WWF IN YOUR HOUSE! LIVEEE.. THIS SUNDAY, ONLY ON PPV!
Following an overly hyped Mene Gene Okerlund speaking over this Sunday’s PPV promo package we cut to focus on the Main Event, the first image presented is that of Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart, exiting the to the back following his match with Rob Van Dam.
BRET HART
You know, this Sunday has a lot of people talking about who the next World Wrestling Federation Champion is going to be… Hulk Hogan…
We see a flash of Hulk Hogan picking up his victory…
BRET HART
Lex Luger…
Luger flashes up performing the Torture Rack…
BRET HART
My younger brother… A man who hates me, and in spite of this I love him dearly. I respect him…
The King Of Harts, Owen Hart flashes up alongside Jim Neidhart in a soundless video of them talking trash following Owen’s victory to advance to the Main Event.
BRET HART
Then of course there is The Hitman… The Excellence of Execution… For the last coupla’ years I’ve talked a lot.. About how it's my time, about how it's my time to sit on top of the mountain, and be the World Wrestling Federation Champion… A lot of people are counting out the Hart’s.. When ya talk about household names… There is no denying that Hulk Hogan, is a household name.. But so is Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart… I’m glad you decided to stay over here in the WWF Hogan, because we are finally going to get the match the fans want, at least in some capacity. You’ve been ducking me for years, because of your fear of being exposed for the lack of wrestling abilities you possess… Yeah i said it, Hulk Hogan has been carried to every good match he has ever had… Hell on Sunday, I will carry him to another one..
Switching from promotional footage of the four main event wrestlers in various alterations we switch to a feed of Bret Hart sat being spotted during a shoulder workout.
BRET HART
Now I’m not going to discount the IF factor in this one… Lex Luger, in a short space of time you have made a name for yourself here in the World Wrestling Federation, body slamming Yokozuna, driving around in a cool bus… One day I think you will make an excellent WWF Champion… But it won’t be at the expense of The Hitman… Owen… Where do I begin?
Dramatic music prompts an image of Bret Hart being put through his paces by his father in the Hart Dungeon.
BRET HART
You know me and Owen.. We would wrestle down in our family basement.. We all called it the dungeon..
Bret laughs..
BRET HART
Ya’know when you went down into the Dungeon, you went down there to train, blood sweat and tears, any less and my dad Stu Hart, he wouldn’t even entertain ya… There's been some great kids come in and out of there aside from the direct members of The Hart Family, but without a doubt the two to look at right now are the Hart brothers, myself and Owen… It’s a shame about his bad attitude… But none the less I won't be looking past Owen come Sunday… One of the advantages I have over the other guys in the match is that I have trained, I have wrestled my brother Owen.. For hours… I will always lay claim to being the best technical wrestler on the planet… But Hogan and Luger need to watch out for what Owen brings…
We get an image of Owen using unorthodox moves during his training sessions in The Hart Dungeon.
BRET HART
Owen, he always wanted to do more.. Ya’know me and Lance, or me and Jim would sweat it out on the mat for hours every day, you would stop for a break… Look out the window, and there's Owen, jumping off of something… From a young age he just didn’t want to keep his feet on the ground… He is a great high-flyer, he does things that superstars, just can’t quite comprehend yet… Luckily for me, I grew up with him…
BRET HART
I got to watch him learn, evolve…
BRET HART
If there is one thing I will always remember about the time I spent down there with my dad and Owen.. It was to never give up, to always try and find a way to overcome… That’s why this Sunday, this Sunday means the world to me… Quite literally… If I somehow manage to overcome Hulk Hogan, Lex Luger and my brother Owen...If I somehow manage to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion… Then the question will finally have been answered.. Just as to who exactly the best in this business is…
Hart removes his hat, batting it into the open palm of his opposite hand before proceeding…
BRET HART
Owen… We have spent 3 out of 4 years in the World Wrestling Federation, at each other's throats, bleeding and putting each other through hell and misery for these fans… This Sunday, it ends.. There will be no more excuses, there will be no what if’s, there is a fifty-fifty shot that a Hart will be walking out of In Your House, WWF Champion… Which means that there is a fifty-fifty chance I can make my dad, who will be watching at ringside, one of the proudest men in the world! I am making a promise, that win or lose, if my brother Owen wins, I will be the man my father raised me to be, I will extend my hand and I will give you a chance to accept my congratulations… And finally… Put this rivalry to bed….
‘’GOD-DAMMIT! WHEN I SAY YOU LET ME IN YOU LET ME IN!’’
Hart looks over his shoulder past the squat rack towards the door swinging open, Jim Cornette comes crashing through the door with a security guards hands wrapped around him, with his feet off the floor Cornette begins to hit his racket off the guard’s huge arms to little avail..
BRET HART
JIM WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
JIM CORNETTE
YOU GET YOUR GODDAM HANDS OFF OF ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM! I PROFESSIONAL WRESTLIN’!
BRET HART
Let him go… Relax… Let him in…
The guard drops Cornette down to his feet, Cornette brushes off his jacket and shakes his fist at the guard before turning to Bret…
JIM CORNETTE
BRETT! JUST THE MAN I NEEDED TO SEE!
BRET HART
What do you want Jim?
JIM CORNETTE
I WANT TO HELP BRET…
Bret laughs to himself in dis-belief…
BRET HART
You wanna help me?
JIM CORNETTE
That’s right Bret… I can give you something that you want… More than anything in this world…
Bret stands up and turns towards Cornette, he dabs his forehead with a towel…
BRET HART
With all due respect Jim, when it comes to being the WWF Champion… You know as well as anybody that I don’t do things you way..
JIM CORNETTE
BRET.. BUT BRET…. I’m not tellin’ ya to do anything you don’t wanna! All I am saying is I can make something happen, something you want more than being the WWF CHAMPION!
BRET HART
Jim, all I want is the…
JIM CORNETTE
LET ME STOP YOU THERE… Just hear me out… FIVE MINUTES! That’s all I want is five minutes of your time… Hear me out… You can have it all…
Bret looks down at Cornette, he washes the towel across his hands and throws it aside… Bret turns back towards the camera.
BRET HART
SUNDAY NIGHT… IN YOUR HOUSE… We find out… ONCE AND FOR ALL! WHO IS.. THE BEST THERE IS… THE BEST THERE WAS! AND THE BEST… THERE EVER WILL BE!
Hart finishes his promo with his definitive statement before turning back towards Jim Cornette…
BRET HART
You’ve got five minutes Jim… Get the cameras out of here…
JIM CORNETTE
THANK YOU BRET! THAT’S ALL I NEED!
