WWF Superstars, July 19, 1997

---

The Anvil Jim Neidhart, and a unknown man head down the aisle, with out any pomp or circumstance, they are both dressed in street clothes, but the unknown man is wearing a hat. The Anvil rolls into the ring and hold the ropes open for the man. The Anvil commenders a microphone from Howard Finkle, and stands in the center of the ring.

Anvil: Hello there everyone from the lone surviving member of the Wargames. All I have to say, is LOD yer gonna die, again. But Bret and I were going to come out here and well, try to help solve part of the mystery of Sarah D's disappearance. Bret was going to do it his way, but now we do it mine. We are gonna head to the back now, find this guy hit him with a chair, and drag his sorry ass out here and question him! How does that sound to you fans!

(The fans cheer)

Bret's voice: It sounds like a dumb idea Jim.

Anvil: Bret? Where the hell are you?

The Titantron lights up, and we see Bret Harts' den in Calgary. Bret is sitting in an easy chair, his left arm is in a sling and he has a nose splint, and bandages on his head.

Bret: Yeah Jim, and what if this guy was innocent, and you wacked him, then what would you do?

Anvil: uhh, apologize?

Bret: No, I don't think so, thanks to modern technology I can interact with you all from my home. So lets do this right. First off, thank you all for your letters, and kind emails asking about my health and my families. Blade is doing well, he was quite scared, but he is feeling better. I wanted to thank Corey right now and here for catching him and preventing him from getting hurt. Thanks C-major. My family is all recovering, but it will be awhile before I want them on the front lines again, believe you me!

Anvil: All right lets get down to business!

Bret: Okay one of my good friends has disapperared, and I am doing all I can to find her and get her back safe. We all know that is Sarah D. Well, I have had my suspicions about someone, for a little while, and I think it is time to bring this man to light. I have NO proof that he is the man or part of the group that kidnapped Sarah, let me state that right now. I could be calling out an innocent man. But if he is innocent, he is doing a good job of covering up his past, hell he is covering up his face. This man innsinuated himself into the Network, through a supposed attack on a Network traitor, this man has recently resurfaced after an absense from the WWF, resurfaced AFTER Sarah had been taken I will admit. Still this proves nothing. Well, not being one to go off half cocked,

The Anvil grins.

Bret: I hired this private detective. Mr. Stewart. And he has confirmed some things for me.

Anvil: You know, I still think we should have lift the private dick at home, and just jumped this guy with a chair. Then beaten on him until he told us what we wanted to know.

Bret: Jim, you find a suspect and use your methods on him, this one is mine and we will treat him with respect, trust me this is better, right now, if he would be so kind to come out here, and hopefully clear his name, HBK's Bodyguard, please come to the ring.

(the fans all start to murmmer)

Anvil: Otherwise known as. . .

Bret: Not now.

HBKs Bodyguard come down to the ring . He is wearing his Black sweat suit and black ski mask. He rolls into the ring and comes to stand in front of Anvil with him arms folded in front of him. He cocks his head in question. Then looks up at the screen with Bret on it.

HBK's Bodyguard: So just what is this all about?

Bret: All right, if you wouldn't mind unmasking this would be alot eaiser.

(HBKs Bodyguard looks around a bit)

HBKs Bodyguard: ( Shakes head) I don't think that would be wise at this time. We can handle it like this. So why did you want me out here?

Bret: Fine, we will do it this way, first off I was suspicious of you from the moment you came in. But Mr. Stewart confirmed who you are, he followed you home, found who owns the home, who pays the bills there, and he made sure only ONE person left that home, you are not boarding there. You OWN it, don't you. Mike.

(Mike drops his arm down at his side and lowers his head. Then reachs up and pulls the mask off. He looks at Bret)

Mike: Yes I own the house and you know who I am. So now what?

Anvil: (the Anvil gets in his face)Okay now on to the Sarah D part, Mike Rotundo, the reason we think you did it, and you BETTER have a good explanation for all this farce, getting in good with the Network again. You were origionally a part of Ted DiBiase's Coperation, hell you were his right hand man. I find it coincidental that HE is sticking his nose in the WWF again, and you show up in this outfit. ALSO he is sticking his nose in the Wedding which Sarah was to be a part of, so Mike you back with Ted, or should I say Irwin?

Mike:( looks at Anvil)Yeah I was with Ted at one time and look what happened.He did nothing for me and used me. Why would I want to go back to that? I got my second chance when I joined up with Slick. I don't want anything to do with Ted. I thought Sarah was a great choice for the maid of honor. She and Wild Chylde have been great friends.

Bret: Right you did get a chance to reform, and you did, thanks to Slick, who also was kidnapped after you joined up, I may add. That was your second chance Mike, and YOU BLEW IT. You betrayed the Network and joined the Empire. So, there are remnants of the Empire left Mike, are you working with Taylor, Sabrina? Who?

