Pretape with Jimmy Hart and his Stampede World Heavyweight Champion, Rick Rude!
Jimmy: “Take the look at the body, watch his matches, Bret Hart this man is gonna beat you and keep the belt, Baby!
Rick Rude: “Bret Hart I heard all about your dad’s so called dungeon from Eddie Gilbert but you see when you look and prove and wrestle like Rick Rude, you don’t have to enter some sort of ‘dungeon’. As a matter of fact if your old man tried to put his mitts on me, I would just knock him out!
“Now I have a little more respect for you Bret Hart but the message is the same for you: I will do ANYTHING to keep this belt, and if you try any of that ticky-tack ‘dungeon’ junk on ME, I will just wrap around you like a pretzel, choke you out, and take the dreams away from you and all those idiotic Canadian fans away from YOU!

Ed Whalen in a pretape with Bret Hart in response to Rick Rude’s remarks!
Bret: “Like I said Rick Rude the door to the Dungeon is wide open but since you refuse to enter, July 2 at The Stampede I’m going to bring the Dungeon to YOU! There’s nothing ‘ticky tack’ about my wrestling style, and while you say you will wrap me up like a pretzel, I will counter by wrapping YOU LIKE A SNAKE, and either knockout, submit and take the Stampede World Heavyweight Championship! I know you have all those muscles and a big mouth, its doesn't scare me and I'm gonna beat you July2 for the people of CALGARY!

GREAT MUTA /Kendo Nagasaki UK v PAUL ROMA
Nagasaki enters the ring first, with a samurai sword, which he places the blade into the ring, as
PLAYS! And here comes the Great Muta in a mask, he enters the ring, takes it off to reveal his painted face, and BLOWS MIST IN THE AIR!
Muta immediately attacks Roma, and pummels him with kicks and high flying karate strikes, then at 3:24:
WHAT WAS THAT? A MOONSAULT IS THE NAME OF THE MOVE, AND MUTA COVERS ROMA FOR THE PIN!
Eric: “Fans we have not seen anything like this in wrestling before, THE GREAT MUTA with a huge debut here in Commonwealth Wrestling! Anyone that holds a belt here better PAY ATTENTION!

Eddie: “You know something Bret Hart, after I got done pouring out my soul about the mental and physical damage you’re sick and sadistic old man did to me as a greenhorn teenager and to countless other wrestlers you came out here and LIED about me entering the Stu Hart Dungeon.
“Well, let me tell you something, PUNK, not only what I said was true, but you then made the mistake of inviting me back into that smelly, sick disgusting basement.
“Well, you know what? Bret Hart between me, much older and wiser and having held a few titles WITHOUT your Dads help, this man the Mad Dog, and my masked Insurance Policy here, maybe I WILL make that visit, any time any place because the door is ‘open’, and not only will we three take on a knock out anyone in that mansion of yours, but we will track down you, your brothers and your old man and show who is the top dog in Commonwealth Wrestling!

Frenchy Martin, the Rougeaus and Chef Dino Bravo join Ed Whalen at ringside. The Rougeaus are still dressed like cowboys. Ed asks the stable what they think of their matches at the Stampede Supershow on July 2!
Frenchy: “We are ECSTATIC Ed Whelan! The Calgary Cowboys of the Rougeou brothers will defeat the young jerks OWEN HART AND BRIAN PILLMAN, and that win will propel them to a title match against The Road Warriors or the Nasty Boys, and as for Jim Neidhart not only is Dino Bravo a better Chef than you, he is in more shape and his win will move the Chef up the ratings to challenge the winner of the Rick Rude v Bret Hart title match!
Dino: “Non seulement j'ai un meilleur corps que vous, mais je suis le meilleur cuisinier et au Stampede, je m'assurerai d'avoir les bons ingrédients et la recette pour vous vaincre le 2 juillet !

Paul Ellering with the International Tag Team Champions the Road Warriors in a pretape!
Paul: “SOOOOO Commonwealth Championship Wrestling, you want THESE MEN on your television program? Next week, you got it but be careful what you ask for, right Animal?
Animal: “It might seem to me the good people at Commonwealth Wrestling think that we are here to just wrestle and defend these title belts against guys like the Nasty Boys.
“AAAAAAAAAW hell no! We don’t care if its Chicago, Detroit, or Calgary we aren’t looking for a ‘wrestling match’ . . . when it comes to two punks the Nasty Boys, July 2, we are gonna pull out ALL the stops tell ‘em Hawk!
Hawk: “WELLLLLLLLLL? Canada get ready because you’ve NEVER seen wrestlers that look like US! Nasty Boys pay close attention . . .what we do to next week’s opponents will be a Tupperware party compared to what will happen in the ring when we meet July 2.
