What else was it going to be, right? When then-WWE Champion Bret Hart announced that he had signed for WCW, he refused to drop the belt to Shawn Michaels at WWE Survivor Series 1998 in his hometown of Canada, instead agreeing to drop it the following night on Raw.

The WWE didn't want to risk Hart appearing on Nitro with the belt and orchestrated a scheme to screw The Hitman out of the belt. Towards the end of the match, Michaels locked Hart into the Sharpshooter and Vince instantly called for the bell even though Bret hadn't tapped.

It immediately created the most controversial moment in WWE history and it remains the worst moment in Survivor Series history twenty years down the line.
