Alright. To the best of my memory, the screwjob went like this...
Bret was getting paid a load.
Vince didn't want to pay due to the cable wars with WCW which Bischoff was winning.
Allowed Bret to negotiate with WCW.
Bret agreed to a contract with WCW after clearing it with Vince.
Since he was holding the belt, he offered to drop it, but wanted to drop it on his terms.
Vince was not cool with this as some other stars had taken their belts to WCW and had desecrated them.
Bret understood, but did not want to lose the belt in his home country. Especially to HBK who he hated (the Cliq and Bret did not get along).
He even offered to lose it to the Brooklyn Brawler, a notorious jobber.
He and Vince agreed that he would win in Montreal and lose the belt on RAW.
Vince, along with Shawn, cooked up a scenario behind Bret's back and had the official in the ring end the match.
Bret's hurt vagina has never got over it.
The death of his brother didn't help, but I don't think he blamed Vince.
Owen's death was 100% preventable though.
Anyway, that's the screwjob in a nuts . Mainly from Bret's point of view.
