Well now we're just going in circles. It wasn't the fact that it was a PPV that irked Bret. It was the fact that it was in his home area. He said he would've done it, but he didn't want to do it there.

I think that's "reasonable".

And if Vince really didn't think it was 'reasonable', why did he lead Bret to believe that everything was cool? If he really wanted to be THE BOSS, he should've said "LOOK BRET, YOU FUCK, YOU WILL JOB AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!".

But instead, he went behind his back and just confused the shit out of him. That wasn't very nice on Vince's part.

Because had Vince said that then Bret could have (and in my opinion, most likely would have) no showed and Vince would have been fucked out of his main event for one of the big four PPVs of the year.

The original beef wasn't Vince versus Bret. They loved each other.

It was Bret versus Shawn.

If Vince REALLY would have attempted to put his foot down, I think he would have succeeded. Bret didn't hate Vince McMahon (in 1997), and he had a reputation for being fiercely loyal to the company. I don't think he would just NO SHOW a fucking PPV main event.

It doesn't matter if it was Shawn Michaels, Taka Michinoku or Steve Austin that Bret Hart refused to job to. What does matter is that Vince McMahon agreed on a finish and then turned his back on the locker room. He gave his word and the pissed on it. He didn't have to do that at all. Bret legally couldn't go to WCW for another 30 days so if he went on Nitro the next night and threw the belt in the bin or whatever then he would be in breach of contract. Just like if Hulk Hogan showed up on Raw and did the same thing.

And if people think Bret Hart of all people would have done that then they need to pull their heads out of Vince McMahon's arse and their cocks out of Shawn Michaels' mouth.

You can sort of see both sides of the issue.

Vince should have shut his mouth about breaching brets contract until after Bret jobbed it ( probably to Austin or Shamrock) and then told bret " hey listen..about that 20 years..I was kidding..now fuck off"


Bret was FORCED out of the WWE -and what makes it worse is that on his way out he has to job to a guy who told him that he would never job to bret. Bret even stated that he would job to Michaels after that ...

I think for Brets loyalty and him giving all to the company he should have at least had one last request which was not to lose in his hometown. If bret was allowed to leave the way he wanted what reason would there be for him to take the belt to WCW?


in the end, It was an issue of horrible timing..

I've read as many replies as I can bring myself to read, and one more time, it's all the same stuff again, so I'll call it how I see it one more time. I honestly don't disagree with Vince wanting Bret to drop the title to Shawn at Survivor Series, and Bret whining about it WAS pretty lame, but on the same hand, if Vince told Bret he could do the Double Disqualification thing, then that's how it should've gone down, period. If Vince wasn't willing to back down, he shouldn't have, and if Bret didn't like it, well, my backup for that is simple. A forfeit victory for Shawn Michaels.

What could be worse than that? I mean, it's one thing to fight and just come up short, but not even to come out to face your arch nemesis in your "home country" in front of all of your fans? I think that would've hurt Bret far more than being locked in a Sharpshooter and clearly NOT submitting.

My uninvited and unwanted opinion:

Vince made the big 20 year deal with Bret, and the clause was put in that for the final 30 days of Bret's contract, he has reasonable creative control, so as to avoid being unfairly buried on his way out. Vince made that deal, so he can't piss and moan about the fact that he had to go by the terms of it. It was with Vince's urging (both directly and indirectly) for Bret to go to WCW, thus beginning the period of Bret's "reasonable" control. Vince was in a situation where he wanted to get the belt off Bret, and Bret, as he'd been painted all along as the Canadian Hero, likely felt that it would hurt him significantly to lose to Michaels with the way the match was built, and his personal dislike of Shawn probably helped him not want to lose that one (coming off of things like Bret saying he's lose to Shawn, and Shawn replying with words to the effect of "that's nice, but I wouldn't do it for you"). Bret really didn't do anything wrong from a legal standpoint, as the situation he was put in was incited by and created by Vince himself.

Shawn did one-up Bret, and Vince screwed him. Bret got hosed.

Hey, that's a nice Rock impression there, but obviously somebody is still thinking about it. Who are you to tell them not to? If you didn't want to hear about it anymore, the thread title alone should have led you not to click on it. Is it a pre-requisite to be a dick around here?

Even though this topic is done to death, there have been many valid points. My opinion on this is, that Bret was in the wrong. Everyone knew he was leaving, and even though he had creative control, that should have been thrown out. And I really can't stand that Bret always acts like he is the victim, when he brought it on himself. It was documented that he asked Earl Hebner not to screw him in the match, so he knew the possibilities of what was going down.

Also, everyone can say that when Bret was heading to WCW, they were worried about what he would do with the belt. Even though Bret may not take the belt to WCW, when you are Vince McMahon, you have to protect your business and can't take chances like that.

One last thing, if Survivor Series would not have been held in Montreal, I can almost guaran-dam-tee that we would not be talking about this today.

I'm in favor of management. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were both being immature, even if it was moreso Shawn than Bret. The thing was though that Mr. McMahon was absolutely sure that Shawn would be on Raw the next night. And since Bret was being stubborn, Mr. McMahon lied to him. Was it right? No, but a case could be made that it was necessary.

To everyone who's saying "Get over it" and "who cares," Keep in mind this is coming up ONLY because Vince McMahon and the WWE brought it up. Jesus Christ, do you really expect a main event "controversy" to not start discussion?

That's why we should all get over it though. If we ignore it, Vince will have to at some point.

It comes up for 3 reasons, and 3 reasons only:

1) Bret Hart holds a deep grudge, and can't get over something that happened 8 years ago.

2) Some Canadian fans like to cheer "You Screwed Bret!" chants at live events because its fashionable, while others like The avenger, Zen v.W.o., and Rob are grudge carrying goof balls themselves..which is why they relate so well to Threat Fart.

3) Vince McMahon knows that any Bret Hart reference will garner fan interest. Hence, Vince continues to bring up the Montreal Screw job in certain areas, because it garners great heat.

You are seriously mentally ill. Although I shouldn't be arguing with people who play fake internet characters on message boards so I blame myself really.

1- Bret has mentioned a ton of times he doesn't hold a grudge.

2- Again, I'm not Canadian. Never cheered "you screwed Bret" at a WWE show either.

3-He should be embarrassed that the most popular guy in the WWE today is a 48 year old who doesn't even work for them any more and hasn't had a match for the company in 9 years.

And did you know that Bret Hart wanted to do his DVD without any mention of Montreal? Guys like Dave Meltzer, Paul Jay (Wrestling With Shadows) and Carl DeMarco (WWE Canada) had to convince Bret to even do the project with Montreal being mentioned since he was so insistant on it not being in the DVD that he was refusing to do it if it was mentioned.

And if you watched the DVD, you'd know he is clearly over Montreal. And if you haven't then check this - Bret Hart is a 48 year old man who has had 8 concussions in 3 weeks which ended his career. He divorced his wife. He then lost his closest brother in a tragic accident he shouldn't have even been doing. Then he lost both his parents and broke away from his own family. Then he had a stroke which doctors told him he would struggle to walk again. He doesn't watch wrestling anymore. He has a new wife and moved out of North America and has absolutely ZERO interest playing a fake wrestling character again. If he had interest, he'd have been on WWE TV years ago. And he still only speaks of Montreal when people bring it up to him (and even then it's as brief as it can be).

Yeah he needs to get over Montreal though

As for him taking being a hero seriously. Fair play to him. It's about time some people in the public eye remembered kids look up to them.

well Paul Heyman believed bret was right, Undertaker thought bret was right and so were nearly all the insiders. If shawn michaels relly and truly believed what he took part in was right then why, after it had happened, did he say to bret " Bret i swear to god I had nothing to do with it, "

While both parties were catalyst to the event that re-defined wrestling, I thing the WWfF holds 90% of the blame with Bret holding the 10%

In the end the biggest loser in the screwjob was Bret Hart.


