I will do, dont know much about them.

Haha i meant Brets kid, i recon shane could handle it!!

Do you tink it paints him as a victim? i thought it came across quite clearly that he was flawed. Not from Bret.. but in general. The Director didnt have to show the flaws had he wanted to really be one sided.

I mean, the access that was granted, would obviously require a certain degree of bias towards the harts, but, i still tink the director left enough in to allow the viewers to make their own minds up. As we both did.

I don't think Bret decked him in front of his own kids, they were outside with Julie.

Given how film production generally works, i'm sure there's a LOT more footage that they intentionally would have edited out, that they could have left in if they really wanted to make it even sided. I love the bit where he insists that Sunny is "just a friend", If i was trying to defend myself from accusations, i wouldn't quite word it like that. That came across as iffy to me, but Bret has said nothing happens in his book, and Sytch has said in her shoot that nothing happened (although she spilled the beans with Shawn), and that's enough for me.

I still think you should find copies of Heroes Of World Class and Beyond The Mat. Both of which put shadows to shame.

Knew what? What was happening at Montreal?
Yes- he's already admitted to it.

For the record, I loved Wrestling with Shadows- but as discussed, it was far from an unbiased view. Great in terms of seeing things from Bret's perspective, and very well made. But not the overall look at a subject that Heroes of World Class was, as SR talked about.

No reckoning about it, both Shawn and HHH have publically admitted to it a few times since 2002.

My fave question HHH answered a few years ago:

Question: What if the Montreal Screwjob had been reversed?
HHH: That would never have happened, we're not that stupid!

he has? im not gonna claim to know too much about this.. I really know what i know from hearsay and that documentary!!

Shawn admitted to it for the first time on a special of Confidential in the summer of 2002. Once that happened, the floodgates opened and everyone from Vince down to Steve Lombardi claimed to have known from the beginning.

It's in Shawns book that both himself and Hunter knew. They needed to think of a way to do the swerve and then Bret came up with the spot of Shawn using the sharpshooter.

I think the only person they didn't tell was Patterson. Earl Hebner only found out a few minutes beforehand too I think. (Not read Shawns book in a while)

Just a heads up that Bret Hart is doing a signing two weeks from now in Easons on O'Connell street (Dublin).

Can't remember the time but it was a Saturday so should be the 18th.

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-04-2009 1:06am

I missed the last one when he was here so I'll definitely try and make it. Do Easons allow you to get a picture taken at these signings or do they just hurry you along?

innercitydub1 · 04-04-2009 1:14am

Met bret at the last one in the wrestling shop was realy nice

i asked him what ring attire was his favorite and he told me the one from wrestlemania 12 was the best one.

I remember at foleys one it was a case of where you were in the queue.

I was 2nd from the top with KKV at the front and we got about a 4/5 minute chat before security wanted to speed it up for the middle portion of the queue and then slow it down again when the line was nearing the end.

But i cant see as many turning up for bret that turned up that day.

The Easons security are dead cool, not at all like other security, the likes of the old point comes to mind(they were pricks!)..

A while ago my mate was in at an Eddie Jordan signing and i wandered in (not a huge F1 fan but whatever) and there was something like a whole of 22 people for an hour and a half signing so he just hung out chatting to everyone all as a group.

Would be cool if that sorta thing happened for Bret.

Are you sh*tting me? They made a shambles of the Rey Mysterio signing for the Are We There Yet signing in 2005!

Pretty sure that was the majority WWE security who was doing it for that one.

They weren't around to my knowledge. It was the Easons staff that f*cked that one up for sure.

From talking to your one who sets up all the signings and stuff she was telling me that all the WWE wrestlers demand that they have their own security with them and any others be more just for "backup".

And that Rey was one of the most un-friendly, un-inviting persons they have ever had there.
Was a case of: Hand book to guy beside desk, he slides it onto table, rey signs, Hands to another guy the other side and he gives it back to the owner?

Gotta take your word on that one, but i'm not so sure it's the same case in HMV.

Yeah pretty much. Surprised he ain't slinging crack on the streets of San Diego at this stage, but unfortunately for every muppet that buys a mask at a show, keeps him in a job.

Hey, i don't like it either! But don't blame me, i didn't invest in one!

fatal · 04-04-2009 4:52am

The mysterio signing in easons was indeed shambles.However, they really did a great job for the mick foley signing,which was probably the best signing that I have been to in terms of organisation and fans being able to interact etc.

By the way, it says nothing on the easons website about the Dublin signing,infact it doesn't even mention it

shinzon · 04-04-2009 9:21am

In the window of Easons.

They have a little display up with one page with the details. I should be passing by it again on Monday, if no one else has checked/found out by then I'll post back up the details.

Just as long as said people will have to understand that it's at Easons discretion to allow what can and can't be signed. And if you don't have the book, they may not sign it. Unless you bring something along with the book obviously.

That said, a signed copy of a book always makes a good pressie.

(and no, that wasn't a hint, i got my one signed last year)

Fozzy · 04-04-2009 5:08pm

I bought the book in Easons last week, there was a few euro off the price. Haven't got round to starting it yet, I think I'm more in the mood for reading Jericho's first

They are both great.

Would anyone actually go to meet Bret a second time? I mean I got my book and DVD signed, shook his hand and had a chat, My inner child was delighted. A second time I would feel like a stalker or something and wouldnt know what to say.

He's used to it, he had to put up with the guys who went to see him at the WM booksigning and then again a few hours later at the AWR show.

I do agree though, too many times is overkill.
And yes, twice is too many times.

04-04-2009 10:06pm

If i was going to see him i'd rather get something else signed. Action figure, belt, glasses, whatever. Books being signed doesn't make the most sense to me. If i get a signature of someone on a piece of merchandise based on them, i'd like to be able to display it. Books are tough to display.

That said, I have a signed promo shot of him, so im happy with that. Must pick up a frame for that sometime.

CMpunked · 05-04-2009 1:09am

KKV, on Brets site they make a point to tell the difference between a "Book signing session" and an "Autograph Session".

Basically a book signing is that and that only, the latter is a more of what was doing pre all the AWR shows.

And guess what one he has up for the easons signing?....

Brrrrrrr......

A Book Signing!!

*da da!*
