Few moments in wrestling history have been as pivotal as the Montreal Screwjob. Expecting his WWF Title defense against Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1997 to end in a double DQ, Bret instead found himself on the receiving end of the most notorious shoot in modern wrestling history. Caught in his own Sharpshooter submission hold, the referee unexpectedly called for the bell at the behest of Vince McMahon, who was standing at ringside to make sure his champion didn't walk out the door to WCW with that title around his waist.Quite a lot changed in the WWF in the years after Bret's departure, mainly the company's transition into the Attitude Era, a style of presentation Bret was vehemently against. But what would have been different if Bret hadn't left the WWF that night? Probably quite a lot, since much of what happened during the early part of the Attitude Era was the result of the vacuum that was created when Bret left. This book takes you back in time to late 1997, and shows how different things could have been if Bret Hart stayed in the WWF and remained one of its headline stars.

Booking a professional wrestling company is a tough job. It's not easy trying to come up with storylines that would satisfy the three main goals of making sense, making money, and making everyone involved come out looking as strong as possible. Sometimes you get lucky and you hit on something great that draws you a ton of money, and sometimes the ideas you think are absolute genius completely crash and burn the instant they land in front of a paying crowd.This book takes us back in time to some situations that worked better on paper than they did in practice, and lets us take another stab at them with the power of 20/20 hindsight vision. What if Hulk Hogan didn't go to WCW in 1994? How could ROH have been booked differently during the HDNet era? How might WCW have tried to rebuild after the badly-botched Starrcade 1997 Pay Per View?This book not only attempts to answer those questions, it also features the first edition of the Book Like WWE Challenge, where we take a group of talented stars with tons of potential, and...well, book them like WWE would! Nonsensical turns, an evil Commissioner, a glass ceiling, and more gimmick matches than you can shake a stick at are all part of the fun!This book contains the following bonus features:-The Nature Boy Comes Home: Ric Flair's 1993 Return To WCW-The 6 Biggest Failed Attempts To Create The Next Big Superstar

Perhaps the most major, industry shifting event of the 90s took place in May of 1996 when Scott Hall and Kevin Nash jumped from the WWF to WCW, presenting themselves as outsiders and invading WCW in an attempt to destroy it from the inside. Eventually, Hulk Hogan turned heel and joined the group in shocking fashion, and the three of them formed the legendary New World Order. The feud between WCW and the NWO changed the way professional wrestling was presented, and became the storyline by which WCW would come to be defined by. The interest it drew caused Monday Nitro to rocket past Monday Night Raw in the ratings, leading the long-standing competition between the WWF and WCW to become an all-out war for supremacy. But what if the NWO never happened? What if Hall & Nash never came to WCW, Hogan never turned heel, and WCW continued on as it had been? All the existing storylines in WCW when Hall and Nash showed up were completely dropped as the focus shifted to WCW vs NWO, and many of them were never resolved. This book explores what might have been if the NWO never existed, and where WCW might have gone had everything continued as it had before May 27, 1996.

The past thirty years of the wrestling business have been a very tumultuous time, as what was once a regional business grew into a national, and eventually global, entertainment industry. That history is loaded with pivotal moments where one slight change could have had a massive ripple effect that completely changed the landscape of wrestling as we know it today.This collecting of Wrestling History Revisited titles looks at many such pivotal moments in the history of WCW. How would things have been different if Hulk Hogan had never gone to WCW? What if the NWO invasion never happened? What would WCW storylines have looked like if they survived past March of 2001? How might they have tried to recover after the disastrous Hogan-Sting match at Starrcade 1997? What if Sid Vicious had never been fired after his hotel brawl with Arn Anderson? What if the WWF bought the remains of Jim Crockett Promotions in 1988 instead of 2001?This book explores each of these scenarios to determine what might, and very easily could, have been.

