To
wrestling
fans
the
1997
Survivor
Series,
held
in
Montreal,
will
forever
be
remembered
as
the
most
infamous
match
in
wrestling
history.
The
most
popular
wrestler
in
Canadian
history
(Bret
Hart)
was
stripped
of
the
coveted
World
Wrestling
Federation
championship
by
Canada's
most
hated
wrestler
(Shawn
Michaels),
a
corrupt
referee
(Earl
Hebner),
and
a
determined
promoter
(Vince
McMahon).
When

a

in

of
Bret
Hart,
they
shot
a
story
that
makes
most
movie
storylines
look
as
thin
as
the

you're

there
