In a candid interview, wrestling veteran Devon Dudley shared his thoughts on the infamous Montreal Screwjob and the misconceptions about wrestling being "fake." Dudley emphasized that while wrestling outcomes are predetermined, the intense physicality and risks wrestlers endure are very real. He recounted a moment during his divorce when someone offhandedly dismissed wrestling as fake—a comment he found infuriating given the physical and emotional toll the sport takes.
Discussing the Montreal Screwjob, Dudley explained that Vince McMahon orchestrated the controversial finish, catching Bret Hart off guard during his match with Shawn Michaels, underscoring Vince’s control over the industry. He praised Vince’s role as both a promoter and a compelling on-screen character, especially during the Attitude Era, but acknowledged some storylines, like the scrapped controversial daughter pregnancy plot, crossed lines.
Dudley’s insights shed light on the complex balance between scripted drama and genuine athleticism in professional wrestling.
