Survivor Series (1997)
The 1997 Survivor Series was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the American promotion World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and presented by Milton Bradley's Karate Fighters. It was the 11th annual Survivor Series and took place on Sunday, November 9, 1997, at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This was the first Survivor Series to not be held during the week of Thanksgiving in the United States, as it was held over two weeks before the American holiday. The event's tagline "Gang Rulz" referred to the various wrestling stables that feuded with each other heading into this event.
Seven matches were contested on the event's card. The main event saw Bret Hart defend the WWF Championship against Shawn Michaels. It was the last of three WWF Championship matches between the two, who had previously headlined the 1992 Survivor Series and 1996's WrestleMania XII together. Michaels won the title controversially when Vince McMahon ordered referee Earl Hebner to end the match as Michaels held Hart in Hart's finishing maneuver, the Sharpshooter, even though Hart had not submitted. This incident became known as the Montreal Screwjob and marked Hart's last appearance on WWF/E programming until 2006. This was also the last time that Hart held a title in the company until May 2010, and the last time he headlined a WWF/E pay-per-view until SummerSlam 2010. A video package aired immediately before the Hart vs. Michaels match, featuring the first use of the "WWF Attitude" scratch logo.
The undercard featured "Stone Cold" Steve Austin versus Owen Hart for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, Kane versus Mankind, and four Survivor Series matches.
Survivor Series is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event, produced every November by the American promotion World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) since 1987, generally held around Thanksgiving in the United States. In what has become the second longest-running pay-per-view event in history (behind WWE's WrestleMania), it is one of the promotion's original four pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, referred to as the "Big Four", and was considered one of the "Big Five" PPVs with the addition of King of the Ring in 1993. The event is traditionally characterized by having Survivor Series matches, which are tag team elimination matches that typically pits teams of four or five wrestlers against each other. The 11th Survivor Series event was scheduled to be held on November 9, 1997, at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This was the first Survivor Series to not be held during the week of Thanksgiving as it was held over two weeks before the American holiday.
Survivor Series consisted of professional wrestling matches involving wrestlers from pre-existing feuds and storylines that played out on Raw is War — WWF's primary television program.
The storyline feud between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels began after Michaels became the number one contender to the WWF Championship by defeating The Undertaker in the first Hell in a Cell match at Badd Blood: In Your House. On the following night's episode of Raw is War, while Michaels, alongside his friend Hunter Hearst Helmsley were blurting out insults to Vince McMahon by the announce table, Hart, alongside members of The Hart Foundation, appeared with Hart calling Michaels nothing more than a degenerate before challenging Triple H to a match later that night. Hart later lost to Helmsley by countout after Michaels hit him with Sweet Chin Music while Hart was arguing with Helmsley's bodyguard Chyna.
Immediately after the Steve Austin vs. Owen Hart match and before the Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels match, a video package was aired featuring promos from Ahmed Johnson, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Faarooq, Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels discussing their real-life athletic backgrounds and injuries suffered, ending with Bret Hart saying "Try lacing my boots", and finally with the first use of the "WWF Attitude" scratch logo displayed on the screen. In later re-airings of the video package, Hart's tagline was replaced by Austin (also saying "Try lacing my boots").
In the main event, Shawn Michaels defeated Bret Hart at 19:58 and became the new WWF Champion, after Michaels locked Hart into the sharpshooter. Even though Hart had not submitted, Michaels was declared the winner, as Earl Hebner, on direct orders from Vince McMahon, called for the bell.
