Does Hellwig not realize that this makes him look like an even bigger ass?
It wouldn't surprise me if the old man ordered the offer made knowing there was a 99.99% probability that UW would refuse. Then Vince could say, "Hey, we offered the proverbial olive branch..."
Hellwig is always trying to sue Vince for money/wages, etc. and he's seldom successful.
It would probably be a lot easier if he followed Bret's lead - make amends and then make some $$ that way!
Then he wouldn’t be wasting all that time & money on court costs, attorney’s fees, etc. with little to show for it.
Look at Bret: he’s already had one successful DVD release, he’s got a temporary gig to make some extra (decent) ching, his old man is being inducted into the HOF, and there’s another video documentary in the works.
Basically, unless you’re Shane Douglas, Vince is willing to bury the hatchet with anyone.
