>>14626273This was a work. There's no logical reason to have not taken the belt off Bret before the ppv. They had several months of this backstage feuding to strip him, do a tournament, let him lose it to anyone but Shawn and then give it to Shawn from there, etc.
Bret also had creative control in his contract, thats an automatic lawsuit that he never filed - yet was soooooo mad at Vince for years. So you hate the guy with a passion, have a contractual agreement that was ignored and don't sue him? Ok.
