RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Mar. 31, 1997

The Blackjacks
vs.
The Smoking Gunns

The Match:
After a brief commercial break, the camera comes back up into the middle of the ring where the two teams have already arrived! Bart Gunn and Justin Hawk Bradshaw are in their corners as Billy and Barry Windham circle each other in the ring.

The bell sounds! Barry hits an armdrag takedown, then stands up and stomps Billy in the face! JHB is tagged in and runs in full tilt! Billy stumbles up to his feet... and is CLOTHESLINED FROM BEHIND!!!

Bradshaw then starts punching and chopping at Billy Gunn... then makes a quick exchange to Barry again!

Windham enters and wraps on a modified sleeper hold! Billy fights it at first, but then finds himself getting 'rubber-legged'! Barry maintains the pressure, yanking Billy back to his corner... where he tags in Justin!

JR: Nice clean... and QUICK tags! The Blackjacks look tight!

This time, Bradshaw climbs up to the top rope! Barry backs Billy up to the opposite corner... and WHIPS him toward Justin. Justin dives off... Billy leaps up... and Gunn hits a DROP KICK!!! He does a tuck and roll and brings in his brother, Bart!! The fans cheer the exchange... but then a hush falls over the crowd...

On the entry walk a fog cloud appears, possibly heralding Demolition. Soon Demolition themselves step out of the cloud, they are wearing their leather chaps and vests, but their faces are visible. Both are painted. Axe sticks his tounge out at the camera.

Bart tries to ignore Demolition, but as he bounces off the ropes for an elbowdrop, he can't help but notice them! He drops the elbow... NOBODY HOME!!! Bradshaw gets up... Bart pops up, but eats a clothesline!

Bradshaw makes another swift tag to Windham. Barry stalks in at Bart.. who drops down... DROP TOE HOLD!! Gunn rises up... LEGDROP on Windham's back!! Feeling he wants to work on the back, Bart yanks up Barry and tries for a vertical suplex....

Bart hooks him up... but doesn't see Barry make the 'blind' tag to Justin! Bradshaw enters... AND SHOULDERBLOCKS Bart down to the canvas! Windham rolls out.

JR: Oh, I like this team! They've got great continuity!

Bradshaw sends Bart to the turnbuckle with a loud impact! Bart bounces three feet back away from the corner and drops to his knees. JHB looks to twist his head around in a head vice... but Bart grabs both of Justin's legs and tilts him off balance a bit. Bradshaw instead grabs Bart's dark hair... pulls him up... AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST TO THE MAT!!! Bart bounces back up, holding his jaw.

Bradshaw ignores the referee's warnings and shoves the large 500 pound referee aside. Pinnette looks mad... and issues him a warning. Bradshaw SLAMS Bart down onto the lower back... then yanks him up and drapes him across his shoulder in a classic backbreaker position.

Once again, the crowd betrays something else happening... ! This time... HARLEM HEAT is coming down through the crowd! They are cursing and giving obscene gestures to the fans, and carving a path through to ringside. They leap over the barricade and start running around the ring like they were crazy! They have ball bats and are slamming them into the ringposts as they run....

Bradshaw slams the Gunn down to the mat and covers for the cover. John Pinnette drops down... 1... 2... kickout! Stevie Ray jumps up onto the apron and calls for the referee. Pinnette yells at him to get down... but stays with the action...

Justin tags in Barry who charges in and comes at Bart. Bart slams a fist in Barry's chops that knocks him down! Bart falls back towards his corner... looking for the tag! He reaches out...

Stevie Ray continues to yell at Pinnette. Pinnette goes over to him.. and the two start getting into an arguement. The ref wants the Heat OUT OF THERE! Stevie holds his attention. Demolition watches carefully at the top of the aisle.

Bart MAKES THE TAG TO BILLY!! The fans cheer!!! Billy climbs up to the top rope and jumps off at Barry.... SIDEWINDER LEGDROP!!!! BILLY COVERS... BUT THERE'S NO REFEREE!!!!

Booker rolls in AND SLAMS HIS BAT ON BILLY'S HEAD!!! AND AGAIN!!! Bart comes blasting into the ring and runs at Booker with a clothesline! Booker ducks underneath!!!

The referee is about to turn about to see what's happening...
