 Bret screwed Bret? After seeing this you'll believe different. March 9, 2008
THE MAIN MAN (Central Bookin', NY)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you're reading this review then you have to be either a wrestling or Bret Hart fan. And you must remember the "Montreal Screw Job". The one event that changed professional wrestling forever. And in my opinion should teach every wrestler in the business. Your career can end suddenly and nothing is promised. Especially if you're working for Vince.
To all the wrestling fans out there who hate Vince McMahon for god knows whatever reasons. After seeing this you'll probably hate him even more. This DVD is narrated by Bret Hart and he explains the beginning of his career. The forced transition from "baby face" to heel" and how it effected his career in a negative way. And everything behind the "Montreal Screw Job". Also his siblings speak on the abuse they endured being a wrestling family growing up.
This is a very interesting story and you'll realize wrestling is a bit more real then you think. But in my personal opinion Vince is a rat. There was no justification in his actions at all. Vince was scared that Bret was taking his belt to WCW. Anyone who is familiar with the "Monday Night Wars" would understand how devastating that would have been to his company. But him and Bret already worked out a solution. So it really shouldn't have ended this way.
This DVD is a great watch especially for fans who clearly remembered these events and always wondered what the hell happened. You get bits and pieces on other wrestling documentaries but here you get the full scoop. I highly recommend this DVD along with "Beyond the Mat". That is an excellent full inside view on the back stage events that take place. The feature is about 90 minutes and has no extras at all. It's definitely worth seeing. I can't stress it enough.
The Day that Changed Wrestling History. November 29, 2007

Hello Friends,
Now, As of this month we have been through 10 years after November 9, 1997 or infamous Montreal Screw Job.
Try to find this product whether on VHS / DVD or whatever form. Why?
Because :
1. You will see that pro wrestling is real in many shapes and forms. Yes, it is predetermined, the moves maybe fabricated, but it truly does take a real toll on the wrestlers bodies.
2. You will see what really happens backstage without sugar coating.
3. You will see how the politics in wrestling play a major role in the outcome of the matches.
4. You can tell that bussiness is in the dumps today because of some of the desions that Vince McMahon has made on November 9, 1997 and beyond.
5. History can easlily be repeated if the current or future roster of talent is not careful.
6. What you hear or see on TV may not really be the truth. IMHO opinion, Vince can do better without both HHH & Shawn Michaels.
Folks, the documetary is truly a keeper, I have watched several times.
I understand that Vince has the right to protect his bussiness, but he could have made a different action then Screwing Bret in his home town.
How?
Well, Vince was scared that Bret would take the belt to WCW (like when Alundra Blaze threw the WWF championship belt in the garbage can on TV). But, I mean come on. They could have easily like agreed bewteen Vince and Bret that the match would end with an interfernece at the end of the champsionship bout. Then Vince would take the belt from Bret before leaving the building.
The next night on Raw Vince would approach the fans on RAW, and play a pre-tapped interview where Bret decides to let go of the belt for any given reason. Bret then goes to WCW (as agreed between him & Vince).
But to see what Vince has done, he made it clear that no one is safe, and that he is truly selfish and truly unprofessional.
I have for years enjoyed watching WWF/WWE, but after that dark day, I have lost interest. Why?
Because:
1. Lack of competion betwen wrestling organizations (No more WCW). Eating McDonalds can be cool, but eating it 3 times a week will make you sick.
2. The roster in the WWE lacks the same charisma that we saw in the 80's & 90's.
3. The storylines are boring and repetive.
4. The shows rely now mostly on Divas, immorale angles and has lost the faamily values (knowing the fact that merchandise is running wild because of the children).
5. Pushing related stars & and allowing them to be bookers (HHH), and burrying legends (Ric Flair).
6. WWE could have dones something to minimize the huge number of deaths in pro wrestling. By at least minimizing the tour days, or at least helping create a retirment fund where an amount is deducted from their salalry on monthly basis, or having them contribute one way or another in the wrestling bussiness. Or at least being more strict on the drug testing.
In the end, I hope you do enjoy the documentary, I & many friends of mine did. And the bottom line is, if you enjoy or enjoyed wrestling. And if you were or still is a Bret Hart fan, this documentary is for you !
While you are at it, grab Bret Hart's autobiography, I truly enjoyed reading it.
All the best,
Nawaf
 One Of Wrestling's Darkest Periods May 26, 2008
Ervin Griffin (Bluefield, WV)

Besides the tragic death of Owen Hart and the recent Chris Benoit murder/suicide, this video shows the darkest period in the career of Bret "Hitman" Hart and in wrestling as a whole.
Up until that, we get a great look at the behind the scenes workings of the business and of some of the wrestlers! As the film goes on, we get to see that something is wrong in the relationship between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon which leads up to the big "Montreal Screwjob" in November 1997. Even Bret's wife at the time accussed HHH and Shawn of being in on it (which we now know they were)!
Personal note, I think both parties were wrong. Bret, knowing he was leaving, should've jobbed the title. However, if Vince told him that it was going to be a Double DQ, then that's how it should've went down. He could've did an angle where Bret gets stripped right after the match due to his conduct in the match or something.
I am no booker but I would've left the Double DQ intact, then either do the strip angle or have Bret do an angle where he pretty much says "screw WWF" and drops the belt at McMahon's feet and leaves! From there, I would've vacated the title and did the Royal Rumble thing were the winner gets the title shot and make the Casket Match with Undertaker and Shawn Michaels where the winner of that would be in the title match at WrestleMania as well!
Back to this video, its worth a look. No matter whether you love or hate Vince McMahon or Bret Hart, this was definitely one of the darkest periods of wrestling ever. Both sides suffered on this one. Obviously Bret moreso than Vince but neither left this story unscathed. See it.
