BRET HITMAN HART PRE-MATCH COMMENTS
The Hitman Bret Hart stands here wearing his wrestling singlet, his Calgary Hitmen leather jacket and his sunglasses.
Bret: Raven, What the hell was up with that, you may have a problem with Vader. Okay I can respect that, but getting invloved in my match was a mistake. A big mistake. Your next one was even assuming I would help you in your assult. Yeah Vader had taken the initivative, but I was working on getting it back, you cost me a win, and you attacked me because I don't like your menthods. Well this is a standard match Raven, no chains, nor No DQ. Can you wrestle a normal match or will you get to extreme and get DQ'ed. Well either way
Bret takes off his glasses.
Bret: I can keep up, extreme is nothing new to me. So hotshot, its time to see if you are good or lucky.
Bret puts back on his glasses
Bret: Ravens are carrion eaters, they pick over dead carcasse and are dirty birds, I can see why you took their name as your own. Tonight you step in the ring with the exellence of execution. So lace up your shoes tight and lets get it on.
The Hitman leaves.

The Match:
Raven is slumped down in one of the corners of the ring as Zeus and VVS watch from the outside. Come out and Play by the Offspring is heard over the speakers.The Hart Foundation music starts to play as pink and white lights move across the fans. The Hitman Bret Hart then starts to make his way to ringside as the fans start cheering. The Anvil, Jim Neidhart follows him, the Anvil is carrying all of the Unified tag belts and his black bag, he is dressed in street clothes. Finally, Corey Major comes out, carrying the Intercontinental Title belt. Corey slaps hands with the fans and stands at ringside, near the announcer's table. Pillman nods at Corey.
When Bret gets to ringside he takes of his sunglasses and gives them to a teenage boy at ringside. The Hitman then rolls into the ring, stands... and stares at Raven, awaiting the bell.
JR: Look at the eyes of the Hitman! He looks angry! I would not want to be Raven!
Raven pulls him up to standing and walks up to the Hitman, they're eyes locked into stares.
Atlantra then comes down the aisle and circles around the ring to stand next to the Anvil. Corey's brow furrows when he sees her, but he says nothing. JR calls to Corey...
JR: Corey, could you tell us why you're here? Scouting?
Corey: Nah... well... maybe. But remember, Raven asked me ta join up with him. And after what he pulled on the Hitman, I ain't havin' that. But he told me backstage that he'd apologize to the Hitman. I'm here ta see if that's going to happen.
The ref calls for the bell... and the Hitman ERUPTS!! Bret dives at Raven with a series of punches... then a European Uppercut! Bret plants his head under Raven's jaw... holds the head... JAWBREAKER!! Raven pops up, holding his face and the Hitman grabs his arm... SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE!!
Pillman: See? It's an apology! He's going EASY on Bret!
JR: This is something DEAN MALENKO should be watching!
Bret stomps on Raven's knee as he gets up to his feet. Bret drops in for a single leg take down, but instead ducks under Raven's arm, hooks the body... and turns him into a SIDE SUPLEX!
Bret stands up with the leg, shaking it a bit.. then HAMSTRING PULLING it over. Bret stomps on the leg and wraps it into a step over toe hold, really driving it against the 'grain'.
Neidhart puts his arm around Atlantra at ringside and takes a prideful look at the Hitman, who is going to work in the ring. But just then, his attention is diverted...
Demolition walks down the aisle and stands at the end of the runway. They are wearing their full black studded leather outfits. They cross their arms and watch the match. Fog wisps off their clothing and disappates into the air.
The Anvil reaches into his black bag, and pulls forth a lead pipe, muttering to himself.
JR: We could have a WAR here in a second! We have representatives of THREE different groups out about ringside!
Pillman: FOUR if you count Corey and me!
Back in the ring, Bret has dragged Raven to the corner. He drapes Raven's leg across the bottom rope... then crashes his weight down on top of it. Raven pulls it in, feeling the pain. The Hitman yanks Raven up and Raven starts jabbing at the Hitman's chest and mid-section. Bret backs away and throws a kick in, keeping Raven back.
Raven grabs a handful of tights... falls back.. and forces Bret from the ring to the outside. Raven stands up, being admonished for his actions by the referee. Raven stares at the ref for a moment, but Senior Referee John Pinnette ignores him, keeping a close eye on VVS and Zeus at ringside, who seem to be getting close to the Hitman.
Raven follows Bret out and pulls up the black protective mats, exposing the cold, hard concrete beneath. Zeus and VVS hold their ground as Atlantra and Neidhart make their prescense known on the other side. Demolition continues to watch from the end of the aisle. Corey yells for the Hitman to be careful...
JR: This is where Raven is his most dangerous...
Raven pulls the Hitman up for a BODYSLAM... but Bret falls behind Raven and AXEHANDLES him in the back of the head! He grabs Raven by the hair and runs him toward the table.... and SMASHES HIM INTO IT!!! Raven falls back from the table and ONTO THE CONCRETE!!!!
The Hitman rolls into the ring as the count hits... SIX.... SEVEN.... Raven is still down!! EIGHT.... NINE.... Raven slowly starts to get up...
TEN!!!!
Pillman: That was a FAST count! Fire that referee!
JR: That's Senior Referee John Pinnette! You would question his judgement!?
Pillman: Absolutely!
Bret rolls out of the ring and high-fives Corey and the Anvil... but then gives a strange look at Atlantra, obviously suprised to see her there. Raven, VVS and Zeus leave ringside. They walk past Demolition, who slowly part and allow them up the aisle. Both sides exchange long glances at each other... but neither makes a move.
Atlantra is next to leave... then Corey Major moments later. The Hart Foundation stays at ringside, moving themselves to a neutral corner. Demolition also stay at ringside, arms folded and watching.
Pillman: What's all THIS about?
JR: Well... in a few moments, the Pearl River Powers and Owen and the Bulldog will lock up! And when that happens, you will have all four of the TOP ranked tag teams in the arena at the same time!
Pillman: (yawns) You say something, JR? All this 'excitement' is putting me to sleep!
JR: Do you have something ELSE you'd rather be doing?
Pillman: YEAH! Let's watch this next segment!
