DEADLOCK Podcast #323 (Video)
WWF Survivor Series 1997 is known for one thing, The Montreal Screwjob. This was the case where Bret Hart was leaving the WWF to join the WCW. At the time, Bret was the WWF Champion, but he didn’t want to lose the WWF Championship in Canada. Especially to Shawn Michaels.
During the match, Michaels put Bret Hart in the Sharpshooter. Vince McMahon, who was ringside, ordered referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell even though Bret hadn’t submitted. Shawn Michaels was declared the new WWF Champion. That was The Montreal Screwjob. Now on November 17th,1997 on WWF Monday Night RAW, the fallout from the infamous incident begins. Vince McMahon sits down in a one on one interview with Jim Ross. During this candid conversation McMahon explains that Bret Hart refused to lose the WWF Championship before leaving the company to join their rival competition, WCW. He said that Bret put himself above the company and that he had no choice but to protect the company. Vince says, “Bret screwed Bret. I have no sympathy whatsoever for Bret.” Also, as the show opens, the Intercontinental Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin calls out The Rock. The Nation of Domination come to the ring and start attacking Stone Cold! The numbers game got to him allowing The Rock to steal the IC Championship Title Belt. In the main event The Rock battles Dude Love in a non title match, but it ends when The Nation of Domaination get involved. Stone Cold makes the save, but The Rock is able to escape with the IC Title. Plus, DX attack Sargent Slaughter leading to a match at the next PPV, Kane destroys The Headbangers, and Vader takes on “The Artist Formerly Known As” Goldust.

The Archive version must have been the Network version, unless I straight up hallucinated the Karate Fighters ads when watching a VHS rip. Because those were things worth hallucinating about, I guess.
Hmm… Tony isn’t here for the HBK slander episode. I wonder why?

"I'm trying to think of a nicer way to explain this match, it's bad though"
How the hell do you have Vader and Butterbean on the same show and not do anything with that? Guy like me would have had them do the Joe/Morishima angle 9 years early
