WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart revisited the infamous Montreal Screwjob from WWE Survivor Series 1997 during a recent virtual signing with K & S Wrestlefest. Many years later, Bret Hart addressed referee Earl Hebner about the match, expressing his belief that the entire event was a work.
Bret Hart denied Hebner’s implication that Hebner told the K & S crew that Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels, and Hart were involved in the whole thing. According to Hart, “That’s not true. He should know better about that. I was well under the understanding that they were going to try and screw me that day somehow. I was just determined not to let it happen.”
Hart expanded on Hebner, “Earl is a victim of being a coward. I told Earl the night before. I said, ‘They’re going to ask you to screw me tomorrow.’” He added, “There’s not much to refute about anything anymore. It’s all black and white.”
Hart eventually made a comeback to WWE and made amends with both Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon regarding the incident.
