"The Rocket"Owen Hart:"President Piper,you know we're deserving of a shot,so can you please sign our match with Money Inc,for The King of the Ring,because we will be doing you a favour by kicking Terry Taylor's ass,and we'll kick The Giant's ass,which will be doing alot of people a favour!If not at The King of the Ring,next pay-per-view,at In Your House,in our hometown of Calgary,on July.5th!We are in need of a shot,and we are deserving of a shot!So come on,President Piper,please sign the match?"
Piper: Well boys, you're the number 3 contenders. That's sayin' somethin'. But Demolition is number 2 and they beat-cha before.

The Harts are gettin' a shot at WHOEVER the champs are this month. They're IN the War Games already, y'see? But this is this.... next week.... you two... against Demolition. Ya both want title shots... let's see which one of you is hungrier!
"The British Bulldog"Davey Boy Smith:(British Accent)"Money Inc,we don't care which pay-per-view we get our shot,but when we do,we will kick your asse's,and we will become The New Tag Team Champs!"(The British Bulldog flexes his muscles)
Piper: Like I say... beat Demolition, and we'll see where ya stack up!
(Owen,and Davey Boy leave)
Piper: (looks to the camera) Busy day, wouldn't ya say?
KING OF THE RING REPORT
Dok Hendriks is in the Event Center and he looks PUMPED UP! He talks quickly.
Dok: We are within FIVE days of the KING OF THE RING! Who's going to become the 1997 King of the Ring? Will it be Sting? Or Stone Cold? Maybe the Giant? Or even Stevie Ray! I'm fired up!
Dok: Also on this card... Brian F'N Pillman challenges Vader for his WORLD TITLE!! Brian is standing by.
BRIAN PILLMAN
Pillman is standing somewhere in the back. He's up to his waist in foam WWF title belts from the souvenier stand. His shirt says 'F' everything.
Pillman: First things first... I heard the Anvil was tearing around backstage last night in El Paso, looking for me! Well Neidhart... let me say this, you pot-bellied hippo... I WILL be at the King of the Ring! I'll be easy to spot... because I'll be GLITTERING with the gold of the WWF title!
Pillman: But Neidhart... I'm going to warn you now.... DON'T MESS WITH ME. Because if you do... you may just get a PAIN IN THE NECK, you PAIN IN THE NECK! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Dok: What did THAT mean? Well, I can't imagine Pillman winning the World Title... but I couldn't imagine him winning the Four Sided Match either! Imagine... Pillman... THE CHAMP! I'm not sure I like the sound of that.
Dok starts moving around backstage. King of the Ring information comes up on the screen: ORDER BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON, 12PM (EDT)
Dok: Wellll, also on the card, we'll finally hear Wild Chylde DiBiase's decision concerning Corey Major. I for one, did not feel too confident for young Corey after seeing Wild Chylde on Raw and hearing her father.
Dok: SPEAKING of her father, at the King of the Ring FREE-FOR-ALL, Ted DiBiase is putting Ahmed Johnson through the GAUNTLET! Marc Mero or Johnny B. Badd....then Farooq... and of course, Lex Luger, the Total Package! If Ahmed makes it through, he can come to the WWF WITH his WCW World Title! I'll be willing to bet that the Million Dollar Man doesn't want THAT to happen. Ooops... I hope Vincer Kaden didn't hear me say 'BET'.
Dok pauses before the First Aid facility in the back.
Dok: A similar facility will be set up in Providence, and you can bet the NEXT two matches I will talk about will be sending superstars to it! I'm talking about the STRETCHER MATCH....and the NO DISQUALIFICATION TAG TEAM MATCH!
Dok: Roxanne is standing by now....!
ROXANNE
The camera is tight up to Roxanne's face. She looks determined and ready.
Roxanne: Womankind... FIVE DAYS AWAY! In Providene, I will BEAT YOU... and I will do it ONCE AND FOR ALL.... for ALL the ROCK-A-HOLICS! Your REIGN of terror and madness ends... at the KING OF THE RING!
Dok: Phew! She is ONE hot wrestler! I mean... she's MAD... and ready to wrestle... you know... STEAMIN'! Geez!
Dok: Anyway, let's not forget... the Hart Foundation taking on Demolition! This all started when Ax and Smash tried to OBLITERATE Jim Neidhart, who was filling in some color commentary during one of their matches. HEY, I think he was COMPLIMENTING them with the remarks about KISS!
Dok: Welll... that didn't offend them HALF as much as losing the tag titles did. Demolition, just one night after Money, Inc.'s highly controversial win, stormed the Hart's dressing room and banged them up pretty bad. Jim Neidhart's knee is STILL in question. But he's running the ship for the Pink and Black... and Ax and Smash may turn up Black and Blue for it!
Dok: Let's hear from a few competitors in the King of the Ring tournament!
