Bret to WCW in 92?

Not much more to it. Bret's contract was coming up and there was rumored to be fear he was going to pull a Honky Tonk Man and try to leave with the IC title as a receipt for Flair taking the NWA title to WWF, so they switched it to Mountie and renegotiated with him. Apparently WCW had made some pretty serious offers and even scheduled his debut for the Clash in January, although legally it would have been dicey at best if he had jumped with the belt because his contract wasn't exactly "expired" in the standard sense of the word. I'd have to check Bret's book for the millionth time for all the details, but that's the gist.
