5 moments that made Vince McMahon the most hated heel of all time

#4 The Montreal Sc***job

When The Montreal Sc***job was done and dusted with, a disgusted Bret "The Hitman" Hart left to kick off a new career in World Championship Wrestling. Minutes after the incident, Bret Hart had punched Vince McMahon in the locker room area.

On the next night, Vince McMahon appeared in a sit-down interview with WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross. The interview was a way to get back at Bret Hart for his attack on Vince.

The conversation saw Vince McMahon burying Hart into oblivion and stating that the entire incident happened because Bret Hart wasn't being a professional. Vince uttered those legendary words that became synonymous with The Montreal Sc***job: "Bret sc****d Bret".

The two parties would go on to reconcile around a decade later when Hart was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The on-screen rivalry came to an end at WrestleMania 26, when Bret Hart beat the hell out of Vince McMahon in front of 70,000 fans.

McMahon did what was best for the business and was not afraid to put himself in the line of fire to protect his brand. Bret Hart was due to leave the WWE to rival brand WCW and Vince did not want him to carry the championship gold along.

Despite Bret Hart being a professional, Vince wanted to cover all bases and infamously sc****d the Canadian.

He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
