WWE Monday Night RAW - January 11, 2010
Posted by: | CommentsRandy Orton came out, of course, with his own microphone interrupting the staredown between the baddest man on the planet and the man with the baddest tan in the planet. After Orton demanded that Tyson make him the #1 contender for the WWE title, Cena came to the ring. Yes, Cena had his own mic. Cena said that he beat Mike Tyson. Well first he had to go through Glass Joe, King Hippo (twice), Piston Honda, Super Macho Man and then spent the next two years trying to beat Mike Tyson. Jerry Lawler was nice enough to let the fans at home know that he was talking about Mike Tyson’s Punch Out circa 1985 Nintendo. Kofi Kingston came out next. He said that he had no business being out there. Yeah, good way to get him over by ‘admitting’ that he’s not in the same league with the others. Fans were rapid. Kingston actually stopped when they were chanting ‘Cena sucks’. Anyway after all three guys came out for a short, Sheamus decided that he deserves the night off. So Iron Mike decided that Von Kaiser, Bald Bull and John cena would go at it in a 3 way match with the winner to face Soda Popinksi at the Royal Rumble for the championship match.

Ted Dibiase Jr. & Cody Rhodes d. Marc Henry & Evan Bourne
Ted Dibiase Jr. & Cody Runnels came out to argue about which one of them will win the Royal Rumble. Dibiase said that even though Cody’s Father (Dusty Rhodes) said that he had the looks of a movie star, that he WAS actually a movie star. He said the Marine 2 is world’s better than the original Marine. The Marine 2, staring Ted Dibiase is available on DVD and Blu-Ray. Runnels said that his 5th grade graduation video was better than the original Marine. They were interrupted by the Kool-Aid Man Mark Henry and Evan Bourne, their opponents. During the match, Jerry Lawler talked more, but his voice was clearly giving out.
DX talks in the back, and HHH says Bret Hart was one thing but Mike Tyson? Shawn says he made peace with Bret Hart after 12 years, and now wants to do the same with Mike Tyson. HHH says Tyson is insane, certifiable, and he’s the man who knocked Shawn out for four years. Shawn says that’s the media talking, and he thinks he’s a changed man. He’s going to prove it.
Shawn stops by Mike Tyson’s office, and says after last week he and Bret got closure. Tonight he wants to take the opportunity to have that same closure with Mike. He wants Tyson to know that he forgives him for knocking him out at Wrestlemania XIV. Tyson says the problem is he doesn’t need Shawn’s forgiveness, and he’s love to knock him out again. Jericho stops by to reinforce the fact that Tyson doesn’t like him, and that he doesn’t like him. Shawn asks why Jericho is here, because he was kicked off Raw. Jericho says he was able to get Tyson’s number, because they’re kindred spirits. They’ve both been oppressed by the unwashed masses, and “the man.” Jericho says he got a deal that says DX has a match tonight, and if they lose that match Jericho gets a free pass to be on whatever show he wants. Tyson says the match will be DX vs. Jericho and Tyson. Shawn says that’s fine because he still owes Tyson one. Tyson says he’s looking for the payment.
We return to the announce table, where Michael Cole embarrassingly marks out for the return of Tyson to the ring before throwing us to a recap of Raw is Bret.
In rong Promo: Jack Swagger says he’s going to win the Royal Rumble. Maybe next he’ll say hi to his boyfriend Mike, because he has about as good as shot as that cameraman. He says the Rumble is tailor made for someone like him, but since last year he was defending the ECW title he’s never been in a Royal Rumble. He guarantees us (x3) that no one on any show can beat him. He’s issuing an All American American American American Challenge that if anyone can throw him over the top rope to come out and try. Santino comes out and says that’s a coincidence, because he was about to come out and issue the All Italian Italian challenge. He wants to know how we settle this, and says they’ll face off right now. He tells Swagger he’ll drop him like a bicycle with no kickstand, and orders the ref to ring the bell.
