RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Mar. 17, 1997

DOK HENDRIKS INTERVIEWS...

DOK: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome along with Eric Bischoff . . . STING!

(Sting and Bischoff make their way up to the interview area. Sting is dressed in a black trenchcoat, and has his black and white face paint. Bischoff laughs and smiles to the crowd, and slaps Dok on the shoulder.)

DOK: Sting, we saw you last week on Raw sneaking up behind Double J during his match. Then, on Superstars this week, you snuck up on him again, and dropped him with a Reverse DDT after his match with Diesel. Why have you suddenly targeted Jeff Jarrett?

(Dok puts the microphone up to Sting, who says nothing, and glances over to Bischoff.)

ERIC: Dok, I'll do the talking, if you don't mind. Jeff Jarrett, let me remind you something. While you sit back in Nashville and moan about not getting any shots, Sting is here in the WWF and is not getting any shots. He's beaten Randy Savage. He's beaten THP to move ahead in the Tournament. Sting is on fire here in the WWF, and he too deserves a shot around here! If Jarrett thinks he's deserving, then Sting can simply eliminate him and move one step closer to a shot.

DOK: We heard Jarrett say on Superstars that he'd love to face Sting at WrestleMania. We also heard The Ultimate Warrior challenge Sting to a ladder/baseball bat match at the big show! Sting has two offers on his plate! What does he plan on doing?

ERIC: Ultimate Warrior, where are you coming from, big guy? You said that Sting wanted a fight with you? I never heard him say that! Sting doesn't need to prove that he's better than you, Warrior. Jarrett, on the other hand, is a new challenge to overcome. I can't speak for the Stinger here, so why don't you ask him this one, Dok.

(Dok turns to face Sting.)

DOK: Sting, how about it? Will you accept the challenge of Double J for WrestleMania?

(Sting looks at Dok, and simply nods his head yes one time in responce.)

DOK: Well, the challenge has been accepted! We'll see if that does indeed go down at WrestleMania at a later time! Any last comments . . . from either of you?

ERIC: Dok, just one quick thing. Vader, you're the next man in Sting's path to the IC title. You may be bigger and stronger, but the Stinger has got your number! Think of it this way, big man! You couldn't beat Savage . . . Sting did! And he'll beat YOU in Round 2!

(Sting and Bischoff walk away from the interview area, as Bischoff tries to slaps hands with a few people at ringside. They boo him... pulling their hands away from him.)

Then, suddenly... DOUBLE J flies through the curtains and launches himself on top of Sting! The fans cheer Double J on! Jarrett begins to pound Sting down... and from the back... Ric Flair comes out!

Jarrett turns off of Sting and goes at Flair... but shoves him back. Flair WHOOOOOS at him... then grabs Jarrett and pulls him away. Jarrett spins back around Flair... and DIVES on top of Sting again!!

The superstars hook it up, battling back behind the curtains!

Dok: WOW! Doesn't look like Jarrett can WAIT any longer! By week's end, we'll have confirmation from Titan Tower about the match... so check the WrestleMania WebSite!

MR.PERFECT PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

(Mr.Perfect is standing in the Raw-buttal area. His leg is still heavily bandaged up, but he looks ready.)

Perfect: Terry Taylor... I'm still waiting... PATIENTLY... for your answer. You're runnin' around the World Wrestling Federation, claiming that you have the better Perfect Plex? You're tryin' to plant your lips on Wild Chylde DiBiase, and hit women and managers with a piece of WCW tin called a championship belt? You're calling YOURSELF PERFECT? Accept the challenge Taylor. The Hitman is going to take care of Stone Cold... and I'm going to take care of YOU. PERFECT PLEX VS. PERFECT PLEX!

Perfect: Now, tonight! Razor Ramon. Bad Guy? You were wronged by the Empire, too. (Perfect taps at his injured leg.) You and I go way back. And you've been down quite a few paths since that time. But I'd be lying if I said I haven't as well. Razor, I'll have you in the ring tonight, and I'll see where your heart is heading. I think it's in the right place now. And I'll wish you all the luck in the world for this match tonight, if that's the case. And believe me... you'll need it! Because NOBODY BEATS MR.PERFECT! And I mean... NOBODY!

(Perfect looks at the camera directly... then turns... and walks off, limping on his leg.)
