At the 1997 WWF Survivor Series event the world witnessed one of the most shocking wrestling moments as the company owner Vince McMahon instructed a referee to end a title match prematurely.

As a result then champion and worldwide superstar athlete Bret 'The Hitman' Hart lost the belt in his hometown of Montreal in an unexpected turn and cried foul play before lashing out physically. And the fans nearly rioted, seeing through the visage that is the wrestling business to the cold dark business motivated heart beneath.
