjob
>Bret Hart goes to WCW, momentum for WCW starts to go down along with ratings
>Austin goes on to finally become the biggest star months later at WrestleMania and begins feuding with Vince.
