Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for April 5, 1997

Mankind beats Bob "Spark Plug" Holly with the Mandible Claw. After the match, Kevin Kelly interviews Mankind and Paul Bearer in the ring, and when asked if he is ashamed of how he betrayed The Undertaker last week, Paul Bearer grabs Kevin Kelly by the jacket collar and asks him who he is to stick his nose in their business before bullying him out of the ring and celebrating what he and Mankind did to The Undertaker. Mankind tells Paul Bearer to imagine how he felt when the three-count was made and The Undertaker became WWF Champion, as in his mind and soul, he knew he was the better man. Mankind feels no remorse, and says that it made him happy to smell his burning flesh, because he remembers the time that he was escorted off an airplane by military police because his skin was melting off his face after a wrestling match. He then says he has no sympathy for what he will do to The Undertaker, because it has already happened to him, and at In Your House, The Undertaker may be the cream of the crop, but there is a filthy pond near his house and sometimes the scum rises to. He says The Undertaker will know what it is like to walk in his shoes while he gets to know the love of the fans when he walks out as WWF Champion.

The Undertaker full-size vinyl banner is now available for $29.95 plus shipping and handling!

Sycho Sid beats Jerry Fox. After the match, The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog) show up and stare at Sycho Sid from the stage. Suddenly, they approach the ring, and Sid dares them to get in the ring. It is then that The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) show up from out of the crowd and get in the ring, and The Hart Foundation turn around and head to the back.

Los Cadetes de Espacio (Discovery, Ludxor, Super Nova and Venum) beat Abismo Negro, El Mosco, Histeria and Maniaco.

Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon beat "The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya and R.T. Williams. During the match, Jim Cornette shows up and takes notes on the match.

It's time for Sunny Undercover. On the subject of Mankind having anything up his sleeve for In Your House, a reliable source tells her that he does. She also reports that The Honky Tonk Man has a new protege to replace "Double J" Jesse James, who turned him down, and that this person has been a champion in WWF before. She also recaps Rocky Johnson fighting alongside Rocky Maivia, and says Rocky Maivia will be hit with a second shocker, then asks what Tony Atlas was doing watching the match from ringside. Sunny then reports that The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog) will continue to grow, and by summer's end, they will be a foursome to be reckoned with. As for the identity of the fourth member, that person may not necessarily be a wrestler or even a man, and that sunny days may be ahead for The Hart Foundation.
