WWF 'Thursday RAW Thursday' Review: February 13th, 1997

Sunny's "Two Wonders Of The World"...

Jerry Lawler should be scrambling for his one-liner anytime now...

Sunny comes out to the ring. OH BAW GAWD! She’s wearing a white top & biting on a yellow rose. Wait, how did I remember that the rose was yellow?

Sunny isn’t around much in 1997, but the audience goes nuts nevertheless. She pulls a note from her bra & it looks like she is going to be announcing the participants for the next match.

Now, I don’t know how this happens every time, but I swear Jerry Lawler always prepares for a line whenever something like this happens. He goes—

“I don’t know what the Seven Wonders of the World are McMahon…but Sunny’s got two of ‘em!”

Jerry…Oh, Jerry.

The Headbangers debut on RAW. Dear Metalheads, please proceed at your own risk.

MATCH #2: THE HEADBANGERS (Mosh & Thrasher) vs. ALDO MONTOYA & BOB HOLLY.

The viewers are seeing The Headbangers on RAW for the first time ever. Judging by the name, one expects them to play the role of two Metalheads obsessed with Heavy Metal music.

But for those who haven’t heard of the term ‘Headbanging’ ever in their entire life, they must be like— “So do they bang heads or what?”

Turns out, whoever came up with this idea knew nothing about headbanging in the first place. Mosh & Thrasher literally bang their heads with each other. If there’s one thing I know, this mind-boggling display of dumbness might’ve offended about each & every Metalhead watching this broadcast back then (but they’re going to stick around for Sunny anyways).

It’s a below average match, & certainly not the best part of the night. But Vince McMahon & Jim Ross are sadly reflecting on Shawn Michaels’ career the entire time. One of the Headbangers tries to knock Bob Holly off the apron, but Holly just stands there, perhaps in a daze. He realizes it too late though because The Headbangers win using the stage dive anyways.

The commentary team throughout the entire match was like— “Let’s talk about Shawn Michaels. Poor Shawn. Love him or hate him, Shawn Michaels was great. Shawn Michaels, we know right? That’s it, this match is won by Shawn Mich— sorry, The Headbangers! Up next, Shawn Michaels!”

Up next, Shawn Michaels!

RESULT: The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher) win the match.
