"If Bret Hart had access to writing the scripts like HHH he would have one that match... period. Given the freedom to chose between winning and losing, most wrestlers would write themselves in as winners. Now do you understand?"
I know what you mean, and I agree fully that it's Vince's fault first and foremost. The Bret Hart thing was a lot different though, because Bret DID in a small way have access to writing the scripts. Not actually write them like that, but he had a creative control clause in his contract which again Vince was stupid for putting in there, but he did. So take a look at what happened, Bret jobs for Shawn at WM 12, Shawn is supposed to return the job at WM 13. No go because Shawn "I don't lay down for anyone" Michaels pretended he was injured. Shawn and Bret had some bigtime REAL heat with eachother now. Then comes time number 2 where Vince ****es up. He says he can't afford to pay Bret what his contract states anymore, so he should go to WCW (where he would be given more money). Bret doesn't exactly want to go to WCW for more money or not, as he already turned down a WCW contract to stay with WWF for less money. But he ultimately decides to go as Vince cannot pay him anyway, so fast forward to Survivor Series. Bret's still champ and Vince wants the belt off him so he doesn't take the belt to Nitro, which is pretty funny seeing as Bret was the most loyal guy he had and never wanted to leave in the first place. Vince comes up with the bright idea to have Bret job to Michaels once again in Canada nevertheless for the title. Bret says no (and because of his creative control clause, he possibly had every right to say no) and gives other ideas of how to get the belt off him. Vince, the sleazy ****face he is, agrees with one of Bret's ideas and goes on to screw him of course. Now that was a long story of what we all know happened, but... 1. I like defending Bret so
and 2. It's not the same as Bret just wanting to win every match like Triple H apparently does.
*cough* Pretty much I'd just like ot start another "who screwed Bret" debate, but meh. Can never have enough of those.
And in conclusion to this Triple H thing, yes it is Vince's fault for a lot of the problems. But the fact is Triple H should not be the focus and main eventer that he is given that he isn't drawing and he isn't having good matches anymore.
