Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for July 5, 1997

Jim Cornette replaces the now-fired Brian Pillman on commentary after last week's incident.

The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Brian Pillman) is interviewed by Vince McMahon in the ring. Bret says The Hart Foundation will get the respect that they deserve, and that the American wrestling fans have had the opportunity for the longest time to cheer for their scum heroes like Goldust, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, but when they come across the border, it will be a different story as they are five different version of Donovan Bailey and they will go into the ring and pound them all into dirt. Bret says that Bulldog is the strongest man in the WWF, that Pillman has no limit, that The Anvil is man who still stick around to the end, and that Owen is the best technical wrestler in the WWF. Together, they are the greatest combined force in the WWF, and now that he is no longer injured, Bret will not rest until The Hart Foundation rules the World Wrestling Federation whether the fans like it or not. Bret says that when you get into Canada, he is still every bit the hero he ever was and he will get the respect that he deserves. Pillman says Austin will get no respect as he is the perfect example of what America has become, as he has no class, integrity or intestinal fortitude that the Foundation has. Bulldog says that the World Wrestling Federation will find out who the real tag team champions are, and says the tag team titles will go back around his and Owen's waists. Owen says they are not afraid of Goldust and that they don't have to be gender-benders, wear facepaint, curse like sailors or be "ultimate fighting goofballs" to destroy their opponents. The Anvil says they are a lot of questions, but The Hart Foundation will answer them in Canada.

The Truth Commission (Recon, Sniper, The Interrogator) beats Kevin Flynn, Chris Steel and Adam O'Brien.

We see footage from last Saturday's public workout at Muscle Bearch in Anaheim, California, featuring Chyna, Sunny, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and others. At that day's show in Anaheim, Marela, Sunny, Sable and an uncooperative Chyna - who body slams Honky Tonk Man - take part in a swimsuit contest, which Sable wins. When Honky Tonk Man asks for Sable a kiss on the lips, however, he gets a slap in the face instead.

Savio Vega beats Flash Funk. After the match, Los Boricuas (Savio Vega, Miguel Perez, Jesus Castillo, Jose Estrada Jr.) get in the ring and gang up on Flash Funk, but The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush, Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball) show up. After Flash Funk is tossed out of the ring, The Disciples of Apocalypse get in the ring, and both groups brawl. Referees and officials rush in to stop the brawl, and local law enforcement have to get into the ring to restore order.

Scott Putski beats Rod Bell. During the match, Jim Ross apologizes on behalf of the WWF for the derogatory comments made about Polish-American on last week's Raw.

The New Blackjacks (blackjack Bradshaw and Blackjack Windham) beat Los Boricuas (Jesus Castillo and Miguel Perez) by disqualification after Savio Vega and Jose Estrada Jr. interfere. Referees have to step in and restore order as Los Boricuas (Savio, Miguel, Jesus, Jose) attack The New Blackjacks.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for October 9, 1993

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Damien Demento and Rock Werner.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart says hearing that "The King" Jerry Lawler is the undisputed king of the WWF makes him sick, especially when he had him in the Sharpshooter for two-and-a-half minutes and came just short of ending his career. He can make one promise right now: if he can make a promise right now, it will be that if he gets in the ring with Lawler again, it will be the end of him.

Adam Bomb beats Mitch Bishop.

Lex Luger is on the cover on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday, and inside is an article on Adam Bomb.

Joe Fowler advertises a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th with a triple main event. Lex Luger will take on Ludvig Borga, Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The King" Jerry Lawler will square off in a grudge match, Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon will team up against Irwin R. Schyster and Diesel, Marty Jannetty will be taking on "The Model" Rick Martel, and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). Fowler then interviews Lex Luger and Ludvig Borga for Face To Face. Despite his anti-American rhetoric, Lex Luger admit that Ludvig Borga has racked up quite the record, but he is now at the top of the World Wrestling Federation, where it doesn't get any keener or stiffer. He is glad to be the first one in line to give him a big U.S.A. welcome to the World Wrestling Federation and show him what competition is all about. Ludvig says he will give him a European farewell for his career, because if this is the top of the ladder, then he is not impressed with the WWF, Luger or America. When he pins him, he will stay down.

We see highlights of last week's Intercontinental Championship battle royal from Raw.

Mr. Perfect beats Red Tyler (whose tights are a tad small and make for a few posterior jokes on commentary).

Boni Blackstone interviews Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon. Bam Bam says there was nothing funny about last week, and says "The King" Jerry Lawler was right was about Doink. He let the confetti bucket prank slide the first two times, but the third time, he dumped water on Luna's head. He says that hearing Doink's name drives him crazy as Luna is in a frenzy. Bam Bam says he will make him pay for his pranks and humiliating him and Luna, and when he gets done with him, Doink will wish he was back in the circus on top of a tightrope.

