YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBret Hart takes pride that he brought realism to everything he did in pro wrestling. Few things were more real in his career than the moment that ended up consuming him and ultimately delivering a life lesson he hopes others can learn from.
The wrestling legend was on the wrong side of the notorious “Montreal Screwjob” in November 1997. With Hart on his way to rival WCW, owner Vince McMahon got the WWF championship off him and onto Shawn Michaels at the Survivor Series. Without Hart’s knowledge, McMahon had referee Earl Hebner call for the bell when Michaels had Hart locked in the Hitman’s own Sharpshooter hold, though Hart was not actually submitting.
“It was unfortunate things went the way they did, but I always think that the screwjob was probably my most defining hour,” Hart said in a Zoom interview.
In A&E Network’s new two-hour “Biography: Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart” airing June 6 at 8 p.m., Hart talks about how the events of that day, and the aftermath, left him feeling as if he were emotionally carrying around a “big bag of rocks.” Continually having to answer questions about Montreal and people’s assumptions that it was all just a wrestling angle only added to it. Hart believes his actions showed his passion for his career, his history and his legacy.
