Answer 1

Monteal screwjob as brief as possible.
this is the most controversial wrestling moment ever.
Bret Hart wrestled in WWE. He signed a contract to wrestle for WCW.
He also had creative control, which means he controlled what storylines he could and couldnt do.
His contract ended with on the survivor series 97 ppv show. Vince asked him to lose the world title on that show before he left.
Bret claimed "creative control" and said he didnt want to lose the title in his hometown. He said he would come on raw the next night and give up the title.
Long story short, vince was worried since his contract ended sun at the ppv that he would go to wcw the next night with the belt, as champion and bring it on WCW Nitro and make WWE look bad.
So Vince worked out a deal with HBK and the referee so that they would call the match with Hart losing, without Bret knowing.
Bret thought that the match was going as planned and he would leave as the champ.
An debate ensued for years over who was involved, how many people knew, was it unprofessional or a betrayal, whose fault it was, etc.


If you want more info, it's probably on wikipedia.com, they have a lot of wrestling stuff.

Answer 2

Well it's scripted to an extent. If a wrestler was to do something out of the script, they would have to improvise. Say HHH was fighting Randy Orton. HHH might break the script and do an illegal move such as a low blow or a weapon shot. The referee has to be there to make the call.

The ring is made to look as hard as possible, while not being as hard to hit to the wrestlers. They recently changed the ring material to be easier on the wrestlers. But rest assure, the ring is not as soft as some might think. They aren't supposed to commentate on things NOT supposed to happen, an example is when Matt Hardy was attacking Edge when Matt was unsigned.

Commentators are just to add to the effect, they try to make it seem as real as possible, and commentate as if they didn't know what was about to happen. They watch monitors on their table and commentate from that to make it seem like they see what we see.

I, personally, think the Montreal Screw Job was all fake and planned. It would make Bret Hart look like a hero as he left (gratitude from WWE) and make Vince look like the ultimate heel (which he has made work for him ever since in feuds with people like Stone Cold and DX). All of the back stage stuff that happened, like Bret assaulting Vince after the match backstage and HBK running away, was all just to add to the situation and make it look more realistic. The whole Montreal Screw Job has way too many flaws, in my opinion, to be real. Even other wrestlers have said that it was all planned.
