DEMOLITION PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Fog swirls in front of the camera, out of it steps Demolition.

Ax: Raven you interfered in Vader's match costing him the win. Then you and your flunky Zeus decided to beat on our stablemate, we could not have that. But Raven, we do not care who your firends are if you even THINK about getting involved tonite we will injure you. And what is funny after you attacked Hart on Superstars they may help us. Don't be a fool Raven, stay away from us. We do not CARE who we hurt, if you cross us you will go down.

Smash: Harts, time to lose. Those belts are ours, we defeated you at the Rumble, you have no chance against us, your win was a DQ win. Do not expect the ref to be so kind again.

Ax: We are the most dominating team in the WWF, noone can stop us, you can only hope to avoid us. Hart Foundation, shine up our belts for us we intend to take them home tonight.

Smash: Anvil, Hitman, prepare to be

Both: DEMOLISHED!!

HART FOUNDATION PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

pre-match:

The Hart Foundation are backstage, wearing their leather jackets, sunglasses, wrestling singlets and Unified title belts.

Bret: Dean, I was giving you the respect I thought you deserved. But you want to talk about diferences fine. Dean I have held every title but the newest in the WWF, as I recall you have won only the Crusierweight and U.S. titles over there in WCW. You have never had the skills to take the WCW Heavyweight title, and you do not have the tag teaming ability to win whatever they have left over there. (Bret smacks his title belts) So Dean, I respect your skills, but you have not proven yourself to be in my league yet. Beat me and you'll prove it. But Iceman you are going down to the Hitman.

Anvil: Raven you IDIOT! Why the hell did you kick my partner. HUH!? Just because Bret as the idiot sense of honor and did not want to take advantage of your aid. Bret had the match well in hand he was beating Vader, ,and you cost him the match so I wacked you one. get involved in this match and you won't make it to the streatcher match tomorrow.

Bret: Demolition, this is your third shot at us, we are 1 and 1, after tonight we will still be champs, and you will have to work your way back up again.

Anvil: Ax Smash, you are two big men, who have even bigger egos, and must have smoe hideous facial scars since you wear all that make-up, but tonight we will walk out of here with our belts, and you will just have to disapear in a puff of smoke.

The Hart Foundation leaves the area.

BACK AT RINGSIDE...

The ring is ready for the Main Event... when suddenly the large video wall comes to life above the entryway. On it... it's Dean Malenko, standing side by side with Faarooq.

Faarooq: Dean Malenko, what do you think about what we are about to see?

Dean Malenko: We're about to see more failure. Ax and Smash are hardly considered wrestlers.... BY wrestlers. Hitman, you'd better prepare yourself better. Because Summerslam is coming. And so is the Iceman!

Faarooq: And you two punks can keep your WWF tag team title belts. They aren't worth much more then the prize from a cracker jack box. But those WCW World Tag Team titles... they belong to WCW! Those gang-runnin' punks Harlem Heat lost those titles... but they belong right here in the WCW. And at Summerslam... we're taking them back... whether they are strapped to your dead bodies or held high over our heads. One way or another, WCW will prevail.

Dean and Faarooq step back from the camera and 'watch' the match...
