Interview:
Ken Kennedy interview
("In The Black" by Motorhead played as PWF Intercontinental Champion Ken
Kennedy came to the ring to cheers from the crowd.)
Ken Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, you are being introduced to the PWF
Intercontinental Champion. I weigh in at two-hundred and forty-nine pounds. I
hail from Green Bay, Wisconsin. MISTERRRRRRR KENNEDY...KENNEDY!
(The fans cheered.)
Ken Kennedy: Overthrowing a dictator isn't easy. However, I proved to the world
at PWF GrandSlam that it can be done. Finlay, you were nothing and you are
nothing without me. Finlay, I brought stability to your Celtic Gang and made it
work. Now, your Celtic Gang is championshipless, weak and on the verge of
collapse. You don't screw around with a man who has the balls to overthrow a
stern ruler. You see, I'm Mr. Kennedy and not only do I love to fight, I demand
to win.
("Running With The Devil" by Van Halen played as the new PWF World Heavyweight
Champion Davey Richards came to the ring to huge cheers from the crowd.)
Davey Richards: Kennedy, I'm not out here to go on a long spiel, I'm simply
going to congratulate on finally breaking free from Dave Finlay and becoming
your own person. Fact is, I am the new PWF World Heavyweight Champion and when you want a title shot, you come and find me and I'll give it to you.
(Kennedy nodded graciously to Richards as the fans cheered. Richards left the
ring to cheers from the crowd.)
Ken Kennedy: For once, a PWF World Heavyweight Champion who doesn't dodge the
competition and hide behind other people. Finlay, you know I'm talking about
you because the only reason you held the PWF World Heavyweight Championship as
long as you did is because you had me buried behind him.
("Shoot 'Em Down" by Motorhead played as The Celtic Gang (Dave Finlay, Steve
Regal, David Taylor, Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams) came to the ring to
huge boos from the crowd.)
Dave Finlay: Kennedy, you must think you're a very smart man, don't you? Well,
from the looks of things, you're stupider than I thought. These four men
standing here next to me aren't just going to beat the shit out of you, we're
going to make sure you never step foot in a wrestling ring ever again.
(McGuinnes and Williams stepped out from behind Finlay and stood behind
Kennedy.)
Dave Finlay: Where the fuck do you think you two are going?!
Ken Kennedy: Dave, it's over. You're finished. We're tired of following a man
who can't live up to this promises or seal the deal. Dave, why don't you do
yourself a favor and talk a walk.
(Finlay got in Kennedy's face.)
Dave Finlay: Kennedy, you listen and you listen good. Not only will I end your
career, I'm burying you in the ground. Nobody stabs me in the back and gets
away with it. You've stolen my championship. You've stolen my reign. You've
stolen my career. Kennedy, your fucking dead.
Ken Kennedy: You just tell me when and where, and I'll be there. Make sure
you've got my plot dug beforehand, or it might just be that I toss you in the
hole I've dug for you.
(Finlay and Kennedy began trading blows as McGuinness & Williams fought with
Regal & Finlay. Kennedy, McGuinness and Williams staggered Finlay, Regal and
Taylor. Finlay led Regal and Taylor out of the ring and told them to walk
away. Finlay pointed at Kennedy and led Regal and Taylor backstage.)

Interview:
Chris Benoit interview
("Whatever" by Our Lady Peace played as Chris Benoit came to the ring to boos
from the crowd.)
Chris Benoit: So Bret Hart wants to take this fight to a different level. Well,
Bret, all you had to do was ask. Notwithstanding the gripe between The Celtic
Gang, I am still here Bret and as a matter of fact, The Celtic Gang is finished
as far as I'm concerned. I joined the group and started this situation Bret.
Thing is, I'm out of The Celtic Gang and I'm not finished with you yet. If you
think I'm going to allow myself to be insulted by you and beaten down while
unconscious. Bret, if you think you've won, you're once again full of shit!
Come on, Hitman, bring your ass out here so I can show you what a crippler is
all about!
("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart hit the ring and tackled
Benoit. Hart and Benoit traded blows as the fans went wild. Benoit headbutted
Hart and tossed him threw the ropes into the guard rail. Benoit got a steel
chair from ringside and began smashing Hart with it. Benoit whipped the chair
at Hart and left the ringside area as the fans booed him out of the building.)

