Shawn Michaels reflects on his relationship with Hall of Famer after years of personal and professional heat
WWE legend Shawn Michaels recently opened up on his bond with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart after 25 years of the infamous 'Montreal Screwjob.'
At Survivor Series 1997, Bret Hart and The Heartbreak Kid faced each other for the WWE Championship. However, the catch of the match was that Hart was moving to WCW. Afraid that The Hitman would not drop the championship to Shawn Michaels, former CEO Vince McMahon double-crossed the Hall of Famer. He ordered the referee to ring the bell even though Hart hadn't tapped out to a Sharpshooter.
During a recent appearance on the Games with Names podcast, Michaels was asked about his relationship with The Hitman. The former world champion admitted the pair had come a long way since 1997.
"We saw each other at WrestleMania, and it was unbelievably nice, very pleasant. We are both in a great place in my life. I think he knows how important it is for us to be where we're at. Bret always had a very calming presence about him, and he always pats me on the shoulder and very quietly says, 'We're good, Shawn, we're good.' And I know that he means that." [H/T Wrestling News]
