RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Mar. 10, 1997
JIM ROSS INTERVIEWS... J.J.DILLON
Jim Ross: Ladies and Gentlemen, will you please welcome my guest at this time . . . the manager of the nWo, Mr. JJ Dillon!
(The nWo theme plays through the arena for the first time in over a month, as Dillon walks down to the ring to a loud round of boos from the fans.)
Ross: Thank you for joining me this week, Mr. Dillon.
Dillon: It's my pleasure, Ross.
Ross: Now we haven't heard from yourself or the nWo for some time now, stemming back to the injuries to Vader and Double J at the Royal Rumble. Vader has stated that he was unhappy with the nWo for allowing he and Jarrett to be hurt, and now he has taken on Jim Cornette as his manager. Jarrett has been unusually quiet about the nWo, stating last week that we'd all find out tonight just where the nWo stands. Well, tell us, Mr. Dillon, where DOES the nWo stand?
Dillon: JR, the nWo has indeed been quiet as of late. With our two main players on the shelf, we didn't feel like tarnishing our image with losses. No offense to the other members, but Lex Luger couldn't do anything without the backing of the nWo, and now he's gone. The 123 Kid hasn't been able to do anything without the nWo. And lets face it, without the nWo, Jeff Jarrett has done nothing in the WWF.
(The crowd murmors as Dillon seemingly badmouths his own men.)
Dillon: I decided that it would be better to wait until everyone was back to 100%, and that time is now. It is once again . . . nWo time!
Ross: What about the comments of Vader, that the nWo is at fault for the injuries suffered by Vader and Jarrett? Vader seems upset that you, The Outsider, and the other membes were not there to watch their backs.
Dillon: Well, Vader can say whatever he wants to. When Jarrett went to the ring at the Royal Rumble, he was not acting under nWo orders. He went down by his own free will, and he paid for it. The same with Vader. No one told him to save Jarrett, but he did and he paid for it, as well.
(Suddenly, Jim Cornette and Vader come out of the curtain and approach the ring. The fans voices raise up in anticipation...)
Dillon: It wasn't the nWo's responsibility to try and help them at the Rumble. If they had done like the other members, they would have been sitting in the back resting up for their matches.
(Cornette and Vader climb into the ring. Cornette seems to be upset.)
Ross: Well, it seems as we have some guests this week. Mr. Cornette, do you have something to say?
Cornette: You'd better believe I do, JR! What are you doing out here, talking about how it wasn't your responsibility to help out Vader at the Royal Rumble? He was one of your main players! He's got a WWF title match later on in the night, and you let him get beat on? How big of an idiot are you?
Dillon: You might want to watch your mouth, Jim. If you and Vader wish to remain in good standings with the nWo, then -
(Cornette steps up and stands face to face with Dillon.)
Cornette: Good standings?!? Vader has me now! He doesn't need your or the nWo for anything! You'd better watch YOUR mouth!
Dillon: The fact is that Vader is STILL a part of the nWo, whether you like it or not, Cornette, and don't you tell me what I'd better do!
(Dillon reaches out and shoves Cornette backwards! The fans cheer!)
Ross: Hey, come on, now!
(Cornette gets his balance and stares back at Dillon!)
Cornette: You no good little . . .
Cornette rears back and shoves Dillon! Dillon gets his composure back . . . chuckles a bit . . . AND SLAPS CORNETTE IN THE FACE!! The Philadelphia fans cheer louder! Vader lets out a growl and moves right into Dillon's face! Vader shouts at Dillon,backing him up with shoves and pokes! The crowd watches, stunned! Dillon tries to argue back, but Vader is IRATE!
Suddenly, the crowd looks to the entrance way as Double J runs down the aisle, wearing an nWo t-shirt! Jarrett leaps into the ring and gets between Vader and Dillon.
Jarrett: Hey, hey, hey, c'mon now! What are you guys doing, fighting like this? We got things we got to start getting together!
Vader reaches out past Jarrett and shoves Dillon back again! Jarrett pulls Vader aside and they back into a corner, as Jarrett tries to calm Vader down! Jarrett keeps talking with Vader, and Vader begins to nod his head slowly. Jarrett slaps him on the shoulder and calls Dillon over.
Jarrett: Now, see, just let cooler heads prevail and everything will be all right! Let's all shake hands and forget this ever happened. C'mon, shake hands!
Vader slowly sticks out his hand, which Dillon shakes. Double J nods happily, and laughs out to the crowd. Cornette looks to Vader, apparently confused. Vader puts his hand up to Cornette, as if to tell him to wait.
Jarrett: See, now look what happens when you calm down and think about things! Put 'er there, JJ!
Jarrett sticks out his hand to Dillon, which Dillon shakes. Dillon smiles and looks out to the crowd . . . AND JARRETT PULLS HIM INTO THE BLACKJACK!! The fans GO NUTS! Some are booing... some are cheering... and ALL are on their feet! Jarrett stands over Dillon, who seems to be out! Double J looks down at Dillon, as Cornette starts laughing and smiling! Vader turns back to the corner . . . AND STARTS CLIMBING UP!
Jarrett grabs Dillon and pulls him out a few feet from the corner!! Vader makes it up to the top . . . AND HITS THE VADER BOMB!! DILLON IS HURT!! Dillon holds his chest in pain, as Vader continues to growl and Jarrett and Cornette embrace! Vader grabs Jarrett and pulls him into the middle of the ring! The crowd watches on! Vader reaches out and grabs Jarrett's shirt . . . AND RIPS IT RIGHT OFF OF HIM! The nWo shirt falls to the mat in pieces!
Jarrett: Dillon! I'm nothing without you and the nWo? Well, pal, here's your chance to prove the theory . . . BECAUSE WE QUIT! I promised everybody that someone would go off on a stretcher this week! Now get one down here and get him outta here!
Jarrett climbs out of the ring, rasing his arms to the crowd and laughing. Vader follows, as Cornette gets a few kicks in on the fallen Dillon! The trio walks down the aisle and to the dressing rooms, as a stretcher is rolled past them.
The camera pans around the arena... the fans, now realizing what has happened... are shocked! Some nWo signs are taken down, as Dillon is carted out.
