WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is the one who takes the final call and also decides the match finishes. It is then the job of the talents to work with a producer on ideas for the match. The WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently revealed that Vince did not want to know the ending to his match against The British Bulldog at WWE SummerSlam 1992. Bulldog emerged victorious against Hart in front of roughly 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London, England, to win the Intercontinental Championship. It was also recently noted that Vince might not be selling WWE to a huge name in the business.
The 25-minute match is widely regarded as one of the best in WWE history. SummerSlam 1992 was the last major WWE pay-per-view to be held in England. The British Bulldog’s victory on his home solid was certainly the highlight of his wrestling career tha spanned for 22 years.
Bret Hart reflects on the incident
Speaking to Tom Power, Hart disclosed an interesting conversation he had with Vince McMahon before the event:
“Even with Vince McMahon, when I think of wrestling The British Bulldog at Wembley Stadium, I remember telling Vince, ‘Do you want me to tell you the ending?’ And he goes, ‘Don’t tell me the ending, I wanna watch it.’”
It was also revealed that ‘The Hitman’ was an exception when it came to deciding the match result by Vince. He said that he did not need much help from his opponents or anyone else behind the scenes. Due to his experience and ability to tell in-ring stories, The Hitman was responsible for almost every aspect of his matches except the pre-determined outcome.
“I became a guy that was eventually in charge of all my matches. Vince McMahon would tell me what they wanted me to do, and I’m gonna tell you how the story’s gonna go until we get to the ending. I would map out the match with everybody, and it would be quite intricate, quite a detailed match,” Hart said.
