Titus is a good person but eesh... these last few weeks have been absolutely brutal. Dude should probably start planning his next career because I don't think he's sticking around much longer.

Still waiting for my king of wrong style tag but mods don't care about me. THE BRASS RING IS A LIE
I don't think there were any decent solutions. They needed to have the belt for Shawn so he could be a foil against Austin for WM. You can't just randomly give the belt to someone new like Mankind or Shamrock without any build up or storyline. I mean you can do that now. They did that with Owens last night. But the shows were written better back then.

daaaamn
Strip Bret of the title and then have a tournament to crown a new one?
Or the better solution -
Ship HBK to WCW instead of Bret

Didn't Bret say he was willing to drop the belt to Shawn on RAW in Ottawa the next night? I might have that wrong - was Bret entirely against dropping the belt to Shawn or just against Montreal?
Also, what about a battle royal for the title on RAW. Have Hart walk in with the title and say he's done everything he can in WWF and he's ready to move on. It could have been a good moment for Vince and Bret.
My memory is fuzzy but I think he was just against dropping the belt in Montreal specifically to Shawn. I remember him saying he would have dropped it anywhere else. But regardless, Bret was supposed to have creative say in the decision per his contract and McMahon basically violated the deal.
none of that is carny enough tho

Scripts man, he's naturally better than this.

Bret said he was willing to job the title to anyone else the next night on Raw, and was willing to job to Shawn in the US. But not to Shawn in Canada.
That would look real bad for WWF as Bret walked in to WCW.
Like he was going from the minor to the big leagues.
At least with the screwjob we got Mr. Mcmahon out of it. whose angle with Austin potentially saved them.
He said he would have dropped the belt to anyone in Canada except for Shawn.
I think he also said that if they wanted him to drop it to Shawn, he was willing to do it the Monday before when they weren't in Canada.

Coachman just said on Twitter that D.Brine's gonna be on the ESPN segment tomorrow. Wonder what kind of angle is gonna happen tonight.

I remember him even changing his stance on not losing at all in Canada. He flipped flopped too damn much.

Cass has a good boot that's about it
He's gonna come back for a catch as catch can match against Miz.
So let their world champion go undefeated to their competition. Yeah, they could have done that if they were insane. That's the worst craziest possible option.
No way he has been cleared again to wrestle. Even if that last test was faulty there is no way Maroon cleared him.

Will you be the ref?
Bret didn't really want to leave in the first place, Vince was the one who pushed for him to leave because Vince was telling Bret he couldn't afford him any more (which was a lie).
Vince didn't seem that worried about Bret leaving for WCW (both of them basically knew WCW wouldn't know how to book Bret). He was mostly worried about Bret taking the WWF belt with him - which is hilarious considering Bret's respect for the business and Vince had no problem with Flair trotting the Big Gold Belt on WWF TV a few years prior

With his medical records, more like catch as catch CAN'T
nah I know who should be the ref
If big show can get a sumo match Bryan should be allowed to hit a banana split to miz.
I was thinking they could do an empty arena Miz verse Bryan match and use a stunt double and some CGI. It will cost them some money, but in this day and age TV budget CGI is perfectly up to the task. All they need is an indie wrestler that can adequately copy Bryan's wrestling style.
Yeah...YEAH!
This is a level of dumb I can get behind.

Bryan will tease an indie guy coming into take on the Miz.
We'll get hyped for Joe.

Yeah, good point. I guess that situation was fucked, regardless.

Bryan says he's been cleared for one night only, destroys Miz in his suit without taking any bumps, wins the title, and vacates it for a tournament
Or we cut to backstage and see him sobbing into a tub of ice cream as Apollo Crews walks past with a smile as he prepares to take on The Miz
One of the two

Best case scenario: D.Brine/Miz sparks up a hot angle like Triple H did last night
Worst case scenario: D.Brine/Miz in a segment that rivals last night's Heyman/Steph segment for who can spin their wheels the longest

We need this to come full-circle with Styles taking the title. I won't stop being sour until that dude has the WWE title. I liked Ambrose but his ring work is suffering right now and Styles has been on fire since the day after Wrestlemania.
No argument there.

I want Miz to have some jobber come out wearing a Bryan cardboard cut out mask and then go to town on him.

My fear is that they don't want two heel champs. Hell, except for the RAW tag titles everyone holding a title is a heel.
SummerSlam's Ambrose/Ziggler match made me bail on the Ambrose train fucking hard. Ambrose is totally resting on his laurels and getting lazy. Austin was incredibly right to call him out.
I'm still not convinced that Raw wasn't KO and HHH turning face
