Vince McMahon's 20 Biggest Real-Life Feuds

4. Bret Hart

Perhaps no bigger feud of Vince's was as heated and as emotional as the one involving Bret Hart. While the grudge was legitimate and largely carried from one side, ironically, it began from the other end with Vince McMahon reneging on a contract he signed the Hitman to. Bret turned down a 3 year deal with WCW, worth approximately $9 million, to sign a much smaller deal with WWE that would last 20 years. Not even a year into that agreement, "financial peril" was the excuse McMahon gave to Bret and was the catalyst for his dishonest betrayal of Bret at the 1997 Survivor Series. For years, Bret carried the anger and resentment for Vince McMahon and McMahon did nothing to honor Bret's history with the company. It wasn't until Bret's stroke in 2002 when things began to take a turn for the better. A DVD was soon released chronicling Bret's career and the Hitman was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2006. It took several more years for Bret to return to a WWE ring, but he ultimately settled the score with Vince, on-screen, at WrestleMania XXVI in Arizona. The Best There Is, the Best There Was, and The Best There Ever Will Be had arguably the best real-life feud with Vincent Kennedy McMahon. It lead to the creation of the evil Mr. McMahon character and also highlighted Bret's selfless loyalty to the company that helped make him and he helped save.
