Traina Thoughts: It's The 20th Anniversary Of The Montreal Screwjob

1. On November 9, 1997, at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Vince McMahon made the decision to go off script and ordered referee Earl Hebner call for the bell while Shawn Michaels had Bret Hart in the Sharpshooter at the Survivor Series. That moment changed the entire business of professional wrestling in a way nobody, including McMahon, could've ever imagined.

It wasn't so much about what took place that Sunday night. It was what happened the next day on Monday Night Raw, when McMahon gave the famous, "Bret Screwed Brett" interview to Jim Ross.