Over the Top Rope Challenge:
Jack Swagger vs. Santino Marella
Swagger dominates Santino right away driving him into the buckle, and hitting a Vader Bomb. Swagger goes to dump Santino, but he holds onto the top rope and Swagger goes over the top at 0:53! SANTINO WINS! SANTINO WINS! SANTINO WINS! Swagger goes after Santino, but Santino sets a new WWE 40 yard dash record heading to the back.
winner: Santino Marella
WWE Championship #1 Contender Triple Threat Match:
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena
Orton attacks Cena at the bell, but gets knocked back by Kofi. Cena whips Orton to the corner, and then he and Kofi team up for a double suplex. Kingston hits a Stinger Splash, and delivers a European upper cut. Cena delivers a fisherman’s suplex, and Kingston delivers a pair of forearms sending Orton to the floor. Cena goes out after Orton and fires him back inside. Kofi and Cena deliver a double back elbow, and Cena hits an elbow drop. Kingston fires Orton to the floor, and turns to look at Cena. They face off as Sheamus wanders out to the stage and catches their eye. That allows Orton to slither inside to attack the faces from behind. Orton stomps on both guys as we head to commercial. We return with Orton controlling Kofi with a side headlock as Cena lays prone on the floor. Orton catches Cena coming inside, and delivers a hangman’s DDT. Kofi has recovered though and dives off the top with a flying crossbody off the top rope. Kofi delivers a series of kicks, and then a dropkick. Orton reverses an Irish Whip into an inverted backbreaker, but Cena is back now with a running bulldog. Cena charges at Orton, but misses and shoulderblocks the ringpost. Here’s Kofi now with the SOS for two, and a kick to the face sets up a boom drop attempt. Cena hits a drop toehold as Kingston hits the ropes, and locks in an STF. Orton makes the save, but Cena comes right back with a pair of flying shoulderblocks. Cena hits a protoplex, and connects with the five knuckle shuffle. Cena goes for the Attitude Adjustment, but Kofi stops that and delivers a jumping clothesline. Kofi connects with the boom drop to Cena, and calls for the Trouble in Paradise which connects but knocks Cena to the floor. Kofi hops to the second rope and delivers a series of right hands to Orton.
Cody Rhodes is out and delivers a dropkick to the ringsteps taking out Cena. He then distracts the referee long enough for Dibiase to run out and knock Kofi from the top rope saving Orton. Orton then connects with an RKO to finish at 11:15. So the Legacy tension is on hold for now, until Orton doesn’t show proper gratitude for the help I’d assume. Orton stares down Sheamus after the match.
winner: Randy Orton
Backstage: Josh Mathews talks to Mike Tyson by his match, but he’s quickly interrupted by Hornswoggle. Tyson says if he sees Swoggle tonight during the match he’s going tear his intestines out and jump rope with it. Then he’s going to put his fingers up his nostrils and pull his brain out before putting it against the newspaper and smash it against the window like silly putty. So he tells Swoggle to just move on and he hopes he doesn’t see him tonight. Swoggle backs off in fear. The entire IWC just became massive Tyson fans.
The Miz is outside the WWE Superstars Locker Room: He says when he showed up no one in the WWE locker room or WWE Universe respected him. He says they made his life a living hell, and in that locker room he got kicked out for eating a piece of chicken and spilling crumbs over a referee’s bag. He said he would see WWE Superstars like JBL (including a great JBL imitation), and says everyone wanted rid of him. He says used that negativity to fuel him to ignite a wrath against everyone in WWE today. Now he doesn’t even go in that locker room, as he has his own private dressing room. That dressing room is for the Evan Bourne’s and MVP’s.
