Off the ropes Brian catches him and then nails an eniguri. Its weird here since McMahon wants to play ECW and Candido as the heels in this , yet the fans clearly have no clue what a USWA is in the area of New York their at. Brian stays in control with laughing like a wild man and big back body drop. Then as Chris rallies back , he delivers a spinning neck breaker from ropes as he yells to Paul E. for approval.
Candido delivers a leg drop from 2nd rope as he gets a 2 count. Heyman sells ECW and its athletes plus PPV. As Candido delivers a big huricanrana off the top turnbuckle on Brian , Jim Ross pushes Paul Heyman to shoot. In fact he tells Paul how he scouted this guy from USWA so finally Paul E. decides to go full IN. He brings up what a disgrace Lawler is in Memphis and USWA and that Christopher is his son who he never claims there or here. This brings out Lawler mad as the match breaks down as Jerry bails out his son. RVD comes in as all 3 beat down on Candido.
Dreamer makes the save as the heels bail out quick as Heyman joins in and stops the 2 from going after them up the ramp. Making them calm down as Dreamer pulls out his ticket for tonights show. Uh oh , looks like we may see them later.
Backstage we see Ahmed Johnson reflecting on things. Here he claims that there was something Paul Bearer said how we can do things the easy way or the hard way. For the sake of everyone , he will do it the easy way tonight. After commercial we see replays of the ECW deal and learn yep , Dreamer foreshadowed whats ahead by his ticket. Lawler and RVD will be teaming up tonight.
McMahon & Ross promote the shows and cards from Shotgun Saturday Night to WWF RAW . They bring up the calendar that Sunny & Sable shot. We see clips of Shotgun Saturday Night and the hero reception the Hart's got in Canada. Bret even cut a promo claiming its an honor to be in Canada. Backstage Jim Neidhart claims he doesn't like being handcuffed like some common criminal and tonight he's gonna show Goldust ...crime pays...baby !
Jim comes out for his match as McMahon and Jim Ross describes the claims of Hart family over discrimination in America. Jim Ross claims they believe in 1st amendment and no one should sensor the fans signs. We see what happened last week between Marlena and Bulldog where he tried beating up Goldust. Then how he was threatening o use the chair possibly on her.
Anvil starts off in control and Goldust off the ropes seemingly hits a flying shoulder block but Jim seems off as he wobbles and doesn't go down. Dustin nails a good uppercut punch with more. Then delivers a standing type clothesline as Jim bounces off ropes. Seconds later we see the taunt spot in corner from Goldust. Later in a spot Jim Neidhart catches Goldust with a knee off the ropes to mid section. In control he screams GET UP as he kicks , stomps and chokes him.
In the ropes he chokes him and laughs. Off the turnbuckle reversal Goldust delivers a clothesline as Neidhart slowly comes down. Boos hit as we see Bulldog come down to ring. He starts stalking Marlena and she goes to slap him. He grabs her arm and is seemingly threatening her which has Dustin climb out and deliver a shot to him. This allows Neidhart to regain himself and both heels double team him outside.
Back in ring later off the ropes , Dustin does his trademark , drop down punch spot to the bent guy. This time ...shockingly he pins Neidhart with it ! Even Bulldog is stunned as he crawls in to check on him. An angry Neidhart with Bulldog leaves. Then we get Austin claiming he finally has Pillman right where he wants him , then he can get rest of the Hart Foundation too ! Plus if Ken Shamrock wants he too can get it too , cause thats the Bottom Line cause Stone Cold Said So !
Hour #2 begins with more pyro as Vince welcomes us to the warone. It appears Pillman vs Austin will be kicking the 2nd hour off against Austin. Jim Ross brings up the former history of the Hollywood Blondes and Austin/Pillman being a team. The WWF officials make the Hart Foundation all get cuffed to ring railings. Jim Ross claims Austin has to be licking his chops to get this now. And we see a nice big smile from Stone Cold as he sees everyone all his prey. He then goes to each one and trash talks em and flips em off !
In ring it starts quick as Austin punches down Pillman quick and delivers an atomic drop ! Brian ducks outta the ring as Steve chases and comically he takes a shot at hitting Bulldog for fun. Then Pillman catches him back in ring. Jim Ross brings up how tough Pillman was as a NFL player who was considered too small. At this moment Steve catches him and throws him chest 1st at top rope !
