BRET HART

The camera is dark, then a light appears in the darkness, as the camera closes in on the light we see that it is a wrestling ring. In the ring is the Hitman, Bret Hart. He is shadown wrestling in his pink and black singlet. As the camera gets close Bret continues wrestling, until finally the camera man coughs, and Bret notices that someone is here. He stops and moves over to the ropes and leans out.

Bret: My God. Sting. What the hell is the matter with you? If you have accepted my match great, lets get the bookers to ink it in. Speaking of the bookers, I accepted the Blizzards and Double J's challenges months ago. On nation wide TV. I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, me ducking them. The matches simply have not been inked yet. And then this triangle match comes up, did I ask for it? No, did I accept it when it was offered, yes. And what happens Jarret and the Blizzard pull a fast one over on the Hitman, well that was a good strategy, take out the best wrestler, well Jarret, you are obviously showing your true colors, and you have proven that one on one you could not beat me on the best day of your life. I did not set up the tag team, between us and Vader, Jeff, that was you. And I did not set up this triangle match, but I signed up for it when the contract came to me, since both of you wanted a piece of the Hitman. I have not ducked you Jarret, if anyone is ducking anyone it is you ducking me. I have stated that i have had an open contract and Titan towers waiting for your signature since December Jarret, and you have not "had the time" to sign it. It's there, go sign it NOW. And get in the ring with me, unless you are afraid of losing Jeff. Leave the belt at home bring it i don't care but stop running your mouth, put up jeff or shut up. And if the Blizzard still wants a match with the Hitman, great the contract is waiting for his signature as well. And now Sting I have one on hold for you. So, stop talking and get in the ring, unless talking is all you guys are good for.

Bret looking angry goes through a series of wrestling moves ending with a suplex of some sort.

Bret: Sting you are right about one thing I misread your attack on me. At the time Sting, you were still a Horseman. At the time the Ultimate Warrior, your ex-partner had challenged you for a match, and at the time I was focused on Pillman and Austin, and the rest of the Empire. So when you attack, I made a mistake, I let it slide. It is not my style to retaliate attacks outside of the ring with attacks outside of the ring, and I read it as a response to the Warrior challenging you, and I did not want to step on his toes or get in his way, he had challenged you so the Hitman backed off. Well, I am sorry Warrior, but the Hitman and the Stinger have some serious business to take care of. Sting, the contract is open, and all you have to do is sign it, and if you want to check the box that makes this a finishing move match.

Bret bounces off the ropes and comes back.

Bret: And about that Sting I developed the Sharpshooter in my father's Dungeon, when you were still trying to get girls in the back seat of your daddie's car in Highschool. At the same time I was working my ass off in my father's Dungeon and in the amature wrestling ring. So, Jarret and Sting, get off your lazy asses and sign the contract, it has been there for months Jarret and it is dated. So, put up or shut up and get lost.

Bret shoots a single leg taking down and invisible foe.

Bret: But I planned on speaking about other things, my brother and brother in law challenged us to a tag match, Derrick Stardom, and my deal with Mr. Perfect. First the easy stuff, Derrick I did bet the house on Austin and Pillman attacking you, but I know you can handle yourself, and not only don't want my help but don't need it. So good luck to you, and when we face in the ring it won't be as enemies or friends, it will be as two wrestlers, but that's as far as I see this going. Owen Davey, I plan on being busy at the King of the Ring. With any luck I will be wrestling in the finals at that Tourny, that is if I am accepted into it, also at that time we may be the tag champs again. Well, let me say this, we accept a match against you, not nescissarly at the King of the Ring, but who knows it may turn out to be there, and it may turn out to be for the title, and I may be tired from wrestling in matches earlier that day. And now, Mr. Perfect, Curt has been trying his damndest to live up to his side of our deal, to get at that slime Terry Taylor. Well,

Bret runs his hands through his hair.

Bret: I do not feel I completly lived up to my side of the bargin yeah I beat on Austin, but did not exellently execute him. I nailed Pillman, and in a tag match, against two wrestlers like that you don't give up the win to get a shot at the other guy. So Austin, here is what I'm gonna do. I am sure you are not finished with me yet, and I figure you will do something to get yourself in the King of the Ring. Will, if you do, and if I get in there two, how about we get ourselves placed in opposite brackets so we both could reach the finals and I could kick your ass there.

Bret goes back to wrestling.

Bret: Sting, talk all you want, swing down from the rafters all you want, attack me from behind all you want, that means nothing to me. Attack my integritry, attack my ability, and do it, with those few grains of truth you have, no I have not wrestled against the blizzard or Jarret since I accepted their challenges, yes I have been focused on two many things, well that is the way to push the Hitman's buttons. Way to go Sting, lets get it ON.

Bret: And in case anyone is wondering the Anvil is getting better and I am fine now. And Phoenix, that attack was at the leader of the Mega Powers, not just the Hitman. So Phoenix bring on your tag team and we will execute them.

Bret stops, looks straight at the camera and runs his index finger across his throat, and the camera shuts off.
