Vince's Got A Shotgun (Challenge) - Shotgun Challenge recap for May 24, 1997

The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) beat Doug Furnas and Philip LaFon. The match is Henry O. Godwinn's first match since his C4 vertebrae injury last month, and compared to Phineas' usual jovial dancing, Henry is a lot more serious and is not smiling. After the match, Henry O. Godwinn refuses to dance.

We hear from Faarooq. He says that ever since he has entered the World Wrestling Federation, he has had to constantly prove himself as both a Black man and a wrestler. He says that the Black race is tired of doing menial work, and they will no longer sit back and be pacifists as they will take their rightful place on this earth and be treated equally. He says there has never been a black WWF Champion, but that day is coming. He calls The Undertaker "the great White hope" that everyone gives praise, but history will be made at King of the Ring and he will become the first Black WWF Champion by any means necessary.

We see episode two of Sunny's Search and Soak Mission, where Jim Cornette gets soaked with with the Super Soaker CPS2000.

"Double J" Jesse James beats David Haskins.

The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) beat Reginald Walker and Carl Fergie.

Jim Ross interviews The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) in the ring. Animal says that they have beaten The Hart Foundation once, and at King of the Ring, they have them for the tag team titles and they will beat them again. However, next Monday night, they realize they will be facing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, and if Austin and Shawn take the tag team titles from them that night, they'll beat Austin and Shawn up, too, because they want the titles badly. Hawk says it was not too long ago that they had Owen and Bulldog in a match and won, and that they came up with a technicality that they pinned the wrong guy. He goes on to say that they have more excuses than Eddie Murphy, and after King of the Ring, they will win.

Brian Pillman beats Tony Williams. During the match, Pillman is aggressive towards Jim Cornette for sitting in his seat on commentary.

We hear from "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. He asks Bret "The Hit Man" Hart if he knows what bat guano is, and says Bret has been spreading so much of it around the WWF since WrestleMania, and now Bret wants to make a challenge where he can beat him in ten minutes while the rest of The Hart Foundation (Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Brian Pillman) is handcuffed to all four ring posts. He says this will be mano-a-mano, and while the world has been waiting for his, nobody has waited for this longer than him. He has had it with Bret's shit, and know he's going to knock it out of him.

Ahmed Johnson beats D'Lo Brown. After the match, Crush and Savio Vega stomp Ahmed Johnson, then Rocky Maivia runs in to make the save. This is almost to no avail, but with Crush and Savio Vega forced to focus on both men, Rocky and Ahmed are able to fight back.
