WWE Twitterati look back on the Montreal Screwjob

The incident that changed wrestling forever turned 25 today The Universe has taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Montreal Screwjob taking place 25 years ago today. The Montreal Screwjob happened at WWE's Survivor Series event in 1997, where Bret Hart defended the WWE title against Shawn Michaels. The event, obviously taking place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, was on Bret's home soil, and he didn't want to drop the belt to Shawn Michaels there. This worried WWE higher-ups, who thought that Bret may sign for Eric Bischoff and WCW while still WWE Champion. This led Vince to call an end to the match during a Sharpshooter spot, giving Michaels a spontaneous win. Bret departed the company soon after. Now, the WWE Universe and wrestling fans across the board have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the industry-changing moment. Taking to their Twitter accounts, wrestling fans have spent the day dedicating posts to the historic screwjob, which took place 25 years ago today. One fan shared a video, making mention of JR's shocked reaction on commentary in his caption. 25 years ago at Survivor Series:
