Mark Briscoe joining fans “¡Cero Miedo!” chants AEW Dark Special || March 4, 2023

[quiisquiliae]

starter for @grcccvy with Brisco and Ash

Brisco had learned to roll with the punches life threw his way. The mysterious orb that had various powers, such as granting super strength, healing powers, or caused someone to literally turn to dust and die in front of his eyes, time travelers, and even time traveling himself once. All of these things he'd taken with a sense of humor and significant confusion, and this time was no different. Except it somehow was.

Unprompted, a portal had opened up and someone fell out. Strange clothes were worn by the man, he had to be what looked like a metal arm, and his face was oddly similar to his own. As quickly as it had opened, the portal closed, leaving the stranger behind.

"Who are you?" Was all he could manage to get out.

Fine. I like short matches. Just don’t ever ask me to be the first one through the door. The days when I took chances are history.

I swear I will revisit this coherently at another time, but re: my tags on Nat's Varsity Club gifset

[LONG READ; probably will have typos . I just need to get this out of my brain. Ver.1]

I've had this idea -for the VC Mike -> Irwin R. Schyster pipeline- just stewing in my head for awhile and it's an unholy amalgamation of headcanons, headfuckery, some musings from friend's fanfiction (Dealbreaker 😏), and others.

After one year in the Mid-Atlantic area, Mike starts to mention one thing in his promos (once he gets his bearings and stops mumbling in them), and that's money. Money starts to become a running theme.

Money, titles, winning— he starts to make his intentions clear whenever Bob gets a chance to interview him.

"[Gary Hart] is making this guy a lot of money..." "I want to do my best to get titles because titles bring in the money..." "I was *this* close to slamming the One Man Gang and winning that $7,500."

Of course, I'm paraphrasing a bunch, but it's so interesting to hear Mike use those words when we, the audience, know what will become of his gimmicks in the 90s.

An exciting moment in time for this perm headed gentleman; he gets the love of the crowd and the announcers go on and on about how good of a boy he is.

They take every moment to brag about his amateur wrestling background, his accolades, his body (😏), literally anything to help build this bland, lovable, white meat babyface up!

Also, it's important to note that he's generally by himself during this era. No manager, no permanent tag team unlike Sgt. Slaughter + Pvt. Nelson; Steamboat + Youngblood. Sure, he gets partnered up from time to time with the Briscos, Kelly Kiniski, Skip Young, but he's primarily just a Singles wrestler out here winging it, putting folks in his airplane spin.

Fast forward 5 years or so and we get into Varsity Club Mike. No doubt Kevin transforms Mike into a shitty, prideful, disgusting variation of himself. He's cocky, confident. Gone are the days of sportsmanship, Mike is here not just to win, but to humiliate anyone he pleases. And the thing is: he's really good at being a heel, he excels at it.

So Mike gets the titles, the "respect"...all thanks to....Kevin. Sure Mike is a monster, capable heel, but it's Kevin's encouragement/guidance and Mike's obedience to him that grants him the accolades that he's desired from the beginning.

IMO/Headcanon time: Kevin treats Mike like his golden boy, held to such a standard that other members of his Varsity Club must look up to. This inflates Mike's ego so much that he feels unstoppable, infallible. But the Gamesmaster knows when to clip Mike's wings when he gets too ahead of himself— too far from his influence.

I'm gonna fast forward to IRS lest I keep rambling all night, but what I'm getting at is this: Mike spends most of his career prior to IRS as either a bland singles wrestler, or part of stables/tag teams where he is enhanced by those around him.

His transformation into IRS is something that I'm still trying to put succinctly into words. Instead of being managed by others, or in a partnership with others, Irwin is great singles wrestler early on in his debut. He has a clear goal, and he is intent on achieving it: making others pay.

If we really want to get abstract with it, one could say that Irwin's objective and purpose isn't even his own. Sure, his goal is to get people to pay what they owe, and if we're going to dive deeper into the abstract concept, he is a human vessel for an entire bureaucratic entity.

The word (the US tax code) made flesh.

You can see this in how he talks about himself sort of in the third person. It's wordplay, sure, but it's hard sometimes to separate the man from the revenue service of which he is representing. I know and am aware of *the* IRS...but who is Irwin, the man? Does that part even exist beyond physicality?

Pay what you owe, pay me now, pay me later. Just pay me. If he can't get the earnings from titles, he'll just take the money from you.

His singles run doesn't last long since he is then partnered with the ultimate twisted representation of wealth: Ted Dibiase. A pairing too good to be denied. A partnership where he, once again, pledges his service/loyalty to another.

