During the Montreal Screwjob that took place at the Survivor Series pay-per-view event held in 1997, Vince McMahon rang the bell while Shawn Michaels held Bret Hart in the Sharpshooter. Michaels was set up to win the WWE Title in this way so that Hart could make the transition to WCW.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently discussed his relationship with Bret during an episode of his podcast, “Grillin’ JR.”
“We went for years [and] never spoke because he didn’t believe I was not a party to it. The truth was, I was not a party to it. The truth was, I didn’t even know the f***ing finish. I’m glad to some degree that the story has a happy ending,” he said. “It was emotional for Bret to come back, get a hug and be in a ring and then finally have his meeting with Shawn.”
