Grilling JR  

“Losing Bret would have been a big hit on the live events… Bret was always that staple that drew houses. He was big on the live event tours and sold tickets and made money for the company.” Bret haters need to make up new narratives. The facts don’t care about your feelings.

JR is hilarious this episode

“AWWWW WHATAMANUEVER!!!

“She had the it factor you can’t manufacture“ Sorry JR, but her whole body is “manufactured.” 🤣

Bre hart was biggest draw from 1992-1997. period. He was the top WWF main wrestler his over sea's fan base was not on same planet as others! Bret was always a great wrestler but he got better on mic starting at end of 1995

I could listen to this man talk bout old school wrestling all effing day

Audio cut out right when Conrad asks if Vince does better with competition. Anyone else have that issue?

Bret was the Michael Jordan in the Wrestling Business!

Major pop for the goosebumps reference by jr, thought I was the only one who stopped reading after those. That is awesome

Man Bret just made everything feel real! - Where the F is that now adays ?

Loved this episode! 👍👍

Objectively, All Out was an excellent PPV. Not the best ever, but better than 90% of PPVs. The Big Show/QT match was the only thing that wasn't good on the show.

Eric's personal animosity towards Hart makes any thing he says about the contract doubtful.

More audio trouble!?

There wasn’t a Raw on the 12th of October in 1996 though 🤔

The latest there is the latest that was and the latest that there ever will be

Not counting the Save with Conrad intro it only took JR 3 mins to tangent off and manifest imaginary haters 🤣

1:24:09 😂

BOOMER SOONER BAY BAY

Damn, Vince must have been going nuts over Helmsley's promo. Hardly nothing but pronouns.

Please if there isn't already can we get a shirt that says "I didn't say that you dumb fucks"

You can't even do a watch along with all the ads. Really annoying!

Phony promo and a setup for the ultimate work the Montreal Screwjob. 1. Documentary about a guy most Americans had no idea who he was is suspicious. I wasn't watching WWF in 96 but I can assure you Hart was not so big you just knew who he was anyways. 2. What was "Wrestling with Shadows" going to be about anyways? a) Hart staying with WWF - waste of a movie b) Hart leaving to WCW over raunchy WWF- pretty lame c) What the documentary actually is one guy dancing back and forth between companies, his hate of HBK, and getting screwed because of his refusal to drop the belt to HBK...how lucky for that poor documentarian who until that point had a boring documentary 3. VKM forgets Hart has a documentary crew at Survivor Series? 4. VKM forgets to tell Dunn to have something to switch to just in case? In fact I am sure there has always been a "just in case" promo or "technical difficulties" rather than zooming in on a wrestler being screwed, spitting on the boss, and finger singing WCW. 5. Hart mentions the contract did have movie tie-ins. So where are they? In fact if he loved TV and movies so bad how come he didn't go do them? SCSA was in more relevant TV shows a year later. Rock was in even more at his peak and that was merely as a wrestler. Hart's wanting to go to film seems like a lie because I'm sure he could do more than a few shitty shows no one has ever heard of minus the crappy Lonesome Dove prequel no one wanted and the Simpsons 6. If Montreal was for real then it was insanely lucky that Bret decided to have a documentarian there and that WWF let them have so much film? I heard Paul Jay, the director, claim that VKM threatened to sue Paul Jay over releasing "Wrestling with Shadows". Jay claims Turner agreed to pay all legal fees and back the lawsuit IF Turner could distribute the film. Allegedly VKM backed down as long as Turner never got the rights. Is there any proof of this agreement? Surely it was more than a verbal contract? Turner had enough money to bury VKM, a lengthy lawsuit alone would have drained WWF even more and of course Turner could have buried him with CNN since that would have been a "real" story then. 7. Unless you are a sad smark with more money than brains, Meltzer, or Apter if you were a pre-teen, teen, or adult in 96-98 and were not watching WWF you likely had no idea who Bret Hart or HBK were. The ratings war bear that out, the success when they both leave bear it out, WWF profits bear it out. So do you think two middle aged wrestlers who are pissed off the kids don't like them might pull off the ultimate kayfabe just to make a point in the end that one day they can say they pulled the wool over everyone's eyes? 8. How many in the Kliq said it's a work? Everyone but HBK? How many wrestlers say it's a work? About 50/50?

Love Bret, but this promo is fucking awful.

Who is this they he is always talking about?he must be a conspiracy theorist oh he is being j.r.

Forte Wayne, isn't worth seeing again

Vince was sooo bad on commentary lol

Bret hart was just as bad as joe biden on the mic 😆😆😆💯💯
