>>6285095Why? HBK and the screwjob are really the only reason Bret Hart is still a recognized name past 1997. Bret was always a boring champion. He should send Shawn a gift basket every November 9th, because if the screwjob never happened, the only people that would still talk about him are internet faggots that Meltzer deceived in to thinking workrate is the end-all be-all, and 30-something Canadians vaguely remembering him from their childhoods.
Bret's relevance would had ended right there on November 9th 1997. There would be no epic returns on Raw to confront HBK after 12 years, no countless hours of interviews and programs about Survivor Series 1997, and he would have had an even worse WCW spot because no one would have given a shit about him.
