Steve/William Regals book was also real interesting and down to earth. Very much about the dark drug side of wrestling though but does make a very interesting read.

in actual fact we will never know if he refused because all sides say something different
the ending was agreed upon well before but in the end only several people knew what was happening and bret wasnt one of them
i believe their is a documentary out called dancing with shadows????or something like that which gives a better understanding but i havent been able to get a copy yet
funny thing about the books i have read is no one has anything good to say about michaels but even tho they dislike hogan and flair they all had great respect for them and their achievements
to come back from a broken neck and do what he did makes you respect flair and yes he was one of the greatest wrestlers but the comment about hitman being champ in the down years is not actually based on him
he carried their european invasion and vince constantly turned to him to help stem the tide and with himself and undertaker held the wwe together until rock and sob turned up
i believe also their is a great read on kurt angle but havent seen it yet has anyone read and what was their opion
we stand as one
we fight as one
we win and lose as one

Wrestling with Shadows. It is a good doco but it is more sympathetic to the Hitman, but it does give a fairly good account of what happened, also there is another one which will be out soon which is wwe produced, with Jr interviewing brett and shawn at the same time about the incident, so hopefully that shows and they say what really happend and it puts it to rest.

I have read Kurts book and it is very good but was written fairly early in his career and much of the book is about the gold medal and the training for it. Still a good read.

So we have had the Go Home RAW before Night of Champions- the PPV where all titles are defended.

Zero build as yet for an IC or US title match though... :?

It has been well documented what happened. Bret refused to lose in Canada, so Vince ended the match many minutes earlier than it was 'planned' to. Only Vince, Shawn, the ref and one or 2 agents knew it was going to happen.

Watched a doco about it, which had behind the scenes stuff (actual footage of Bret decking Vince), and it was either Patterson or Brisco (the on screen goons) that was aware, whichever one was rushing Michaels to the back...

I didnt think there was actual footage of the punch itself. Do you know what the doco was called?

There's no footage of the punch, only of Vince limping out of the room. It's called Wrestling With Shadows.

From RAW:

CM Punk delivered his second best promo, calling himself "Phil Brooks" and HHH "Paul Levesque".

Cody Rhodes beat Randy Orton (albeit through a distraction).

John Cena and Bret Hart def Alberto del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez... Yes, that match actually happened.

i think hhh was better then cm last night imo... im looking forward to there match at NOC, triple h would to be up there as one of the in ring performers of all time and cm punk is very good too... so it should be a beauty... id like to see triple h go back to old ways. i reckon he was one of the best heels of all time... on the other hand it would be interesting to see who would take over hhh if he loses...
