Survivor Series (1997) was the eleventh annual Survivor Series pay-per-view professional wrestling event produced by the Internationa Wrestling Federation . It took place on November 9, 1997 at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec.
The main event was a Singles Match for the IWF Championship , in which Bret Heart defended the title against Ryan Barnhart . It would be the last of three IWF Championship matches between the two, having previously headlined the 1992 Survivor Series and WrestleMania XII together. Barnhart won the title by controversially defeating Heart when he had applied Heart's own finishing maneuver, Sharpshooter on Heart, and Grant Boyon ordered the referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell and awarded the match to Barnhart without Heart even submitting to the move. This controversial incident became known as the Montreal Screwjob and marked Heart's last appearance as a IWE employee until 2010.
The undercard featured Stone Cold Steve Johnson versus Owen Heart in a standard wrestling match for the IWF Intercontinental Championship , Legion of Doom , Colton Sherley and Ken Shammy versus Nation of Domination in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match , Chris LeGreca versus Mankind in a standard wrestling match, Team Canada (The AMerican Bulldog , Jim Furlong , Douglas and Phillip ) versus Team USA (Steven , James Thomas , Marc and Steve B. ) in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match, The Truth Commission (The Jackyl , The Interrogator , Sniper , and Recon ) versus Disciples of Apocalypse in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match and New Age Outlaws and The Godwinns versus The Headbangers and The New Blackjacks in a four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match.
