>Oh my God, it's Bret Hart, the hottest star in wrestling in late1997, he's here on Nitro to... Announce that he will referee a match... Between Eric Bischoff and Larry Zbysko...

I know this is a horse that's been beaten to death but what the fuck?

Quoted By:

Eric vs Larry was a literal "Who gets the power, NWO or WCW?" so it was probably built to go "Who would Bret side with/screw over?"

I think they thought this would be a draw, instead of immediately putting him into a title picture or having a dream match like modern debuts. I think Eric really over-estimated how much people cared about WCW vs NWO, especially considering how much people liked the NWO more than lame-ass WCW.

I believe there was something in his contract about not participating in the match.

So why not debut him at Starrcade then?

Remember, Vince told Bret that WCW wouldn't have any clue what to do with him.

And Vince was the one who pushed Bret to sign with WCW. Bret wanted to stay in WWF. He was happy with the mark contract
