Today's Blast From the past is an interesting Topic that kinda Changed a WWE Superstars personna from babyface to Heel, and later his Contravercial Departure. Bret The hitman Hart was just returning to the WWE after a long vacation, His last WWE Appearence was at Wrestlemania XII, and he wrestled Shawn michaels in a iron man Match for the WWE championship, which he ended up losing that night. Bret Hart's return was at the 1996 Survivor Series against Stone Cold Steve Austin in a long awaited match that ended up starting a memorable Feud that set up the Tracks Sort of Speaking to Bret hart's Long awaited and most Shocking Heel Turn. The Next PPV was the Hump that Broke the Cammel's back, WWE In Your House: It's Time saw a WWE Championship match Between Sycho Sid vs. Bret Hart. The match was a Classic from start to Finish until a Curtain individual got involved by the name Shawn michael. Shawn Michaels Cost Bret Hart the match and an oppertunity to become the WWE Champion once again. In the months that followed into 1997, Bret Hart character changed from Fan to Crybaby sort of speaking.... At the Royal Rumble, Bret Hart Wrestled in a 30-man Rumble match for a chance to reclaim the WWE Championship, but it was short until Stone Cold Steve Austin eliminated Bret Hart in Contravercial Fashion. Bret hart was Fuming and Chopping at the WWE Officials about the elimination of Stone Cold, but the Referees didn't see it.. WWE President Gorilla Monsoon had made a decission the next Night on Raw to stripped Stone Cold from his Royal Rumble win and declared a Final Four Elimination Match to determine the WWE Championship which was declared vacant by Shawn michaels the following week. At the Final Four Bret Hart had another oppertunity to become the WWE Championship, and made good on his promise, as he became the WWE Champion for the 4th Time by eliminating The Undertaker. The Following night Bret Hart was scheduled to defend the WWE Title against Sycho Sid on Monday Night Raw, and what was about to happen next only feuled bret anger and possible Heel Turn, Bret hart lost the WWE championship to Sycho Sid again with outside interference by Stone Cold Steve Austin.. A Few Months later WWE Officials had announced that Bret hart would Face Stone Cold Steve Austin in a Submission match at Wrestlemania XIII. On that night, Bret Hart Anger was unleashed in brutal Fashion as he Beat Stone Cold Steve Austin by the Referee decission because Stone Cold passed Out from tha Pain of the Sharpshooter. Bret hart's Heel turn came to pass the Next Night on Raw as he told the American Wrestling Fans to Kiss his ASS, and a few Months later won the WWE Championship for a 5th Time at Summerslam '97 against the Undertaker.
The events that lead to this moment in WWE History would later shape the Company Fortune in the on going Monday Night Wars with then rival company WCW. When Bret hart arrived at WCW his career started right when he left off, and ended up refereing Two WCW Matches at The PPV Starrcade '97. Later on Bret hart would win a collective of WCW Championships, and cemented his Legacy among the All time Greats in Pro Wrestling History, bret hart would eventualy end his career short during a match against goldberg and ended up suffering a concussion that would land the Hitman in the Hospital months later after suffering A stroke. In 2010 Bret hart would return to where all the contravercy Started, back in the WWE, and ended up with Unfinished Business. Bret Hart confronted Shawn Michaels for the first time in 12 years, and ended up burying the hatchet with shawn, on that same year shawn Michaels retired with his head held high, but Bret Hart frustrations wasn't with shawn, it was with mr. mcmahon, and just when you thought things couldn't get anymore worse it did... Mr. Mcmahon ended up continuing the feud with bret and colminating the finally a Wrestlemania XXVI. Bret hart beat Mr. Mcmahon and ended a 12 year feud that not only sealed the fate of the hitman, but also ended a life Long tradgedy to the Hart Family Legacy. Since 1997, The Hart family would lose some of their members in the process of bret harts departure from the WWE.

In 2002 The British Bulldog Davy Boy Smith died of a heart Attack, the results of the autopsy was Drug Over. in 2001, Bret Hart Mother Helen Hart died, and in 2003 Stu Hart died of a stroke. all of These tradgedy's happened after The infamous montreal Screw job at The Survivor Series.. so Enclosing, The events of 1997 will forever be remembered in the harts of the wrestling fans everywhere.. But to me these events were just stepping stones on a Train Track that lead bret hart from Victory to Tradgedy to utter Hart wrenching Nightmare that almost ended the life of the hitman.
