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.

Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for June 28, 1997
In memory of Stan "The Man" Stasiak, 1937-1997.
Owen Hart beats Goldust. During the match, Brian Pillman is worked up by the "Pillman sucks" signs and chants, and shortly afterwards, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up and watches the match from ringside. The match ends when Bret distracts Goldust, allowing Owen to hit Goldust with a spinning heel kick to win the match. After the match, Bret says Goldust is the last one left after beating up the rest of The Hart Foundation's opponents for In Your House: Canadian Stampede, and says they might as well beat him up, too. After Owen takes the boots to Goldust, Bret puts Goldust in the Figure Four Leg Lock around the ring post before Owen tries to drape Goldust's head in the Canadian flag. Marlena takes the Canadian flag away from Owen as referees and officials try to break Bret's hold on Goldust. Bret event ually lets go and leaves with Owen.
The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush and an unknown tag team partner) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) in their in-ring debut. Before the match, we see Thrasher and Mosh give a body slam and a elbow drop to a reporter during a local newscast on WABC-TV. During the match, Brian Pillman threatens to beat up a fan seated behind him due to his "Pillman sucks" chants. Later on in the match, Pillman confronts the fan again. The fan leads a "Pillman sucks" chant again.
Vince McMahon interviews Mankind, who shows up in an "Austin 3:16" T-shirt. Mankind says comparing himself to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels is like comparing apples and applesauce, as he is the apple after it has been smashed. He says he and Shawn could pass as twins, as they both have long hair, Shawn has a belly button piercing where he has lint, they both have tattoos on their arms, and with the exception of him being the better kisser, they are exactly the same. As for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he says Austin sees him as nothing but a homicidal freak, which may be true, but he sees Austin as a sociopathic loser. In the end, they are both people who need people, and people who need people are the luckiest people of them all. He says that Austin is drowning in a sea of despair, and wants to be his life preserver. He says Austin is sinking in the quicksand of distrust, and asks to be his tree branch. He also says Austin is boiling in a stew of doubt, and asks to be his carrot. As for his match with Hunter Hearst Helmsley at In Your House: Canadian Stampede, he says he could say Helmsley cheated with the help of Chyna to win, and then outright says it. He says he is guilty of taking Helmsley too lightly the last time they faced off, and believes that either he is not as good as Helmsley or Helmsley is better than he expected him to be, and concludes the latter is true. He then says Helmsley wounded his pride by putting him in a Pedigree through a table to give him a taste of his own medicine, of which he did not like the taste of. This time, he has something for Helmsley to snack on for a while, as the two fingers of the Mandible Claw will make him sick. He tells Helmsley to think about it for a while, and to try to have a nice day.
The Triple Threat Match: coming soon to an arena near you!
"Double J" Jesse James beats The Brooklyn Brawler. Brian Pillman confronts the fan behind yet again at the start of the match. After the match, Pillman finally snaps and beats the fan up, stabbing him with a pencil ripping his shirt off and hitting him with a steel chair as referees and officials try to pull Pillman off of him. Pillman is seen being threatening towards Jim Ross and verbally abusive to the fans (he is seen telling one person to "suck me") as he is escorted to the back by officials.
Jim Ross apologizes for Brian Pillman's actions from earlier. He reports that the fan is receiving medical attention, and that Brian Pillman has been escorted from the arena by the police.
The Truth Commission (Recon, Tank, The Interrogator) beat Al Brown, Gene Miller and Terry Richards. Before the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Commandant, who says The Truth Commissioner have come to America to remind Ameria what a great country it once was before it turned that picture upside down and gave unlimited rights to everyone. He says they have come to remind everyone that nature has decreed that there will always be leaders and those who must be dominated, and that they will prove their superiority when they smash America's so-called athletes right before the people's very eyes.
