If Bret lost the match, he promised to never wrestle again in the United States, so there was already a lot on the line. Soon after Bret made this announcement, Shawn Michaels was revealed as the special guest referee for the Hart vs Undertaker match and, what's more, if Shawn Michaels favored The Undertaker or if Shawn didn't call the match right down the middle, then Shawn also wouldn't allowed to wrestle again in the USA. With these stipulations in place, the WWF had an incredible amount of creative options they could take. In the end, the finish of the match was one that no one could have predicted. In an incredible twist, the end of SummerSlam Hart and Soul featured Shawn Michaels costing The Undertaker the WWF Championship. This video looks at the match finish and the paths the WWF could've took if the match ended in a different fashion. 00:00 - Heel Bret Hart in 1997 04:01 - The cancelled HBK vs Hart match 08:05 - The finish to SummerSlam Hart & Soul 10:54 - Bret talks about the finish in his book 14:42 - How Hart & Soul altered the WWF's future #WWF #WWE #WRESTLING
