The Montreal Screwjob was the real life double-crossing of defending WWF Champion Bret Hart by Vince McMahon, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), during the main event match of the professional wrestling pay-per-view event Survivor Series held on November 9, 1997 at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
这是一件发生在计划外的事故，是人为的因素，将整个结局给改了过来。它发生在1997年十一月九日，地点是在加拿大的蒙特婁，一场冠军争霸赛里头，主角是当时的冠军Bret Hart以及WWF的老板，Vince MacMahon。另一位重点人物是Shawn Micheals。
A secret change of the match's pre-determined finish (known as a "shoot screwjob" in professional wrestling parlance) was devised by McMahon and discussed with Hart's match opponent, Shawn Michaels. The plan was executed when the match referee, Earl Hebner, under orders from McMahon, called for the bell to ring and ended the match as Michaels held Hart in the Sharpshooter submission hold (Hart's signature finishing move), even though Hart had not submitted. Michaels was declared the victor by submission and crowned as the new WWF Champion.
Vince MacMahon和Bret Hart的对手Shawn Micheals秘密达成协议，来个出其不意的改动。当赛事进行到尾端，Shawn Micheals使出了Bret Hart的绝招Sharpshooter，虽然Bret Hart并没有投降的意愿，但是裁判Earl Hebner在老板的指示下，还是将胜利判给了Shawn Micheals，让他成为了新任的WWF冠军。
The reason for this screwjob was rooted in Hart's decision to leave McMahon's company for its chief competitor, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), after McMahon told Hart that financial problems would not allow him to keep Hart on under his recently signed 20 year contract. Hart, who cited a clause in his contract that granted him "reasonable creative control", was steadfast in his refusal to lose a match hosted in his home country, Canada, especially against Shawn Michaels, with whom he did not get along. McMahon remained insistent that Hart should lose to Michaels in Montreal, fearing that his company's business would suffer if WCW announced Hart as its latest signing while he still held the WWF World title. Although Hart and McMahon agreed to a compromise on the match ending that allowed Hart to retain the title, McMahon was determined to remove the title from Hart.
事件的来龙去脉是因为Hart决定要离开公司，而且还是跑到WWF的死对头WCW的怀抱里。为什么Hart要离开呢？理由是老板告诉他说由于经济出了问题，公司已经无法履行他们20年的新合约。Hart也不肯退一步，在他的合约里有一款“合理的创意控制”，所以他不愿在乡亲父老面前输给Shawn Micheals，一个私底下他也不爽的人。但Vince MacMahon害怕Bret Hart以WWF冠军的身份加盟WCW，口头上答应Bret Hart赢了比赛，但却悄悄地弄了手脚。
The screwjob has garnered a notorious legacy both on-screen and off, and was partly chronicled in the documentary film Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows. The far-reaching impact of the incident led to its adoption as a theme in matches and storylines of the WWF's Attitude Era and the creation of the character, "Mr. McMahon", the evil boss. Hart was ostracized from the WWF, while McMahon and Michaels continued to receive angry responses from audiences for many years. The relationship between Hart and McMahon later healed, however, culminating in Hart's induction on April 1, 2006 into the company's Hall of Fame.
这件事所带来的影响之大超出我们的想像之外，无论是幕前幕后都大肆讨论及吐口水。这也无形中造就了WWF其中一个有力的故事主角，混蛋老板“Mr MacMahon”。我想虽然事隔多年，很多蒙特婁甚至加拿大人还是耿耿于怀，对Vince MacMahon和Shawn Micheals的辱骂仍未停止。可能男主角Bret Hart大人有大量，在2006年登上了WWE的名人堂，想必他也想把这件事故从心里面给扫去了吧！

我所认识的摔角 Wrestling that I know
我从十岁就开始了看摔角的习惯，到现在差不多有整十九年了，他们说厉害一点的早已经做父母了。呵呵！想跟大家分享一下我的摔角的心得，让喜欢摔角的你更有共鸣，也让不喜欢摔角的你开始接触它，然后就会慢慢爱上它。
I have been watching wrestling match since 19 years ago. Just want to share my view on the wrestling to all of you, it doesn't matter you like it or not.
一开始看的就是World Wrestling Federation（早期的WWE）的，没办法，人家就是家喻户晓，家家户户都是放他们的嘛！噢！先说我怎么开始接触的，其实我是在人家的咖啡店看起的。很滑稽吧！小时候家规比较严，不敢让父母知道我喜欢摔角，所以跑到外面看咯！后来又开始租录影带回家，不过是等到夜深人静时才敢看，就好像看咸涩带一样。再后来开始胆生毛，在父母面前开，一两次过后他们也习以为常了。
Everything started with World Wrestling Federation(the WWE now), WWF is like a branding stuff at that time which everybody want to watch. And I usually watched wrestling match at kopitiam. It was because afraid of be scolded by parents. Later stage, I started renting video tapes home but only watched it after midnight, just like how we watched porn tape. Haha! Lastly I become so brave that I dared to watched at home in front of my parents and after few times, they got used of this.
WWF的老板是Vincent Kennedy MacMahon。他就是将整个摔角世界给商业化的非常成功的人啦！他创造出一个又一个巨星，比如说Hulk Hogan的Hulkamania，Stone Cold的Austin 3：16属于比较具代表性的，每个都帮公司赚大钱啊！他本身热爱摔角，所以他也练就了一身好身材，只不过当时他爸爸不允许他加入，直到他从他爸爸手中买过公司后，他才慢慢参与某些赛事，过一过摔角瘾。
Vincent Kennedy MacMahon is the boss of WWF. He is the guy that revolutionalize the whole wrestling world into a making money machine. He created not one, not two but many superstars such as Hulk Hogan's Hulkamania and Stone Cold famous AUSTIN 3:16. He likes wrestling but his father did not allowed him to get involved in the matches. I believe this continue until he took over the company and he started to starring in some interesting matches.
