People have to remember this Wrestlemania 15, the year was 1999, it was held in Philly home of ECW & for Shawn Michaels to get a reaction pop like that just shows how great he truely is.

I miss, as i'm sure many of you do, these moments

@Giampietro131 You make a great point. People insult Shawn by saying he owed Bret a win at WM13, but thats about as counter-productive as a business decision can be. If Vince really had to go to that great of lengths to satisfy Bret's ego, no wonder he let him go. Maybe it wasn't the Kliq holding everybody down. (not to say HBK never did that, but no more than Hart/Hogan/Austin/etc). I like Bret a lot but I've been catching him BS and lie to us A LOT recently and I'm losing respect for him.

Shawn should have been competing that night instead of the Commish thing...how different would those 4 years would have been had he not been injured. Apparently it saved his life so at the end of the day all is good. HHH push to the main event scene was awesome and it may not have happened if Shawn were around.

@Giampietro131 Yes there is more evidence than Bret's word. How many WM's has Shawn missed due to injury, backing out around the time booking decisions are made. Vince put together the Hart foundation again in 1997 and started the anti USA gimmick, trying to build him as a heel. Vince put the belt on Bret months after Wrestlemania. Also look at the crap main event that turned out at WM13, who do you think was going to main event WM if Shawn had not backed out?

[Giampietro131]

@rmathew2 .. was old news. While I believe Bret is without a doubt one of the best of all time, the WWF made out quite fine without him. Vince had no problem paying Shawn and Austin because they were the future. Back to the original argument. There is no backing other than Bret's word, that HBK was supposed to put him over at WM13. So going back and fourth about that is senseless since Bret is the only person who argues this.

[Giampietro131]

@rmathew2 My time period seems dead on accurate. And nobody is disputing the amount of money Bret was making, so I have no idea why your talking about that. Oh, and yes, passing the torch. You must not understand what this means. It's not too much of a complex term. Here's an easier one for you,.. let me dumb it down. You ever hear "this town ain't big enough for the both of us"? Vince had the option to pay Bret, and keep him. Why didn't he? B.c Shawn was tailor made for the upcoming era. Bret..

[rmathew2]

@Giampietro131 You dont make alot of sense, and you seem to be very uninformed about that time period. Vince got rid of Bret because of his contract. If Bret had been making less money, he would not have been kicked out by Vince. Your other comment about "passing the torch" is just stupid, Bret and Shawn had a great rivalry and Bret beating Shawn starts it up again.
