He introduces the WWF World Tag Team Champions Diesel and Shawn Michaels. Michaels and Diesel come out with cowboy hats as to taunt their challengers the Smoking Gunns at Summer Slam. Michaels wonders if wearing cowboy hats make you a tough man. After a moment, he breaks into a laugh and puts the hat down before stomping on it. He instead says that having the WWF World Tag Team Championships is what makes you a tough man. Michaels and Diesel know that at Summer Slam their reign as champions will not be stopped. They are the greatest tag team in WWF history and two cowboys aren’t going to stop them.

Hart tells McMahon that he is not afraid of a submission match with Lex Luger. Hart puts over the Sharpshooter as being the most devastating hold that wrestling has ever seen and when he locks it on Luger he will be tapping for mercy in the middle of the ring and Bret isn’t so sure he will let go when he needs to. Vince asks why Bret says that. Bret again goes over what happened to him after losing the WWF World Championship last year at the same event to Luger and says all the frustrations he had to deal with were because of that lost and he’ll be sure that Luger feels every once of pain and frustration the Hitman has felt for the past year.

Ted DiBiase makes his way down and is overly happy about the evening. DiBiase tells McMahon that nothing and nobody will ruin this night as he has made sure that the British Bulldog has been barred from the building for this special night. McMahon decides to get the event. Diane Smith makes her way down in a beautiful white dress that is sparking with green dollar signs over it. She enters the ring and DiBiase is showing of that trademark laugh. The priest begins the ceremony and everything is going fine. When it comes to saying “I DO”, DiBiase goes to say he does, but instead says “NO.” Diane is confused. DiBiase begins to berate her saying that he would never allow a woman to have half of his fortune. His fortune is for him and only him. DiBiase tells everyone that he ruined Bret Hart’s life and now he has ruined the marriage between Diane and Davey Boy Smith! Diane drops to her knees and is crying asking why Ted would do this to her.

  1. This was awesome! I love the idea of DiBiase using Diana to screw over her husband, and then screwing HER over and leaving her at the altar– such a great scumbag heel move! Nicely done!
