The Montreal Screwjob

If you’ve been a life-long fan of wrestling, Earl Hebner has been one of the most recognized figures when it comes to referees. He’s been part of many memorable matches but the biggest controversy of his career is still the biggest kayfabe breaking moment in WWE history. Hebner knew that he had to signal the official to ring the bell while HBK held Hart in the sharpshooter without the latter submitting to his own move. He was in on everything that McMahon went on to do during the ‘Montreal Screwjob’.

That fact was made even clearer when he ran away soon after. Hart felt betrayed obviously because Hebner evaded this fact by swearing on his own children that he did not know what McMahon was upto.
