WWE Pay-Per-View Season 13 Episode 12 Survivor Series 1997

Survivor Series 1997 was the thirteenth annual professional wrestling pay-per-view event presented by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The event took place on November 9, 1997, at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This was a highly anticipated event and is still talked about to this day due to one of the most controversial moments in WWE history.

The main event of the show was a traditional 4-on-4 elimination match between the Team USA and Team Canada. Team Canada consisted of Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon, The British Bulldog, and Jim Neidhart, while Team USA was represented by Goldust, Vader, Steve Blackman, and Mark Mero. There were also several other elimination-style matches on the card, including a 4-on-4 women's elimination match and a 4-on-4 tag team elimination match.

However, the main talking point of the event is the infamous "Montreal Screwjob". The match was for the WWE Championship between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, with special guest referee, Earl Hebner. The match saw Bret Hart in control for the majority of the time, but things took a turn when Michaels locked in the Sharpshooter on Hart. Hebner signaled for the bell to ring, indicating that Hart had submitted and Michaels had won the match and the championship. However, Hart had not actually submitted, and was shocked and outraged by the decision.

The incident led to a fallout between Hart and WWE, with the wrestler eventually leaving the company and joining its rival, WCW. The Montreal Screwjob would go down in WWE history as one of the most controversial moments in the company's history, and it helped to elevate Shawn Michaels to even greater heights of stardom.

Overall, Survivor Series 1997 was an eventful show that is still remembered to this day. The Montreal Screwjob is still a topic of discussion amongst wrestling fans, and the matches on the card were also top-notch. If you are a fan of wrestling, then this episode is definitely one that you should not miss.
