* CreatorBacklash:
** Bret's "I Quit" match with Wrestling/BobBacklund at ''[=WrestleMania=] XI'' was described by Bret as his worst pay-per-view match ever (though not so much the fault of Backlund, whom Bret respected). Not only did Bret feel the frequent submission holds "stunk the building out," Wrestling/RoddyPiper, as guest referee, kept sticking a live microphone in their faces and yelling "Whaddya say?" in an over-the-top voice that came off goofy, making the match impossible to take seriously. According to Bret, ''"nobody laughs during my matches unless I want them to!"''
** His cowboy gimmick from his early WWF days was something he felt very uncomfortable with, as he never really felt like a cowboy to begin with. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he hated country music.]]
** Bret came to regret the heel promos he made derisively accusing Shawn Michaels of being gay, stating leaning on the homophobia made him uncomfortable. It probably doesn't help that Bret and Shawn's mutual friend Pat Patterson is an openly gay man.

This time, Austin would have won.

The negative interviews recorded for ''Screwed'' were subsequently scrapped, and Bret's more positive relationship with many of the subjects interviewed means it is unlikely they will ever be released.

** Of course, being in WCW having his time and the best years of his career wasted by a company who had no idea what to do with him didn't help. As he recounted on his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41E2ENNe1LM "Broken Skull Sessions" interview]] with Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, at one point he sat down and had a talk with [[Wrestling/{{Goldust}} Dustin Rhodes]] (who was also in the same boat of being misused by WCW after leaving the WWF), and while Dustin was literally in tears as he talked about how he still couldn't help but love the business, a broken and worn-out Hart just asked "What's to love?"
