#1. The Montreal Screwjob

This is going to irk a lot of fans and understandably so. While we undoubtedly disagree about the morality and idea behind "bringing business to Bret Hart," the entire situation is not as one-sided and clear as many people make it out to be.

Sure, it did bring out the Mr. McMahon character afterwards, but speaking from context alone, McMahon had reason to do what he did. Not wanting to repeat the disaster of Madusa (aka Alundra Blayze) trashing the WWF Women's title on live WCW TV, McMahon couldn't guarantee the same when Bret Hart revealed that he was jumping ship to WCW.

Bret Hart would undoubtedly have vacated the title, but given that it was a time of war for both companies, McMahon had every reason to be as ruthless as he was. All he did was try to protect his own business and company. All said and done, the Montreal Screwjob ended up with everyone making a lot of money later on.

It remains unclear, though, if Shawn Michaels was in on the finish. He has pleaded his innocence on more than one occasion, but, knowing the Heart Break Kid, you can never be quite so sure.
