Montreal Screwjob

Wikipedia Overview

The Montreal Screwjob, also called the Montreal Incident, was a notorious professional wrestling incident where the outcome of a major match was changed, without one of the wrestlers being informed, in order to "screw over" Bret Hart, who was in bitter conflict with his then-employer, WWF owner Vince McMahon. The screwjob occurred on November 9, 1997, at the Survivor Series PPV event produced by the WWF in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. During the WWF Championship match between champion Hart and Shawn Michaels, McMahon, who was in charge of matches and storylines and producer of the show – and a small number of WWF employees, most significantly referee Earl Hebner – covertly changed the predetermined outcome of the match in favor of Michaels; the screwjob occurred without Hart's knowledge, causing him to lose the championship. Hart took the incident as a personal insult because he did not wish to lose the title to Michaels after the latter had told Hart that he would never do the same for him. With this event, the term "screwjob" came into wrestling parlance.
