Bret tells McMahon that ever since SummerSlam his career and personal life has been going downward. He lost the WWF World Championship to the pompous Lex Luger, and the greedy Ted DiBiase looked to get notice by buying the house he and grew up in. Bret says DiBiase has accomplished getting attention and has accomplished the goal of getting his butt kicked for putting his family through hell. The crowd is heavily behind Bret has he says that the Hart Family stays united no matter what. Bret tells McMahon it’s an obvious choice to pick his brother Owen Hart and his brother in law Jim Neidhart. That leaves one spot that he needs to be filled. Bret talks about the recently debuted Chris Benoit and how he has been trained by the Harts. Bret reveals that Chris Benoit has agreed to join the fight and believes that he can trust Benoit.

4. Crush Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with the turncoat, Crush. Ross reminds the fans that Crush believes that the people turned their backs on him when Simmons came into town, but Ross personally doesn’t think that is the case. Crush gets offended by Ross’s statements. Crush remembers how he tried to fight off two guys, Yokozuna and Borga, two huge competitors. It would be difficult for even the best man to beat either man… but then Ron Simmons comes into town on July 4th and slams Yokozuna. Crush knew right then and there that he was chop liver and the fans had a new person to attach to. “I had been battling against those guys for months. Simmons comes in and after one day he is treated as a national hero for slamming Yokozuna on a fluke.” One day, Cornette sat me down and I realized that I needed to be with people who had my back and supported me no matter what. Jim Cornette knows I have the talent and that I am a superior wrestler compared to Simmons. Now, you will all soon realize this when I become everyone’s worst nightmare and end your heroes career.

2. Ted DiBiase Reveals His Team: Vince McMahon introduces the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase so he can reveal his team.

It’s not DiBiase’s fault that his parents couldn’t take care of their finances. What is his fault is having way too much money and being able to buy whatever he pleases to buy. DiBiase’s knows that being able to do that makes Bret angry, and even jealous but DiBiase wouldn’t change anything. DiBiase believes that at Survivor Series any kind of fight the Hart’s have in them to regain their house will be depleted. DiBiase reveals that his Money Inc. partner IRS has been recruited. Before announcing the other two members of his team, DiBiase noted that he had to shed some big bucks to get these two men on his team, but in the end every single dollar will be well worth it. “Ladies and gentleman, my final two associates will none other than… Shawn Michaels and Diesel!” DiBiase finishes off saying “McMahon, I always get my way!”
