10 WWE moments every 90s kid will remember 

#4 That incident in Montreal (1997)

Survivor Series 1997 would take place from Montreal, Canada, the home country of Bret 'The Hitman' Hart. Immediately following this massive pay-per-view event, Hart would leave WWE and move to WCW.

Much to the chagrin of Vince McMahon, Hart refused to lose in his home country. Especially to Shawn Michaels, a man he did not personally like.

As Michaels applied the Sharpshooter on Bret Hart, Vince McMahon who was at ringside, called for the bell. Bret Hart had not tapped, and this was an instance of WWE going off script, away from the narrative. The following interview just added more fuel to the fire.

The episode has been replicated on television many times since, and that is an indicator of just how infamous this particular incident was. Twenty years later, WWE and indeed many fans see it as a huge milestone in professional wrestling history.

It gave birth to the Mr. McMahon character, a vile and evil billionaire.