Interview:
New Four Horsemen interview
("The Four Horsemen" by Metallica played as The New Four Horsemen (CM Punk,
James Gibson and The Briscoe Brothers: Jay & Mark Briscoe) came to the ring to
huge boos from the crowd.)
CM Punk: Woo! How good it must feel to be "The Nature Boy!" Woo!
(The fan booed Punk.)
CM Punk: Yes, how good it must feel to be beaten within an inch of your life
and left for dead, not knowing if you'll recover. How does it feel, Ric? How
does it feel to realize you're finished and you've lost. How does it feel,
Naitch? That's right, silence. It's hard to talk when you have no voicebox left
from screaming as doctors try and put your body back together. Ric, you're
done. It's over. I am THE MAN and there isn't a damn thing anybody can do
about it.
("The Four Horsemen" by WCW played as The Four Horsemen (BJ Whitmer, Austin
Aries and Roderick Strong) came to the ring to cheers from the crowd.)
BJ Whitmer: Punk, you're name is quite apropos. That's all you are and that's
all you're going to be. I used to respect you, but now I wouldn't piss on you
if you were on fire. Punk, you can blow smoke up everyone's ass all you like,
but as long as I'm breathing, I'm not going to allow a scumbag like you soil the name and legend of Ric Flair and the real Four Horsemen.
CM Punk: Well, isn't that terrific. I don't recall telling you your opinion and
thus, I don't give a shit what you think. Whitmer, Aries and Strong, take a
step back and go away. You're in way over your head.
(Whitmer shoved Punk. Punk dropped the microphone and squared off with Whitmer.
Whitmer, Aries and Strong went at it with Punk, Gibson and The Briscoe
Brothers. Aries and Strong hit a pair of stereo dropkicks on The Briscoe
Brothers, sending them over the top rope. Whitmer quickly spine bustered Gibson
and then executed the Exploder '98 on Punk. Whitmer clotheslined Punk over the
top rope and celebrated with his fellow Horsemen as The New Four Horsemen left
the ringside area.)

Ric Flair: CM Punk, you look into my eyes and listen to what I'm saying loud

Nobody knows the tricks of the trade better than I do. I'm not a seventeen-time
World Heavyweight Champion for nothing. Every guy who has ever tried to come
after me and tear me down, I built a bigger and better building right next to
him and ran him out of business. Nobody fucks with Ric Flair unless he tells

Chris Hero: Triple H likes to speak as if though he is this superior being.
Triple H thinks he is some kind of master of the wrestling profession. Well,
Triple H, this isn't your company and this isn't your place. Triple H, to reach
the top of the PWF, it's not about who you know or where you come from. It's
about superiority and you don't have it. Triple H, you're looking at one of the
men who embody the PWF and have made it what it is today. Standing alongside me
is one of the other men who helped pave the way for the PWF you're looking at
today in Claudio Castagnoli. Claudio is a man who doesn't like to have to be
proclaimed good or bad or take sides in such bickering, but he is and always
will be a king, a king of wrestling. Triple H, I have had my handed raised
after stepping foot in the ring with you and I will when we step face-to-face
again. Triple H, you and Shawn Michaels aren't what the PWF is about and when
we're through with you two, you won't ever set foot in the PWF again.

("Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler played as the Kings of Wrestling
(Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) came to the ring with manager Larry Sweeney.)
Chris Hero: Triple H likes to speak as if though he is this superior being.
Triple H thinks he is some kind of master of the wrestling profession. Well,
Triple H, this isn't your company and this isn't your place. Triple H, to reach
the top of the PWF, it's not about who you know or where you come from. It's
about superiority and you don't have it. Triple H, you're looking at one of the
men who embody the PWF and have made it what it is today. Standing alongside me
is one of the other men who helped pave the way for the PWF you're looking at
today in Claudio Castagnoli. Claudio is a man who doesn't like to have to be
proclaimed good or bad or take sides in such bickering, but he is and always
will be a king, a king of wrestling. Triple H, I have had my handed raised
after stepping foot in the ring with you and I will when we step face-to-face
again. Triple H, you and Shawn Michaels aren't what the PWF is about and when
we're through with you two, you won't ever set foot in the PWF again.
(Hero, Castagnoli and Sweeney left the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Champion Dave Finlay, PWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Kennedy, Chris Benoit,
Steve Regal, David Taylor, Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams) came to the ring
to huge boos from the crowd. Kennedy got a microphone from ringisde prior to
Finlay doing so.)
Ken Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, you are being introduced to the PWF
Intercontinental Champion. I weigh in at two-hundred and forty-seven pounds. I
hail from Green Bay, Wisconsin. MISTERRRRRRR CHAMPIONS CUP......CUP!
(Finlay grabbed the microphone away from Kennedy and got in his face.)
Dave Finlay: Kennedy, are you trying to show me up?
Ken Kennedy: Dave, I'm simply speaking for myself and letting the world know
just who I am.
Dave Finlay: We all saw the Champions Cup and know the outcome. I am proud of
you for representing my Celtic Gang and winning the PWF Champions Cup. However,
Kennedy, understand this is my Celtic Gang, not yours. Adhere to the laws I
have set in place for this organization, or we're going to have a problem.
Ken Kennedy: Duly noted. However, I feel forced to ask this question and if it has to be in front of everybody, so be it. Finlay, I am in-line for a shot at
the PWF World Heavyweight Championship. When is that coming to go to fruition?
Dave Finlay: You're in-line for a title shot? Says who? I am the PWF World
Heavyweight Champion. I decide if I am to defend this title, not you. Davey
Richards is next on my list, not you. I owe that young man a beating based on
your Champions Cup tournament. Kennedy, you need to understand this isn't a
mechanism for your personal profit. This mechanism was created by ME to service
ME. Everybody in this ring should understand that, or they shouldn't be
standing in the damn ring.
(Kennedy bite his tounge and stood next to McGuinness and Williams.)
Dave Finlay: Now, before I was interrupted.
(Finlay glared at Kennedy as Kennedy gave it right back to him.)
Dave Finlay: As I mentioned, Davey Richards is next on my list. That man feels
he can do as he wishes, but the fact is, he can't. I won't allow it. He pinned
my shoulders to the mat and in doing so, insulted me. Richards, I will wrestle
you and am willing to place MY World Heavyweight Heavyweight Championship up
for grabs in the match, just to get my hands around your neck. Richards, you're staring at your future and your future is grim.
(Finlay dropped the microphone and led the way as The Celtic Gang left the
ring to boos from the crowd, with Kennedy exiting last.)

Interview:
Triple H & Shawn Michaels interview
("The Game" by Motorhead played as Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to the ring
to boos from the crowd.)
Triple H: I'm not used to defeat. It doesn't set well with me. Never has, never
will. In coming back to the PWF and falling victim to Chris Hero, most of you
would expect I'd take off and that'd be the end of Triple H, but I'm still
here. Hero, you are without a doubt more trouble than I've had to deal with in
a long time, but it's still early. Chris, standing here in this ring is the
most deadly combination in the history of this business. Where we go, pain
follows. I know Shawn will agree me that your pain has yet to be felt. I will
have the final word on this situation and it only ends when you see my bloody
hand raised.

New Four Horsemen interview
("The Four Horsemen" by Metallica played as The New Four Horsemen (CM Punk,
James Gibson and The Briscoe Brothers: Jay & Mark Briscoe) came to the ring to
boos from the crowd.)
CM Punk: One set of Horsemen down, one to go. The so called Extreme Horsemen
have been slayed and brought to the glue factory. Steve Corino stuck his nose
in my business and got his ass kicked. Corino went down in a very similar
manner to the way Ric Flair is going to be put to rest. Only difference is when
I'm down with Flair, he won't be able to bleach his hair enough or tan his skin
enough to get the blood off of it. "Slick" Ric, the only reason you got the
chance to call yourself "The Man," is because you did it before I was born.
Flair, you yourself claim to know how to be "The Man." That was before you ran
into me. You see, to be "The Man," it doesn't only involve beating "The Man,"
it involves destroying "The Man," so he can't ever come back and try to reclaim
his spot. Ric, you've made a fatal error in judgment. You should have retired a
long time ago and saved yourself a lot of energy you don't have anymore. Ric,
this will never be over until I end your fucking career! Woo!