He makes his way to the arena & inside the ring: The Miz he says the same MVP who is the number one contender for the US Championship. He says MVP has joined a long list of people to get publically humiliated by him. Miz says MVP doesn’t even deserve to be in the same ring as him, and if it was up to him MVP would still be in jail. He doesn’t believe in second chances because he has been perfect his entire life. He says the fans still boo him, and cheer him. He says that’s okay because he’s rather them boo him for what he is than cheer for him for something he’s not. He’s the reason we watch Raw, and he’s the most captivating star on the show. He says MVP has all the bling, and that’s great but let’s face fact. You can put diamonds on a dog, but it’s still a mut. He tells the “mistakes” (fans) they will respect him, because he’s the Miz and he’s awesome. MVP comes out and says the WWE Universe knows all about his history, and he’s never run from it. In fact he’s embraced it because he doesn’t want people to make the same mistakes he did. He says he does have a taste for the finer things in life, but he earned all of it. He says he worked hard to earn the respect of WWE Universe and that is something Miz hasn’t done. He says he has worked hard to call himself a superstar in this circus we call WWE. He says we are all animals in this circus, but he assures Miz he’s no mut. He tells Miz to excuse him for a moment, and he can just stand there and suck.
MVP takes off his jacket, and tells Miz he’s a Bengal tiger while Miz is a monkey flinging poop. Miz says he might just fling some that hits his lips so MVP can taste what comes out of his mouth. MVP says Miz might think he’s tame because he likes the finer things in life, and because he’s now fan friendly. He dares Miz to go ahead and fling it, and then decides to go over his past. MVP says he acted like an animal, and was treated like one. He tells Miz that he survived a life that he’s only saw on TV, and dares him to open up the cage and find out just how tame this tiger really is. Miz starts to go for him, but MVP beats him to the punch and a brawl commences. MVP delivers a flying forearm and a drive by kick sending Miz to the floor.
A look back at last year’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and the announcement that tickets go on sale next week:
WWE Diva’s Championship Tournament First Round:
Eve Torres vs. Katie Lea Burchill
Katie Lea gets the jobber entrance as if this result was in a doubt, and Maryse joins the commentary team. Katie Lea grabs a bow and arrow, and then delivers a backbreaker for two. Katie delivers a spin kick, but Eve ducks a clothesline and delivers one of her own for two. Katie comes back a forearm, but a backdrop is blocked by a kick. Eve hits a dropkick, but misses a flipping legdrop at two. Eve then rolls up Katie out of nowhere to pick up the pin at 1:53. This match stunk like hot garbage.
winner: Eve Torres
Backstage: Carlito talks to Gail Kim and putting the moves on her as Vince walks by:
Vince is out and he wants to put an end to the rumors that he has hired extra security because he’s scared of Bret. Bret Hart isn’t here tonight, because Bret is intimidated. Vince says twelve years ago, Bret screwed Bret, but last week he screwed Bret. He said last week Bret wanted to play nice, and put the past behind him, but Vince doesn’t play nice. He says he doesn’t forget and doesn’t forgive. He said if Bret wanted closure he got it lying on the mat humbled and humiliated by Vince. Vince says if he wants closure again, he won’t get it because Bret will never, ever, be seen in the WWE again. Well that’s it, the rumors were all wrong, Bret will never be back. Ever. I mean, why would Vince lie?
Don Johnson and Jon Heder co-host Raw next week. Well the Guest Host’s just took a big step back.
D-Generation X vs. Chris Jericho & Mike Tyson
Triple H asks Shawn if he’s ready, and Shawn says he’s ready for an answer. He calls out Undertaker to give him an answer next week on Raw on if he will face him at Wrestlemania. Shawn starts the match with Tyson, and they lock up with Tyson throwing him away. After a few times Shawn gets frustrated, and runs into a shoulderblock from Tyson. Shawn finally tags out to HHH who stares down Tyson in the middle of the ring. Tyson backs HHH into the corner on the lockup, and finally Jericho tags into the match so we can actually see something other than a lockup. Jericho whips HHH into the ropes, but he goes for the pedigree which Jericho blocks. Shawn gets a right hand from the apron, and Jericho delivers a knee to the face. Tag to Shawn who delivers an inverted atomic drop, and they follow with a series of near fall sequences. Jericho goes for the Walls, but Shawn pushes him off and rolls him for two.
