THE GIANT PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Giant: Hart, when you look at me what do you see, do you see the man that chokeslammed you for the title, Do you see the number one contender, Do you see all that i see, in you there is much skill but as the great Bobby Heenan once said "A good big man will beat a good little man anyday." So little man, be ready to feel the full power of the Giant.

BRET HART PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

The Hitman stands here, wearing his wrestling singlet, Calgary Hitmen leather jacket, his sunglasses and pink and black leather gloves.

Bret: Giant. The biggest man in the WWF, the number one contender for the WWF title, and not a bad wrestler either. Well, I have faced Giants before and I have won and I have lost. I won't guarentee a win, in case people have not noticed I am on a losing streak, but I will tell you this I will NOT lie over and lose, and I will not be stupid and try to out strength this guy, I will out wrestle him. We will meet again for the Tag Team titles, but today it is you and me alone. Well that is as long as your partner stays outside of the ring. I am pretty sure mine will.

(Off Stage)

Anvil: HA! I did promise.

Bret: Alright Giant, you may weight double my weight, but I am going to chop you down to size. Remember Giant, I am the Best there is, the Best there was and the Best there ever will be.

THE MAIN EVENT
the Giant
w/Terry Taylor, Todd Pettingill & the Corporate Machine
vs.
Bret Hitman Hart
w/the Anvil, the Warrior, Bobby Heenan and Brutus Beefcake

The Match:
The Giant comes down with Terry Taylor, Todd and the Machine. Taylor is holding his TV title, his tag title and the Giant's tag title. The Giant steps in the ring, bouncing off the ropes, and he throws one hand in the air toward the crowd. The fans boo him LOUDLY!

The Hart Foundation music starts to play, as the Hitman Bret Hart heads down to ringside, following him is the Anvil, Jim Neidhart. The Anvil is wearing street clothes, sunglasses, a leather jacket and black leather gloves. The other Mega Powers come down. Brutus is carrying his hedgeclippers.

When he reaches ringside the Hitman removes his jacket and takes off his sunglasses and puts them on a young girl who is holding up a sign that says GO BRET!

He then rolls into the ring, and raises his hands to the fans, as he does that fireworks explode above the ring.

Bret then gets ready. As soon as the bell rings, Bret advances in at the Giant and blasts a kick down into his knee! He pulls back... then hits a diving shoulderblock into that same knee! The Giant is rocked... but he doesn't go down!

Bret goes back to the ropes.... then runs in... DROPKICK!! Still the Giant doesn't go down!! Bret RAKES the Giant in the eys, suprising him! He HEAD BUTTS the Giant in the chest!! The Giant slams down a HEAVY arm into Bret's back and shoulder area... then he pulls him up... and DROPS HIM IN A POWERSLAM!!

The Giant sits on Bret's mid-section and applies the IRON CLAW! Terry Taylor applauds appreciatively at ringside. The Giant rolls off and waits for Bret to stand.

He does... and the Giant catches him with a BOOT to the face!!! He yanks the Hitman's arm, toward him...SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE! Bret holds the Giant's arm... and tries to yank it into an armwringer!

The Giant PUNCHES him off! He hooks the Hitman's head and spins him around like a RUDE AWAKENING! But he doesn't DROP down... he LEANS FORWARD!!! Bret's feet leave the mat as he dangles off of the Giant's shoulder's by his NECK!!!

JR: It's like he's HANGING HIM!!!

Bret kicks with his feet, trying to escape! Just then, Todd jumps up onto the apron and seems ready to enter the ring! Referee Mitzy Johnson turn around and yells at Todd to get out! He argues back!!!

The Anvil starts to head around toward Todd to set things straight... but the Machine gets in front of the Anvil, taunting him. The Anvil looks left... looks right.... LAUGHS... then hauls off and PUNCHES THE MACHINE IN THE FACE!!! The Machine is flipped head over heels and he drops to the mat! THE FANS GO CRAZY!!!

But meanwhile....
