In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, former WWE and IMPACT Wrestling referee Earl Hebner stated why he believes that Bret “The Hitman” Hart knew what was about to happen with Shawn Michaels regarding the Montreal Screwjob incident at the WWF Survivor Series pay-per-view back in 1997.

“I think both of them knew, to be honest with you. Why would you let a man put you in your own finish? I’m not going to lie about it anymore. I’ve been trying to protect Bret but I can bet you 110% that Shawn Michaels knew what was going on. I have different feelings about ‘he did know or he didn’t know,’ to be honest with you. Just the rumors for the last 18-19 years, it’s almost been questionable that both of them knew.”