Jericho is able to get to Tyson, and tag in but here comes Hornswoggle in full on boxing gear as he wants a piece of Tyson. Tyson barely able to stop laughing tags out to Jericho, and then removes his shirt revealing a DX shirt to the surprise of absolutely no one. Jericho gets an ominous look on his face as he even knows what’s coming, and turns around long enough to get knocked the fuck out by Tyson. Shockingly Shawn, not HHH, covers Jericho and picks up the pin at 4:43. If you didn’t see that coming you’ve never watched wrestling, ever. After the match HHH brings Tyson’s son into the ring, and they all deliver DX chops for the Sportscenter moment as we’re out for the night.

Monday Night RAW - January 4, 2010
Posted by: | CommentsHello everyone and welcome to Monday Night RAW for January 4, 2010. We are live from the Nutter Center in Dayton, OH so lets get into it. A Bret Hart video package was shown to open the show. Bret “The Hit Man” Hart was introduced as tonight’s special guest host as he makes his way down to the ring.
Bret Hart opens by saying “Well I guess hell froze over”. He says that its been 12 years since he’s been back and it’s an amazing feeling. He says Vince always declined and told him it wasn’t possible for him to come back when he brought it up and tried to come back in the past. A LOUD “one more match” chant breaks out. He says “thank you” to all the fans for letting him not be forgotten. He owes everything to the WWE Universe and he thanks them again. He starts talking about memories and winning his first King of the Ring match and then Jerry Lawler jumping him afterward.
He then says he has another reason he’s there and he wants to get some things off his chest. The first thing is that he wants Shawn Michaels to come out! HBK’s entrance hits and here he comes! Shawn gets in the ring and goes face to face with Shawn Michaels. Bret then says he wants to bury the hatchet and call a truce right now. Shawn grabs a mic and says that before Bret gets his closure, he’s been waiting 12 years to say that Bret deserved what happened in Montreal. He says Bret disrespected him and the business and yes, he did have a hand in what Vince did that night. A loud “You screwed Bret” chant breaks out and Bret says that because of that, he rests his case.
Shawn says there’s a big part of him that doesn’t regret a bit of it. However, there’s another part of him that knows in the last 12 years, a lot of things in his life have changed. He says that he always respected Bret, but feels Bret didn’t respect him. There were times that he couldn’t stand the sight of Bret and he knows the feeling is mutual. When he thinks of Bret Hart, he doesn’t think of Montreal. He thinks of Anaheim, California - a 60 minute Ironman Match that no one thought the fans would want to see. But Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels went out there and did it. When Shawn thinks of Bret Hart, he thinks of the “Excellence of Execution”. Shawn tells Bret he’s not the only one who wants to move on. The last thing he has to say is are you sure and are you ready?
Bret then says being honest, Shawn wasn’t the easiest guy to love back then either. But he says Shawn’s right, their careers shouldn’t be hung on Montreal and tonight, they should take this opportunity to say that the two of them could be friends. He puts his hand out and wants Shawn to call a truce and bury the hatchet right now. The crowd boos, but Shawn shakes his hand. The crowd cheers..or at least some of them. Shawn starts to leave then he turns back and hugs Bret.
After all that Bret says there’s one more thing he wants to ask and before he can he needs Vince McMahon to come out there and face him too. As Bret is waiting for McMahon, Cole and Lawler briefly talks about the matches later for tonight as we head to commercial break.
Backstage: When we come back, Josh Matthews is waiting by Vince McMahon’s door when Vince shows up. Apparently, McMahon was in a meeting and didn’t hear Bret call him out. If Bret wants a public meeting, that’s fine with him, but he’ll do it on his terms later tonight when he calls Bret out. We then start the first match of the Diva Championship tournament.