BTW: in the movie about jesse ventura's life they did the screwjob angle

I'm sorry, but please don't be so gullible. Do you really think Shawn wanted to catch the ass-whooping that Bret undoubtedly was prepared to dish out?

oh please. the point here is that Shawn "believes" he did the right thing..why not say so to bret...why GO into the changeroom and lie. He could have just left the arena - without trying to cover anything up.

end result : shawn knew he was doing something that was wrong. He knew he would get his ass kicked because of it...so he did what HBK does best..lie

Correct me if I'm wrong but part of what started the situation is that Bret refused to job to Michaels for the belt before he left off to WCW. The way I see it, Bret never really had the right to refuse to lose to Michaels in the first place. Whether he hated the guy or not, this seems like an extremely unprofessional thing to do. Especially taking into consideration that it wasn't going to matter anyway once he left off to WCW. That put Vince in a tough spot as far as booking goes. The match was already set up. I say Vince did what he had to do due to the fact that he was dealing with a very stubborn worker. I most likely would've done something similar. Alot of people will say 'oh, it didn't matter what Vince thought to Bret cause he was leaving. bla, blah blah.'. In any other line of work, you are an active contributing employee until your very last day of work. The fact that he refused to do what the boss told him out of dislike for his opponent shows that he didn't care what state he left the company in after his departure. If Bret didn't care about the WWF or Vince then why should Vince have cared about him?

Just the way I see it. Thoughts?


Every time this topic is brought up, I lose even more respect for Shitman Fart and all other Canadians elsewhere.

THIS HAPPENED OVER 8 YEARS AGO. GET OVER IT!


Bret Hart is a douche bag. Shawn Michaels is no saint either, but he spoke the absolute truth when he said that Bret Hart claimed to stand for some moral fiber that really didn't exist in his world, yet chose to judge others.

Bret Hart showed a complete lack of professionalism by refusing to job cleanly to HBK that night. So what if HBK didn't want to job to him a few years earlier?

Does two wrongs make a right? Shouldn't a so-called "moral man" like Bret Hart realize this?

Instead - Bret decided to stoop down to HBK's level.




This is the Sports-Entertainment business people. 99% of it is STORYLINE.

Bret complaining that he didn't want to lose the belt to HBK in Canada because he's a hero there, would be the same as Mel Gibson's Braveheart character stating that he didn't want to die in Scotland, because he's a hero there.



Lastly - Bret has recently proven that he's an ego-maniac by doing business with the WWE...with his new DVD about to be released. Obviously - Bret cares more about his 'legacy' and ego, as opposed to his own personal integrity.

Even during Owen Hart's death during the funeral, Bret rarely even spoke about Owen. All he could talk about with Vince, was getting the rights to his footage.


As far as Vince and the WWE constantly bringing up Montreal, IT'S GOOD FOR BUSINESS!

The reason why it's constantly brought up in Canada, is because Canadian marks like Zen v.W.o and Rob can't let go of their ridiculous deep rooted grudge. The WWE play upon it.

Outside of Canada, the screwjob is rarely ever brought up.




Bottom line? Vince = terrific business man. He used the Montreal Screwjob as a way of launching the highly successful Attitude era.

Bret Hart seriously needs to move on......or just get a gun and hunt down Vince or something.

If those fans did get over it, Vince wouldn't have this as a money maker. That's why the WWE keeps bringing it up. So it doesn't die and they lose all that money.

Vince McMahon mentioned this a few years ago (can't remember where and when). He talked about how he mentioned Owen in about ONE sentence at the funeral.

Obviously, I thought nothing of it back then since Vince may have been biased.

Recently on Canada's Off the Record however, Bret basically admitted the same thing in a round-a-bout way. He also talked about meeting Vince at Owen's funeral, and spoke about the footage.....at his brother's funeral.

I mean, good god. This is your own brother's funeral for Christ sakes.

Wow, talk about only wanting to hear things you want to hear. I have that show on tape. Tell me, did you watch the entire bit or what? Bret's met with Vince in a park in Calgary after the Funeral. NOT DURING THE FUNERAL. Bret's lawyers requested he not talk about the court case or anything to that extent. Yes, the video footage was brought up, which Bret had been trying to get for months now. Vince said Bret could have everything. Bret called the office a few weeks later and Vince's secratary said Vince said he never recalled any conversation.

Even Lansberry thought Vince was full of shit when Vince came on his show.

I'm not Canadian. And it is very much brought up on outside Canada. Every time Vince brings it up, it causes worldwide conversation.
