re: Spinoff thread: Was the Montreal Screwjob a work?

3. The fact Owen stayed. I know Bulldog left, but if someone legitimately did that to my brother, it would be tough for me to work for Vince.

Owen wanted out but Vince refused to let him out of his contract.

Bulldog's contract was about up so they let him go, but having this possibility in mind is why they had HBK beat Bulldog for the Euro title at a UK-only PPV a while before this.

5. The fact multiple wrestlers, including Lawler, Kevin Nash and others, suggest it's a work is telling to me. Lawler was part of the greatest storyline ever with Andy Kauffman and they kept that secret for 20 years.

Wrestlers think EVERYTHING is a work, even if it's a shoot, because the entire business is about bullshitting people to get money.

I wouldn't be surprised if people thought that Lawler quitting in 2001 over the stuff with his then-wife Miss Kitty was a work, even though it was a shoot.