("The Four Horsemen" by Metallica played as The New Four Horsemen (CM Punk,
James Gibon and The Briscoe Brothers: Jay & Mark Briscoe came to the ring to

CM Punk: The battle of the Horsemen doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon
because Ric Flair and Steve Corino seem to feel they have the right to keep
coming at me. Flair, I've beaten you time and time again. Corino, I have
absolutely no use for you in the wrestling ring and am sick and tired of
watching you run around MY company and pass yourself off as this lone hero come
to show the world your vision of what The Four Horsemen are about. Corino,
you're nothing. You will never be able to stand in a ring with me and garner my
respect. "King of Old School," why don't you go back to wherever you came from
so I don't have to exert any more enegry in kicking your ass! "Slick" Ric, I'm
not finished with you just yet "Naitch." I will tell you and your sorr group of
wannabe Horsemen when this is over and when it is, you won't ever step foot in
a PWF ring ever again.

("Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler played as the Kings of Wrestling

to cheers from the crowd.)
Larry Sweeney: Hey PWFers, I've got a question for you....Is Larry Sweeney
lookin' good tonight, or what?!!
(The fans cheered Sweeney.)
Larry Sweeney: Chris, Claudio, we probably shouldn't be out here right now. As
everyone on the planet needs to understand there is a certain quota of time
that needs to be taken up by Triple and Shawn Michaels. Regardless of where
they go or where they've been, they DESERVE a certain amount of time in this
ring every night. Yeah, right! Triple H, Michaels, you two stroll back into the
PWF and expect to be handed the keys to the joint. You two are nothing but
blood sucking parasites. You two can't carry my jock and don't belong anywhere
near the Kings!
("The Game" by Motorhead played as Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to the ring
to boos from the crowd.)
Triple H: "Sweet 'N Sour?" Is that what you call yourself? I'd recommend you
stand aside before I introduce you to a friend of mine. His name is cold and hard.
(Triple H pointed to his sledgehammer at ringside. Hero stepped right in
Triple H's face.)
Triple H: Do you have something to say to me? If so, spit it out before you're
not spitting anything out besides blood from your lower intenstine.
Chris Hero: Good old Triple H. You're not standing in your father-in law's
ring. This isn't your wife's company. This isn't your place, pal. PWF is here
today thanks to Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. We built this company and
are the winnigest combination in the history of the PWF. You think because you
scored a bullshit victory over us you can walk out here like you own the place,
you've got another thing coming.
Triple H: Hero, nobody steps in my face and insults me. Nobody tells me how
it's going to go. Hero, you want a war I'll give you a war and at last check,
I don't lose when the chips are down. Hero, how about I make an example of you
and show you I think of you.
(Triple H dropped the microphone and began trading blows with Hero as
Castagnoli and Michaels did the same. Hero executed a cravate on Triple H and executed the Hero DDT on him as Castagnoli drilled Michaels with a pair of
Swiss Uppercuts and executed the UBS Neckbreaker on Michaels to cheers from

