Top 5 shocking bookings in the history of Survivor Series

#5 Vince McMahon screws Bret Hart - Survivor Series 1997

A night Bret Hart will never forget

Probably one of the most shocking moments in the company's history came at Survivor Series 1997, where the main event saw Vince McMahon pull off a controversial ending to screw Bret Hart in his own hometown.

Bret Hart's encounter with Shawn Michaels ended in the most embarrassing way possible, with The Hitman refusing to put HBK over in his hometown of Montreal, Canada.

Considering the former WWF Champion was on his way out of the company, Mr. McMahon's decision to get The Show-Stopper over at the event was not entertained by Bret Hart.

Therefore the company pulled off a controversial conclusion to the night, with the referee calling for the bell and crowning HBK the new WWF Champion, leaving Bret Hart and thousands in-attendance confused at what had transpired.

While it did pave the way for many incredible things, Bret Hart's Montreal Screwjob remains one of the most controversial bookings in the history of the business.
