GODSON Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 I never seen any of the Shotgun Saturday Night shows before they move to Arena's. The only thing I remember seeing was footage of Ahmed PRP on the top of the car and that's it. Since we probably can't post footage of it on the net, does anybody have screenshots from the early days of Shotgun?

Dobbs 3K Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Shotgun really wasn't that great. Frankly, a good majority of the country couldn't even see the show, since WWF did a crappy job of getting affiliates to carry it before they started the show. That led to a huge curiosity factor for a lot of fans, but once people actually saw the show, it wasn't that special. A lot of the matches and angles were pretty embarassing, and the whole wrestling in bars and nightclubs thing seemed kind of second rate. Finally, after just a couple months it became a second tier show taped before Monday Night RAW.
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 It was more risque at least, and worked as a prototype for the WWE's soon to be pushing the envelope style of shows. Case in point: As a 13ish year old fan at this point, I was excited the WWF signed MIGUEL PEREZ JR in Feb to feud with SAVIO VEGA of all people. i remember thinking, good one more guy WCW can't use. Yes we were so hard up for anything to look forward to as fans during the 95-96 death watch that MIGUEL PEREZ and SAVIO excited me Shit.
