"Bret, you will never ever be seen in the WWE again"

Vince McMahon: "First of all, I'd like to put an end to the rumors that I've hired extra security both inside and-- ['We want Bret!'-Chants] You what? [Die Chants werden lauter] Like I said, I wanna put an end to the rumors that I've hired extra security both in and outside the ring to prevent Bret Hart from being here tonight. Bret Hart is not here tonight because he's intimidated. Twelve years ago, Bret spit in my face, he suckerpunched me, walked out on my company, twelve years ago, Bret screwed Bret.

However, last week, I screwed Bret. You see, Bret came out here and he wanted to play nicey-nicey, he wanted to put bygones behind him, he wanted to, like, move on, wanted to bring closure to this whole thing, and you have to understand something, Bret: I don't play nice. I don't play nice, I don't forgive, and I don't forget, Bret. So therefore, that would bring us, Bret, to the way that we left you last week. You wanted to bring closure, Bret, we brought closure as we went of the air, here you were, down on the canvas, writhing in pain, humbled and humiliated by me. That's closure.

But if you really want closure, Bret, you're not gonna be here this week, next week or any other week, Bret, because, if you want closure, let me just say this, Bret, that officially and forever, Bret, you will never ever be seen in the WWE again."
