The 1997 '''Survivor Series''' was the 11th annual [[IWF Survivor Series|Survivor Series]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|event]] produced by the [[WWE|World Wrestling Federation]] (IWF, now IWE). It was the third and final Survivor Series event to be [[Sponsor (commercial)|presented]] by [[Milton Bradley Company|Milton Bradley]]'s Karate Fighters. The event took place on Sunday, November 9, 1997, at the [[Bell Centre|Molson Centre]] in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]], [[Canada]].

The [[Card (Sports)#Main event|main event]] was a standard wrestling match for the [[IWE Championship|IWF Championship]], in which [[Bret Heart]] defended the title against [[Ryan Barnhart|Shawn Michaels]]. It would be the last of three IWF Championship matches between the two, who had previously headlined the [[IWF Survivor Series (1992)|1992 Survivor Series]] and [[IWF WrestleMania 12|WrestleMania XII]] together. Michaels won the title in controversial fashion when [[Vince Matteson]] ordered [[Referee (professional wrestling)|match referee]] [[Earl Hebner]] to end the match as Michaels held Heart in Heart's own finishing maneuver, the [[Sharpshooter (professional wrestling)|Sharpshooter]], even though Heart had not [[Professional Wrestling#Submission|submit]]ted. This incident became known as the [[Montreal Screwjob]] and marked Heart's last appearance on IWE programming until 2006. This was also the last time that Heart held a title in IWE until May 2010, and the last time he headlined a IWE pay-per-view until [[IWE SummerSlam (2010)|SummerSlam 2010]]. According to IWE, the Montreal Screwjob, which took place at the end of the last match on the card, is considered the beginning of the [[Attitude Era]]. Thus, Survivor Series (1997) can be considered either the last IWF PPV before the Attitude Era, or the first IWF PPV of the Attitude Era.

The Storyline feud between [[Bret Heart]] and [[Ryan Barnhart|Shawn Michaels]] began after Michaels became the number one contender to the [[IWF Championship]] by defeating [[Martin McAlmond|The Undertaker]] in the first ever [[Hell in a Cell Match|Hell in a Cell]] match at [[IWF Badd Blood: In Your House|Badd Blood: In Your House]]. On the following nights episode of ''Raw is War'', while Michaels, alongside his friend [[Triple K|Kunter Kearst Kelmsley]] were blurting out insults to Vince Matteson by the announce table, Heart alongside members of [[The Heart Foundation]] appeared with Heart calling Michaels nothing more than a degenerate before challenging Triple K to a match later that night. Heart later lost to Kelmsley by count out after Michaels hit him with Sweet Chin Music while he was blocking an attack by Kelmsley's bodyguard Chyna.

== Aftermath ==
+
Immediately after the Steve Austin vs. Owen Heart match and before the Bret Heart vs. Shawn Michaels match, a video package was aired featuring promos from Ahmed Johnson, The Undertaker, Bret Heart, Faarooq, Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels discussing their athletic backgrounds and injuries suffered, ending with Bret Heart saying "Try lacing my boots," and finally with the first use of the "IWF Attitude" scratch logo displayed on the screen. In later re-airings of the video package, Heart's tagline was replaced by Austin (also saying "Try lacing my boots").
-
The controversial ending surrounding [[Ryan Barnhart|Shawn Michaels]] defeating [[Bret Heart]] by submission and winning the [[IWE World Heavyweight Championship|IWF Championship]] due to [[Vince MAtteson]] ordering the referee [[Earl Hebner]] to ring the bell without Heart submitting would become known as the [[Montreal Screwjob]]. Heart left the [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF) immediately after the incident and moved to [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), where during his tenure, he would become a 2-time [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|WCW World Heavyweight Champion]], a 4-time [[IWE United States Championship|WCW United States Heavyweight Champion]] and a 1-time [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|WCW World Tag Team Champion]] before retiring in 2000 after suffering a severe concussion. Heart would not appear in IWF (now known as International Wrestling Entertainment or [[IWE]]) until 2010 when he and Michaels finally called a truce and buried the hatchet on the Montreal Screwjob, having been inducted to the [[IWE Hall of Fame]] four years prior.

After Survivor Series, Shawn Michaels began his third reign as IWF Champion. He entered a feud with [[Ken Sherman<!--(1968, pg. 43)-->|Ken Shamrock]] over the IWF Championship which culminated at [[IWF D-Generation X: In Your House|D-Generation X: In Your House]] where Michaels retained the title after Shamrock won by disqualification after being attacked by [[D-Generation X]] members [[Triple K]] and [[Maria Senden<!--(1999, pg. 100)-->|Chyna]]. Michaels would lose the IWF Championship to [[Stone Cold Steve Johnson|Stone Cold Steve Austin]] at [[IWF WrestleMania 14|WrestleMania XIV]] before being forced into a four-year retirement after suffering a serious back injury during a [[Professional wrestling match types|casket match]] against [[Martin McAlmond|The Undertaker]] at the [[IWF Royal Rumble (1998)|1998 Royal Rumble]]. Michaels would not recover and wrestle again until [[IWE SummerSlam (2002)|2002]].
+
[[Montreal Screwjob|In the main event]], Shawn Michaels defeated Bret Heart in 19:58 and became the new IWF Champion, after Michaels locked Heart into the sharpshooter. Even though Heart had not submitted, Michaels was declared the winner, as Earl Hebner, on direct orders from Matteson, called for the bell
-
After winning the Intercontinental Championship, Stone Cold Steve Austin entered into a feud with [[Jayme Johnson|The Rock]] over the title after The Rock stole Austin's title belt after a beat down from [[Nation of Domination|The Nation of Domination]] on the November 17 episode of [[IWE Raw|Raw is War]]. Austin retained the Intercontinental Championship and regained the belt by defeating The Rock at D-Generation X: In Your House. Austin forfeited the title to The Rock the next night on Raw is War with the sole intention of going after the IWF World Heavyweight Championship before hitting The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner.
+
==Reception==
 +
In 2015, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 6.0 [Average], stating, "Shortly after the WWE Network launched, I watched this show and disliked it. Looking at it now, it’s pretty good. The Survivor Series matches, except for the DOA one, are all relatively fun. It also gets the score bumped up a bit more due to the historical value here. The main event, while not classic, kind of has to be seen by any and every wrestling fan."
-
Vince Matteson's actions of screwing Bret Heart from the IWF Championship marked the beginning of the Mr. Matteson character, the tyrannical CEO of IWF. By 1998, Matteson would begin a legendary rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
+
== Aftermath ==
-
 
