Owen Hart cuts a pre-taped promo on Bret Hart for their match at Destination Dallas III. Owen and Jim Neidhart are the UWA Universal Tag Team Champions and that’s something Bret can’t claim even though he’s tagged with both of them. Bret might be the excellence of execution, but Owen is the King of Harts and whether it’s tag team wrestling or singles wrestling, nobody does it better than him. Now, he’s not arrogant enough to say he’s the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be, but he is better than his brother and he’ll prove that in a few short days.

“National Treasure” Nick Aldis cuts a pre-taped promo on how his ex-wife, Mickie James, is in his rearview mirror. She’s done nothing but hold him back. He’s the former UWA Universal Men’s Champion and he hates to say former. He’s going to have gold around his waist against soon in WCW or beyond it. He’s the National Treasure and he’s going to remind all of the UWA fans and superstars of that.

“The Universal Heartthrob” Austin Idol cuts a pre-taped promo. Idol loves being the Universal Heartthrob, but he’d love being the UWA Universal Men’s Champion even more. He’s the women's pet and the men’s regret. What you see is what you get and what you don’t see is even better yet.
