Ah the good old days. I think the great thing about Bret was that he was very believable, in the ring and on the mic. I always believed he genuinely had beef with whomever he was feuding with at the time. I know he wasn't golden on the mic, but he certainly wasn't as awful as some people make out.
I love the rant he gave after he was screwed (again!) after a cage match just before WM13, I think it was. Man, did he let VM have it!! Rep who ever finds me the vid of that.