Owen tries to break the cuffs as Pillman begs off from Austin in corner and then extends his hand to shake. On his knees he extends the hand to say he's sorry. Austin smiles and shakes then starts stomping and kicking at him. He outta the turnbuckle nails a lariat ! In a spot later Brian gets some offense and tries a move off the top rope and gets crotches by Austin on ropes in a super plex type move !
He then outside seconds later beats down Bulldog and rams him face 1st into ring post ! Brian charges with a chair and eats it to the face as Steve blocks. This allows Austin to go target Neidhart and Owen next as he starts at each one. Pillman has a cord and catches him to choke with. Brian's nose is shown and it appears he either got a cut on the nose or its broken from the chair catching his face !
He stays on Austin as he keeps choking him down with cord. During commercial Pillman threw him into the ring steps as Jim moves. J.R claims its likely a broken nose for him and that its not gonna bother Loose Cannon as its another day at the office as he stays in control. Austin kicks out at a near fall , and goes to corner. This lures Brian in who gets hit with a low blow by him. Allowing Stone Cold a bit of control.
Pillman's nose is a bloody gory mess right now as he locks on a sleeper. Its bleeding so bad , Brian's teeth are bloody. Stone Cold tries to rally and gets locked in a sleeper again and chin drops Loose Cannon to break free. Then seconds later Brian starts messing around and mocking Austin by throwing him around. It pisses Stone Cold off who rallies back with punches and in corner starts a stomping a mudhole in him , walking it dry ! The referee gets in his face...KICK ..WHAM STUNNER for that !
Fans explode at seconds later Austin and Pillman collide in a slight botch , Brian thinking quick drops down and delivers a low blow. Brian then loads up a set of brass knucks. He then hammers Austin with a punch as he covers for the pin but ...Austin kicks out which stuns Pillman ! He argues in corner with referee. While this happens the referee Austin laid out for arguing with him , well Owen picked his pocket and got the key. Soon he frees everyone as Stone Cold can't hold off the numbers game.
All of them start a beat down as suddenly we see Mankind , Goldust and Shamrock make the save. Chasing off the Hart Foundation as Shamrock is left in ring with Austin. This has Steve stalk him and this time Ken's ready for him and blocks , into a belly to belly suplex. A weakened Austin tries to attack but Ken's ready as they roll on mat some. Finally the LOD hit the ring to pull em apart with Goldust there as well.
Finally Dustin gets on the mic and rips into both , saying week in and week out this is what happens Steve. He is doing exactly what they want him to do. Goldust brings up the challenge of the 5 of the best the WWF has to offer. Standing in that ring he believes they are that 5. They will come to Calgary and kick their asses. Cause Stone Cold said so. Austin grabs the mic and claims his body feels like crap right now , but since Gorilla Monsoon will force partners on him ..fine. He will step into ring with them in Calgary but once its over they aren't gonna be friends , they aren't gonna be drinking beers together ...no it will go back to this...DOUBLE BIRD salute as he leaves. He throws mic at Animal .
A sore battered Austin limps off as Hawk has to keep an angry Shamrock at bay. Which is wild considering this was the Road Warriors at one point being voice of reason here. Then we go into a nice ad for Austin's 1st VHS tape. (which isn't on WWE Network)
Backstage we see the Hart Foundation and Brian Pillman's face as the blood has stopped (likely during break he was treated) . We get a replay of what happened earlier from every spot in the match from brass knucks to Shamrock nailing belly to belly. Owen claims yeah mystery is over , they know who the scum is and who to destroy come Stampede. Pillman claims they don't discriminate , they are an equal opportunity destroyer and the battle lines have been drawn in blood , as he points at his face. Get ready to step into COMBAT ZONE STRAIGHT INTO HELL !! Vince cuts this off as Pillman goes insane.
Sable comes out as guest ring announcer for this , plus plug the WWF RAW is War shirt. Sable gets on mic and introduces Bobby Fulton. Clips are shown last week of Marc Mero who drags his wife backstage. But Jim Ross claims it was because they were running late for something even as the online fans noticed it. Johnny him is Tommy Rogers. Its basically the old school team The Fantastics. Ok ...why didn't they come out together ? Is this some rights issues possibly with name and WCW at the time ?