Maryse vs. Brie Bella
They lock up and Maryse quickly goes to the ropes to fre herself. Brie grabs her and takes her to the corner and chokes her out with her leg. She then starts swinging her around by her hair, followed by a dropkick. Maryse rolls to the outside, but Nikki Bella takes her head and bounces it off the announce table. Cover attempt, but a two count. Maryse takes over offense after grabbing Brie’s hair and slamming her down. Pin, but two count. As the ref gets distracted, Nikki rolls in to the ring and switches out with Brie. It didn’t help though as Maryse hits the French Kiss and gets the three count. (The replay shows Maryse seeing the switch, so she wasn’t fooled).
winner: Maryse
After The Match: The Miz comes out as Maryse is walking back up the ramp. He tells Maryse that if she wins the tournament, he might actually call her back. He says he has to go now and scout his next opponent, but first, he’s been hearing her say that 2010 is the year of Maryse. He wants to make clear that this year, this decade, every year going forward it belongs to him because he’s the Miz and he’s awesome. The Miz joins the announce booth as MVP will be facing Jack Swagger, Mark Henry & Carlito in a Fatal Fourway match up next.
MVP vs. Jack Swagger vs. Mark Henry vs. Carlito
We’re back from break and the match is underway. Mark Henry is on the outside. Swagger and Carlito are going at it. Swagger hits a slam, tries for a cover, but MVP breaks it up. Swagger then turns his attention to MVP and goes for a cover. Carlito breaks it up. Swagger swings Carlito to the corner and swings MVP into him. He charges them both, but MVP moves and he hits Carlito instead. Henry then comes in and slams Swagger. He throws MVP over the top rope to the outside. He then goes after Swagger and Carlito taking them both out. He picks up Carlito and uses him to kick Swagger and then follows it up with a bearhug on Carlito until Swagger breaks it up. Not for long though as Henry takes Swagger up to his shoulders. Carlito then comes and breaks it up and MVP follows with kicking Henry out of the ring. He hits his finisher on Swagger and gets the pin.
winner: MVP
Backstage: Jericho and Big Show are talking. Big Show tells him how important it is that they win tonight so Jericho won’t have to leave Raw. Jericho says he has a plan that Bret Hart can’t pass up and he heads to talk to him.
We’re back as Jericho meets up with Bret backstage. Jericho talks about their history and says that he saw his lovefest that he had earlier with HBK. He says that he knows deep down Bret despises Shawn and he has an idea. He wants Bret to be the special guest referee in their match with DX. In fact, he can screw Shawn just like Shawn did him. Bret says that everything he said out there was real and he doesn’t want to be like Chris a hypocrite. He tells Jericho that if he wants to stay on Raw, he has to win the match all by himself.
Elsewhere, Hornswoggle & Triple H as they promote WWE action figures. Shawn then stops by and asks Hunter why he talks to Hornswoggle like a child…he’s got a beard says Shawn. Hunter says that while Shawn was out there with Bret, he was back here focusing on their match. Santino comes in dressed like Jericho and starts mocking him about conspiracies. He then tells Hornswoggle to attack and he jumps on Santino. Hunter tells Shawn that tonight isn’t about Bret or Undertaker it’s about JeriShow and the tag team titles. He then calls for Hornswoggle like a dog and gives him a cookie when he comes. They walk off and we see a beaten Santino with his wig falling off.
Tag Team Championship:
DX vs JeriShow
Hornswoggle climbs from under the ring & did a couple posses then went back under after the bell rung. Shawn and Big Show start the match off with Big Show taking the early advantage. Shawn makes a quick tag though and they try a double suplex, but Show reverses. They go out of the ring and we go to commercial break.
