WrestleMania XXX Elite Mattel WWE Set…Screwjob Style!

Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart…once bitter enemies, they have a newfound friendship that the WWE Universe adores and is proud of. The infamous Montreal Screwjob saw Shawn Michaels working with Vince McMahon to make Bret Hart look silly in his hometown of Montreal, Canada. This moment in wrestling history is famous for being the catalyst to the Attitude Era and causing a grudge that lasted for years and years. Now, Shawn and Bret have buried the hatchet, but the memory of the Montreal Screwjob remains in the minds of many. Mattel has chosen both Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels as Elites for their WrestleMania XXX Elite Series:
