The seeds for this feud started back during the infamous 'Montreal Screw Job' that saw Mr. McMahon basically screw Hart out of successfully defending the WWF World Championship in his final WWF match. Shawn Michaels had Hart in a Sharpshooter and even though Hart hadn't tapped out, McMahon forced the timekeeper to ring the bell as if he had.

It spurned Hart on his way out as he was headed to WCW. The two sides would not communicate for years as the Owen Hart tragedy also pushed the sides further apart. Nearly 13 years later, Hart returned to the WWE and had a major confrontation with Mr. McMahon over how he had treated Hart and his legendary family. It was monumental because Hart had previously badmouthed McMahon at every turn because of 'the Montreal Screw Job'.

As things spilled over to involve John Cena (who backed Hart) and Batista (who backed McMahon), it led to an eventual match between the two older men at WrestleMania 26. As McMahon made his way to the ring, he was followed by most of the Hart Family as they had been 'bought off' by McMahon. Bruce Hart was even the guest referee. But it didn't take long for the Harts to side with Bret as he finally got his revenge on Mr. McMahon.
