www.wrestlecrap.com/inductions/shotgun/I bet you do. I know this induction was written last year. But, here's some things that I have noticed. - if you scroll down, you will see a pic of an episode that took place at Penn Station. Penn Station apparently was showing what is now called Bloomberg TV. So in essence, WWE was showing a TV showing Bloomberg TV. I wonder if they got in trouble for that or since WWE was so unpopular and the program was being shown late at night, that nobody cared. - Props for the person getting the footage from WLNY in NY. I lived in Bergen County, NJ at the time which is part of the NYC area. Unfortunately, I never saw this show during the live era because my cable system didn't carry it at the time. I also couldn't pick up the station with a UHF antenna. What did you guys think?

My favorite episodes were the one from Penn Station where Undertaker tombstoned HHH down the escalator and the one from Texas the night before Royal Rumble 97 where Funk went on a rant, and picked a fight with Austin.

I recall the Sisters of Mercy debut. They were the Headbangers, dressed as Catholic nuns.

Yeah this was supposed to be an attempt at more 'adult' programming similar to what ECW provided but they gave up after about a month.
Then it just became another filler show like Superstars had become at that time.

Yeah this thread pops up everx six months or so
First 2 episodes were absolute bullshit, with some of the dumbest and lowest points in TV wrestling history
After toning it down two notches, it was alright
Then it became the jobber show

Hells yeah. Good times, waiting for 11 pm on Saturdays for this or whatever the WWE syndicated show was on WLNY. Then usually an edited version of a horror movie would follow it.
