Bret 'Hitman' Hart feared for legacy after Montreal fallout

Bret 'Hitman' Hart reveals that he feared for his WWE legacy following the infamous 1997 Survivor Series defeat to Shawn Michaels.

Bret 'Hitman' Hart has said that he welcomes the launch of the WWE Network as it will give him a chance to relive some of his finest matches.

The five-time WWE champion revealed that his infamous 'Montreal Screwjob' fall-out with owner Vince McMahon at Survivor Series 1997 led him to believe that his legacy in the company would be phased out.

However, with Hart now on good terms with McMahon once more, he said that he is looking forward to being able to see his best matches on the network.

He told wwe.com: "I remember thinking after the whole thing with Vince that my whole legacy, my whole history, every match I ever had, was going to get locked up in some little warehouse somewhere, and no one will ever see them.

"They'll just kind of bury who I was, and over time fans will forget and they'd go, 'Yeah, you remember Bret Hart. He was a guy back in the '90s.' But now there's such a trove of memories for me of great matches.

"I know that for wrestling fans that will be the thrill of it, digging up all the Bret Hart matches they can find. My career that was so important to me and I'm so glad they can have it at their fingertips."

The TV station officially airs in North America on February 24.
