Hart actually showing rival Shawn Michaels how to place him in his own patented sharpshooter hold. I wasn't about to be beaten in my home country. They tried to humiliate me. Of course the excitement didn't end there. A dustup later in the dressing room left WWF boss Vince McMahon with quite a bump on the head.
Nobody doubts what happened.
What's on trial here is Bret Hart's integrity versus Vince McMahon's. It's a one-sided trial. The irony of McMahon getting hurt is that Hart has never injured another while wrestling in more than 21 years in ring. That's why amongst wrestlers and fans alike, Hart is considered the best there is. The deal to go to the WCW, something which Hart says McMahon asked him to do because of financial duress in the WWF, is quite lucrative and will see Hart have 125 matches a year compared with the 180 he's been used to.
