Triple H Claims Montreal Screwjob Was His Idea

Triple H is now claiming he was the one to suggest the Montreal Screwjob, a infamous moment in wrestling history.

What is the Montreal Screwjob?

The Montreal Screwjob remains one of the most infamous moments in wrestling history, with multiple people claiming to be the brains behind it.

Triple H explained how he suggested the idea, despite being one of the least important people in the room at the time.

Who else claimed responsibility?

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer notes that Triple H is now the fifth person to take credit for the idea, along with Vince McMahon, Vince Russo, Jim Cornette, and Shawn Michaels.

And the other four have their own versions of the story, with some leaving out key details.

What did Triple H say?

"There was just a silence, and nobody knew what to say... but I was like, 'I gotta say it.' I was like, 'F*ck that. If he won't do business, do it for him,'" Triple H said.

This statement sparked a conversation that led to the Montreal Screwjob, according to Triple H.

But Meltzer also notes that Triple H left out the part of the story where Bret Hart agreed to drop the title to Michaels anywhere else.

So the true story behind the Montreal Screwjob remains unclear, with multiple people claiming responsibility.

The event occurred almost 30 years ago, and it's still talked about today.

As of 2023, the debate about the true mastermind behind the Montreal Screwjob continues, with no clear answer in sight.
