Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for June 7, 1997

Vince McMahon interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin face-to-face in the ring to start tonight's show. WWF referees and officials are in the ring to make sure that both Shawn and Austin do not go at it in the ring at any point in the interview. Austin tells Vince that his fist is about to collide with his face, and says he never asked to be Shawn's tag team partner, and that he wanted Brian Pillman at King of the Ring. After Austin tells Vince he does not have much to say to him, Shawn tells Austin he was put in the same position just like he was, and that he didn't ask to be Austin's partner, either. He has no problem wrestling him, but he wanted to face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at King of the Ring, and says this is no dream for him. Austin vents his frustration over having to save Shawn during tag team matches, and says that Shawn will get his ass kicked this Sunday. Shawn says his ass has been kicked plenty of times, and tells Austin that when he pulls his foot out of his ass, he should pull his head out along with it. He tells Austin that if he wants Pillman, he can just wait until Monday, and until then, he'll play him a little Sweet Chin Music. Austin says he won't be listening as he'll be too busy whipping his ass up and down the ring. Austin then says the interview is over, and he pretends to leave only to run back towards the commentary table and attack Pillman. Referees and officials have to pull Austin and Pillman off of each other, then Austin is escorted to the back.

Ahmed Johnson and Mankind beat Jerry "The King" Lawler and Hunter Hearst Helmsley after some miscommunication between Lawler and Helmsley after an accidental elbow drop on Lawler as Helmsley tries to break a pinfall leads to Chyna punching Lawler in the face as Lawler grabs at Helmsley's hair while Helmsley leaves.

We see a video package for Faarooq vs. The Undertaker for the WWF Championship at King of the Ring.

Owen Hart and The British Bulldog beat "Double J" Jesse James and Bob Holly. During the match, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart are seen watching the match from the back before heading out and making their way to the ringside area. Later on in the match, Hart and Neidhart surround Jesse James, and Hart attacks him with one of his crutches as he tries to get back in the ring.

Blackjack Bradshaw beats Phillip LaFon. After the match, LaFon tries to convince the referee that his foot was on the rope, as does Doug Furnas, who shows up. Furnas and LaFon then attack Bradshaw until Blackjack Windham runs into the ring, causing Furnas and LaFon to flee.
