RESULTS: Monday Night Raw June 16, 1997

The crowd looks to the entrance as Sting makes his way down the aisle! Sting wears a pair of wrap around shades, no face paint, and regular street clothes. He slaps hands as he makes his way up into the ring and asks for the microphone.

Sting stands in the ring quietly, letting the fans cheers die down.

Sting: Here's the deal. Last night, I walked into the King of the Ring, and I was looking to take it all. Before my first match with Stevie Ray, he and his boys find me and jump me in the back. That's all right, I wasn't surprised.

Sting: I move on to the next round against The Giant, and I end up fighting off 3 guys. That's all right, again I wasn't surprised. But the Giant got the win, and he went on to the finals. Me? I went back to the dressing rooms, my eyes stinging, feeling dejected ... not too happy about what'd happened.

Sting: Giant, I fought off several guys earlier on ... I fought off you and 2 of your buddies during the match ... and I STILL gave you more than you could handle! I didn't lose to YOU, Giant! I lost to Taylor Tech as a WHOLE! But after tonight ... Taylor Tech won't BE a whole any longer!

Sting: 2 guys have the chance to put an END to Terry Taylor right here tonight, but that's not gonna take care of all of you. So right now I'm issuing a challenge ... I've got 2 guys behind me, who would like nothing better than to rip you guys up! So Taylor Tech, I propose a little 6-man tag ... July's In Your House. Me and my partners against WHOEVER you want to bring down! The Giant! Scott Hall! Flawless! The Machine!

Sting: My boys are ready ... in fact, you could say they're TAYLOR MADE for the situation! Taylor Tech, accept the challenge ... but if not, we have WAYS of making you talk. Isn't that right, RICK?!

The video wall suddenly comes alive, showing Rick Rude and 2 of the Taylor Blondes on each arm!

Rude: Stinger, when we get done messing with their heads, they won't be in ANY condition to fight! But ...

Rude glances at each woman.

Rude: I don't mind if it takes a WHILE for this one! And next week, the fun continues! I've got a special surprise in store ... but it could be a Rude Awakening for Taylor Tech.

The video wall goes off.

Sting: Boys, we want an answer, and we want one SOON! And keep in mind, we have YET to pull out the big guns! But ignore us ... and they WILL be played! OWWWWWWWWWWW!!

Sting drops the microphone and heads out of the ring, slapping hands as he goes along.

JR: He's not happy about the Taylor Tech! And... well... WHO IS!?

Vincer: Taylor Tech has made many enemies. They should have learned an important lesson in gambling... and that is when to bluff... and when to fold. There is no suprise who THEY have tonight in the main event. There is no sense in bluffing. Taylor Tech, tonight, may FOLD!

JR: That's right folks! UNIFIED TAG TITLE MATCH TONIGHT! Taylor Tech... or Money Inc. against... a MYSTERY team of PIPER'S! If Money Inc loses... TAYLOR IS OUT OF THE FED!

Vincer: The stakes are HIGH in that match.

JR: Also... the REMATCH! Lady Tyr versus a woman 200 POUNDS lighter then her! Starr Blaze! Last week, that match was marred by Taylor Tech's interference. Let's see if they can have a CLEAN match this time.

Vincer: This Starr Blaze does not trust me I've heard. Well, I do not know why. I've done nothing to sway anyone's opinion to my knowledge. I wish her and Lady Tyr the best of luck in their match.

JR: Any predictions?

Vincer: I have decided to NOT wager a guess on this match, for fear of insulting either one, and perhaps ruin my waning reputation with Ms.Blaze.

JR: And of course, our opening contest... Derrick Stardom, the Badd Boy... against the man that hit the DIAMOND CUTTER from behind... then... well... BIT HIS EAR!

Vincer: Mr. Stardom and I... seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot. I would like to apologize to him for my actions weeks back. I KNOW what he can do when angered. Mr. Ross, it is MY prediction that Mr. Flawless will find that out tonight as well. Funds will be changing hands.

JR: Do you have a BET?

Vincer: Betting is not ALL that I do. No... not this time. The funds I speak of are FINES. I am nearly certain Mr. Stardom will attempt injuries on Flawless.

JR: The King said you don't know anything about wrestling... and that may be TRUE. But gosh darn-it... you are usually RIGHT! Let's head backstage to our colleague Dok Hendriks. He's standing by with the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom and Heart Attack!