Mike: First off I had nothing to do with Slick's Kidnapping just like I have nothing to do with Sarah's disappearance. Your right I did blew it with my second chance. I made what I thought was a good business decission. Then found myself in the same position I was in with Ted. That's why I staged my own disappearance. I was simply going to disappear from the WWF. Then I got to talking to a friend. One that was willing to give me a third chance that I did not think I would get. But I knew that it would hurt him if I just showed up as his body guard so I decided not to let anyone know it WAS me. Can you blame me for wanting to get a chance again yet not hurt the one person that was giving me that chance.Thanks to Shawn I am getting one last chance. I am not stupid and I will not blow this one. No I am not working with Sabrina ,Taylor or anyone other then Shawn. And I think he has enough people to keep an eye on me to be sure I don't do anything wrong.

Bret: Okay Mike, I hate to do this, but can you provide an alibi, for the Night of Sarah's disapearance?

Suddenly, the crowd starts to roar, and the Anvil starts looking around, expecting an attack. But Mike just stands there watching him, and after a moment, the Hart Foundation finds the reason for the cheers.. Shawn Michaels is walking down the aisle, followed by Diesel, both wearing their DWA jackets! They walk straight to ringside, not slapping hands this time, their faces grim behind the sunglasses. They get to the ring, and Shawn rolls in as Diesel steps over the ropes after grabbing another microphone. Shawn takes it and stands next to Mike as Diesel stands behind them.

Shawn: Well there's alot of rumors flying around again, and now it looks like it's getting to the point where we're gonna have to start uncovering secrets that would have been best left buried.

Shawn stands in the middle of the ring, turning around as he talks so he can see the whole audience.

Shawn: When I left the Empire, I kept a few contacts.. because even when they were on top, they still weren't a happy bunch of people.. so when I came back, and the Empire was crumbling, Mike here contacted me. He was tired of being used for his money and connections, and he wanted to get some measure of revenge. So we helped him stage his "attack" and dissapearance. Since then, he's been watching our backs, and helping out the Network when he can.. and he's just as pissed off about Sarah's kidnapping as anyone.. So you're barking up the wrong tree here..

Shawn backs up a step to stand next to Diesel, and the two stand behind Mike, waiting for Bret and Anvil's response.

Bret: Ah hell, Shawn's word is good for me, you may have made a mistake with the Empire Shawn, but before then, we were friends, and you have proven yourself since then. If you trust Mike, then that is good enough for me. Anvil?

Anvil: All right FINE, we got the wrong guy, dang it. I agree, Shawn's word is good enough for me too.

Bret: I am sorry we did this to you Michael, but Sarah means alot to us all, and well. We were not sure if Shawn knew who you were, and damn it, how could or can we know you are to be trusted after that past?

Mike: Well Bret I don't expect you to. After my past I wouldn't trust me. I'm just glad that Shawn is giving me this last chance.

Bret: Well I hope you prove Shawn's trust Mike. Good luck, and again sorry about blowing your cover, but maybe it is time to clear your name in earnst.

Anvil: Hmmm yeah, sorry, I guess I am glad we didn't wack him with a chair. Maybe I will go interrogate Pillman. . . .

Mike: It is ok and well I have an idea if you Bret and Shawn don't mind? I would like to put up an award for any information On what happened to Sarah. Of course the paymant will only be paid if the information leads us to Sarah. And well I think it would be best if all information went to either you or Shawn at this time.

The Anvil offers his hand to Mike Rotundo to shake, then holds the ropes open for everyone to leave, and the satilite feed of the Hitman cuts off. Atlantra come out wearing her Blue-green low cut dress and carrying a picnic basket? She slides in to the ring and up to Anvil Smiling at him.

Atlantra: ( in a sweet voice) Hello Jimmy.

Anvil: Uhhhhhh, Hi.

Atlantra:( She looks down then up at Anvil with shy eyes) I really am not as bad as I make myself look. (looks up with a smile) I was wondering if you would like to go on a picnic with me? ( She shows him what is in the Basket) We can talk?

Anvil: I am not sure if that is a good idea, you have attacked some of my friends in the past and well have shown yourself to be generally nasty.

(While he is saying this the Anvil has NOT been looking Atlantra in the eyes, his focus has been slightly lower)

Atlantra: I am sure with your help I could change my ways. Will you help me PLEASE.

Anvil: I don't know. . .

Atlantra: Come on lets go eat and you can show me the proper way to act. ( Smiles sweetly at him)

Anvil: Well since you went to all the trouble of bringing that food I cannot see what the harm will be, just this once. And we will talk about what you have been doing wrong. . . right?

Atlantra: Of course.

Anvil: Well all right!
