We now take you to these pre-recorded comments:

Bret Hart:  "Vince McMahon, I know that your corporate leer jet has landed here in Calgary.  And I know that you are on your way to the arena.  And I know that YOU are the one that has *MY* Universal Title after last week's theft from me when the lights went out and Chris Jericho was laid out in the middle of the ring.  So vince, when we face off here tonight, I am taking my belt back and sending you back to Stamford, COD."

Chris Jericho:  "Last week, the lights went out and someone laid me out.  I vow to exact revenge on that person when I get my hands on them.  And this week as for you Apolo Dantes, I am going to push you to a limit that no one else here has done before."

The Quebecers (waving tiny little Quebec flags):  "We're der Quebecers.  I'm Jacques and he's Pierre and we're YOUR tag team champions.  That Canadian traitor Chris Benoit thinks that he and Slaughter can get their rematch against us for OUR titles?  Well, it won't be until next week, because this week, we are granting a match to Tim Horner and Lance Storm.  These two have no chance against us."

Bret Hart calls out Vince McMahon

Bret Hart makes his way to the ring, grabs the ring announcer's microphone, and begins:  "Vince McMahon, come on down, and bring my Universal Title with you."

Vince does his Buddy Rogers like power walk to the ring.

Bret:  "I called you out here because I know it was YOU that stole my Universal Title last week.  Now hand it over."

Vince:  "I have NO idea what you are talking about."

Bret:  "It was YOU that made the "call" to John Kronus.  It was you last week, that stole my title belt, and it was YOU behind everything that has happened to me, since I ran you out of..."

The lights in the arena go off, and the side doors open to reveal a shadow illuminated by cars lights from outside.  And the shadow is holding up the Universal Title over his head.

Shadow (in altered voice to hide his identity):  "Bret Hart, *I* have your title.  It wasn't Vince.  It was me."  {doors close and lights come back on}

Bret stands facing the side doors in total disbelief, while Vince McMahon stands there laughing at Bret, while saying "I told you so".  This infuriates Bret and he kicks Vince in the stomach which doubles him up.  Bret with an elbow to the back of the head.  A bodyslam to Vince.  Bret up to the second turnbuckle and an elbowdrop to Vince.  Bret with the side Russian legsweep and now the Sharpshooter!  The crowd is going banana in Calgary!

Card rating: ** 1/2

Thought some of you all might recognize that line as a great all time throw back to an announcing legend of the past, that was also WWE's first ever IC Champ.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... sorry about your coffee coated screen.

Rick!  Where is EP 14?  It's been almost a week, and I can't take much more of being punished without a new card!  I have already gone back and read the old shows to get my WATA fix, but it just aint as good as the new stuff is gonna be...Please Rick, help an addict out and post EP 14 ASAP, I'd really appreciate it.

(But seriously, I really love the circuit and am anxiously, and kinda patiently, awaiting the release of EP 14...whenever you have time, that is.)

Nice to see rabid fandom.  It's this mystery man and his contract negotiations that are holding things up.  (or so it has been rumored)

(But seriously, I really love the circuit and am anxiously, and kinda patiently, awaiting the release of EP 14...whenever you have time, that is.)
I've been kinda busy.  Should have at least one ep sometime today before midnight EST.  And it will probably be the last one for at least another week.
