• Hall Of Famer Claims Vince McMahon Didn’t Understand The Potential Of His Heel Character

During a recent appearance on the ‘q on cbc’ video podcast, 2-time WWE Hall Of Famer Bret Hart claimed that Vince McMahon did not understand the significance of his 1997 heel run, that saw Bret being a hated heel in the United States, but at the same time was treated as a babyface by the fans everywhere else on the planet.

Here’s what The Hitman said:

“It was just a great memory for me, and it was kinda like a chance for Canadians to, you know, give it to the Americans, and the Canadians got behind the role. It’s like, you know what, we’re gonna be bad guys with Bret Hart, cheering him on.

I don’t think Vince McMahon saw how big me being a Canadian guy bashing Americans was.”

This legendary 1997 heel run ended when Vince told Bret that he couldn’t afford his contract anymore, which then allowed Hart to sign with WCW.

The infamous Montreal Screwjob marked the end for Bret in the World Wrestling Federation and he wouldn’t return until 2010, when he defeated Vince at WrestleMania 26.
