The shyt with HHH is more funny/confusing though because he has ZERO issues with Shawn now 
		 
		
	 
Crazy as it sounds, Shawn was mostly open and direct for his contempt and disdain of Bret. HHH did his dirt trying to sabotage him & tried to be sneaky about it while smiling in his face. Even when you hate somebody, a man standing on the fact he doesn't fukk with you & being direct about it is more respectable than a coward that tosses rocks and then hides their hands.
There's also the fact that Shawn was definitely favored by Vince, but I don't think even his harshest critics would say he didn't earn his spot at the top of the card. Even Bret will say he was legit. HHH politicked, literally carried the bags for Shawn & Nash, and then took it a step further and made the career decision to date the bosses daughter. Even with all that, Foley had to damn near kill himself so that the crowd would finally give Paul a reaction & take him seriously vs Rock & Austin.
Shawn was a dirtbag who habitually crossed lines that would have gotten a man on the street beaten to death but I'm not shocked Bret respects him in a way he can't for Levesque.
