Interlude: Ross' Rage
Hmm...I'll have a go.

11th November 1997
Jim Ross: I've been commentating on professional wrestling for 20 years and in all these 20 years folks I've never seen such an outrageous and shameful end to a wrestling match. Whether you like it or not and I don't like it Shawn Michaels is the new World Wrestling Federation champion following what I can only describe as a shocking conclusion to the match and a truly disgraceful aftermath. Bret Hart was locked into the Sharpshooter, his own move by the Heartbreak Kid and the referee Earl Hebner calls for the bell!. Hart didn't submit,he didn't give up. If that wasn't bad enough there was then a brawl between DX and the Hart Foundation. The ring was a bloodbath, thousands of dollars of WWF Television equipment destroyed and a damn near riot in the crowd. Ladies and Gentlemen as I stand here in the centre of the ring I and all of you want an explanation. I am calling out Michaels, Hebner AND Vince Macmahon. Get your worthless asses out here right now and EXPLAIN yourselves...are you listening you bastards!

Jerry Lawler: Err Ladies and Gentlemen I can only apologise for the language you just heard. Yes there is a lot of anger in the WWF right now but its clear heads that are needed....(grabs a microphone). Jim, please for God's sake come back here. You're just making things worse.

JR: Worse...WORSE! How in hell's name can they get worse!?
