Bret hart daily mail
A fascinating topic!
Bret "Hitman" Hart is a Canadian retired professional wrestler, best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE). He is a 12-time world champion and is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
In 1997, Hart was involved in a highly publicized controversy with the WWF, which led to his departure from the company. The controversy centered around the Montreal Screwjob, a botched finish to his match against Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1997. Hart had agreed to drop the WWF Championship to Michaels, but the match was suddenly ended early, with Michaels being declared the winner, without Hart's knowledge or consent.
The incident was widely reported in the media, including the Daily Mail, a British tabloid newspaper. The Daily Mail published several articles about the controversy, including one titled "Bret Hart's bitter feud with WWF bosses" and another titled "The Montreal Screwjob: How WWF's greed and arrogance led to a wrestling legend's downfall".
Here are some excerpts from the Daily Mail articles:
- "Bret Hart's bitter feud with WWF bosses" (November 1997): "Bret Hart, the WWF's champion wrestler, has been at war with the company's bosses over a botched finish to his match against Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series. Hart, 34, claims he was 'screwed' out of the title by WWF owner Vince McMahon and his team, who he accuses of being 'arrogant' and 'greedy'."
- "The Montreal Screwjob: How WWF's greed and arrogance led to a wrestling legend's downfall" (December 1997): "The Montreal Screwjob was a turning point in the WWF's history, marking the beginning of the end of Bret Hart's reign as champion. But it was also a symptom of a deeper problem - the company's obsession with making money, regardless of the cost to its wrestlers. Hart, who had been with the WWF for 12 years, was fed up with the company's treatment of its wrestlers and decided to leave, taking his talents to WCW."