十九年前的WWF，选手们基本上分成好人和坏人。好人就是观众喜爱的，出场会受到欢呼声的。而坏人很明显就是天生会被嘘的，会被丢纸杯的。以前的比较单纯，好人只会和好人一起，坏人也一样。但那时候也觉得很好看了，当时的选手，比较出名的有Hulk Hogan，Ultimate Warrior，Rick Rude，Million Dollar Man，Macho Man以及还不是独当一面的Bret Hart和Shawn Micheals等等。
WWF back at 19 years ago, the wrestlers are divided into Face and Heel group. Face is the one the audiences love to support while heel represents the bad guy. It was very simple, good guys only hang out with good guys and samething goes to bad guys. Hulk Hogan，Ultimate Warrior，Rick Rude，Million Dollar Man，Macho Man, Shawn Micheal, Bret Hart are among them.
到了96，97年，Austin的来临给WWF带来了很大的转变。是他把粗口给“发扬光大”，是他那种不屑他人的态度让很多观众都支持他，是他把“好人坏人帮”给瓦解掉了，从此只有为自己而活。他和Vince MacMahon之间的争斗也让WWF的收视率一路长虹，是他们从新把摔角迷给拉进来了。其他的选手有The Undertaker（老臣子之一），Shawn Micheals，Triple H（老板的女婿），The Rock等等。随便说出名字都是响当当的，无人不晓的。
Til the year 1996/97, Austin made changes to the WWF. He spoke fault language, he showed no respect to others, he trusted nobody but himself that made people loves him. The storyline between him and the boss put WWF all the way up to the sky and crashing down their opponent, WCW.
再来就是WWE的年代了。差别只在于这时候，WWE已经雄霸天下了，她的对手都被她给消灭了。WWE也分成了RAW，SmackDown和ECW三个派系，虽然选手们都属于各自的派系，但有必要时还是会夸“系”来出拳相助。
Now is called WWE era. The difference is now they almost monopoly the sport entertainment world. It has 3 brands, RAW, SmackDown and ECW. Each brand has its own championship belt and wrestlers, they seldom across the brand unless is necessary.
我所发现最大的变化就是现在WWE比较不重视双打的项目了！从她的pay-per-view的赛事来看就知道，已经很久没看过双打冠军上场捍卫他们的冠军牌了。可能比较没有市场了吧！
The biggest change I found on WWE now is that they not longer put much effort on the tag team. This is obvious that from their past pay-per-view, you won't see lot tag team championship matches on the list. Dunno why?
好了，就先说到此！怕你们闷坏了。
That's it for today. Hope you are not getting bored.

TNA Wrestling
没错，我在你今天BLOG了吗也有些过同样题目的文章，TNA Wrestling。那时我对TNA的态度还是有所保留，毕竟和WWE比起来它还是有它自己的过人之处。
I have been written the same title in my another blog. Click HERE to read it (it is in Chinese language).
不过，前几天我看完了它的Against All Odds，我想我知道为什么TNA搞了这么久，还是无法和WWE对抗。
After watching TNA's latest pay-per-view, Against All Odds, I think I know why TNA still unable to compete with WWE.
第一，比赛时，选手们的互动非常的差。可能是我没有跟着他们每个礼拜的节目跑，而直接看pay-per-view，总觉得很奇怪。加上选手们的招式运用的蛮不顺畅的，整体上看起来就是卡住卡住，让人看了很像转台，看不下去。
First of all, the interaction between wrestlers are poor. Maybe I didn't follow their weekly programs and straight away go to the pay-per-view, feel weird. The flow of the show is not that smooth, make me wanna stop watching it. I can't switch channel because it was downloaded video clips. Shh....
连TNA里头两大选手的比赛也不列外，Abyss对上Matt Morgan那场更加惨不忍睹。两人好像乐龄人士在对打，出拳看来只能够打死蚂蚁，对方却应拳倒地。许多武器拿出来了，却不被用上场，有点吊人瘾的成分。结尾也是好像把人拿起来然后“轻放”在地上，这样就赢了，实在搞笑。
The battle between the 2 big size wrestlers, Abyss and Matt Morgan also very disappointed me. They fight like old men, they slow, their punches looked like can only kill the ants. Weapons brought out but never use. The finishing part also ridiculous, Abyss seems "putting" Morgan on the floor, just like that.
最后的冠军赛，由Team 3D对垒Kurt Angle对垒Sting的四角战，也是无奈大于一切。赛前看起来很有看头，哪知道一开始比赛，除了几处可看之幕，剩下的就只有可笑了。我觉得幕后的编写员的功夫有少许问题，加上幕前的选手呈现不出完美的动作，就换来了一波又一波的冷场。
The main event, Team 3D vs Kurt Angle vs Sting, also disappointed. Nothing worth to be highlighted here. I think the scripting team and the wrestlers both having problems which lead to the silent crowd, i mean myself :p
一直以来TNA跟我的感觉就是很震撼、招式惊喜十足，从不拖泥带水，但这次之后，我想我还是看WWE就够了。
I used to think that TNA is awlays full of surprise and explosion, but after this PPV, I think I would just stick with WWE.
