The WWE’s release of a Bret Hart triple DVD might be another opportunity to reflect on the Hitman’s role in the Monday Night Wars, along with his dramatic defection from the then-WWF and the prior “just ring the damn bell” screw-job defeat to Shawn Michaels in Montreal, perhaps the most controversial single incident in the sport’s recent history.
Certainly, all of the above have been reported on and debated to death over the years, but generally not in mainstream places like the New York Daily News. At the very least, even if you’re presuming the readers are well versed in the details surrounding Hart’s volatile relationship with Vince McMahon, a natural question for the former might be “what are your thoughts surrounding the WWE’s new drug testing policy?”.
The Slammer (above), however, isn’t just your average reporter.
This great stocking stuffer (don’t forget to get one for yourself) gives young and old alike the chance to remember Bret as he was, is and will be!
Are you trying to tell me that “the Montreal screw-job” is/was/ever will be more controversial than when Sting and Robocop joined forces?
The NYDN Slammer has nothing on The Trentonian’s weekly wrestling columnist, The Trenton Strangler.
Here’s a sample of the Strangler’s work: http://www.trentonian.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=6605839&BRD=1697&PAG=461&dept_id=178120&rfi=8
(Sadly, the Strangler’s recent work is not available on the Trentonian’s web site, just in print.)
Where has the Strangler been?
He’s not been in the Trentonian,
I miss his colum
