“So Bret, let’s open some old wounds here… spoken like a true journalist” – @michaelcole #win #MTLScrewjobPanel

Bret: Felt like John Cena does today in mid 90s, people feeling sick of him and looking for next “torch bearer” #MTLScrewjobPanel

How their heat began: Bret made a big deal about Shawn posing in Playgirl, Shawn wasn’t too happy how far Bret took it. #MTLScrewjobPanel

Would Bret have brought WWE title to WCW? He says lawsuits stemming from Alundra Blayze incident made that not doable. #MTLScrewjobPanel

Moment where “it hit the fan”: when first found out about SS97 match – Bret: “I’ll be professional w you” Shawn: “I won’t be the same w you”

Lawler: “Back then I never used to want to go to production meetings, they were so boring” Cole: “You still don’t go” #MTLScrewjobPanel

Shawn on Bret’s spit in Vince’s eye: “it was a good shot!” Bret: “I was always a good spitter” #MTLScrewjobPanel

By the way, there are WWE cameras filming this panel, so maybe @wwe dot com will have highlights at some point. #MTLScrewjobPanel

Despite being at odds at the time, Bret says he and Shawn were friends once upon a time and truly didn’t know at first if he was in on it.

Ever the ribber where no situation is exempt, British Bulldog stole Bret’s towel while Bret was showering after the match. #MTLScrewjobPanel

“@craiglaurasam @arda_ocal sounds like uncomfortable panel for HBK he saying anything?” yes, more than their DVD. Bret carrying stories
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Shawn wanted to tell Undertaker exactly what happened. Taker walked up to him, shook his hand and said “we’re cool”. #MTLScrewjobPanel
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Bret: first time he has ever watched the post screw job JR/Vince intw on #RAW
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Bret didn’t “do the honours” for Shawn because Shawn said he wouldn’t put him over. Said if Shawn put him over first, he would have done it.
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Bret says @kiddwwe @natbynature and @harrysmith are the reason he and HBK buried the hatchet. #MTLScrewjobPanel
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Bret: he watched Shawn vs Taker at WM25, was so impressed. It rekindled his love of wrestling. Made him wanna rekindle. #MTLScrewjobPanel
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Bret: Wrestling With Shadows doc actually wrapped in Sep 97 but needed an ending. Bret suggested his last WWE match. #MTLScrewjobPanel
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
Bret: he wanted to take the wire off before closed door meeting with Vince but “Shadows” director told him to keep it on. #MTLScrewjobPanel

Panel is over – if it were up to me, these would be a staple before every WWE Pay Per View event, let alone Fan Axxess.
— Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) January 26, 2013
“@nature_woman: @arda_ocal Overall, how was the panel? Were Bret and Shawn friendly during and afert it?” It was great and yes they were