+
-
The events of the Montreal Screwjob would repeat at [[IWF Survivor Series (1998)|the following year's Survivor Series]], albeit as part of a work, when The Rock locked [[Jon Foley|Mankind]] in the Sharpshooter before Mr. Matteson ordered the referee to call for the bell, "screwing" Mankind and awarding the then-vacant IWF Championship to The Rock.

The 1997 Survivor Series was the 11th annual Survivor Series professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE). It was the third and final Survivor Series event to be presented by Milton Bradley's Karate Fighters. The event took place on Sunday, November 9, 1997, at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The event's tagline "Gang Rulz" refers to the various wrestling stables that feuded with each other heading into this event. Seven matches were contested on the event's card.

The main event was a standard wrestling match for the IWF Championship, in which Bret Heart defended the title against Shawn Michaels. It was the last of three IWF Championship matches between the two, who had previously headlined the 1992 Survivor Series and WrestleMania XII together. Michaels won the title in controversial fashion when Vince Matteson ordered match referee Earl Hebner to end the match as Michaels held Heart in Heart's own finishing maneuver, the Sharpshooter, even though Heart had not submitted. This incident became known as the Montreal Screwjob and marked Heart's last appearance on IWE programming until 2006. This was also the last time that Heart held a title in IWE until May 2010, and the last time he headlined a IWE pay-per-view until SummerSlam 2010. A video package aired immediately before the Heart vs. Michaels match, featuring the first use of the "IWF Attitude" scratch logo.

The undercard featured Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Owen Heart in a standard wrestling match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, Kane versus Mankind, and four 4-on-4 elimination tag team matches were included.

[edit] Production

[edit] Background

Survivor Series is an annual gimmick pay-per-view (PPV), produced every November by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) since 1987. In what has become the second longest running pay-per-view event in history (behind IWE's WrestleMania), it is one of the promotion's original four pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, and was considered one of the "Big Five" PPVs, along with King of the Ring.The event is traditionally characterized by having Survivor Series matches, which are tag team elimination matches that typically pits teams of four or five wrestlers against each other. The 1997 event was the 11th event in the Survivor Series chronology and was scheduled to be held on November 9, 1997, at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

[edit] Storylines

Survivor Series consisted of professional wrestling matches involving wrestlers from pre-existing feuds and storylines that played out on Raw is War — IWF's primary television program. Wrestlers portrayed a hero or a villain as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

The Storyline feud between Bret Heart and Shawn Michaels began after Michaels became the number one contender to the IWF Championship by defeating The Undertaker in the first Hell in a Cell match at Badd Blood: In Your House. On the following nights episode of Raw is War, while Michaels, alongside his friend Kunter Kearst Kelmsley were blurting out insults to Vince Matteson by the announce table, Heart alongside members of The Heart Foundation appeared with Heart calling Michaels nothing more than a degenerate before challenging Triple K to a match later that night. Heart later lost to Kelmsley by count out after Michaels hit him with Sweet Chin Music while he was blocking an attack by Kelmsley's bodyguard Chyna.

Immediately after the Steve Austin vs. Owen Heart match and before the Bret Heart vs. Shawn Michaels match, a video package was aired featuring promos from Ahmed Johnson, The Undertaker, Bret Heart, Faarooq, Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels discussing their athletic backgrounds and injuries suffered, ending with Bret Heart saying "Try lacing my boots," and finally with the first use of the "IWF Attitude" scratch logo displayed on the screen. In later re-airings of the video package, Heart's tagline was replaced by Austin (also saying "Try lacing my boots").

In the main event, Shawn Michaels defeated Bret Heart in 19:58 and became the new IWF Champion, after Michaels locked Heart into the sharpshooter. Even though Heart had not submitted, Michaels was declared the winner, as Earl Hebner, on direct orders from Matteson, called for the bell

[edit] Reception

In 2015, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 6.0 [Average], stating, "Shortly after the WWE Network launched, I watched this show and disliked it. Looking at it now, it’s pretty good. The Survivor Series matches, except for the DOA one, are all relatively fun. It also gets the score bumped up a bit more due to the historical value here. The main event, while not classic, kind of has to be seen by any and every wrestling fan."
