The Montreal Screwjob was the real life double-crossing of defending WWF Champion Bret Hart by Vince McMahon, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), during the main event match of the professional wrestling pay-per-view event Survivor Series held on November 9, 1997 at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec. A secret change of the match's pre-determined finish (known as a "screwjob" in professional wrestling parlance) was devised by McMahon and discussed with Hart's match opponent, Shawn Michaels. The plan was executed when the match referee, Earl Hebner, under orders from McMahon, called for the bell to ring and ended the match as Michaels held Hart in the Sharpshooter submission hold (Hart's signature finishing move), even though Hart had not submitted. Michaels was declared the victor by submission and crowned as the new WWF Champion, even as Hart and the audience demonstrated their outrage. The reason for the screwjob was rooted in Hart's decision to leave McMahon's company for its chief competitor, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Hart, who cited a clause in his contract that granted him "reasonable creative control", was steadfast in his refusal to lose a match hosted in his home country, Canada, especially against Shawn Michaels, with whom he did not get along. McMahon remained insistent that Hart should lose to Michaels in Montreal, fearing that his company's business would suffer if WCW announced Hart as its latest signing while he still held the WWF World title. Although Hart and McMahon agreed to a compromise on the match ending that allowed Hart to retain the title, McMahon was determined to remove the title from Hart. The screwjob has garnered a notorious legacy both on-screen and off, and was partly chronicled in the documentary film Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows. The far-reaching impact of the incident led to its adoption as a theme in matches and storylines of the WWF's Attitude Era and the creation of the character, "Mr. McMahon", the evil boss. Hart was ostracized from the WWF, while McMahon and Michaels continued to receive angry responses from audiences for many years. However, the relationship between Hart and McMahon later healed, culminating in Hart's induction on April

Was the Montreal screw job really a screw job or was it a work?
For more than a decade, the Montreal Screwjob has been a legendary night within professional wrestling. However, it has been recently speculated that it was in fact planned out as with many other story lines in professional wrestling with very few (as few as Hart and Vince alone) knowing the truth. Personally, I think it was in fact a "work" because Vince loves controversy and Bret loves being the victim (if you don't believe that, read Hart's book). Bret's timing of his documentary "Wrestling with Shadows" coinciding with the event seems suspicious as well.

Did Shawn Michaels know about the Montreal screw job?
Well first of all, As you can see through the match that HBK didn't have a clue about the screw job. It was Hart's last match in his hometown of Montreal, and he didn't want to drop the belt to Michaels because of the way HBK treated Bret. Therefore there was an agreement that HBK would have put Hart in a Sharpshooter when the ref was down and Bret would have countered it. Then HBK would have tapped out while the ref was still down. Then Hart would try and revive the ref but when he turns around he would get hit with Sweet Chin Music. An then a couple of minutes of brawling and then run-ins by DX and Hart Foundation would result the match in a DQ. However, at Survivor Series McMahon wanted to end the match when Michaels would apply the Sharpshooter making it look like Bret tapped. So The match kicks of and this is what actually happened. HHH kind of new about it but Michaels reaction to the entire thing just shows he never knew a thing. However, in a bio of HBK he said he knew but personally he didn't because knowone wanted to get to close to Bret because he would have knocked them out like he did to Vince. Answering the question, Shawn Michaels never knew anything about Montreal Screw Job. And if he does say he knew, then it is part of the Storyline.
