Bret v. skinned cats
By Scott Keith on 24 February 2021
Hello,
On the Bret DVD, he has an interview segment where he decries the “skin the cat” spot as inherently phony, his logic being that in a real fight, you wouldn't turn your back on your opponent and showboat while he flips himself back into the ring (he's got a
point). I'd imagine he might have intended this as a dig at Shawn, but the thing is, that bit was an easter egg attached to the Bret/Steamboat match (great match btw, although Steamboat looks majorly roided there), and “skin the cat” was one of Steamboat's
signature spots. I wonder if someone producing that disc was being a bit cheeky there.
Perhaps he was blinded by the tear in his eye when he was producing it.
