Talk:Montreal Screwjob

message: I know because of WP:OR that I can't add this to the discrepancies section, but this is what I can garner from what has been said in the article.
I think we can dismiss Russo in the first part. He has a really bad habit of putting himself over as some sort of booking genius. When it comes to shooting with the truth I prefer to believe Jim Cornette. I'm sure many examples of Russo's behaviour could be found, but getting it into this section is another matter. Additionally, it could well be that both Trips and Brisco had a hand in it - HHH with the original idea, and Brisco with the full arrangement.
The second part is easily explained. Earl already knew when Shawn told him of the final spot and didn't tell him that.
The third part is missing a crucial part, and that was the meeting between Vince and Bret as depicted in Wrestling with Shadows where Bret explained his preferred ending. This had to be after the hotel meeting, so Vince was giving Bret one last chance to provide a way for him to drop the title. So the meeting on the Saturday night was not final. That would have been Patterson's limit on the knowledge (and JR's). He would have known about the idea, but NOT that it was actually going ahead. Vince didn't know that until he spoke to Bret and didn't get what he wanted. Remember also that Brisco wasn't at the hotel meeting, so the carrying out of the screwjob and how to do it also wasn't known at the hotel meeting.SCREWJOB SUCKS
Any thoughts on any possible way to make any changes to reflect this where we can and staying away from a WP:OR violation? 101.160.137.185 (talk) 01:50, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discrepancies 

message: User:*Treker is determined to revert my constructive edits for absolutely no reason, vandalising the article by restoring unsupported nonsense as part of a clear anti-IP, WP:OWN agenda. His "work" involves:
*Reverting to a completely unsupported claim that Michaels and McMahon got "angry responses" anywhere but Canada (actually there's nothing even for Canada, but I let that go).
*Restoring the following unsupported nonsense: "Subsequent WWF shows saw large numbers of fans loudly chanting... holding up pro-Hart signs and booing Michaels, McMahon and others". The given cite supports nothing of the sort.
*Re-adding "It is undoubtedly the most controversial match in the history of the WWF" (I changed "undoubtedly" to "perhaps", which was being kind), which is supported by a primary WWE source!
*Re-adding that Hart was "able to reconcile to a small degree with McMahon". Since there was no cite to mention, I removed the opinionated "small".
*Restoring mention of Hart's "ongoing storyline with McMahon", which ended in early 2010! 2A02:C7F:8E43:2F00:89B6:9948:76C2:BD4 (talk) 19:02, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I made my original post here at 18:59 UTC. The apology came at 19:00, and I didn't get around to reading it until 19:02, after making fixes to my post. Seems the issue is resolved. 2A02:C7F:8E43:2F00:89B6:9948:76C2:BD4 (talk) 19:07, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said. I'm sorry. I made a really bad judgement, I hope everything will go fine from now on. I can be way too aggressive sometimes.*Trekker (talk) 19:10, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
