22 WTF WWE Moments From The Montreal Screwjob

7. A Nod To WCW?

Before I find myself on the end of a comment section beatdown, I'm fully aware that the figure-four leglock is part of Bret Hart's traditional repertoire. However, for the Hitman to use such a move on the cusp of his controversial move to WCW - given its obvious associations with Ric Flair - seems a little telling. Earl Hebner, ever the professional, asks Shawn Michaels if he gives up approximately twenty times (in rapid-fire succession). He continues to do so, despite HBK repeatedly shouting "no!" in response. Shawn eventually rolls the hold over, and Bret wisely grabs the bottom rope.
