RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Apr. 28, 1997


KICKOUT!! Windham pops out!! He rolls to his corner, exhausted, and tags in Bradshaw! Justin comes in like a wildman and throws Manson to the exposed turnbuckle! Manson bounces out in pain!

Referee John Pinnette sees the exposed steel... and makes a decision...

Pinnette: HEY! Get somebody up there to fix that!!!

A ring attendant comes up and begins to replace the pad as Bradshaw dives low... and clips the legs out from under Mean Mark! He jumps high in the air and brings down his big cowboy boot in a leg drop... NOBODY HOME!!

Manson gets up, blinking his eyes and laughing. He tags in Graves. Lucifer Graves comes in again, casting a shadow over Bradshaw. Justin kneeclips Graves.... AND BRINGS THE BIG MAN DOWN!!! THE ENTIRE RING SHAKES! The fans CHEER!!!!

JR: The fans don't like the Blackjacks... but they HATE the Freakshow!

Bradshaw yanks up Graves.... SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!!! THE FANS CHEER AGAIN!!

Stevie: Lucky BOY!

JR: He DID it! That's 517 pounds! The big man went DOWN!

Justin backs up to a neutral corner. He waits with his arm outstretched. Graves begins to stagger up to his feet... and Bradshaw runs in.... THE LARIAT!! IT HITS!!! But Graves doesn't go down! Bradshaw backs up... and runs in again.... INTO LUCIFER GRAVES' AXEHANDLE!!! Bradshaw drops down to his knees.

Lucifer tags in Manson, but doesn't leave. Graves STOMPS into the back of the kneeling Bradshaw and pushes him into the grasp of Mean Mark. Manson LIFTS HIM UP.... INVERTS HIM.... TOMBSTONE!!! He covers Bradshaw!!!

The ref counts as Lucifer keeps Barry from making the save... 1....

Sarah: This is IT!

The ref counts 2..... 3....

NO! TWO COUNT!! TWO COUNT!! The fans can't believe it!!

JR: These Blackjacks are TOUGH!!! How many times have they kicked out!!!???

Graves tags in legally and pulls up Bradshaw in a high-bear hug. Manson runs at him from the ropes....

JR: THE HART ATTACK!!! THEY HIT IT!!!

Manson blocks Windham as Graves covers! Shadow chases Woman from the ring, and the Road Warriors block Benoit and Anderson. The ref counts....1... 2... 3....!!! The Freakshow's music plays and the fans boo!!!

JR: They did it!! What a display by BOTH teams! We've got future champs here in EITHER one of these teams!

Stevie: I told ya they're better!

Winners, by pinfall: Lucifer Graves and Mark Manson

The Freakshow collect themselves and look out at Razor. Ramon points up at Mean Mark... and then turns and leaves.

Meanwhile, Arn Anderson, Chris Benoit and Woman are forced out by the Road Warriors. The Enforcers exchange words with the Road Warriors... but back down from the nightsticks.

JR: They felt those nightsticks before, and I'm sure they don't want to again!

Sarah: Tomorrow night... they'll meet in the ring!

JR: What's THIS? Up in the ring? It's... PHOENIX!

The Phoenix is in the ring with the Blackjacks...
