Storylines that paid off here
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 at WrestleMania 13, reunited his brother Owen and brother-in-law the British Bulldog, and built a pro-Canadian Hart Foundation around his own family. For eight months the group was booed in the United States and cheered in Canada, peaking at Canadian Stampede in Calgary, until Brian Pillman's death and the Montreal Screwjob, five weeks apart, ended it.