Steve Austin & Kurt Angle interview
("Glass Shatters" by Jim Johnston played as Steve Austin and Kurt Angle came to
the ring to cheers from the crowd.)
Steve Austin: Well, it's about damn time the Texas rattlesnake got his ass back
to the PWF and decided to raise some hell!
(The fans cheered.)
Steve Austin: Last time I was here, I was in the ring with a collection of
stiffs ranging from Hulk Hogan all the way down to Kevin Nash. Quite a range, I
understand, but I decided to bring along a man I don't personally even like,
but from a professional stand point, he may be the best there is in the game
today, Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle: I'm sure everyone is wondering, "Steve, Kurt, why come back to the
PWF and go after the two biggest guys in the company?" Why not! Samoa Joe and
Takeshi Morishima aren't going to intimidate me. I'm an Olympic Gold Medalist
for crying out loud. I've been in the ring with the best of the best and beat
`em all. Steve and I figured we'd started at the top. Joe and Morishima think
they're big shots because they beat The Undertaker. Joe and Morishima think
they're big shots because combined, they make up the single largest tag team in
the PWF today. Well, fellows, let me tell you something right now. The bigger
you are, they harder you fall. Nobody is going to fuck around with Kurt Angle and Steve Austin this time around. We're primed and we're going to take care of
business.
Steve Austin: You see, you're not just looking at Steve Austin right now,
you've also got your hands full with Kurt Angle and we will stomp a mud-hole in
your ass and walk it dry. And that's the bottom line, `cause Stone Cold said
so!
("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring with
Takeshi Morishima to boos from the crowd.)
Samoa Joe: Austin, I don't give a shit what you've done and who you think you
are. Austin, you and Angle beating Morishima and I one time isn't going to stop
us kicking your ass the next time we step in the ring with you. Austin, you two
think you're big shots don't you? You come back to the PWF and think you own
the place. You two have no right to life just because you two aren't finishing
this thing. Austin, by the time I'm done with you, I'm going to make you wish
you never stepped back in a wrestling ring ever again.
(Joe went to Yakuza Kick Austin, but Austin got Joe's leg, spun around and
Stone Cold Stunnered him to huge cheers from the crowd. Morisima grabbed a hold
of Angle and attempted to belly-to-belly suplex him, but was reversed by Angle. Angle executed an overhead belly-to-belly suplex on Morishima to the shock and
awe of the crowd. Austin and Angle posed for the crowd on the ropes to huge
cheers.)

Champion Dave Finlay, PWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Kennedy, Chris Benoit,
Steve Regal, David Taylor, Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams) came to the ring
to huge boos from the crowd.)
Dave Finlay: You people would shut your mouths if you knew what was good for
you!
(The fans booed Finlay.)
Dave Finlay: As PWF World Heavyweight Champion I don't listen to anybody. I
dictate how things will go in the PWF and as things stands right now, despite
some lack of cooperation from the likes of Bret Hart, Bryan Danielson and Davey
Richards, things are going as planned. Kennedy, that's Mr. Kennedy to you
people is the reigning PWF Intercontinental Champion. Regal & Taylor, along
with McGuinness and Williams assure me they will cut the shit and work their
way back to the top of the tag team heap. Last but, not least, Chris Benoit.
Benoit took your hero and has reduced him to nothing more than a crazed,
lunatic who has no trust for anybody anymore. Benoit has crippled Bret Hart's
mind and all that remains is crippling his body!
(Finlay handed the microphone to Kennedy.)
Ken Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, I need no introduction and will never
require one. As soon as you see me walking to the ring, you realize: pay close
attention, we are watching greatness. Davey Richards, Mr. Champions Cup, Mr.
Wannabe, doesn't seem to understand that it'd be easier for him to tuck his
tail between his legs and walk away. He insists on getting in my way as some
plan of his to achieve greatness based off of yours truly. Richards, I'm
warning you, stay out of my business, or you're going to be reduced to nothing
more than another mark in the record book for MISTERRRRRRR
KENNEDY......KENNEDY!
(The fans booed Kennedy. Kennedy handed the microphone to Benoit.)
Chris Benoit: Bret, you didn't really think I'd let you get in the ring with
Finlay, try and cheat with some ringpost figure-four and allow that, did you?
Bret, you're never going to be PWF World Heavyweight Champion again. Bret,
you're never going to be the top dog again. Bret, you're never going to be a
damn thing again, because I won't allow it!
(As Benoit was speaking, Bret Hart ran to the ring and quickly tackled Benoit
to huge cheers from the crowd. Regal and Taylor tried to pull Hart off of
Benoit, but were met with resistence. Regal and Taylor finally pulled Hart off
of Benoit and held his arms behind his back.)
Chris Benoit: Hitman, you want to do this now, fine. I'll finish it now.
(Benoit slapped Hart across the face.)
Chris Benoit: What's that, Bret? You're finished? Thought so.
(Hart spit in Benoit's face.)
Chris Benoit: That's treason as far as this group of men are concerned.
(Benoit began pummeling Hart with fists to the face. Hart low-blowed Taylor and
elbowed Regal in the jaw. Hart tackled Benoit as the fans went wild. Kennedy
grabbed Hart and held him in a full-nelson.)
Dave Finlay: That's enough of this bullshit! Benoit, finish this son-of-a-bitch
right now!
(As Benoit approached Hart, Bryan Danielson and Davey Richards hit the ring and
cleaned house on The Celtic Gang. Danielson helped Hart to his feet, but Hart
quickly pulled away from Danielson and left the ring alone.)

