(Bret Hart makes his way down to the ring to a standing ovation from the fans.)

Bret Hart:
You know, with No Way Out just around the corner, I figured it was time to
come and speak to you guys.  You know, there's not really very much else for
me to say, other than thank you.

Thank you for giving me your support, especially when I needed it the most,
thank you for still believing in me, and thank you for giving me a second
chance, despite some of the things that I said about your country.  At No 
Way Out, I'm just a few steps away from not only the WWE Title, but also the
chance to headline Wrestlemania once again, something I never dreamed would 
be possible, but now it is.

But before No Way Out, there's some other business that I wanna take care, so
I wanna call out, right here and right now, the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.

(DiBiase's music kicks in, and DiBiase walks out onto the stage.)

Bret Hart:
DiBiase, if you can get down from high of making Hogan pass out last Monday,
there's something I wanna say to you.  In all our World Wrestling Federation
years, I don't believe that you and I ever competed in a proper one on one
match.  But tonight DiBiase, I wanna change all that.  I wanna give the fans
something that they deserve, and that is Hart versus DiBiase, one on one, for
perhaps the first and last time.

Ted DiBiase:
You know something Bret Hart, I've got no problem with kicking your ass here
tonight.  Hell, I'll even give the Big Show the night off to ensure that it's
a...hahaha...fair contest.  But Hitman, you've gotta realise that I'm on the
biggest roll of my life right now, and you my friend, are gonna be an easy
win for me.

Bret Hart:
I'm glad you think that way DiBiase, because then it might surprise and maybe
motivate you when you experience the fight of your life.  Because DiBiase, 
right here tonight, and again on Sunday, I will prove that I am still the best
there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and you will
be excellently executed!
