SPECIAL CHALLENGE TAG TEAM MATCH
the Hart Foundation
vs.
Vader & Jeff Jarrett
w/Jim Cornette & the Roadie

The Match:
The Hart Foundation music starts to play as the Hart Foundation enters the ring, the Hitman is wearing his Calgary Hitmen, Jacket, sunglasses, and singlet, the Anvil is just in his wrestling singlet. The Anvil takes a microphone from the ring announcer.

Anvil: HELLO WINNIPEG! Are you people ready to see some great wrestling? (THEY ROAR!) And are you ready to see a talking donkey? (Heart Attack moves away from Pillman.)You would think that something like that would be in a side show, but the WWF puts one on TV and calls it an announcer, ladies and gentlemen, give the biggest jack-ass in the WWF a warm welcome, HEY THERE PILLMAN. (The Anvil leans way over the top rope toward the announcer's table) Well punk, I have decided to be magnanomous, you can stay there and spout your poison. BUT if you even stand up, I will put you back down. SO STAY BOY STAY! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Oh, Pillman I am busy today, but maybe soon I will have time to teach you some of the lessons you missed in Kindergarden. Oh was that when you dropped out of school? Then your lapse in knowledge makes sense. You should NEVER hit a lady, and Roxanne, is definatly a lady. Not like, well Harlem Heat used the word I would use for Sabrina, so just check the Superstars tape. Oh, and you should never hit someone from behind. Since you broke two rules you will have to be taught a lesson, and I WILL TEACH IT!!!!!!!!!! But Tonight!

He gives the mic to Bret

Bret: Tonight we face a new tag team. Now what is it with the revisionist historians? Jarret we will have a singles match, I guarentee it. Now shut up. What is this you think that you wrestle us you get OUR title shot, because Harlem Heat said so? I don't think so, we have nothing to gain by it, if the Heat say they will give you a shot if you win that is fine, but if you believe the Heat then you are not the bad boy you pretend to be. Our shot stays with us, you can trust the Heat's good will. Now before they come down. AUSTIN! All talk and no show? You call us down and run off! Maybe next time you will stay around for awhile, but I guess there is good money in being chicken. NOW lets bring on the BIG MAN and JARRET! This match will not be easy, Jarret is good and VAder is big and mean, but we are a TEAM. They may have a slight conlflict of interest, but we have worked together for years, so lets get it ON!

Bret leaves the ring and gives his sunglasses to a young boy at ringside, who is holding a Hitman doll and a hitman #1 finger. The boy just smiles and looks very happy. Bret takes off his jacket and gets in the ring, waiting for the bell.

Pillman: Yeah, yeah! BIG deal! Bribin' the fans... just like the Harts BRIBE the other Mega Powers to come down and do their dirty work for them! At WrestleMania, they won't be able to hide any more!

Next, Double J's country music starts to play! Double J comes out in his white outfit, with the red blinking letters. The Roadie is with him. There are a few fans with their hands outstretched... and Double J reaches for them... and SLAPS THEM! He gets up into the ring where the musical notes play across the ring. Double J motions for the Harts and referees to step aside where he then does his strut down the center of the ring.... lifting his hands up to the fans at the end.

Vader's music is then played... and he comes out with Jim Cornette. The lights are blinking on and off as Vader gets into the ring, yelling out at the fans.

As the pre-match gets underway, the camera picks up... in the shadows of the runway... STING! He has a ball bat in his hand and he's watching the action.

Bret and Jarrett begin the match. The Hitman does a double leg takedown on Jarrett, and comes up holding one of Double J's legs. Double J pulls his leg back... and KICKS the Hitman off! Jarrett gets up to his feet... and Bret dives at him again... DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN!

Again, Bret comes up holding one of his legs... and he drops down on top of it... then comes up and YANKS on it! Jarrett pulls his leg free, twists on the mat... and does a drop toe hold into a leglock.

Bret spins out of it and up to his knees. Double J gets up to his feet. Bret comes up under Jarrett's chin with his head... JAWBREAKER! The Hitman then whips Jarrett to the Hart's corner, where the Anvil grabs him and holds him there. The Hitman comes charging in.... KNEELIFT!!! Bret tags in the Anvil.

The Anvil throws a punch at Double J, who blocks and brings up a kick. The Anvil backs away... and Jarrett does a tuck and roll out of the corner and tags in Vader!

Vader and the Anvil meet in the center of the ring for just a second... then Vader PUNCHES the Anvil! The Anvil's head snaps back... but then he turns back to Vader... AND SCOOPS HIM INTO A BODYSLAM!!! The fans go crazy!

The Anvil bounces off the ropes... LEG DROP ACROSS VADER'S HEAD! The Anvil gets up and backs up ... Vader gets up to his feet! The two lock up again...and this time it's VADER who gets the upper hand! He flips the Anvil over... TOMBSTONE!!!!

Vader gets up and backs away. The Anvil gets up to his feet... and they lock up again. Anvil punches Vader in the head, knocking him back.... then follows with a clothesline... that knocks him down!Anvil then fades back to tag in Bret. Bret climbs up onto the second rope...

As Anvil holds Vader down on the mat. The Hitman soars off... ELBOWDROP! The Anvil leaves the ring. Bret picks up Vader... waistlocks him... SIDE SUPLEX!!!! The Hitman methodically grabs Vader's legs and begins to wrap him up in the figure four! Vader gets up his free leg... and DRIVES IT INTO THE HITMAN, sending him to the ropes....

Vader gets up.... catches Bret, turns him over into a TOMBSTONE!!! Vader then pulls the Hitman up to a vertical base....
