As mentioned before, the 2018 Survivor Series pay-per-view is almost upon us now and if you're familiar with Survivor Series, then I'm pretty sure of the fact that you also know what The Montreal Screwjob is. Regarded as the most controversial moment in WWE history, or rather in Professional Wrestling history, for that matter. The 1997 Montreal Screwjob is the perfect example of kayfabe been broken on WWE TV.

Bret 'The Hitman' Hart was by far one of the most popular WWE superstars' of all time and walking into Survivor Series, 1997, 'The Hitman' was the WWF Champion, however, the one little problem that was presented on Chairman Vince McMahon's table was that Hart had received a big money offer from WCW and was all set to jump ship to WWE's rival promotion.

To add further troubles to the WWE Creative, Survivor Series, 1997 was set to take place at Hart's hometown, thus 'The Hitman' refused to drop the title to long-term rival Shawn Michaels and rather requested to lose the belt next night on Raw or even vacate it.

But that wasn't the case to be, after having agreed to do the discussed finish, Vince McMahon and referee Earl Hebner called for the belt, despite the fact that Hart did not tap out as Michaels was awarded the WWF Title.

This eventually sent the Pro Wrestling industry into a frenzy and remains as one of the biggest controversies of all time.
