FAMILY OUTING
I finished my run with the WWF at “The International Incident" in Vancouver four days after Matt's funeral in July of 1996. The match pitted Davey, Owen, Vader and Jim Cornette against Ultimate Warrior, Ahmed and Shawn Michaels. It was the first “In Your House" pay-per-view that they had done in Canada.
They hired me one more time in July 1997, for The Canadian Stampede. I had been crowned Mrs. Calgary so my picture was often in the paper and the WWF decided to capitalize on that. The Canadian Stampede pitted Ken Shamrock, Steve Austin, Mike Hegstrandt aka Hawk and Joe Laurentis aka Animal—together they were The Legion of Doom—along with Dustin Runnels better known as, Goldust, against the entire Hart Foundation: Brian Pilman, Jim Neidhart, Brew, Owen and Davey.
I walked them out to the ring. We cheated and won and the fans were crazy about us. Maybe it was because Bret had said that the United States needed an enema and should be flushed down the toilet. My mom was really offended lest her American sisters hear what he had said.
We got a standing ovation and I remember Brian Pilman turning to me in awe. “Ten years ago, who would have dreamed we’d all be here starring in the Saddledome in front of the world on pay-per-view!"
The whole family jumped up from their front row seats and clambered on stage. There were over 50 of us including Bret’s 14-year-old daughter, Jade.
Bret turned to a strange teenage boy standing beside him and snapped, “Who the hell are you?"
The kid was grinning from ear to ear and waving enthusiastically at the crowd, “I'm Jade's boyfriend.”
