After losing his WWF Championship in the most unfair of circumstances, Bret Hart was rightly ticked off.

Knowing that McMahon was to blame, Bret famously spat his now former boss in the eye, a brazen act of defiance against the chairman of the board.

Still angry after the broadcast, the Hitman went on the hunt for Vince, reaching McMahon's office backstage, but couldn't find him.

Always the voice of reason, it was The Undertaker who told Vince he had to see Bret, and whilst the boss did just that, he received a black eye for his troubles.

Reports state that this punch caused Vince to topple backwards, causing the boss to sprain his ankle and suffer a concussion.

You can never say that the Hitman went down without a fight.
