Interview:
Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels exchange words again
("Sexy Boy" by Jim Johnston played as Shawn Michaels came to the ring to boos
from the crowd.)
Shawn Michaels: Folks, take a good long look at your friends and look deep
inside and realize that they're out for themselves and nothing else. Scott
Hall and Kevin Nash seem to think they're big and bad and can do whatever they
want, whenever they want as they walk right out the door of the PWF, not to be
heard from again. A man, Triple H, has also tossed me aside and decided he's
going to go out and do things on his own without the man who helped him reach
unreachable heights. All three of you can go straight to hell and have a good
time. Anyway, the real reason I'm out here is to discuss a one, Bret Hart.
Bret, you did it again. You found a way to lose yourself the match and in doing
so, you also put me in a position where I lost the exact same match. Bret, you
talk about having unfinished business here in the PWF. Well, I have unfinished
business as well and it's you. Bret, I'm not going to listen to you run your
mouth about a past that is long past now. I'm not waiting for you to make the
challenge, because I'm making it right now. Hart! I want your ass in the ring
at Slamboree and I'll have it no other way.
("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)
Bret Hart: Michaels, all you needed to do was ask. Shawn, nothing would give me more pleasure than kicking your teeth down your throat again, but this time
Shawn, I'm not going to worry about leaving your brains on the mat and I'm not
worrying about a referee. Shawn, this time I'm not leaving until I am announced
the winner of the match by the referee, the ring announcer, the commentators
and most of all, you. Shawn, this isn't about a wrestling feud anymore. This is
about good versus evil and the right man winning the match. Shawn, this is
about me regaining my pride back which you and McMahon stole from me. Shawn,
I know you know nothing about pride, but to me, it's all I've got left.
Michaels, I'll see you at Slamboree.
(Hart dropped the microphone and left the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Interview:
The Undertaker challenges Bill Goldberg
("Ministry" by Jim Johnston played as The Ministry of Darkness: The Undertaker,
Kane, Sid Vicious and The Big Show came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)
The Undertaker: Some of you may say that the way Bill Goldberg went down at
WrestleWar was unfair or cruel. That may be true in the eyes of men who don't
know what it is to live with pain. Those who do know what it means to live with
difficulty understand that what happened to Goldberg was the law of nature.
The superior beings took down the unbeatable force and laid him to rest in the
middle of the ring. The difference here is that Goldberg brought the pain upon
himself by refusing my offer. All Goldberg needs to do is succumb to the higher
power and do the right thing, that being, joining my Ministry.
(The fans booed.)
The Undertaker: I'm a fair man and understand Bill Goldberg's grip. Goldberg, I
offer the following challenge to you. If you wish to step foot in the ring with
me again, I'll gladly do you the displeasure of being laid to rest for good.
However, when you get put in the ground, you will then accept my offer and join
my Ministry. Bill, I did leave on vital part of the equation out, that being
that our proposed match at PWF Slamboree will be that of a Lumberjack Match.
The way I see it, what better way to get initiated into a ministry then by
being tossed into the pit of despair by members of that ministry.
("Invasion" by Jim Johnston played as Bill Goldberg came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)
Bill Goldberg: Undertaker, you truly are one sick son-of-a-bitch. What you
could possibly want with me in your Ministry, I really don't even want to know.
However, I do know that I want your ass out of my way, so I accept your
challenge and can't wait to bury the deadman in front of his minions. What a
treat it will be to watch a dictator fall in front of his army to a man with a
jackhammer. 'Taker, you're next!
(Goldberg tossed the microphone down and stared down The Undertaker as The
Ministry stood behind their leader.)

PWF Tuesday Night Wrestling #18
May 8, 2007
-To start the event, Mike Tenay & Bobby Hennan announced that stemming from
the incident last week between former Kliq members Shawn Michaels, Triple H,
Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, Hall and Nash had submitted their resignation
letters to PWF Owner Eric Bischoff.
-During the Triple H vs. Scott Steiner match, Triple H shoved Steiner into
refree Jim Mollineux, knocking Mollineux down. Triple H got a sledgehammer from
under the ring and drilled Steiner in the stomach with it. Triple H hit the
Pedigree on Steiner as Mollineux rolled over and made the three count, giving
Triple H the victory.
