Part 2 - Diana Hart-Smith joins us and she starts by talking about her book "Under the Mat" which will come out in October. - Diana says the book will clear up a lot of the rumors about her family and it will be the brutal truth. She says this book will set the record straight. - Diana says she imagines Bret won’t like parts of the book, but he may agree with some of her thoughts. - Diana said she anticipates an explosion when Bret reads some of her opinions. - Hart-Smith says she hasn’t spoken to Bret since the day after Owen’s funeral when he "tore a strip off her" and a lot of the members of the family because they literally embraced members of the McMahon family at the funeral. - Diana says the Hart family doesn’t care what Bret thinks anyway. - She is thankful for what Bret did in putting the Hart family name on the map, but Diana says that he owes it all to Stu. - Diana discusses how Martha (Owen’s Widow) is still very bitter. She tells that Martha wants nothing to do with the Hart family and Diana feels that Martha was somewhat smug even before the Owen tragedy happened. Martha called Owen a White sheep in a Black sheep family. - Diana says Martha was lucky to have Owen and not the other way around. - Diana said she was Owen’s sister and she lost someone she loved too, but Martha refuses to stop being bitter. - Hart-Smith then stated that Martha and Bret have been all about themselves since Owen’s death. Not caring about the rest of the family’s opinion. - Diana said she never sees Owen’s kids and she barely saw them when Owen was alive…she only saw them when Owen brought them by. - She then stated that Martha would not allow her children to play with Diana’s because she is afraid they will get along with them. - Diana then says the Hart family is a little odd but they are not bad people and Martha painted a bad picture of them. - She then says that Martha will not agree with a lot of things in the book…if she even admits to reading it at all. - Diana says she does not blame Vince McMahon for what happened with Owen…she says it was an accident. - She then says you can’t worry that things will go wrong in your life or you won’t do anything at all. - Diana says if Owen were really against doing that stunt then he wouldn’t have done it. - Diana says that Vince hires people to be in charge of stunts because Vince can’t be everywhere at once. - Diana believes that if this had happened to her father, Stu, during the match where he had Jon Foley suspended above the ring in a Cage and Jon had fallen to his death, then many people would have blamed her father for doing stunts also and their would also be people who understood it was an accident. - Rod sends us to break. Part 3 - Diana says that she thinks Bret is more upset with Vince because of the Montreal Incident at Survivor Series 97’ then the Owen Tragedy. She thinks a lot of his bitterness towards Vince is because of that match with Shawn Michaels. She stated that Bret felt that he was such an asset to the WWF that Vince should have done whatever he wanted. - Diana says Bret uses Owens death as a platform to his WWF bashing because no one will challenge his statements if it involves Owen’s death. - Diana said that Martha and Bret act like they are the only ones who lost someone.

She said she was in the hospital because she took too many pills and was pronounced dead four times. She said she did this in a quest to get people to believe her…almost a "I’ll take my life to save his type thing." - Diana said that the incident didn’t make a damn bit of difference to Davey. - Diana said Davey put a restraining order on her…but it works both ways…She said she has the kids and they rarely talk to Davey because he changes his number all the time. - Diana says that her and her sister Ellie were like Thelma and Louise and they were gonna drive off the cliff together. - Ellie was also getting abused by Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. - Diana says they both wanted to divorce their husbands who were totally rotten to them. - She says that in Jim and Davey’s world they think they would have been big stars, even without the help of Stu Hart. - Diana makes fun of Davey by saying he’s right he would have been discovered over in England while he was delivering fruit at age 15 and become the WWF Tag Team Champion. - She says that Ellie was more severely abused by Jim then she was by Davey. - She said the Ellie can’t break away from the yo-yo that Jim has her on…She’s with him, then she’s not, she’s in the women’s shelter, then she’s in the hospital. - Diana stated that she is dating James Trimble (Indy Wrestler Dick Butkus Jr.) because she is trying to get on with her life. - She says that Ellie is holding on to a ridiculous notion that if she got back with Davey then Bruce’s wife would go back to Bruce and things would be better again. - Diana said to Ellie "why would Bruce want his wife back and why would you want me to go back with Davey and for that matter why are you still with Jim." - Ellie said that she stays with him because "She’s been with him for 21 damn good years!" - Diana said to Ellie that if she stays with him another ten years she could be dead with the way Jim is. - Diana says Ellie has been counterproductive for her, in that she is dating again. - Diana says that Ellie has no problem telling her boyfriend James, who has been her friend for years, that she has no respect for him because he is dating a married woman right at the Sunday dinner table. - Diana says that Ellie has visions of Davey and Jim getting together as tag team partners and wiping the mat of all the competition in the WWF and that everything will go back to the way it was 15 years ago. - Diana says that if Davey didn’t have a passion for drugs then they may have had a better life. - Diana says that she has developed a close relationship with James.
