Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for January 31, 1998

Blackjack Bradshaw beats Donovan Morgan. Barry Windham is seen watching from the stage during the match. Bradshaw dares Windham to get in the ring, but Windham heads back to the back.

Kurrgan the Interrogator - not accompanied to the ring by The Jackyl this week - beats Michael Modest with the Paralyzer. During the match it is announced that the Toughwoman World Championship will be live on pay-per-view this Friday, February 8th at 9 PM Eastern. After the match, Kurrgan drags Michael Modest to the back with the Paralyzer still applied.

We hear from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who says that at No Way Out, there will be no way out of getting their asses kicked for D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels), as he will be on the other side of the ring from them along with Cactus Jack, Chainsaw Charlie and Owen Hart, the last of whom he admits he does not like. He tells Owen to stand on the apron and look stupid, as he is good at it, and to stay out of his way as he does not need help. He tells DX and The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) that they will be getting their asses kicked at No Way Out.

Mini Nova and Mosaic beat Batallion and Tarantula. During the match, Battallion keeps kicking out of pinfall attempts by Mini Nova, and referee Mike Chioda keeps tossing Mini Nova back on top of Batallion twice. Shortly after this, Mosaic kicks out of a pinfall attempt by Tarantula, and the kick-out causes Tarantula to fall on top of Chioda. Battallion and Mosaic get on top of Tarantula, and Mini Nova counts a "pinfall attempt." Later still, Batallion lands on timekeeper Mark Yeaton during some action outside of the ring, and Batallion gets out of the way as Mini Nova leaps onto him, leaving Yeaton to place Mini Nova back in the ring.

WrestleMania 14 is eight weeks away!

Sunny is the special guest ring announcer for the next match. It is also announced that Vic Venom, editor-in-chief of Raw Magazine and that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels is featured nude in the newest issue of the magazine. Sunny also dances with Los Boricuas (Savio Vega, Miguel Perez, Jesus Castillo, Jose Estrada Jr.) during their entrance.

Taka Michinoku retains the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship against Jesus Castillo. Not long into the match, the rest of Los Boricuas (Savio Vega, Miguel Perez, Jose Estrada Jr.) are ejected from ringside for attempted interference; nevertheless, they show up later to watch the match from the stage and to distract Taka from a distance, which does not work. After the match, Taka Michinoku flees through the crowd after Los Boricuas rushes the ring.

We hear from The Rock, who says that he is bringing the rest of The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) with him when he beats the opposition at No Way Out. Faarooq says there is always a way out for the nation, and they have made a way out of too many place to count. He reminds Ahmed Johnson that he could not cut it as a member of The Nation because he was always nursing something. Faarooq then says The Nation has always beaten The Disciples of Apocalypse (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball) and that No Way Out will be no different. D'Lo Brown says D.O.A. has only been a team for "all of ten minutes" while The Nation have been a team their whole lives, and Kama Mustafa says The Nation will win by any means necessary.

Chainz beats Jeff Jarrett by disqualification after The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) break up a pinfall. Chainz fights them off and body slams Jim Cornette, but gets whacked with a tennis racket from behind by Barry Windham. Jarrett has the figure four leg lock on Chainz when Skull and 8-Ball run into the ring and clean house. Jeff Jarrett retains the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship.