Interview:
Triple H & Shawn Michaels interview
("The Game" by Motorhead played as Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to the
ring.)
Triple H: I've been gone from the PWF for far too long. I was long overdue for
a comeback and rather than coming back alone, I brought a good friend of mine
with me, in Shawn Michaels. You see, Shawn and I aren't here to waste time.
We're not here to be involved with pointless matches. Shawn and I are here to
rise to the top of the PWF as fast as anyone has. You people forget, I am a
former PWF World Heavyweight Champion and I helped build this company. Chris
Hero and Claudio Castagnoli like to call themselves the "Kings of Wrestling."
Bullshit. You're looking at the "King of Kings" and when teamed up with "The
Heartbreak Kid," there is no more lethal combination than Triple H and HBK!
Shawn Michaels: Last go-round in the PWF for me was simply a personal issue
with Bret Hart. We're not going there now and probably won't go there ever
again. Fact is, as Hunter stated, we're here with a purpose and that purpose is
to etch our names at the top of the PWF by going through the best the PWF has
to offer: the Kings of Wrestling. Hero, Castagnoli, you two have run through
the PWF for a long time now and now it's time for someone to run through you.
Triple H: You mess with best, you die like the rest. I am "The Game" and this
game won't be over until I say so.
(Triple H and Michaels left the ring.)

attention, we are watching greatness. Davey Richards, Mr. Champions Cup, Mr.
Wannabe, doesn't seem to understand that it'd be easier for him to tuck his
tail between his legs and walk away. He insists on getting in my way as some
plan of his to achieve greatness based off of yours truly. Richards, I'm
warning you, stay out of my business, or you're going to be reduced to nothing
more than another mark in the record book for MISTERRRRRRR
KENNEDY......KENNEDY!
(The fans booed Kennedy. Kennedy handed the microphone to Benoit.)
Chris Benoit: Bret, you didn't really think I'd let you get in the ring with
Finlay, try and cheat with some ringpost figure-four and allow that, did you?
Bret, you're never going to be PWF World Heavyweight Champion again. Bret,
you're never going to be the top dog again. Bret, you're never going to be a
damn thing again, because I won't allow it!
(As Benoit was speaking, Bret Hart ran to the ring and quickly tackled Benoit
to huge cheers from the crowd. Regal and Taylor tried to pull Hart off of
Benoit, but were met with resistence. Regal and Taylor finally pulled Hart off
of Benoit and held his arms behind his back.)
Chris Benoit: Hitman, you want to do this now, fine. I'll finish it now.
(Benoit slapped Hart across the face.)
Chris Benoit: What's that, Bret? You're finished? Thought so.
(Hart spit in Benoit's face.)
Chris Benoit: That's treason as far as this group of men are concerned.
(Benoit began pummeling Hart with fists to the face. Hart low-blowed Taylor and
elbowed Regal in the jaw. Hart tackled Benoit as the fans went wild. Kennedy
grabbed Hart and held him in a full-nelson.)
Dave Finlay: That's enough of this bullshit! Benoit, finish this son-of-a-bitch
right now!
(As Benoit approached Hart, Bryan Danielson and Davey Richards hit the ring and
cleaned house on The Celtic Gang. Danielson helped Hart to his feet, but Hart
quickly pulled away from Danielson and left the ring alone.)

Interview:
Triple H & Shawn Michaels interview
("The Game" by Motorhead played as Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to the
ring.)
Triple H: I've been gone from the PWF for far too long. I was long overdue for
a comeback and rather than coming back alone, I brought a good friend of mine
with me, in Shawn Michaels. You see, Shawn and I aren't here to waste time.
We're not here to be involved with pointless matches. Shawn and I are here to
rise to the top of the PWF as fast as anyone has. You people forget, I am a
former PWF World Heavyweight Champion and I helped build this company. Chris
Hero and Claudio Castagnoli like to call themselves the "Kings of Wrestling."
Bullshit. You're looking at the "King of Kings" and when teamed up with "The
Heartbreak Kid," there is no more lethal combination than Triple H and HBK!
Shawn Michaels: Last go-round in the PWF for me was simply a personal issue
with Bret Hart. We're not going there now and probably won't go there ever
again. Fact is, as Hunter stated, we're here with a purpose and that purpose is
to etch our names at the top of the PWF by going through the best the PWF has
to offer: the Kings of Wrestling. Hero, Castagnoli, you two have run through
the PWF for a long time now and now it's time for someone to run through you.
Triple H: You mess with best, you die like the rest. I am "The Game" and this
game won't be over until I say so.
(Triple H and Michaels left the ring.)

