Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for January 3, 1998

Vader beats Julio Sanchez with a top rope moonsault.

"The Lethal Blackman" Steve Blackman beats Jimmy Cicero by submission. During the match, it is announced that Jim Ross has the inside scoop on Chainsaw Charlie on The Ross Report on Option 3 of the WWF Superstar Line.

We hear from "Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn before their match against The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) at CoreStates Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 25th. Billy Gunn brags about stealing their shoulder pads and taking the tag team titles from them before nearly sending them out of the WWF for good, and says they may lose an arm and a leg next. Road Dogg says that they will not lose the tag team titles, because when they come to town, they take care of business.

WrestleMania 14 is twelve weeks away!

"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry beats D'Lo Brown by disqualification after the rest of The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, Kama Mustafa, The Rock) attack Mark Henry. After the match, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock runs into the ring and fights off The Nation.

After the match, Kurrgan the Interrogator gets in the ring and attacks The New Blackjacks. Blackjack Windham falls victim to the Paralyzer, and The Jackal has to calm Kurrgan down to get him off Windham.

We hear from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin prior to his match at CoreStates Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 25th where he teams up with Cactus Jack to take on The Nation of Domination (Faarooq and The Rock). He says Philadelphia, Pennsylvania likes to fight, and that they know him and Cactus Jack. He feels sorry for Faarooq and The Rock, since they are all muscled up but are sacrificial lambs. He tells them to run when the bell rings, because if he and Cactus Jack catches them, they are going down.

Before the next match, Jeff Jarrett asks how many times the WWF will drop the ball, as he has waited for weeks for a suitable opponent and the WWF needs the ratings that he can bring. He says he could beat Scott Taylor - a light heavyweight - ten years ago in his first match, and says he has had two matches against The Undertaker and Vader since he came back, and his hand was raised after both of them. He then says Scott Taylor is beneath him, and tells referee Earl Hebrner to find another opponent. Before Jarrett can say much else, Scott Taylor hits Jeff Jarrett with a baseball slide as Jarrett leaves.

Jeff Jarrett beats Scott Taylor with the Figure Four Leg Lock in his Shotgun Saturday Night debut after Scott Taylor's left knee buckles after he lands on his feet from a backflip off the top rope.