We are back and JeriShow has the advantage. Big Show comes in and Hunter tries to take control with a knee drop, but Big Show hits a sidewalk slam. Big Show then steps on Hunter’s chest, hits a leg drop and goes for a cover but only gets a two count. He keeps pounding Hunter with headbutts before tagging in Jericho. Jericho comes in and steps on the back of Hunter’s neck while he’s on the second ropes. He taunts the crowd (and TNA) by doing the Hogan ear motion toward the crowd. He applies an armbar headlock and Hunter slowly rises back to his feet. Jericho charges, but Hunter nails the spinebuster.
They both go for the tag, but Hunter can’t make his before Big Show comes and stomps on him. He hits a bodyslam and goes to the second rope. He tries a splash, but Hunter moves. Hunter makes the hot tag and he comes in firing on Show with chops. He then hits some running shoulder blocks, but Big Show won’t go down. He does a dropkick to the legs and he finally does. Shawn hits Jericho off the apron and then goes to the top turnbuckle. Before he can leap, Jericho comes up and hits him to where he straddles the top rope. Hornswoggle runs in and frogsplashes Big Show. Shawn goes for a cover, but only gets two.
He fires up the band in the corner, but Show catches his leg and delives a huge chokeslam. Pin, but only a two count. Jericho gets tagged in and tries his moonsault, but HBK puts his knees up. He tags in Hunter and Hunter hits the Pedigree. Cover, but Big Show breaks it up. He picks Shawn up for a chokeslam, but Hunter breaks it up. They double Pedigree Show and he rolls out. Jericho tries a quick roll up on Hunter, but a two count. Hunter barely comes to his senses before Jericho lands a Codebreaker. They are both down and the ref starts counting to ten. Jericho covers, but Shawn breaks it up. Hornswoggle comes back in and starts tuning up the band as well. He tries to kick Jericho, but he kicks him in the hand. Hunter tries the Pedigree, but Jericho reverses and attempts the Walls of Jericho. Superkick by Shawn Michaels and the cover and three count by Hunter.
winners & still Unified Tag Team Champions: D-Generation X
After The Match: Hunter gets on the mic and tells Chris it’s over for him on Raw. Shawn then says that if he’s not down with that, they have two words for him (Suck it !!).
Backstage: Randy Orton. Orton says he has an offer for McMahon. He doesn’t know how McMahon plans on confronting Bret, but…Vince cuts him off and says that Bret spitting in his face is nothing compared to what Randy Orton has done to him and his family. Orton says even still, what he does to Kofi tonight is nothing compared to what he will do to Bret. McMahon asks what’s in it for him. He wants the #30 spot in the Royal Rumble. McMahon says that he has his own security and don’t ever confront him again. Orton starts walking off and he’s met by Legacy. They tell him “thank you” for last week and they want to return the favor. If he doesn’t beat Kofi Kingston tonight, they will kick him out of Legacy and beat the hell out of him.
Sheamus comes out and says that last week, John Cena couldn’t beat him. He can make all the excuses he wants, but Sheamus did exactly what he said he would. The last image was him standing over Cena’s body, still WWE Champion. He says his next title match is at the Royal Rumble and he will not be defending it against John Cena. He wants a new challenge. He says that Bret was right when he said he’s the best there ever was. The best there ever is and the best there ever will be belongs to him. Evan Bourne then interupts and comes out. He takes the mic from Sheamus and rolls out of the ring. He says that the only reason Sheamus has that title is that someone gave him the opportunity. He says that he knows he can beat Sheamus if he’s giving the opportunity right now. Sheamus mocks him and tells a ref to get in here so they can have the match right now. He then says that if Bourne can beat him now, he’ll put his title up against him at the Rumble.
Sheamus vs Evan Bourne
Bourne comes out firing with kicks immediately and even hits the Air Bourne within a minute of the match, but Sheamus kicks out. Bourne goes back up top, but Sheamus catches him and slams him. Sheamus hits the big boot and the Razor’s Edge finisher for the three count pinfall victory.
winner: Sheamus
Condolences to Dr. Death Steve Williams and go to commercial break:
We see another Bret Hart video recap upon returning from the break that focuses more on the Montreal Screwjob.
