Bret Hitman Hart vs. Shawn Michaels The Heartbreak Kid (Jul 1992 – Nov 1997)
A five-year rivalry between the WWF's two defining New Generation stars ended with Vince McMahon secretly ordering the bell rung on Bret Hart's own Sharpshooter, handing Shawn Michaels the WWF Championship without Hart's knowledge or submission in Hart's home country of Montreal, an incident that broke apart a real friendship, birthed the villainous Mr. McMahon character, and is still argued about by everyone involved.

The Hart Foundation vs. The United States (Mar 1997 – Nov 1997)
Bret Hart turned heel by attacking Steve Austin's fans instead of Austin, reformed the Hart Foundation with his real family, and spent 1997 getting cheered across Canada and Britain while getting booed everywhere in the United States, an angle that peaked in front of a delirious Calgary crowd and ended in the same building where Brian Pillman was found dead and, five weeks later, in Montreal.
