RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Mar. 31, 1997


Badd Boy Derrick Stardom
w/Heart Attack
vs.
Chaotic Corey Major
w/Bret Hart

The Match:
'Cult of Personality' begins to play! It is a strange, mixed reaction that Stardom receives, but the fans are very vocal! Stardom comes out, holding Heart Attack's hand, but not looking 'mushy' in the least bit. He climbs up on the apron. Heart Attack gets into the ring. Stardom just turns out to the fans and holds his arms up, looking out at them, provoking reactions from them.

One of the many TRIPWIRE songs begins to play! Corey Major comes out alongside Bret Hart. Corey looks VERY ready for this match. He's determined and focused, looking straight ahead at only Derrick. He seems to have even forgotten to slap the fans hands.

Then... the HEAT ATTACK AGAIN! Stevie, with a baseball bat, tees off with it to the back of Corey's head!!! Booker dives out and nails him as he goes down with brass knuckles! The Hitman moves to save Major... but gets a bat swung at him!

Bret ducks the bat... but is caught with the brass knuckles from Booker! Bret is knocked back. Booker turns and leaps on top of Corey, swinging wildly with the brass knuckles and lighting up the young wrestler!

Bret is getting nailed with the bat! Jim Neidhart runs in like a raging bull!!!! He CLOTHESLINES Stevie off of Bret! Bret rolls aside, holding his back and head from the bat's impact.

Booker, unaware of the Anvil, continues to bash Corey, who is broken open and is a bloody mess! The Anvil sees that Bret is okay... then turns and sees Booker! He AXEHANDLES Booker in the back of the head then tosses him over on top of Stevie!

In the ring, Heart Attack has turned away, unable to watch. Derrick is leaning on the top strand watching... debating....

Bret gets up on his own power... but Corey needs the Anvil's help. He looks bloodied and hurt. But he insists on going to the ring. Stardom sees this and his brow furrows.

The Heat get up and walk out, flipping off the fans and cursing.

The Hart Foundation brings the barely concious Corey into the ring where Stardom is at. Stardom motions for the microphone. He walks right up to Corey in the middle of the ring.

Stardom: You want to know what Heart Attack... and Roxanne... sees in ME? THIS... is what they see in me!

Derrick reaches out and grabs Corey by the arm... and RAISES it over his head. Stardom doesn't look happy. Corey looks confused.

Stardom: You win. Punk.

Derrick takes Heart Attack by the hand and they walk out. Corey looks around, he looks dazed... confused. As Stardom and Heart Attack disappear behind the curtains... Corey's music starts to play and the announcer lists him as the winner.

Corey: What happened?

A man then comes down to the ring. He is carrying a gift-wrapped box. As the Harts and Corey watch the man... they do not see... Diamond Dallas Page sneaking down to the ring. He picks up the chair that Taylor dropped earlier. He sneaks alongside the ring apron.

Corey: (looking at the man) Now what?

The man gets into the ring and motions for Corey. Major walks up and the man hands him the package. Corey holds it. He looks at it... then Bret. The Hitman nods to him reassuredly. Corey opens it up.

Inside is a framed picture of Sunny in the white outfit from WrestleMania. Corey's eyes go wide! Written on it is "Just something for you to think about... Hugs and Kisses -Sunny". Sunny shows it to Bret, who just shakes his head.

Bret: No, Corey. NO!

Corey looks at the picture again. A big smile comes across his face.

Corey: Yes. YES!

Then... from the blindside... DDP slides into the ring....
