RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Mar. 24, 1997

Vertigo
w/the Dream
vs.
Roxanne

The Match:
Vertigo is introduced first. She walks calmly to the ring with the Dream in tow. The Dream hisses and growls at the fans and acts crazy as Vertigo simply carries her umbrella down and gets to ringside. When she does...

The death bell sounds... and the lights go out for a few moments. When they come back up... at ringside, there is a black wreath with a card on it. Vertigo carefully pulls the card out and opens it. It says...

Condolences on the Death of the Dream. May She Rest In Peace.

Vertigo calmly tears the card up and drops it down. But the Dream rushes at the wreath and smashes it into little bits and pieces with double axehandles! She's a WILD woman! Screaming at the damaged wreath, before stalking over into Vertigo's corner.

AC/DC's 'For Those About to Rock' starts to play! The fans erupt into cheers and when the music kicks in... Roxanne bursts through the curtains! She stands at the top of the aisle and holds up her arms to the fans, smiling at them. But the fans cheerin changes a bit..... Roxanne turns around...

WOMANKIND! Womankind swings a chair at Roxanne... who ducks beneath it! Roxanne scoops up Womankind and throws her back! Womankind dives at her again, swinging the chair! Roxanne blocks it with her arm, then scoops up Womankind... and SLAMS her down on the mat! Womankind is lifted up... and whipped through the curtains, disappearing. Roxanne looks to the fans and nods her head. She then looks at the camera...

Roxanne: 20,000 fans... watching MY back!

Roxanne slaps their hands, trying to get to each and every one before getting into the ring where Vertigo awaits. At that point, the Road Warriors come down the aisle. They look serious and determined. They take up a position where the runway meets ringside. They look around for trouble.

Roxanne; (shrugs) 20,000 and TWO! (smiles)

The match begins. Roxanne opens with multiple knee lifts into Vertigo, that pull her up from the canvas. Roxanne prepares to follow up... but is distracted by... SQUEALS!!! IT'S WOMANKIND OVER THE P/A! Roxanne looks around... and Vertigo YANKS on her hair! Vertigo pulls her toward her...PUNCH TO THE FACE!

Roxanne drops down and Vertigo starts stomping on the Rock-a-holic! Roxanne powers up to her feet with the fans cheering her on. She reaches a vertical base and uncorks a European Uppercut on Vertigo!

King: I'm impressed with Roxanne! What's her finisher, the Headbanger? That's like a frankensteiner, right? You know, if she needs someone to practice that hold on, I'm available on most weekdays and...

Pillman: EASY, King! We're still in the primetime slot!

Vertigo fires back as Womankind interupts with more screaching squeals from over the P/A. Vertigo starts choking at Roxanne, who struggles to free herself and does! Roxanne grabs a hold of Vertigo... picks her up... and SLAMS HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!

Roxanne lifts a kick up into Vertigo... then clotheslines her in the corner! Vertigo stumbles out... INTO A GORILLA PRESS SLAM!!! Vertigo lies on the mat for a moment and begins to stir. Roxanne drops down... hooks Vertigo's left arm with her legs... and her right arm with her arms... and rolls her back for the crucifix pin... the referee drops down...

1... kickout! Roxanne flips around and puts the head scissors on Vertigo. Womankind's squeals continue over the arena... but Roxanne blocks them out this time.

King: Publican, is there any truth to the rumor that there will be a special referee for the Exorcism Match? From what I hear, it's gonna be Jim Bakker! hahahaha!

Publican: There is? Well, I sure hope it's not Bakker!

Roxanne releases the head scissors and pulls Vertigo up... GUT WRENCH SUPLEX!!! Roxanne kips up and looks out at the fans. They cheer her on! She gives them thumbs up... then sets up Vertigo. She front face locks her.... SNAP SUPLEX!!!

Roxanne bounces back off the ropes... Vertigo stumbles up to her feet... Roxanne dives at her... RUNNING FOREARM!!! Vertigo is smashed into the canvas. Roxanne keeps running and bounces off the other side. She comes back... flips over... SHOULDER ROLL, landing back-first on top of Vertigo!

Roxanne then whips Vertigo into the turnbuckles and charges in at her... AVALANCHE SPLASH IN THE CORNER!!! Vertigo drops down face first! Roxanne then EARTHQUAKE splashes her!!!! The fans are going crazy! Womankind continues to squeal! The Dream runs around ringside, hissing in at Roxanne!

Roxanne throws Vertigo to the ropes... THE HEADBANGER!!!! She covers... 1... 2... 3...!!!!

Winner, by pinfall: Roxanne

Roxanne kips up to her feet, and holds her hand up in victory. She then hears the wails and squeals of Womankind over the P/A. Roxanne looks around, as if daring Womankind to show up... the squeals continue... but Roxanne's music then drowns them out.

Roxanne: WOMANKIND! I'M COMIN' FOR YOU!!! WRESTLEMANIA!!!!!!!!!!

Roxanne flips out of the ring and greets her ecstatic fans! She passes by the Road Warriors and gives them each a high-five before continuing around the ring to celebrate with her fans.

The Road Warrior's grab the mic at ringside....