Seeking money to point of being consumed by it, transformed by it...stripped of your individuality, only becoming synonymous with it.

I see Irwin R. Schyster as the culmination of Mike's whole career. One passing mention of money in an interview with Bob Caudle and then it becomes the thing he is most remembered for. The Varsity Club had Mike hone his innate aggression, ruthlessness, and pride; Irwin R Schsyter took that and focused it further by becoming an assertive heel intent on making you pay.

And while we can all point and say that money was the root and cause of his most memorable gimmick, one does have to ask....

Beyond the influence of Kevin Sullivan, Ted Dibiase, and a whole government agency...

Who *is* Mike?

The Montreal Screwjob: What Happened and How It Lead To Bret Hart in WCW

I know what you’re probably thinking when you see the title of this article and it’s probably right . I am going to be discussing one of the most controversial topics in professional wrestling. The topic of the article will about the infamous Montreal Screwjob at the WWF Survivor Series Pay-Per-View in 1997. I will not be bashing anyone , however , I will be giving my honest opinion. I ask you to do the same without starting an argument. I understand that this divides fans , however, this is an important part of wrestling .

The Montreal Screwjob, also known as The Montreal Incident was a highly controversial incident that took place at Survivor Series on November 9, 1997 in Montreal , Quebec , Canada. This incident was not part of the Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart storyline , however , it was a shoot. A shoot is something that happens in professional wrestling that is not a part of a storyline. The incident was planned by WWF Owner and Chairman , Vince McMahon , Shawn Michaels , and a few other employees of the WWF. Bret Hart did not know about their plan. Thus , the shoot was planned to stop Bret Hart , who was the WWF Champion ever since the late summer of 1997 from leaving the WWF with the championship and signing with Ted Turner’s and Eric Bischoff’s World Championship Wrestling, the rival of the WWF . Hart was set to join WCW in 1997, being with the WWF for most of his career , signing with the company in 1984.

Bret Hart didn’t want to lose his championship to Shawn Michaels as the two had a feud outside of Kayfabe. The actual ending of their championship match for Survivor Series was supposed to end with Michaels losing the match via disqualification , while Hart was declared the winner and retained the championship. Therefore , he would’ve had to lose the championship at a later date or he would’ve to forefeit. Hart and Michaels would have a heated rivalry outside of the ring and in the locker room , with both parties being known to argument. Nevertheless, one of their arguments led to a backstage fight before an episode of RAW in Hartford Connecticut. The two fought after Michaels accused Hart of cheating on his wife with Sunny , a popular Valet. This caused Michaels to be suspended for sixty days . Hart said he tried to work things out with Michaels by talking about how to be professional and earn each other’s trust. He also claimed that he would’ve not had an issue losing to him if Vince asked him to do so. Michaels disagreed with everything and this led to Hart’s refusal of losing the championship to him at Survivor Series.

The day before Survivor Series , Shawn Michaels was set to meet with Vince McMahon and his aides , Pat Patterson , and Gerald Brisco , in a hotel room to plan out how to manipulate Bret Hart so he would lose the WWF Championship. It is unknown about how many WWF employees knew about McMahon’s plan. Jim Ross has stated that he never knew about what was going happen, therefore , he was accused by members of the Hart family of being involved . He also claimed that Jerry Lawler didn’t know about what was going on either . Nevertheless, Hart and Michaels met with Pat Patterson to plan out what was going to happen during their match . The plan for the match was to have Michaels use Hart’s signature move , the Sharpshooter , on him as the referee, Earl Hebner , was going to be knocked out . Also part of the original match plan , a second referee was going to be coming to the ring alongside Bret’s brother , Owen Hart and their Brother - In - Laws , ‘ The British Bulldog ’, Davey Boy Smith , and Jim ‘ The Anvil ’ Neidhart . The original referee would start to recover from being knocked down and Michaels would make a pin , with Hart kicking out . The end of the match would be a disqualification.

The match didn’t end as it was planned to do so. During the match , fans kept telling Hart he sold out as he made his way to the ring and booed Michaels. The fans that told Bret he sold out didn’t know that he signed with WCW. Michaels disrespected the Canadian flag by rubbing it against his lower body , dry humping it , and picking his nose with it during his entrance to the ring for the match . Both competitors would take the match in the crowd with McMahon and other WWF officials following behind them. More officials kept coming to ring as they were called upon. Hart first started noticing that something was wrong when he saw Ross and Lawler not calling the match and saw Sgt Slaughter standing with McMahon at ringside . Earl Hebner would be knocked down after Michaels hit him with Sweet Chin Music.