Grudges, Gripes and Grunts is now available on Coliseum Home Video. In the video, Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon take a cruise on a yacht.

Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn), now accompanied by Harvey Wippleman, beat Jerry Fox and Virgil.

The Undertaker beats Rod Bell. It is announced that The Undertaker is on the cover of Superstars VIII, on newsstands now. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a picture of Yokozuna with the Magistrator.

Mr. Nanny, starring Hulk Hogan, premiered in theaters this weekend.

WWF Royal Rumble...coming soon to Genesis!

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Steve Nixon and Tony Bithera.

Joe Fowler re-advertises the show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th. He then interviews The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre, with Johnny Polo) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) for Face To Face. Polo says the Smoking Gunns are rugged, but The Quebecers do not think much of them. Bart Gunn says The Quebecers do a lot of talking, but they do their talking in the ring, and Billy Gunn tells them that that they will become the tag team champs on the first shot just like The Quebecers did. Polo says The Gunns are climbing the ladder, while they are the top of the ladder and they will stay there after October 29th.

Next week: Two of the main events for Survivor Series are revealed! The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)! The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Pat Tanaka! Ludvig Borga! Highlights from the Intercontinental Championship match on next Monday's Raw!

"The Model" Rick Martel says that he will be wrestling Razor Ramon for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, and he will be the winner because when it comes to him and Razor in the ring, Razor does not cut it. Razor Ramon says this Monday night, The Bad Guy meets The Model for the Intercontinental Championship, and he tells Martel that he is leaving with all the gold.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Chad Miller and Tom Bennett. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws suspenders on Scott Stiener and a Doink The Clown face on Rick Steiner with the Magistrator.

It is reported that Shawn Michaels has been suspended and stripped of the WWF Intercontinental Championship for failing to appear for a number of Intercontinental Championship defenses and fulfilling contractual obligations as per the office of WWF President Jack Tunney. (In reality, Shawn Michaels has been suspended for allegedly testing positive for steroids.) This Monday night on Raw, there will be a 20-man over the top rope battle royal where the final two will meet the following Monday night in a singles match to determine the new Intercontinental Champion. In the match is Mr. Perfect, The 1-2-3 Kid, Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, Bastion Booger, Bob Backlund, Diesel, Giant Gonzales, Irwin R.

Joe Fowler advertises a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th with a triple main event. Lex Luger will take on Ludvig Borga, Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The King" Jerry Lawler will square off in a grudge match, and Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon will team up against Irwin R. Schyster and Diesel. Fowler then interviews Bret and Lawler for Face To Face. Bret says he would like to know Lawler has beaten to call himself a king, especially after he was stretchered out of SummerSlam when he nearly snapped him in half. He hates his guts, and looks forward to a rematch and to obliterating Lawler at the Nassau Coliseum. Lawler says he is not scared, and if hate was written on every grain of sand on the Sahara enough, it wouldn't be enough to express the hate he has for Bret and his family. He tells Bret to bring the family down to the Nassau Coliseum so they can see who the one and only undisputed king of the World Wrestling Federation is.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says it is a well-known fact that the state of Michigan has a big problem with tax evaders, and he says tax evaders. He tells the fans to have a receipt for every deduction they are claiming, or else they will be going to jail, too.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Gary Jackson.

The Undertaker tells you that if you are using drugs, you are digging your own grave. There is no hope with dope.

Bam Bam Bigelow Rod Bell.

Doink shows up with two buckets as Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon make their way to the back. Doink puts one bucket down and threatens to douse Bam Bam with water, but the bucket is actually full of confetti. Bam Bam Bigelow gets angry and threatens to rip his head off. Doink picks the other one up, but Luna grabs Doink and yells at him. Doink dumps the other bucket, which is full of water, on Luna, then runs into the ring. Bam Bam comes back, and he and Luna run into the ring. Doink slips out and trips Bam Bam as soon as he turns his back. Bam Bam then chases Doink all over the ring. Doink goes underneath the ring as Doink's potential opponent checks on Luna, and Bam Bam Bigelow crawls underneath the ring, then notices what is going on in the ring and beats the man up. Doink is then noticed tying a wire between two guardrails before grabbing a broom out from underneath the ring and hitting him with it. Bam Bam chases after Doink only to trip on the wire.

Ludvig Borga says Luger lost, and says that America is crumbling and that he sees Luger as the backbone of America. At Nassau Coliseum, he will break his back. Luger says that freedom of speech is what America is found on, and that it is also founded on competition. He says the fans will welcome that competition at Nassau Coliseum, and he will too when he shows him what America is all about.
