10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 12 Facts
1. Hart, Michaels Tell Different Stories About The Post-Match Lack Of Handshake
There are two sides to every story, especially when Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels are involved.
According to Hart, he told Michaels during the planning stages of the match that he wouldn't shake his hand afterward, in order to build heat for an eventual rematch between the two. He recalls Michaels having no issue with this proposal, because it would come into play later.
Michaels, for his part, seemed legitimately miffed about that fact in his first book. He charged that Hart didn't shake his hand, and didn't even speak to him afterward. Hart added that brother Owen phoned him the next day to say he had real heat with Michaels for not shaking his hand, which Bret attributed to being part of the grander work.
As we all know, the issues between Hart and Michaels certainly did not end there.
