KING'S COURT

King: OK, peons. Welcome to a VERY special King's Court. My guest this week is an INVITED guest of the King to appear here. And very few people get personal invitations! But I hear he's not too happy with me about some things I said, so let's bring him on out here. And I'm talking about Bret "The Hitman" Hart!

The Hart Foundation music starts to play as Bret Hart heads to the King's Court. He is wearing street clothes, sunglasses and a Calgary Hitmen leather jacket.

King: Well, Hitman, it's a . . . ahem . . . pleasure to have you here on the King's Court.

Bret: Thanks Jerry, it is just as much a pleasure to be here.

King: Let's get right into it, Hitman! After shooting your mouth off for WEEKS about how much better you are than Sting, you stepped in against him in a Finishing Hold Match! And not only did Sting BEAT YOU . . . with your own move, I might add . . . he kept you OUT of the King of the Ring tournament! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! What about it, Hitman?

The Hitman glares at the King.

Bret: I addressed a bit of this on Superstars, but since you were not listening. YEah I ran my mouth, and yeah I lost, to Sting's finisher. That night he was the better man, and he deserved the win. Did I like losing hell no, am I mad at Sting for beating me . . . no.

King: PLEASE, Hitman! We all saw the tape of you after the match! What you just said sounds like an EXCUSE to me! Didn't your dad teach you anything? Like when he stands up and sees that his pants are damp, he doesn't make excuses! He freely admits what he's done! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

The Hitman clenches his fists and again glares at the King.

King: Whoa, whoa, froggy! Before you think about jumping, I'll change the subject. So enough about sorry old men . . . let's talk about sorry YOUNG men! Like your brother Owen! Ha Ha Ha Ha! Now here's a guy that I thought had seen the light, but I turn on the TV and see Qualify: 97! A spectacular event! But I see that IDIOT Owen attacking the Bulldog and Clarence Mason for NO REASON! Just like a Hart, jumping or badmouthing someone without cause. And then he grabs the microphone and does a high and mighty SUCK UP routine to the fans and to you, giving you back your Slammys. BIG DEAL! But what's the deal, Hitman? Are you really stupid enough to trust your brother Owen? And if you are stupid enough, WHY would you want him around? Next to Savio and Fatu, he's about the biggest loser the WWF has! Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Bret: Jerry, Owen is my brother, and I love him, and no matter what he does I will always love him. I may not be happy with him, or may not even like some of what he does at times, but I will always love him. And yeah I trust him, and I know it could be a mistake, but he is my brother. Jerry you have a son, and you have not always gotten along, but wouldn't you trust him? And damn it, he is a great wrestler, I should know I helped teach him. And I am sure that soon he will finally have WWF gold.

King: Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK. Now what about all this talk about you having too many things on your plate? You wanted a Tag Title shot, and you got that. And WON! But at the same time, you're wanting to face Sting and Stone Cold, and talking about how you're gonna be King of the Ring, and so on. But you LOST to Sting! And you WON'T be King! And what about tonight?!? Steping in against a team who you don't even have time to prepare for . . . and putting the TITLES on the line! Have you finally wised up? Have you now realized that trying to do so many things at once just WON'T work?

Bret(grinning) Nope, how the heck can I learn and get better at wrestling if I do not keep challenging myself? I need to keep busy, if I am going to remain the best. So I am still looking for a match with Stone Cold, and I have a few other ideas hidden up my sleve. Come on King, when was the last time a Tag Team wrestler was ranked in the singles category? Even though it was 10th I am sure I can move that up a few notches soon. So keep it comming, I have handled it so far.

King: All right, Hitman. Thanks for being here on the King's Court this week. Any final excuses . . . I mean any final words before we go?

Bret: Only one thing Lawler.

(Bret gets right in the King's face, and flips his crown a little back)

Bret: I may not be the King this year, but I was the King two years ago, and my defense was cut short last year by someone who attacked my opponent to get me DQ'ed. Let me tell you this, I may have lost this one, but I will still be around, and noone better feel safe, I earned the name Hitman as well as the title the Excelence of Execution, and people can figure out why on their own. But you Lawler, may learn soon enough if you don't leave my family alone and stick to what you do best, making up lies about people!

The Hart Foundation music again starts to play as the Hitman walks camly away from the King, and heads backstage.

King: Yeah, walk off like a COWARD! Don't you make threats to me, Hitman! I've got friends in low places! That's it for this King's Court. Shut that camera off.
