Hitman was champ at the time, Vince didnt offer him a new deal so Brett signed for the WCW. Coming up to this last match at a big PPV event and he agreed with Vince that he'd have a great last match with HBK but that Brett could walk out as 'champ' seeing as it was his last match and he didnt want to lose in his hometown. Vince agreed to it all. Showed the build up to the match, Vince was all sweetness and light all day. The match came, HBK pinned him when he shouldnt have, and the ref Earl Hebner did a really fast count then bolted from the ring. It wasnt what they had agreed. Brett was gutted so he went to the locker rooms and accused HBK of stitching him up along with McMahon. HBK dinied it all off course. HHH smirked in the corridor. Brett went into the room with Vince and a few minutes later he stormed out saying he'd punched Vince. Vince was actually helped out later, looking very groggy. Bretts wife had a go at both HHH and HBK. Hitman hasnt been in the WWE since. He also blames McMahon for the death of Owen Hart.
Definately a stitch up, McMahon said later he couldnt let Hitman walk out on him as a champ to WCW.
