RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Apr. 21, 1997

BRET HART pre-recorded Interview from Calgary

We see the Hitman's home, he is seated in a large easy chair in front of the camera behind him is a fireplace, and on the mantle are the Hitman's slammies and one of their tag team of the month awards.

Bret: Well, thank-you WWF for setting up this satelite interview from my home, even though it will be recorded. Okay, I said a few things on Superstars and I wanted to clarify a few points. But first I wanted to offically accept the King's Invitation to appear on the King's Court. Now, that interview on Superstars was recorded the day after TNT, and I had been beaten up, and was a bit angry about losing, as anyone is when they lose, I mean who really likes to lose. And I was angry at some of the things Sting said. So Jarret, I am sorry if it seemed I attacked you verbally. About our match, I can honestly say I have not been telling Titan Tower to not sign the match, I have sent in the contract, as well, but I have not pushed them to get it inked in. BUt now the match is taking place, and it will be non-title so that is taken care of. And if you want to re do the traingle match that will be fine with me as well. On the double teaming, I am not sure I would have done, it but I would have considered it Jarret. And Sting, I have heard the talk around the locker rooms, how you claim everything I say is a lie. What is up Sting? What am I saying is a lie? When you attacked me you HAD NOT attacked Bishop yet. Look at the tapes if you think other wise. Everyone still thought you had ties with the Horsemen then, look at the announcers statements when it happened if you think otherwise, and the Warrior did have a challenege out to you. Oh, those words are not the lies? Well, the contracts have been sent out for months, they just have not been inked in,

(the Hitman looks like he is thinking)

My statements about Pillman, and Austin, and the Anvil, hmmm and Mr. Perfect, were all true. Hmmm, maybe you don't think terry taylor is scum.

Well, the only other thing you could be refering to as lies, or BS Sting are my statements about you and the Sharpshooter, WELL when this federation was founded in 1993 Sting we both came in with our finishing moves, we both had been using them for years in the indies. And I did develope it in my father's Dungeon Sting, years ago, before I cam into professional wrestling I was working to perfect it. Back in Highschool Sting I was working my ass off, wrestling in highschool, and in my father's Dungeon. And Sting, come on, until just this last year you were the man in the face paint with the ribbons, the man who had a lady on each arm. I am sure what I said about you in Highschool is the truth. So what is the matter Sting? I really hope you do not try to bring some of these rumors onto National television, because it would be a shame for me to prove you incorrect at each turn and embarass you like that.

So Sting stop running your mouth on TV, and stop running it in the locker rooms, and lets settle this like men, in the wrestling ring. A finishing move match, you an me. And I'll say this if you toss me a bat, I'll keep a hold of it until I am sure you don't have another one under that trench coat. So lets both stop talking about it Sting, and lets just settle this, I have a lot of other things on my plate like Jarret mentioned on Superstars. And I hate to say it, but you are not even the most important right now, just the most annoying. And hey, I just wanted to thank all my fans in Germany and the US for supporting me durring my matches of late, hopefully I can live up to all of your expectations of me.
