In 1997 Thankgiving eve The World of the WWE and Pro Wrestling Experence a shocking Developement that would change the cource of wrestling history forever. Bret hart, Shawn michaels, and Vince Mcmahon would tell a story about Respect, Trust, and Betrayal. In The 1997 Survivor Series, Bret hart was scheduled to wrestle Shawn Michaels for the then WWF championship in a sold out montreal Civic Center in Montreal Canada. Rumors were going around the world of bret hart last match in the WWF for weeks prior to the Survivor Series, everyone didn't beleive it.This all started back a few years ago when Vince mcmahon offered bret hart a 20 year contract for alot of money for bret hart to stay in the WWF. Bret hart accept it, then a few days later bret hart got a call from eric bischoff with the same idea but a little different, eric offered bret alot of money but a shorter working period, bret hart told eric he'd have to think about it, then bret told vince about the phone call from eric bischoff and WCW, vince was shocked about it after accepting bret's contract for 20 million dollars.
A few months later bret told by vince to turn heel during a feud with stone cold steve austin, in hopes to build austin for a future WWE Championship reign in the near future, bret accept it, then on an episode of raw, bret hart turned heel by telling the american wrestling fans that because of their disrespect to him, for all of the american wrestling fans to kiss his a**. After raw shawn michaels was told to turn heel also, but declined because of the positive feedback he recieved during Summerslam. Vince had to tell bret to turn back to a face once more, but was very upset over the fact that he was being tossed back and forth. Vince also told bret that he'd have too lose the WWF title at the Survivor Series to Shawn at montreal. bret declined and said" I can't do that", so vince decided to do the one thing that still til this day shocked the Hell out of every wrestling fan in the WWF, he screw bret Hart in Montreal of the WWF championship, and Earl Hebner(Mr. Contriversal) help him do it.
til this day after 14 years Survivor Series has took a different meaning to pro wrestling and myself. Wrestling with Shadows gives you a clearer perspective on the event's that lead to this Contriversal moment. it also has a new documentary of life and death of owen hart as a added bonus, two documentaries, one DVD Collection.
This DVD collection is a must have for every bret hart fan......
