Nash and Hall both said there was an offer. Bret said there was an offer not to mention Biscoff admitted to meeting with Bret twice including the first meeting in LA.
Also, if there was never an offer made, where did Bret come up with the $9mil/3 year contract IN 1996? Which was basically (a tad higher) the contract Bret got in 1997 he Vince renegged on the 20 year contract which led to Bret signing with WCW?
While Bret Hart was, and still is, one of the most bitter wrestlers in the history of pro wrestling, everything he stated about the Montreal Screwjob and the incidences leading up to it has all been proven true over time. Face to face with Shawn, he admitted that he told Bret to his face that he would never return the favor (of losing) even if Bret was willing to lose to him first which was the catalyst for the eventual Montreal Screwjob.
