RESULTS: Monday Night Raw July 28, 1997

AUSTIN AND PILLMAN PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Austin and Pillman stand side by side, with their gold belts slung over opposite shoulders. Pillman is wearing a Derrick Stardom t-shirt, while Austin's shirt says Austin 3:16.

Pillman: Steve... what more is there to say? My Hotlines and Newsletters have told the story. And if that wasn't enough, Sabrina puncuated it by embarassing Taylor Tech on national TV just a short while back.

Austin: Terry Taylor went and done made the stupidest mistake of his life, then he came out and tried to BEG for forgiveness. We ain't forgiving OR merciful, you suit-wearin' piece of trash. Derrick Stardom already done knocked three of your asses right out of the WWF... now it's time for Brian F'N Pillman and myself to finish off the rest of you.

Pillman: And a word to the UNwise, Taylor. Think about who we have just back-stage... BBDS himself! If anything gets too far out of line... like the Corporate Deep Fryer, or Todd Pettingzoo... then he may just make an appearance.

Austin: And you just don't KNOW if Chaos will ensue or NOT! Giant... you over-sized puppet... I done whooped your ass at the King of the Ring and I didn't even break a sweat. Tonight, it ain't gonna be no different. I'm gonna knock some sense into ya, and chop you down like you was a fat weed. And there cain't nobody DO nothin' about it!

Pillman: Giant... my friend... parting is such sweet sorrow. But kicking your ASS might make up for it! HAAHAHAHAAA!!!

The Match:
The final notes of 'I Owe My Soul to the Company Store' are heard. The Giant and Taylor rip away their tear-away suits as Todd takes up his position outside the ring.

Bobby: You know, if the Giant and Taylor were twins, the Giant is so dumb, he wouldn't know when his brother's birthday was!

There is the sound of glass breaking... then Stone Cold's music begins to play from the speakers. Sabrina comes through the curtains first, holding up two fistfuls of money, which she spreads to either side of the entryway.

The Eliminator Lucifer Graves comes out next, angrily glaring around. Austin and Pillman leave the curtains, side by side. Pillman has a maniacal grin on his face, while Austin has no expression other then pure hatred.

JR: Austin is ALL MAN... ALL business!

Bobby: How would you like to be his neighbor and return the lawnmower late?

Heart Attack: I wouldn't BORROW it!

When they get to ringside, they toss both of their belts up onto Graves' shoulders, then climb into the ring. Pillman climbs up in the corner, and pulls his t-shirt off. He throws it out into the fans, laughing as they dive for it.

Lucifer Graves checks under the ring, then walks around ringside, knocking back hats and heads to inspect everyone at ringside. With a low, guttaral grunt, he returns to Sabrina's side.

Bobby: I hope they never show a close up of Lucifer Graves any more!

JR: Why?

Bobby: The phone lines down at America's Most Wanted will be ringing off the hook!

Pillman steps out of the ring, as does the Giant. Taylor and Austin move in at each other as the bell sounds. Austin then rushes at Taylor and tackles him down, punching him in the face repeatedly! Taylor's legs kick around as he gets hammered.

Austin stands up and begins stomping him in the face over and over and over... then he yanks him up by the hair. Taylor kicks Austin in the midsection, backing him off. Taylor gains the upperhand with an armbar that starts to drive Austin forward to his knees....

Stone Cold reaches up with his free arm... and SNAP MARES Taylor over to the mat. Austin holds his head... turns his back to him... STONE COLD STUNNER!!! Austin presses Taylor down for the count... one... two... THREE!!!!!

Austin rolls from the ring, and Pillman jumps down from the apron. Sabrina laughs at Taylor Tech as her group walks out, with Austin's music blasting overheard.

JR: If you blinked... you MISSED IT!! Taylor went down... and he went down HARD!!!

Brian Pillman comes back over to the table.

Heart Attack: Told ya!

JR: I thought you two said you were going to take them out! Like what Stardom did to the others, Brian!

Pillman: We won't run them out of the WWF because of an INJURY! Anyone can INJURE someone. A hand grenade... a knife... a flame thrower. But it takes skill... to force some one out of their career because of SHEER EMBARASSMENT and humiliation! And THAT was embarassing for Taylor! A loss!

Sabrina is shown, still smiling and laughing as she walks out, behind the curtains.
