Good segment.

One thing - Bret Hart needs to stop whining. Seriously.

Actually, read his biography.
Its really not whining. I lean toward what Bret has when on record with...he was the only one being professional at the "Montreal Screw Job".
When Vince calls you on the phone and says, "Think with your head not with heart." And from what I can gather that is Bret in nut shell. He's always thought with his heart which I'm not, repeat not, putting him down for it. If you disagree with me, you sir, are worse than a jobber.

"Grind you up and spit you out" is pretty much exactly what they did until Eddie died on their watch and they brought in wellness testing. And for all we know, he could have been speaking of the business in general at that time; ESPN's ADD editing makes that hard to ascertain.
I think there is a big difference between "ax to grind" Bret of post-Montreal, and post-stroke, detached, valid criticism Bret of today.

I wish ESPN had been at all the WM production meetings so we could see the original plans looking nothing like the finished product and changing multiple times in between. The bizarro Mania card of HHH/Edge, Cena/Orton, Jeff/Christian, Big Show in Money in the Bank.

I never read Bret's biography and don't have any deep insight into what happened that night, but this is a very arrogant (and not to mention stupid) statement.
Nevermind :)

I was thinking the WWE production meetings were more of a roundtable deal, Turns out this use the Bingo hall format. Did you notice their reaction when Vince said ESPN cameras were in the room? Someone blurted out "What"? I had to chuckle. The writers are "Top Secret" people. LOL. | Alessandro

Who was the guy sitting behind Joey Styles that the camera focused on for a couple seconds after that remark?

It's a rip-off of (homage to?) Redeye's Greg Gutfield's catchphrase at the end of each show's Greg-A-Logue. Typically on the show the line is, "If you disagree with me, you sir, are worse than Hitler." It was not well executed, however. | Broncolanche

Here's a version on YT with fullscreen! and 720p (where available)!

When Christian's mug shot comes up on the projector, Vince, Hunter, Steph and Shane start screaming in horror and pelting it with crap. Poor old Flounder.

I'm kinda disappointed that they cut down the Creative meeting short...though I understand why.
