00:15on this particular Monday night big news you heard about it earlier I'm gonna
00:19bring out one of the men that will be participating later on in a very big
00:23match he claims he's the best there is the best there ever will be he is of
00:31course a multi-champion please welcome Brett the Hitman Hart
00:37Of course now we saw Benoit's death by Stevie Ray we gotta wonder about his condition going in and not only that guys
00:44you gotta realize that Brett Hart is really messed about the decision that Benoit made on Thunder recently
00:53they do not put on the white and the black
00:55well on the surface it would look like it was a personal affront to Brett the Hitman Hart
01:00especially right in front of the NWO Hollywood while they were trying to recruit Benoit
01:05interested to hear if the Hitman has any comments about that
01:09all right gentlemen as you know I said the best there is was ever will be Brett the Hitman Hart
01:15that was not the case your actions were a little well questionable shall I say
01:21when you went down the ringside and actually blatantly interfered in a match between Booker T and Chris Benoit
01:29now hopefully Chris Benoit healthy enough to get with you one on one in the ring tonight
01:34it should be a great match
01:36let me tell you about a man named Shhh okay listen I hope everybody's happy
01:42that they've turned one Canadian against another
01:47you know I can remember Chris Benoit when he was a little snot-nosed punk running around in Calgary
01:55when it was my family and my brothers that gave him the only chance to be what he is right now today
02:03you know Chris Benoit you'd think you'd have just a little more respect
02:11have a little faith in my judgment because it was my judgment and the faith that I gave you that got you this far already
02:19and all you people out there you know and I know that there's nothing to be a hero in the world of wrestling anymore
02:28and it's all your fault
02:30now you've corrupted this poor kid's mind he was a good Canadian till he came down here
02:37so Chris Benoit you've crossed the line you wanted to be a big dog and go on the hunt
02:45well you've got it you got the chance of a lifetime to step in the ring with the greatest technical wrestler in the history of wrestling
02:57damn straight
03:00and you know Chris Benoit all these fans they give you all this hope and they make you lose all that fear
03:08you're not afraid you're gonna go in the ring because you've got all this courage
03:12but deep down inside there is no hope and you have nothing but fear
03:17because you're gonna go down to the excellence of execution
03:21we're gonna find out tonight later on it's gonna be Brett to hit Van Hart one-on-one with fellow Canadian The Crippler
03:27Chris Benoit it is part of Nitro here on TNT
