Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for March 21, 1998

The Honky Tonk Man is special guest ring announcer and special guest commentator for the next match.

Taka Michinoku beats The Fallen Angel (who will be known in a few years from now as Christopher Daniels, who will go one to be one of the most famous wrestlers in Ring of Honor history).

The WWF Legend Series - "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Andre the Giant, "Classy" Freddy Blassie, "Captain" Lou Albano - is now available at Toys 'R Us from Jakks Pacific!

The New Midnight Express ("Bombastic" Bob Holly and "Bodacious" Bart Gunn) beat The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), then Ricky Morton attacks Bob Holly after the match. The New Midnight Express get the upper hand along with Jim Cornette, but they are soon chased out of the ring by The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh). Afterwards, The Headbangers and The Rock 'n Roll Express briefly stare down, then The Rock 'n Roll Express - having no problems with The Headbangers - leave the ring.

We hear from "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, who says that he beat Owen Hart to take back the WWF European Championship before warning Owen Hart to stay away from WrestleMania if he is smart, or else he will send Owen packing back to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in a wheelchair. We then hear from Owen, who says that he has seen the video footage and that he should have known better after Chyna hit him with a baseball bat. He also says that even though Triple H called him a gutless coward, he at least showed up for the fight even though he was in no condition for it. He plans to get revenge - and the European title back - at WrestleMania whether his ankle is 100% or not. It is then announced that Sgt. Slaughter will be handcuffed to Chyna at ringside at WrestleMania next Sunday.

The WrestleMania Millennium Moment is Willie Nelson singing "America the Beautiful" at WrestleMania 7.

Barry Windham beats "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman by disqualification after Blackjack Bradshaw runs in and attacks Windham. Blackman then chases Jim Cornette to the back after he realizes that Cornette slipped him a foreign object use when the referee was not looking in order to knock him out.

The D-Generation X hat and T-shirt combo is now available for $25 plus $6 shipping and handling seperately or $39.99 for both plus $9 shipping and handling!

WrestleMania 14 is one week away!

Savio Vega vs. Jose Estrada Jr. ends in a double-disqualification after the match turns into a brawl and Miguel Perez and Jesus Castillo try to separate both men.

Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust and Luna Vachon. Goldust shows up wearing a veil over his face, and Luna demands Goldust take his hat - and the veil off. The hat is removed, and it is revealed that Goldust is wearing a blonde wig as well as black permanent marker all over his face. Luna says that at WrestleMania, she will give Sable the lesson of her life, as all her life, she has been passed over by "blonde bimbos with boob jobs like [Sable]," and that for Sable, it has been fine cars, fine wine and fine people. Luna goes on to say that Sable turns her nose on people like her, and makes it clear she hates Sable. Goldust then says that if "Marvelous" Marc Mero thinks it is over between the two of them, he will get him. Luna then tells Sable to enjoy her cover girl while she still can, for at WrestleMania 14, she will need a bag to cover her face when she rearranges it like a jigsaw people and put half of the pieces in the wrong places before eating the other half of the pieces for lunch.
