10 Ways Hulk Hogan Is The Most Ridiculous Human Ever

10. The Montreal Screwjob, As Per Hulk Hogan

If Hulk Hogan is to be believed, the infamous Montreal Screwjob:

- Took place at either WrestleMania 2000 or WrestleMania X-Seven

- Bret Hart was told on that night by Vince McMahon that Shawn Michaels was winning the WWF Title

- The fans in Canada were chanting "Bret Screwed Bret"

- Michaels "pulled a fast one" on Bret by holding him down and pinning him

- Despite supposedly being the greatest wrestler of all time, Hart was held down by "little teeny" Shawn and embarrassed

That ever-so-slightly skewed recollection comes from an Australian radio appearance from Hulk, and also from a Hogan conversation with Bubba the Love Sponge. Pretty much all that the Hulkster got correct about this most infamous of nights, is that it took place in Canada and featured Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.

Of course, this all played out at the 1997 Survivor Series; Hart was told by McMahon that he'd retain the WWF Title in a double DQ finish; no fans chanted "Bret Screwed Bret"; and Michaels technically won by submission rather than pinfall, due to the screwjob that took place.
