Talk about it here.

Bret approaches Lawler at the announce booth and tears into him in a really good promo then gets physical. Good segment.

Holy shit, I was a regular viewer at this point and I have NO recollection of this. This is an AWESOME segment, that brings to mind the Bret-Vince-Patriot confrontation a couple of years from now. This had a similar out-of-control feeling coming off a great promo from Bret where he absolutely eviscerates Lawler but also himself for losing and letting his family down. He even gets bleeped! Bret tries to bully Lawler into granting him a rematch, with Bret agreeing to anything Lawler wants. No answer, as suits and officials have to try to pry Bret away. How the hell could any fan think Diesel and Shawn constantly yukking it up was more entertaining than this? This is the rawest and most emotional thing the WWF has done in months, maybe literal years. Crazy that the Big Two, knee-deep in kiddie land, suddenly come up with legitimately heated angles one after the other. Even Lawler toned down the cartoonishness and was good here--he didn't look cowardly, just confused and intensely uncomfortable.

Bret Hart seems like a whiny, bitter, psychopathic bully. Similarly to Hulk Hogan, Bret always comes off as a heel in promos, albeit for different reasons. You almost feel bad for Lawler here. Hart was miscast as a babyface.
