Okay, I wasn't hallucinating, just misremembering the context of it. I guess this happened after the PPV went off the air. Vince sure let him get away with a lot since this was the second time he stripped too much. Between those incidents, the lack of punishment for them, the way that Vince fawned over Shawn on commentary/fed lines to other announcers to act similarly to the point where they sounded like they wanted to fuck him, and Vince's uncharacteristically emotional reaction to the "lost my smile" speech, the weird vibe that Bret Hart and others got from Vince and Shawn aren't too far out of left field. Which isn't to say that Shawn and Vince had wild, passionate gay sex with each other, but I can certainly see why someone around them would think something out of the ordinary was going on.
Hawk seemed to be pretty convinced in his shoot interview way back when,
