Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for June 14, 1997

Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart beats "Double J" Jesse James. During the match, Brian Pillman shows up late, throwing Jesse James into the ring before heading to the commentary table. He also tosses water into Jesse James' face during the match, and does it again after the match before tossing the bottle at referee Tim White.

Vince McMahon interviews Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed says he loves The Undertaker just as much as the fans do, but all he wants from The Undertaker is to wake up and come back to reality in regards to Paul Bearer. As far as the new Nation of Domination goes, he used to run with a gang, and if they want a gang fight, he is the man they can take it to. If The Undertaker comes out as himself, that is fine, but if he wants to listen to Paul Bearer, he will do whatever he has to do for his people, and if that means hitting The Undertaker with the Pearl River Plunge, he will do that. The Undertaker shows up with Paul Bearer. Paul Bearer tells Ahmed to listen to him, as this Monday, he will be in the same boat as The Undertaker and he will do what he tells him to do. He also tells The Undertaker they can do this the easy way or the hard way. Ahmed tells The Undertaker he loves and respects him like a brother, and that he has always been the man and there is nobody like him, but as a brother, if he crosses him, he will stomp his ass. As for Paul Bearer, he is using The Undertaker like a slave, and he will break Paul Bearer's slave mentality on The Undertaker any way he can as he does not play around. Paul Bearer commands The Undertaker to leave the ring with him, but Ahmed begs him not to do it. Ahmed and 'Taker shake hands, then The Undertaker leaves.

We see footage from last weekend at the ECW Arena where Jerry "The King" Lawler and "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam fought the ECW locker room prior to Paul E. Dangerously's revenge last Monday night.

Jerry "The King" Lawler and "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam vs. The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) after "The Innovator of Violence" ends when Tommy Dreamer gets into the ring and goes after Rob Van Dam. Paul E. Dangerously is seen at ringside directing traffic, but referees and officials get in the ring and keep everyone away from Dreamer.

Henry O. Godwinn beats Salvatore Sincere in his first match back from his neck injury. Compared to Phineas I. Godwinn, Henry O. Godwinn is not as jovial when he makes his way to the ring, and his wrestling style is more aggressive. After the match, Henry O. Godwinn absolutely refuses to dance with Phineas, and makes it known to him.

Scott Taylor beats Steve Ramsey.
