Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for March 1, 1997

The show starts with Kevin Kelly interviewing The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) in the audience. Animal says that like the people of Chicago, Illinois, they are from the streets, and they hope will all their might that they will be at WrestleMania. Hawk says you know how it is when you wake up in that dark alley in Chicago after sleeping on your cardboard mattress, and you wake up not because you have an alarm clock, but because a sewer rat is biting your big toe. He says that is what The Legion is all about. They had their psychological profiles checked, and it was not good, never had been and never will be as they like the way they are, and that it is everyone else who has to wrestle them who do not.

The Nation of Domination (Crush and Savio Vega) beat Goldust and Miguel Perez after Crush hits Goldust with a chair and puts Savio Vega on top of Goldust as the referee deals with disorder at ringside. After the match, Miguel Perez grabs a stel chair and nails both Crush and Savio Vega with it, forcing them to retreat.

The World Wrestling Federation is heading to Tyler, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Springfield, Massachusetts; Worcester, Massachusetts; Louisville, Kentucky; Landover, Maryland and New York City's Madison Square Garden!

Kevin Kelly interviews The Undertaker. The Undertaker decrees that from this day forward, WrestleMania 13 will be known as "WrestleMania the 13th." It will be lucky for some, and unlucky for Sycho Sid. He has sat back for years and let Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels have their day of glory, and he chose to represent causes instead of titles, but now the creatures of the night beckon for a world title. He says Sid may be the most physically intimidating athlete to walk the face of the earth today, but throughout his existence, he has laid giants to rest. He may not be the first, but he can be the last, and as big, strong and punishing as Sid can be, he has the ability to take all he has and a little bit more. He has no remorse for what he must do, and he must do it. At WrestleMania 13 is looking up, he will know that The Undertaker is the master and the master of the dark side, and if anyone decides to stand before darkness, all they need to do is line up as he is willing to lay everyone to rest, as Sycho Sid will rest in peace.

We see footage of the European Championship tournament in WWF's recent tour of Europe. This Monday night will see the birth of the WWF European Championship when The British Bulldog and Owen Hart square off in the finals to determine the inaugural WWF European Champion.

Blackjack Bradshaw beats Henry O. Godwinn after Bradshaw switches places with Blackjack Windham...almost. However, when the footage is replayed and another referee shows up and tells the referee of the match what happened, the decision is reversed and The Blackjacks (Bradshaw and Windham) get angry and attack the Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) only for The Godwinns to get the upper hand.

This Monday night on Raw: Mankind vs. Sycho Sid for the WWF Championship!

It is announced that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels is currently rehabbing his knee and should be back in action soon. We then see a music video for Shawn Michaels.
