During his 13-year-long run with WWE, Bret Hart was one of Vince McMahon's most loyal employee. With his off-the-charts charisma and a huge fan following, Hart helped McMahon rebuild the company during the New Generation Era.

However, the two men fell out on the infamous night of Survivor Series 1997, where Vince McMahon took he WWF Championship off Hart in a controversial fashion and rewarded it to Shawn Michaels. As one could imagine, Hart was left both shocked and infuriated with McMahon would do so after he had done so much for WWE.

Hart couldn't reclaim the title from HBK as he was heading to WCW. In the aftermath of the incident, he gave his boss a black eye and fracturing his hand in the process. This led to their nine-year beef, a period during which they both refused to see or talk to each other.

Things between Hart and McMahon eventually cooled down in 2006 when both men decided to bury the hatchet and start with a clean slate.

"We have a good relationship, although I’ll never probably ever get over what happened to me. There’s a part of me that forgives Vince, because I love what I did for the company."