Mike Chioda , the substitute referee who was to be accompanied by Owen , Smith , and Neidhart began letting officials know that Hebner wasn’t supposed to be back in the match yet . Pat Patterson did the same thing , leaving the new Hart Foundation in confusion, as they were supposed to run to the ring to help Bret. Michaels had Hart in the Sharpshooter during this. He had a tight hold on Hart as refused to give his leg to Hart in order to let him break free. Michaels glanced over at Hebner , suspecting fans to know that he was in on the Screwjob as well. Earl Hebner called for Mark Yeaton, the timekeeper to ring the bell as he arose to his feet. McMahon elbowed Yeaton to get his attention, and said “ Ring the fucking bell! ” to him . Shawn Michaels was declared the winner and new WWF Champion. Hart heard everything as tried to trip Michaels . He knew that he was screwed out of retaining the championship.

After Michaels was declared the winner , Jim Ross questioned what happened . Out of anger knowing what happened , Bret Hart spat in Vince McMahon’s face with Shawn Michaels being confused by what’s going on. McMahon soon told Michaels to get the belt and get to the back. He left the arena in a hurry with Gerald Brisco and his tag team partner , Triple H, by his side. McMahon and most of the officials that participated in the match hurried to get to the back as they knew Hart was angry . Hart went on an angry rampage by breaking equipment as the fans began to become angry and jeer McMahon . The rest of the Hart Foundation ran down the ring to calm Bret down. Bret thanked the fans by telling them he loved them and traced ‘ WCW ’ with his fingers to the cheering and appreciation of the fans before following his family backstage .

While backstage , Hart began to question Michaels. Michaels claimed he didn’t know about what happened and why it did . Vince and his aides locked themselves in his office . The Undertaker watched the match from McMahon’s office and went to Hart to express how bad he felt for him . Undertaker also made Vince come out of the office and told him he needed to apologize to Bret. McMahon went to speak to Hart with both Patterson and Brisco , along with Bruce Pritchard. His son , Shane , followed . Hart had his family with him. The Undertaker had to move Michaels far away in the locker from everyone because he knew how Shawn was and he would interrupt. The Undertaker also made sure the other talent stayed out of the locker as they were discussing the outcome of the Screwjob. The discussion got heated with Hart punching McMahon. Triple H and other officials were confronted by Bret’s ex-wife , Julie . Owen had to escort her away from them before it got out of hand . McMahon left with a black eye and sprained ankle .

Shawn Michaels stated in his autobiography that McMahon told him not to carry his newly won WWF Championship out to the ring on RAW the next night and not bring up what happened. Michaels agreed to do so and wouldn’t bash Hart. Meanwhile in Bret Hart’s autobiography, he claimed that he had the support of The Undertaker and other talent . After learning about how Hart was disrespected, many WWF threatened to leave the WWF to follow him to WCW and not show up to RAW. One of these wrestlers was Mick Foley. Foley would return to RAW after talking to Jim Cornette. Rick Rude was one of the wrestlers who followed Bret and made his return to WCW two days after what happened . Hart and Rude were friends outside of the ring. Jim Neidhart and Davey Boy Smith left the WWF as Owen was still under contract with the company. Owen took a break and came back with the Blackhart gimmick. This gimmick was a Vigilante one which meant Owen wanted justice for his brother and his family. Vince would claim Bret Hart screed himself in an interview with Jim Ross on RAW. WCW commentators, Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay , would jeer both Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon. Eric Bischoff would keep teasing Hart’s arrival and the nWo claimed he would join them as soon as he made his debut . Due to the controversy, Vince McMahon’s character , ‘ Mr. McMahon ’, would be created . This gimmick made McMahon a power hungry and toxic boss who would bully talent who went against him. He would also pick his favorite talent to hand a championship to.

My Final Thoughts:

If you all , my readers, want me to be honest abut this article , I will. I was getting angry writing it . I am a fan of Bret Hart and went back to watch this on Peacock. I was only a newborn when it happened , I was born in 1997. I’m also a fan of Shawn Michaels. To me , the Montreal Screwjob is one of the most horrible things that happened to someone in wrestling. It showed how evil someone can be. And I actually felt bad for Bret. What do you think about this ? Sound off in the comments or my ask box . If both of them were in their prime today and it happened , where do you think Bret would’ve signed ? To me , he would’ve signed with AEW if this happened today.

Love You All,

- Kay
