It was real, in fact a documentary have been made about Bret Hart on this incident.
Also: WWE.com has an article up about Shawn Michaels and the fans in Montreal last night, noting that it was the first time probably since 1997 where Michaels got some cheers thanks in part to the return of D-Generation X along with Triple H. To view the article, click here.
A video clip of DX after Raw is also up on WWE.com

---------------------------------
McMahon tentatively agreed to end the match in Montreal with a planned disqualification finish, which would involve various cohorts of both Hart and Michaels running in and disrupting the match. Hart said that he could make a live speech the next day on the November 10, 1997 edition of RAW and then hand the belt back or that he could lose the title to Ken Shamrock who had, in the weeks leading to Survivor Series, made both Hart and Michaels tap out to his Ankle Lock finisher
McMahon, however, felt that Bret was lying to him and would instead appear on WCW Monday Nitro with the Title the next night. This is despite Bret being legally unable to do so; although there is a common misconception that Bret's WWF contract expired at the Survivor Series, it actually expired several weeks later. McMahon was actually concerned that Eric Bischoff, WCW's Executive Vice President, would announce on the live Nitro, which aired prior to the WWF RAW program, that they had just signed the reigning WWF Champion to a contract.

It was real, and it happened because Bret Hart was leaving to go to WCW and was refusing to drop the belt, because he is so freakin egotistical that he thought if he lost the belt in canada, either at the ppv or the next night in raw, that canada would never get over it. vince mcmahon may be a prick, but he didnt screw bret. bret screwed bret.

It was real, Bret Hart came to terms of retiring the WWE at the time, but Vince wanted Shawn Micheals to have the title. Bret didn't agree to that, but he still wrestled his best and almost beat Shawn, until Vince and other WWE officials came down to stop it, and that's when they helped Shawn win.

that is a really thorny area i suggest you watch Wrestling with Shadows and try to find HBK and Bret's shoot interviews. I also suggest you read HBK's book and when Bret's comes out i would recommend reading that too if all that doesn't work i suggest wikipedia.org
