Phrase coined to describe the end of pro-wrestler Bret Hart's career. The end of the match between Shawn Michaels and Hart has become the most famous event in the history of the WWF/E.
Basically, Bret was going to leave the WWF in 1997. On November 9th, he was going to beat Shawn Michaels and then lose his final match by disqualification. Unfortunately, Vince McMahon decided to illegally call the match just as Shawn Michaels put Bret Hart in the famous sharpshooter move. Hart was most likely going to reverse this move and win the match, but McMahon decided to make Bret lose for whatever reason.
Bret was in shock and he spit on McMahon before leaving. He also expressed his anger by destroying a few TV cameras after the match.
During this era, Shawn Michaels was a member of a highly influential clique that often controlled the outcomes of various matches. Their power behind the scenes was linked to Vince McMahon and it led to the 'screwing over' of Bret "Hitman" Hart, a respectable, skilled wrestler.
/
To this day, Shawn Michaels is hated in Canada (Hart's homeland) and the crowds often boo him or shout "You screwed Bret!" as a constant reminder of this unfortunate, unfair event.
The Montreal screwjob refers exclusively to the night of 11/9/97, but many comparisons are made to this famous match. The recent firing of Matt Hardy brought up a deluge of references to the untimely release of an excellent wrestler, Bret Hart.

The most storied hockey team and quite possibly sports team in history. Almost every great NHL player has played for the Montreal Canadiens. With 24 Stanley Cups, the most successfull NHL team ever. The greatest hockey team to ever exist, far better than those sucky ass Maple Leafs

An extinct major League Baseball team that once played at Olympic Stadium in the beautiful city of Montreal.
Montreal is by far a better city than Toronto and the Expos desbite opperating on a fraction of the budget as the Blue Jays still produced interesting and respectable teams. Unfortunately the strike in 1994 pissed off a lot of Montrealers and the team lost their fan base. Many people also blame the inadequate stadium for their demise.
However you look at it, The Expos were a great asset to a great city and it is too bad Montreal has lost that dimension. Nevertheless Toronto is still full of worthless moneygrabing bastards and they will never have a city as cool as Montreal no matter what they do.

Most montreal boys are typically fuckboy with curly hair that wear kappa or adidas. They live in montreal obviously. They like smoking weed and trying to act ghetto even tho their moms still drive them to school. They like wearing gucci fanny packs around their chest and throw up gang signs in their instagram pictures.

Pittsburgh was Montreal-wooped because they suck!
Washington won the Presidents Trophy, yet, they were Montreal-wooped and upset by the 8th seed.
