WWF Monday Night RAW Review: January 27th, 1997

WWF wants you to know that Savio Vega has had a 'real' bad day...

The graphic speaks for itself...

If the reader thinks that we’d had enough of the Ahmed Johnson-N.O.D storyline for one single recap, you’re wrong.

Right after The British Bulldog/Doug Furnas match, the viewers at home are presented with a footage of Shotgun Saturday Night- WWE’s own trashy version of ECW.

The footage starts off with quick raunchy shots of dozens of strippers with Jerry Lawler going— “Wait, isn’t that where Marlena pulled her top off!”

All of it has a certain “nightclub” vibe to it, foreshadowing a very prevalent theme regarding the upcoming Attitude Era.

Anyways, we see Savio Vega insisting that he hasn’t joined N.O.D despite betraying Johnson in the MSG show earlier. All of this gets even more comical when the graphic for this segment clearly states that good ol’ Vega has “had a Real Bad Day”.

We see quick highlights of Vega facing off against Rocky Maivia a.k.a The Rock (in the future). N.O.D members, along with Savio Vega gang up on ‘The Rookie Sensation’ after the match, & beat him to a pulp.

How many N.O.D segments in one single night?

But still, Vega insists that he hasn’t joined the Nation as of yet. Weird.
