hbk bret hart dvd

WWE is reportedly planning a DVD on the Montreal Screwjob. Jim Ross announced that he did an interview with Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart for several hours today for a DVD set to be released in October.

The DVD is said to focus on the Survivor Series '97 incident and the problems between the two Attitude-era stars.

I would highly doubt that. How would they have got his buy-in otherwise?

im more hoping they don't trash him but knowing wwe there probably edit half of it to make him look bad behind his back.

If this is a genuine look and not just a one sided WWE slant on things then I'd look forward to watching it

It will blatently be a 'WWE version' of the screwjob. I cant see it being an open and honest account of events.

I'm not so sure that they will trash Bret. I think that so much is known about the screwjob now that any attempts to railroad it into 'the WWE was right' territory would be hollow.

I also imagine they wouldn't want to irritate Bret any further, and the fact he remains on the fringes making sporadic appearances perhaps shows that they want to keep him around in such a role.

Add to this that Shawn Michaels is now retired, and he can talk openly and frankly about what went on. I think this is perhaps the only opportunity to get all sides of the story and all truths out there at once.

Apparently the DVD is not specifically about the Montreal screwjob. It's about HBK and Bret Hart, their matches and their fueds - on screen and behind the curtain.

Just read that mate, its about their entire rivalry from their matches with Rockers/Hart Foundation to the first WWF Ladder match right through to Montreal, its a very storied history, a DVD i might consider buying

If the DvD contains the footage of Bret punching Vince, it'll be worth the £££

Id be interested to see it, though I don't believe the new reasoning that they admit it was a "work" all along. I think Bret and Shawn buried the hatchet and it was the best way to get every to shut up about it. It's been 14 years and still people talk about it all the time, as if it's the only thing either of them have done in their careers, it was better for them just to agree to kill the legend.
Surely if it was fake Bret would of admitted it in his autobiography when he was barely mobile just after his heart attack because at that point any kind of return to the WWE seemed a million miles away.

A full review of their rivalry would be excellent, rather than just ss97. I always look back at that with disappointment, even if the screwjob didn't go ahead and the agreed Dq finish did, what a terrible pay off that would have been after all the '18 months in the making, one off match' build up. I feel that fact has been lost.

No-one said it was a work, Bret never had a heart attack either bud

On June 24, 2002, Bret Hart suffered a stroke after hitting his head in a bicycle accident when Hart hit a pothole. He flew over the handlebars of the bike, and landed on the back of his head. Hart suffered total paralysis on his left side, which required months of physical therapy. You might want to check up on that.

A stroke isn't a heart attack.

This should be a great dvd i'm looking forward to its release immensely... The greatest rivalry i've seen in my 20 years watching wrestling.

They could make this into a series with other dvd's such as:

Austin - Rock
nWo - WCW
Flair - Steamboat
Hogan - Andre

I like the sound of the first two but Flair/Steamboat could get repetative and while Hogan/Andre would be an interesting bio a DVD based around there in-ring work sounds horrifying

Yeah, I know all that, he didn't have a heart attack though, still I'd never even heard of him until WrestleMania last year

Your 28, where were you in the 80's and 90's?
Surely Scotland had sky tv just like Wales?

No man we still live in Caves and where Kilts up here, every now and then we get let into the wild to try out electricity, it'll never catch on...

I wasnt trying to be sarcastic, but surely you must of been around during the boom years, I just dont understand how anyone could of missed them, it's all anyone talked about. It was a fad for just about everyone from 89-92, it's like asking who Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles are!

I think gaffer was being sarcastic.

Who are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
