SPOILER!!! Here is the reason why the crowd was chanting "We want Bret that night" 1. The match was taking place shortly after WWE deliberately revived the Bret/HBK controversy. At the August 15, 2005 episode of RAW in Montreal, HBK repeatedly brought up Bret Hart and the 1997 Survivor Series Screwjob. Montreal fans already had a deep connection to Bret, and they immediately responded with “You screwed Bret!” and “We Want Bret!” chants. HBK actually encouraged it. When the fans chanted for Bret, Shawn essentially told them: You're not getting Bret because I screwed Bret. Then WWE played Bret's entrance music, causing the Montreal crowd to explode. Shawn had deliberately gotten their hopes up before revealing that Bret wasn't there. 2. WWE was using Bret to generate heat for HBK. By 2005, Bret was back on relatively good terms with WWE and had been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. But he still wasn't wrestling because of his health and the fallout from the Screwjob. So WWE couldn't simply have Bret wrestle Shawn, but they could use the idea of Bret to make Shawn look like an even bigger villain. That was especially effective in Montreal. 3. The Hogan match itself incorporated Bret's legacy. During the SummerSlam match, Shawn mocked Hogan and worked as the arrogant heel. At one point, after the referee went down, Michaels put Hogan in the Sharpshooter—Bret Hart's signature submission. That's when the crowd again started chanting “WE WANT BRET!” The irony was intentional: HBK was using Bret's own finishing move against Hulk Hogan while the audience was screaming for Bret. And there's an important detail The chant wasn't necessarily: “We want Bret to fight Hogan.” It was more like: “WE WANT BRET!” = “Give us Bret! We want to see him confront Shawn!” The crowd was essentially hijacking the match with the one thing they knew would get under HBK's skin. And Shawn played into it. He would smile and mock the crowd whenever they chanted for Bret, which only made them chant it louder. In fact, WWE had already established the joke on RAW: Bret's music played, the crowd went insane, and Shawn laughed because Bret wasn't actually coming out. So the “We Want Bret!” chants at SummerSlam 2005 were a callback to the Montreal Screwjob, with WWE intentionally using Bret's enormous popularity in Montreal to make Shawn Michaels' heel character even more hated.

The Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan match at SummerSlam 2005 had a lot of backstage tension behind it. Originally, Shawn reportedly wanted the match to be a competitive dream match between two legends. Instead, Hogan wanted Shawn to turn heel, leading to Shawn constantly mocking Hogan and making fun of his larger-than-life image. WWE went along with the idea, including Shawn's famous Hogan impersonation and exaggerated promos. The bigger problem came when they started discussing the actual finish. Hogan had creative control over his booking, and Shawn reportedly wanted to do a multi-match series where they could trade victories before Hogan ultimately won the feud. Hogan, however, didn't want to lose the first match. There were even discussions about a rematch at Unforgiven, but those plans fell apart. At SummerSlam, Hogan ultimately won cleanly. This is where Shawn made the match infamous. He massively exaggerated his selling, getting launched across the ring from Hogan's punches and reacting to Hogan's moves as though they were devastating attacks. It was essentially Shawn saying, "You want me to make Hulk Hogan look like an unstoppable superhero? Fine—I'll make him look REALLY unstoppable." The exaggerated performance turned what was supposed to be a serious match into something almost comedic. The following night on RAW, Shawn continued the sarcasm, over-the-top praising Hogan and pretending that Hogan was simply too incredible for anyone to defeat. The promo was basically Shawn's way of venting his frustration while still staying within the storyline. So, Shawn didn't refuse to put Hogan over. He lost clean and did what was asked of him. The controversy was that he apparently used his performance and the RAW promo to mock the way the match had been booked. The planned rematch never happened, and the feud ended with Hogan getting the victory and Shawn moving on to his next program.

Can you edit your comment to just add a SPOILER tag and a few blank lines above it? 1997 is a future mini-series for Angela to experience. :) Even though it’s out of order, I feel like her loving HBK and Bret helps with looking back at the story.

FunnyNFarbsy

I do absolutely love that promo. Once we get through 1997, I’ll eventually work that into things to show Angela (as a reaction or away from it) because DAMN when that music hits, that HITS. WHO’S YOUR DADDY, MONTREAL??!

Kevin Nash laying down for Hollywood Hogan during the Fingerpoke of Doom on January 4, 1999 was the reference HBK was talking about during the promo in the beginning

I love the oversell by HBK it’s hilarious

I was going to be annoyed about the triple threat getting pushed back (since seeing that reaction ASAP is why I decided to start paying for Early Access), but you instantly won me back with the alternative being Rey vs Eddie.

FunnyNFarbsy

Sorry! But glad you’re on-board for the quick 2-part Rey vs Eddie series!

Adam Nelson

The triple threat and Halloween Havoc are both all time classics.

(This may be a little pathetic, but i am just going to sit in my feelings for a bit...) It breaks my heart somewhat that THIS is Angela's introduction to Hulk Hogan as an actual wrestling performer and ring presence. I do completely understand that - if you missed the original Hulk run and came back to discover him now - Terry Bollea has since created an enormous amount of (what i'll diplomatically call) interference in being able to watch and appreciate what that persona meant. But to first see him in this state, when he was just barely hanging on to his career as a WWF/WWE performer and when the era of kayfabe was in its dying embers, makes me a little sad. Not sure what any of this post was worth, but it was just on my mind.

FunnyNFarbsy

I totally get it. It's tough to show someone 40+ years of wrestling history without going truly chronologically, and some performers/moments will be spoiled by doing so, but I'll share my reasoning here and hopefully that helps. I believe that introducing someone to Hulk Hogan when they already know about Terry Bollea the person is a tricky thing to do. I think starting here allows us to get the BAD Hogan/Bollea stuff out without allowing it to spoil/ruin the iconic moments of the character's career. If the first example of Hogan as a wrestler was Hogan/Savage or Hogan/Warrior (or anything after that point), I think the existing knowledge of Terry Bollea makes the character of Hulk Hogan harder to accept for what the character was in its era. So now, when we get to the Mega Powers or the Title vs Title match with Warrior, we can probably just vent about the human portraying the character in the opening commentary for those matches, but then just watch and enjoy the larger-than-life character involved in them.

Did you tip toe around Stve Austin "as a person" like you are with the Hulkster? Hulkster said some mean words, oh boo hoo. Steve Austin was arrested for beating his wife. I know, I know, mean words is worse that assaulting a woman.

FunnyNFarbsy

Pointing out one person’s flaws doesn’t negate another’s. What Austin did to Debra was awful. He seems to be a better person today than he was then, which obviously doesn’t excuse what he did. Nothing suggests Bollea ever grew as a person from the things he did. And there’s a case to be made that his ratting out Ventura’s unionization efforts puts the blood of a lot of other wrestlers partially on his hands (mostly on VKM’s, but if Bollea doesn’t rat out Ventura VKM may not have squashed the union, likely saving multiple wrestlers’ lives).

FunnyNFarbsy

There are wrestling fans who look past the end of Chris Benoit‘s life and enjoy his body of work as a performer. Same for looking past what Jimmy Snuka seems to have very likely done, because they enjoy his body of work as a performer. There were people who can’t get past who Shawn Michaels was in the 1990s, and there are those who acknowledge that he was a POS in the 1990s but enjoy him because he recognized his faults and got better. Your mileage may vary, and that’s fine.
