5 professional wrestling stories that would make great movies

#2 The Montreal Screwjob

The most infamous moment of real-life meeting scripted wrestling

In the thick of the Monday Night Wars, Bret Hart was the WWE Champion and was about to jump ship to WCW. He was to drop the belt to Shawn Michaels - a real-life and on-screen nemesis of The Hitman.

The Canadian, Hart agreed, under the condition that he wouldn't be dropping it at Survivor Series - which was happening in Canada - but rather the next night on Monday Night Raw. Everything seemed to be in order.

Except, Vince McMahon didn't want to risk that Bret could just turn up on WCW Monday Nitro with the WWE Championship instead. So, he devised a plan where he instructed the ref to ring the bell when Shawn locked Bret in the Sharpshooter even though The Hitman never tapped out.

Pandemonium broke out in the aftermath and it remains the greatest example of real-life meeting scripted performances that fateful night in 1997.

Sure, there's a documentary on the same but a feature film would do the event far more justice.
