There have been conspiracies surrounding the Montreal Screwjob for a number of years, the biggest one is regarding who actually knew what was going to happen heading into the match. Shawn Michaels protested his innocence, even though it was obvious that he was involved and Earl Hebner apparently swore to Bret Hart the day before the show that he knew nothing about anything to do with it.

"He came up to me in the shower after and we were talking and I said Earl, you know they are going to ask you to tomorrow to screw me in the match, you know that, he got tears in his eyes and he said 'I swear to god on my kids, I would never let that happen."

"I knew in my head my mistake was letting anyone put any kind of a hold on me and trusting Earl, but they got Earl just before he walked out through the curtain and kinda got him and said 'you're gonna do this'...and I've never blamed Earl."
