"Three days later, they [WWE] changed the titles back [to the Hart Foundation]," said Rougeau. "They did a screwjob in Montreal. It was just for the fans that were there that night, it was like giving them candy...Visit Wrestling Inc. then on the TV show on the weekend, it was the Harts that were champions, and they never mentioned that we won the titles in Montreal.

"I think they should have never done it, because it kind of upset the people in Montreal."
