RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Apr. 7, 1997

Stardom waits for Gilbert to get in the ring... then he LEAPS AT HIM!!! Stardom drives Gilbert back into the corner and begins peppering him with rights and lefts!! He lifts up a knee into Gilbert's mid-section... then again... and AGAIN!!!!

Stardom snap mares Gilbert out of the corner, slamming him over onto his rear! The Badd Boy... DROPKICKS Gilbert in the back of the head!!! Gilbert falls over on his side, clutching at his head. Stardom leaps on him, punching him again in the face... over and over again!!!

Power and Glory can only watch on the outside... THE FANS ARE GOING NUTS!!! NOT CHEERING FOR STARDOM... BUT THE BEATING GILBERT IS TAKING!!!

Derrick sends the Emperor for the ride... BIG BOOT!!! Gilbert is dropped! Stardom springboards off the second rope... MOONSAULT!!! Stardom then yanks up the Emperor by the hair and throws him to the turnbuckles. He runs at him... CORNER CLOTHESLINE!!!

Stardom continues to pound on the Emperor as the clock ticks down! When it reaches 10 seconds, the fans count it down! Stardom hears... and SLAMS Gilbert in the center of the ring. He climbs up to the top rope as the count hits 5... 4.... 3.... 2.... HE LEAPS....1.....

STARFALL LEGDROP!!! FIREWORKS BURST OVER HEAD AS HE CONNECTS!!! THE PLACE GOES NUTS!!! Gilbert is a bloody mess!!! Power and Glory rush into the ring to pull the Emperor out.

Two individuals begin to push their way through the crowd. The camera finds them and pulls to a better vantage point... IT'S STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN AND BRIAN PILLMAN!!! They jump over the barricade. Stardom turns around and looks down at them in disgust. Austin rips the mic up from the table and points up at Stardom.

Stone Cold: Son, that five minutes ALONE in the ring... is about 30 seconds UP! Now we get ALL the time in the world we WANT... to kick YOUR stinkin' ASS!!! LET'S GO!!

Austin slams the mic down and he and Pillman slide into the ring.

Derrick rushes at them with a double clothesline... but both Pilman AND Austin duck underneath it! Stardom turns around. Pillman launches himself at the Badd Boy... who catches him... and PRESSES HIM OVER AND OUT!!! Pillman lands HARD outside the ring!!

Austin takes a swing at Stardom, who blocks! The fans erupt as the Hart Foundation start charging down to ringside! They are running at full tilt!! Stardom blocks another punch... and PRESSES AUSTIN!!! HE HEAVES HIM OUT!!!

Stardom looks down at Pillman and Austin and shakes his head. He looks at ringside where the Harts are...

Stardom: CLEAN UP BOYS... HAHAHA... the HARD work is taken CARE of!

Bret and Anvil slide into the ring, keeping an eye on Austin and Pillman who are pulling themselves up from the mat. The Harts look ready to go. The Road Warriors start to move around the ring, eyeing them up. Austin shakes his head at them, then flips them off. He and Pillman leave.

The Harts turn around and see Derrick staring at them with a look of disbelief on his face. The Hitman points up his finger at the Badd Boy and 'pulls the trigger' like Stardom does. Derrick looks back at him like the Hitman's NUTS!

Bret: Derrick, we may not be friends. But we have some of the SAME friends. And though we thanked you. THAT was for Heart Attack. (Bret motions to Pillman and Austin, who wisely retreated after the Hart's arrived.)

Anvil: Well... a LITTLE BIT FOR US!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Stardom nods at them.The Harts get out of the ring, nodding toward the Road Warriors. Stardom looks around, not really sure how to react. He then begins posing a bit for the fans, taunting them and having his usual good time. 'Cult of Personality' starts to play and a brilliant fireworks display blasts overhead! Stardom finally jumps out of the ring and begins to head up the aisle. He motions toward some of the fans... getting close... but then pulling away... shrugging and laughing. He disappears behind the curtains as his music dies down.

JR: Well... that was a WILD way to open up RAW! And what the Hart's did. They've got hearts of GOLD, Sarah! They've helped out the Blizzard recently... and now came to the aid of Derrick Stardom! The Badd Boy isn't used to THAT!

Sarah: Well....

JR: I'M SORRY SARAH! I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF... BUT SOMETHING'S GOING DOWN!!! LET'S HEAD BACKSTAGE!!
