Vito points out that the fight was fairly even, and from there both men were able to work out their problems and actually draw money together in what became one of the greatest storylines in WWE history.
Russo talks about the heat between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Russo says the heat really boiled over between these men when Michaels brought Sunny into the equation. He informs that Sunny was making her way through the WWE locker room at this time and after having a fling with Michaels, she eventually rendezvoused with Hart. Michaels caught wind of this, and even referenced it on an episode of RAW one evening when he was under the influence of some substance.
Russo points out that Hart was in the wrong for cheating on his wife with Sunny, but Michaels should have never brought that up on live television. Vito agrees, pointing out that if Michaels really wanted to make a statement in order to get over on Hart, he should have bettered Hart in the ring or found another way to better him on the mic. Bringing Hart’s personal life into the feud wasn’t the right thing to do.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya later this week for another recap!