It is, without question, an incident that defined an era in sports entertainment and marked - if not tainted - the legacies of two of the greatest professional wrestlers in modern history. It was a memorable and some say disgraceful event that is universally known today by just one word: Montreal.The host city of the 1997 Survivor Series provided the location for a scandal the likes of which sports entertainment had never seen before and almost certainly never will again. Yet fifteen years after Vince McMahon perpetrated the ultimate con against Bret Hart on his native Canadian soil, the controversy remains.To some, the claim upon which this work is based is every bit as controversial as the finish to the main event that night in Montreal. But the facts continue to point to what is definitely the biggest scandal in wrestling history - but possibly not for the reason most presently recognize."You screwed Bret! You screwed Bret!"It's the chant that Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon will be forced to hear wherever they go for the rest of their lives regardless of how much either man repents or accomplishes. Their collusion in Montreal will haunt their respective legacies forever.But did they really screw Bret?"If Bret was in on this," a WWE source speculates, "Bret may be the guy who screwed all of us. He may have screwed us into believing he was screwed."Today, Bret Hart has finally made peace with Shawn Michaels. The same goes for Vince McMahon. And, by most accounts, all parties involved have moved forward in their lives. But our collective memories refuse to relinquish images from that night in Montreal. And until the real story is told, closure may never come."Inside The Montreal Screw Job: Who Really Got Screwed in the WWE?" is a compelling and completely unauthorized look at what may have actually happened at Survivor Series 1997. Derived from exclusive interviews, extensive investigative research, and a healthy dose of common sense, this gripping ebook from Sports Entertainment Publishing is a must-read for wrestling fans everywhere.Note: This unauthorized work is not endorsed by or affiliated with WWE, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon or any representatives thereof.

The WWF was struggling to find its identity in 1993, and made a lot of really bad moves trying. Lex Luger's sudden face turn as an All-American hero riding the Lex Express didn't get results, Bret Hart was dropped from the WWF Title picture despite being the most over guy in the company, and many of the underneath feuds that were at least somewhat interesting were just abruptly dropped.The WWF obviously turned things around in the late 90s when the Attitude Era hit, and one of the most important developments of that period was the company's discovery of the gimmick match. Sure, gimmick matches had been around for decades, but they didn't really become a regular part of the show until the Attitude Era, and they ended up becoming instrumental in a lot of the period's key moments.So what would have happened if gimmick matches came to the WWF en masse in 1993? The period from Wrestlemania 9 to Survivor Series 1993 was notoriously dull, but would that have been different if Survivor Series was specifically built up as a PPV filled with gimmick matches? This book looks at what might have happened if Survivor Series 1993 included a Last Man Standing Taped Fist match between Mr Perfect and Diesel, a falls count anywhere match featuring the Steiners, and a No Holds Barred Streetfight between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Yokozuna for the WWF Title!

Sid Vicious, long considered one of the most physically imposing big men in wrestling, was supposed to split with his partner Big Van Vader in 1993 before going on to defeat him for the WCW World Title at Starrcade 1993. That never happened because Sid nearly stabbed Arn Anderson to death with a pair of scissors in a fight at a hotel during a tour of England. Arn was badly hurt, Sid was fired immediately, and WCW went in an entirely different direction by having Ric Flair beat Vader at Starrcade instead. Sid did eventually return to WCW years later and finally won the WCW World Title in 2000, but what if that fight with Arn Anderson never happened? How would WCW have looked if 1994 began with Sid Vicious on top, and Ric Flair in the midcard where he was originally intended to be? What else might have been different if the chain reaction of changes set off by Sid's exit never happened? This book takes us back in time to see what might have come if we had gotten Sid Vicious: WCW World Champion in 1993.

After spending enormous sums of money to buy up dying territories and expand their business in the wake of the WWF's national expansion, Jim Crockett Promotions found themselves in an insurmountable financial hole, and were forced to sell the company to Turner Broadcasting, who reshaped it into the entity we would come to know as World Championship Wrestling.But what if Turner didn't buy Jim Crockett Promotions in 1988? What if Vince McMahon decided to make a grab for the assets and buy WCW thirteen years before he actually did in 2001? This book imagines that very scenario, absorbing WCW into the WWF as it existed in November of 1988, and integrating its wrestlers into the storylines leading into Wrestlemania 5 at Trump Plaza.
