1992 was the year Bret Hart should’ve been WWE Champion—but Vince McMahon’s obsession with “Hulkamania” nearly destroyed the Hitman’s career. This episode unearths classified WWF memos, locker room tapes, and Bret’s private diary entries to expose the conspiracy to keep him midcard. Hear how Hogan vetoed Bret’s main-event push, why Shawn Michaels spread rumors about Owen Hart, and the shady deal that gave Bret the Intercontinental Title instead of the gold. Featuring jaw-dropping audio of Bret confronting Vince backstage at WrestleMania VIII, IRS snitching on locker room “traitors,” and the secret meeting where Bret nearly signed with WCW. It’s a gripping tale of betrayal, greed, and the match Vince still regrets—Bret vs. Piper at WrestleMania VIII. For fans of JPW, AWA, and wrestling’s shadow history, this is the episode WWE fears most.
