Monday Night Raw
Date: August 4, 1997
Location: Stabler Arena, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 4,665
Commentators: Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, Vince McMahon
Opening sequence.
Bret sees the hypocrisy in the Patriot, who talks about morals and then comes out with Michaels and Austin, so Patriot means nothing to him. Someone who does mean something to him though is the British Bulldog, who fought valiantly against Ken Shamrock, who will never receive another European Title shot. As for Brian Pillman, he has way too much class to wear a dress. Finally, as for Owen, who lost the title despite Austin barely being able to move, it was another miscarriage of justice.
Fans at Summerslam last night said Undertaker was robbed by Shawn.
Kama Mustafa vs. Ken Shamrock
Brakus is still coming.
Taka Michinoku vs. Brian Christopher
Brian catapults Taka to the floor like a sore loser.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Vader
The Sultan vs. The Patriot
Hour #2 opening sequence.
Ahmed Johnson vs. Chainz
Godwinns vs. Headbangers
Brian Pillman vs. Bob Holly
Dude Love vs. Owen Hart
Bret is on commentary. Owen sends Dude into the buckle to start but gets caught in something like a bulldog. The enziguri gets Owen out of trouble as we see Austin watching in the back. Things slow down as Dude grabs an armbar of all things before an elbow to the back of the head gets two. Vince fills in time on a chinlock by asking why Lawler and Bret are so friendly all of a sudden.
The Dudettes mob Dude to end the show.