Randy Orton vs Kofi Kingston
We see Legacy sitting outside the ring watching the match. The bell sounds and Kofi takes early offense with a springboard off the second rope. Orton applies a headlock and when Kofi pushes him off, he hits a shoulder block. Kofi then ducks a clothesline, leaps over Orton and hits a dropkick. Orton rolls to the outside and Kofi comes through the bottom rope with another dropkick as Legacy looks on. Kofi rolls Orton back in and as he gets in, Orton grabs him for the delayed DDT but Kofi counters and backdrops him over the rope as we cut to break.
We’re back and Orton has a headlock applied. He continues his offense for a while and takes Kingston to the corner. He slingshots Kofi’s neck into the bottom rope. Cover but a two count. Another headlock applied. The two charge each other and both hit crossbodies. Both men rise to their feet, Kofi blocks a punch, another hits some chops and then a dropkick. He punches Orton in the corner and then a major uppercut. Side Russian legsweep followed by a Boom Drop. He’s setting up for the Trouble In Paradise, but Orton rolls out of the ring. Kofi follows and leaps over the ropes on to Orton. Kofi rolls Orton back in quickly and goes the top rope. Cross body and a pin, but only a two count.
Ortont tries an RKO, but Kofi counters into the SOS. Pin, but only two count. He drags Orton up, another RKO attempt, but Kofi counters. Orton blocks the Trouble In Paradise, hits the RKO and gets the three count.
winner: Randy Orton
We see Vince McMahon walking to the ring as he faces off with Bret Hart next:
In ring promo: Vince McMahon makes his way out to the ring. Vince says “Happy New Year” first to everyone. The second thing he wants to say is that there’s really no reason for him to call Bret Hart out there tonight. Shawn and Bret buried the Montreal incident and he feels the same way..it’s over. He said he would like to thank Bret for being the guest host and promotes Mike Tyson as next week’s guest host. He ramples on about Mike, but Bret makes his way out to the ring with no music. Bret makes his way out to the ring and a loud “Bret” chant breaks out. As Bret gets in the ring he takes off his jacket and goes face to face with Vince.
Vince says that he knows what Bret is thinking and what the fans would like to see, which is Bret applying the Sharp Shooter on Vince. He’s asking Bret to be the better man tonight. Vince would like to get a few things off his chest tonight. First he really does believe Bret screwed Bret. Plus, he’ll never forget Bret spitting in his face. He’ll also never forget Bret sucker punching him. He’ll also never forget Bret disrespecting him the night of the Hall of Fame. Bret has slandered and insulted him for so many years. Vince says he’s just being honest and he wants to hear what Bret has to say. He’s hoping Bret wants to say “I’m sorry”. Again, Vince says he’s not trying to provoke Bret.
Bret says he can think of a lot of things to say to him, but the two words Vince is thinking are a lot different than the two things he’s thinking. He says that he did come tonight to bury the hatchet and he thinks he’s halfway there. Bret says that he knows Vince wants closure as bad as he does. Vince says he thought he wanted to come out and kick Bret in the guts, but he knows now that would be stupid. Vince says he remembers when he thought Bret was the future of the business, going from a tag team specialist to a WWE Champion. He says no one handed it to Bret..he scratched his way to the top. Vince says the reason the Montreal incident was so personal between the two of them was because Bret thought of Vince as a father. He then brings up Bret’s father, Stu Hart, and says that he would personally like to nominate Stu for this year’s Hall of Fame.
Bret said he appreciates it. Vince then says that he would like to thank Bret for everything as well as would the fans. Vince continues thanking Bret for being the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Vince puts his hand out to shake it and Bret gives in. Vince then raises Bret’s arm for all the fans. As they are posing for the fans then Vince kicks Bret in the gut!
Bret fell to a knee and then to his back as Vince exits the ring. Bret finally gets up as we go off the air.
