Seeing it again as part of the RAW Rebound it was more enjoyable, but seriously, looking at his face when he is hugging Michaels, he most definately didn't want to do that if you ask me, it was beyond awkward and his face showed he wasn't enjoying it. I guess the last segment worked, because it got me annoyed that Vince made him look so weak, he got me angry, so I'll be motivated to see Bret getting his own back!
I think he was trying to listen to what HBK was saying. I'd love to know what he did say! But i admit the hug looked awkward.
And hell yeah the last segment worked for the feud. Its standard, but it makes you think after all he has done to Bret to be so ignorant to still think you were right and then to kick a guy after he has offered the olive branch.... everyone wants to see Bret slap that sharpshooter on Vince now.
