When the Montreal Screw job happened, WWE employees were outraged. Many refused to show up for work the next week and the entire Hart foundation – with the exception of Owen Hart who had an iron clad contract – which had been one of the cornerstones of the company immediately left the WWE.

Vince was considered as a pariah who had screwed over a man who had given his heart and soul to the company.

This along with the momentum that WCW had in the Monday Night Wars was supposed to put the WWE out of business, but somehow McMahon survived.

One by one, all the wrestlers who boycotted Raw came back to work and with Bret Hart mishandled by the WCW officials, WWE regained the momentum in the ratings war.
