<p><a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/kevin-nash">Kevin Nash</a> doesn’t think wrestling fans will ever stop talking about the Montreal Screwjob.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/bret-hart">Bret Hart</a>’s last WWE Championship reign ended with the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series 1997. <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/vince-mcmahon">Vince McMahon</a> had referee Earl Hebner ring the bell before Hart tapped out during his world title match against <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/shawn-michaels">Shawn Michaels</a>. That night, Hart uppercut McMahon backstage before exiting the company for WCW.</p>
<p>Over the years, many fans and wrestlers have wrestled about whether the screwjob was real or part of a storyline. One of them is Kevin Nash, who spoke about it on the latest episode of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVJen1MI2Ug" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kliq THIS podcast.</a> He told host Sean Oliver that fans will never stop speaking about the Montreal Screwjob, calling it wrestling’s version of the JFK assassination.</p>
<p>“The Montreal Screwjob is our JFK assassination. Right?” Kevin Nash said. “They’ll talk about it forever. “I don’t think any of us are a hundred percent sure that it wasn’t…that it’s not a work.”</p>

<p>Kevin Nash discussed the idea of <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/the-undertaker">The Undertaker</a> beating Bret Hart that night instead. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels famously hated each other and neither man wanted to put the other over that night.</p>
<p>A listener suggested that The Undertaker face Bret Hart instead. Kevin Nash commented how that would be just booking around Bret Hart’s refusal to put over Michaels, rather than crafting a compelling story. He added that The Undertaker wasn’t a character that would need or fit having the WWE title at that time.</p>
<p>“But you have to realize, that’s the booking to get around Bret, not booking Taker. If you’re sitting in a creative conversation with one other person, and you look in the locker room, you say, ‘Now which person, especially given their gimmick, does not need nor really fit with the world title?’ Taker.”</p>
