>>18009282Some may assert that I wrought injustice upon Bret Hart. Bret Hart would most assuredly attest to this. Yet, I behold it from a differing perspective. I declare 'twas not the referee who wronged Bret Hart. The good Shawn Michaels verily did not betray Bret Hart. Nor did Vince McMahon feign Bret Hart disgrace. I stoutly profess that Bret Hart hath betrayed Bret Hart. And lo, he may gaze into the mirror upon his own visage and discern this verity.
I shall bear full accountability for each decision of mine; I have ne'er shunned such a burden. Mine choices are not ever wise, I avow. Yet, when a misdeed doth occur, I am not too proud to utter mine apology and strive to amend thine error as best I may. I pray my batting average doth lean towards the just, for I shape more righteous choices than misguided ones. Concerning the betrayal of Bret Hart, there exists a most hallowed custom within the wrestling realm, whereby when one doth depart, they manifest due reverence to the exalted figures who did forge them a star. One ought to honour the foundation that shaped them into their present selves. This tradition is cherished, yet Bret Hart chose to scorn it.
I confess, I should ne'er have expected such from Bret, who is oft regarded as a traditionalist in our craft. 'Twould ne'er have entered mine thoughts that Bret would forego the decorum fitting for those who uplifted him, nor the institution which crafted him into the persona he be now. I know this to be Bret's own will. Bret hath betrayed Bret.
