WWF Superstars, Apr. 17, 1997

Smash flings Jarrett to the ropes and he comes bouncing back....Ax drops down for a drop toe hold... and Jarrett hurdles over him, bouncing to the near side. Smash comes rushing at him with a clothesline... and Double J ducks down and runs beneath it, reaching up and grabbing the arm.... ARMWRINGER!!

Cornette: HEY! HE'S HURTING THE WRONG GUY!! AX IS LEGAL!!

The referee turns to put Cornette in his place... and Demolition moves to double team. Jarrett whips Smash to his corner.... then ducks under an Ax clothesline.... and COMES UP WITH AN ARMWRINGER ON HIM!!!!!

Double J whips AX to his corner... then makes a tag to the Anvil. They switch.

JR: I don't think the referee saw it! He's tied up with Cornette!

The Anvil comes rushing at Demolition... and HEADBUTTS SMASH.... HE DROPS!!! He turns to Ax... HEADBUTT.... HE DROPS!!!

Cornette: (leaping up to the apron) They're switchin' without tagging!!!

The referee turns around and sees the Anvil in the ring.... and Jarrett on the apron.

Cornette: NO TAG!!! NO TAG!!!

JR: Doesn't the ref see that SMASH is still in there?

Pinnette comes at the Anvil and gets him to leave the ring. He does so with little arguement... but he's clearly upset. Double J steps back through the ropes. Smash rolls to the outside. Cornette drops back down with a wide grin on his face.

Sarah: Like him or not... James E. is effective!

Double J vaults over the top rope and runs at Ax.... into a DROPKICK....

Ax CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR.... AND SLAMS HIM DOWN!!! Double J rolls over a few times and reaches up to tag the Anvil. This time the referee sees it.

The Anvil runs in at Ax... SHOULDERBLOCK!!! Ax's arms flail around in wide circle.... and he teeters... AND FALLS!!! The Anvil looks around at the fans... AND THEY POP!!! Ax starts to get up... and catches a kick in the knee for his troubles. He and the Anvil lock up briefly.... they jockey for position..... AX HITS A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!

Ax yanks up the Anvil to a sitting position and looms over him, bringing his hands down into the shoulder and neck region of the Anvil. Neidhart clenches up a fist... and throws it up.... WHACKING Ax in the eye socket, breaking the hold!

Ax staggers backwards... and the Anvil rushes at him.... THEY COLLIDE!!!! BOTH MEN GO DOWN!!!!!

JR: Fortunate for Ax... he's near his corner!!!

Ax reaches up and tags in... VADER!!! The big man enters the ring.... bounces off the ropes.... and SPLASHES THE ANVIL!!!! HE HOOKS THE LEG!!! Bret makes a move to make the save.......

1... 2... KICKOUT! Bret steps back out. Cornette points him out to the referee, and the ref turns to check. Vader pulls up the Anvil... and whips him to Demolitions corner. Vader backs up a few steps.... then comes running in like a big bull....

AVALANCHE SPLASH!!!!!! Vader steps back... and watches the Anvil take one step... then fall flat on his face. Vader climbs up the ropes quickly... VADER BOMB!!!!! HE HITS IT!!!!

JR: VADER BOMB!!! VADER BOMB!!! IF HE HITS SID WITH IT ON CHAMPIONSHIP RAW.... NEW CHAMP!!!

Sarah: We'll have to wait and see. I'm pulling for Sid!

Heart Attack: He's going for ANOTHER!!!

Cornette motions to Hart and Jarrett... and the ref turns to make sure they're not entering. Bret and Jeff shrug at the ref as... VADER GOES... TO THE TOP!!! The Anvil is nearly out!!! VADER LEAPS.... VADER BOMB!!!!! The ref turns.... Vader's covering... 1... Bret and Jeff dive in.... 2.....

THREE!!!!! Bret stops... but JARRETT ATTACKS VADER!!! He pulls up one of his big legs... and drags him off the Anvil... AND SPINS ON THE FIGURE FOUR!!!! Ax and Smash leap out of the corner and stomp Jarrett down into the mat! They pull him up by the hair... AND THROW HIM FROM THE RING!

Bret helps the Anvil out of the ring as Vader and Demolition stand tall in the squared circle. Jim Cornette joins them, with a big smile.

JR: Your winners... right there. Perhaps the next World Champion... and next World tag TEAM champion! Vader... and Demolition.... and... give him credit for that win.... James E.Cornette!

Bret and Anvil collect themselves and leave, obviously unhappy. The hometown fans give them a nice ovation as they head out, slapping a few hands. Double J backs away from the ring, looking up at Vader who grins back.

JR: It's not over between them yet. Perhaps not until Superstars Revenge on May 31st!

Winners, by pinfall: Vader and Demolition

Vader's music begins to play over the P/A... and the Calgary fans BOO! They heave trash and paper into the ring at them. Cornette bats it away with his tennis raquet. A heavy fog surrounds ringside.... and begins to escort them away.

JR: What an evening we've had! Great action.... debuts.... GUESTS...

Sarah: Take a look at this!

Wild Chylde DiBiase comes through the crowd to where Corey is sitting with the Hart Family. She is casually dressed in jeans and a sweater. The camera picks up Corey...

Corey: Ready for the movie?

Wild Chylde: Let's go!

She smiles at him and they walk up the aisle, holding hands. The fans clamor for their attention.

JR: WELL! Ladies and gentlemen... it's been a great Superstars. But we're going to blow this card away I'm sure.... on Championship Raw... LIVE... from the Corestates Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!!!

Sarah: We now know... ALL FOUR championships will be decided!

Heart Attack: Roxanne defends against... the one that beat me... Venus Victrix!

JR: Psycho Sid defends against... VADER, who looked VERY good tonight!

Sarah: The I/C title is on the line, Double J defends against the Ultimate Warrior... who looked good on TNT!

JR: And of course, the Harts have accepted Luxury's challenge.. and will face WHOEVER she has for the titles on Championship Raw! For Heart Attack and Sarah D... I'm Jim Ross!!! GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!!!