PWF Showdown 2014
February 25, 2014
-During the Can-Am Express (Lance Storm & Jerry Lynn) vs. Samoa Joe and Takeshi
Morishima tag team match, Morishima connected with a spinning side slam on a
charging Lynn. Morishima made the cover as PWF referee John Finnegean counted
to two as Morishima was pulled out of the ring by returning Kurt Angle. Angle
hit a belly to belly suplex on Morishima and tossed him into the ring as a
returning Steve Austin pulled Joe off the ring apron and Stone Cold Stunnered
him. Lynn hit a flying elbowdrop as Finnegean regained control of the match and
counted the fall, awarding the match to Storm & Lynn.
-During the ALXchange (Ken Doane & Johnny Nitro) vs. Kings of Wrestling (Chris
Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) tag team match, Doane & Nitro's manager Don Callis
tripped Hero as he came off the ropes. Hero grabbed Callis and pulled him into
the ring. PWF referee Jim Mollineux tried to break up the scuffle between Hero
and Callis as the returning Triple H (with sledgehammer in hand) and Shawn
Michaels hopped the guardrail. Triple H nailed Hero & Castagnoli's manager
Larry Sweeney with a hard fist. Michaels pulled Castagnoli off the ring apron
and superkicked him. Hero went after Triple H and Michaels. Hero leaned through
the ropes to grab ahold of Triple H, but was smashed in the face with the
sledgehammer from Triple H to the blindside of Mollineux. Doane caught Hero and
rolled him up for a pin as Mollineux counted the fall and awarded the match to
Doane & Nitro.
-During the PWF World Heavyweight Championship match between champion Dave
Finlay and challenger Bret Hart, Chris Benoit came to the ring and stood at
ringside smiling at Hart as Hart stared at him with rage. Hart connected with
an elbow drop from the second rope and began to apply the Sharpshooter on
Finlay. As Hart stepped through with the Sharpshooter, Benoit nailed Hart in
the face with a elbow smash to the blindside of PWF referee Nick Patrick.
Finlay got to his feet and executed the Celtic Cross on Hart. Patrick counted
the fall and awarded the match to Finlay. Following the match, Finlay and
Benoit left the ring to huge boos from the crowd. Hart completely flipped out.
Hart grabbed Patrick by the collar and knocked him out with a fist. Hart ripped
apart the ringside area and finally left the ring, enraged and pissed as the
fans cheered him.

Interview:
Bret Hart interview
("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd.)
Bret Hart: You know, you work hard at something to be the best. You reach the
top and all you get to listen to and see are other people trying to tear you
down. I've been a professional wrestler my entire life and I'm sick and tired
of being torn down. Chris Benoit, I used to think of you as a brother. You were
a confidant. You traveled with me, we roomed together and we trained together.
Benoit, I used to hold you in high regard as a man I'd trust with my life. Now
I see you for what you really are, a no good piece of shit.
(The fans cheered.)
Bret Hart: Benoit! You turning your back on me was the best thing that could
have happened, because now, not only am I watching my own back, I don't have
anyone around me to stick a knife through my back. Chris, you want to claim to
have me on your list. Chris, I've got a list of my own and you're the first
name from the top. Chris, don't think that surrounding yourself with scumbags
like The Celtic Gang is going to stop me from getting my hands on your neck and
choking the life out of you. Chris, we will be in the ring together, one-on-one
and I'm not walking out of the ring until I snap your legs in two. Chris, I
thought you were one guy I could count on not to screw me over, but I guess
you're just like everyone else: looking out for your own best interests. From here on out, it's time for the Hitman to start looking out for his own best
interests and show to the entire PWF that he is still the best there is, the
best there was the best there ever will be!
(Hart left the ring to cheers from the crowd.)
