The drama which followed the now infamous Montreal Screwjob is well publicised, especially as it went a long way in creating the evil Mr. McMahon character who became a staple of WWE programming throughout the Attitude Era and into the present day. However, the shadiness of how it all went down enraged fans, and the WWE had to be kicking themselves over the fact that it took place in Bret Hart's home country of Canada! When The Hitman allowed Shawn Michaels to put the Sharpshooter on him in the match, little did he know that it was the cue for referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell and stop Hart from walking into WCW as the WWE Champion, something which could have killed WWE. Even now that all of the men involved have put aside their differences, it remains a moment which many are unable to forgive the WWE for, and to this very day, Canadian fans still chant "You Screwed Bret!" if anyone who was involved that night shows their face that far north. Of course, the Canadian fans at the time were perhaps more interested in tearing the arena apart than they were getting their money back, but they would if they could have! Still, at least Bret got his very real revenge backstage by knocking out Vince McMahon...
