WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (May 8)
1. Screw Off, Screwjob!
DAMMIT! Titanic and the original Men in Black were in theaters the year The Montreal Screwjob went down. Why cant anyone in management let this thing go? Look at Bret Harts face at Payback, its clear that even he doesnt give a damn any more. Actually Im not so sure hes still into this whole wrestling thing either any more, but I digress.
The thing is, this real-life shoot keeps getting turned into non-shoot angles to...get someone out there to think its real? To try to make the original screwjob a joke? For Bret Hart to have a reason to give a guy nearing 70 a Sharpshooter?
Lets recall that Bret had already been screwed with the screwjob finish post-Montreal in an angle in WCW. In 1999, Vince Russo was still very much into that story, despite it being two years old at the time. So he booked Starrcade, their biggest event of the year, to end with Goldberg ghost tapping out to the Sharpshooter. It was old, tired and dumb by that point.
Hey, it was also the match that cost Bret his career, so maybe out of respect to him, they can quit doing it. Or maybe they can at least respect the dead horse they keep beating.
Time to kick out.
