RESULTS: Monday Night Raw June 23, 1997

(Raw Theme Plays)

The Sports Arena in Nashville, Tennesee is going WILD!! Red fireworks blast over the ring as the speakers pump the Raw theme song! Jim Ross and Heart Attack are shown down at the table.

JR: WELCOME TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!! Heart Attack... what a night of action we have planned!!! THE WORLD TITLE is on the line!! Brian Pillman.. his FIRST title defense... against the Giant!

Heart Attack: Pillman is gonna choke! And I get to sit here and watch! I can't wait for this one!

JR: And how about THIS... A CAREER ENDING STRETCHER MATCH... right here TONIGHT!! Mr. Scott Hall... against Badd Boy Derrick Stardom!

Heart Attack: Derrick is going to wipe up the floor with Hall. And that's not biased. That's the TRUTH!

JR: Well... Taylor Tech will be wise to stay out of THIS one... when careers are on the LINE... you CAN'T get involved!

Heart Attack: That's exactly right!

JR: JoBo is in action... and I hear we're in for a little suprise for his entrance. He'll be taking on THE KYOTO NINJA!!!

Heart Attack: JoBo's got a tough fight on his hands. The Kyoto Ninja was the most underated wrestler in our fed.

JR: He's been touring Japan and Mexico with Hakushi and has had MUCH success! He's won many regional belts. I wonder how he'll do here tonight against JoBo. And up first... A STEEL CAGE MATCH... the Blizzard Adrien Blades takes on the Techno Kid!

Heart Attack: Well, I hope the Blizzard gets a victory tonight. He deserves one.

JR: He's had a terrible record this year. Perhaps in the cage, his luck will change! He's standing by, backstage. Let's go to him now... then we'll get up to the ring!!!

The camera dissolves from them, as the cage is being constructed around the ring.

BLIZZARD PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

The Blizzard is in the back looking ready for his match.

He scrapes his throat and begins to talk to the camera.

Blizzard : The Techno Kid. You know...you might change your name...and you might join a rather stupid stable but don't doesn't change anything about the stuff you said. I still remember the comments you made about Sunny and me...and for that...your'e gonna go down. I hope to have the fans behind...and that would surely give me a boost. Tonight...one more member of the hated Taylor Tech will be dead and buried".

The Blizzard walks out of the back and to the arena.
