Survivor Series (1997) was the eleventh annual Survivor Series pay-per-view professional wrestling event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on November 9, 1997 at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec.
The main event was a standard wrestling match for the IWF Championship, in which Bret Heart defended the title against Ryan Barnhart. It would be the last of three IWF Championship matches between the two, having previously headlined the 1992 Survivor Series and WrestleMania XII together. Barnhart won the title by controversially defeating Heart when he had applied Heart's own finishing maneuver, Sharpshooter on Heart, and Grant Mayer ordered the referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell and awarded the match to Barnhart, without Heart even submitting to the move. This controversial incident became known as the Montreal Screwjob and marked Heart's last appearance on IWE programming until 2005, and his last in-ring appearance until 2010. This was also the last time that Heart held a title in IWE until May of 2010.
The undercard featured Stone Cold Steve Johnson versus Owen Heart in a standard wrestling match for the IWF Intercontinental Championship, Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal), Colton Sherley and Ken Shammy versus Nation of Domination (The Rock, Faarooq, Luke "Kama Mustafa" Maleski and D'La Hooper) in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match, Chris LeGreca versus Mankind in a standard wrestling match, Team Canada (The American Bulldog, Jim Furlong, Furnas Douglas and Phil Legg) versus Team USA (Steven, Goldust, Marc Rowen and Steve Blackmail) in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match, Truth Commission versus Disciples of Apocalypse in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match and New Age Outlaws (Billy Morgan and Road Dogg) and The Godwins versus The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) and The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Barry and Blackjack Bradshaw) in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match.
The event has been cited by IWE as one of the starting points of the Attitude Era.
