The show, known as "Shotgun Saturday Night", would target older wrestling fans while taking inspiration from ECW. Shotgun Saturday Night originally took place inside unique venues that differed greatly from standard wrestling shows. Nightclubs, train stations & bars were used to give Shotgun a very different look and feel with most early shows happening in New York. The syndicated show would also air late at night, and superstars who appeared on the 1997 program included Mankind, Triple H, Bret Hart, The Undertaker and The Rock. This video takes a look at every show that took place inside unconventional venues (the first 6 episodes). 00:00 - Introducing Shotgun Saturday Night 02:11 - The first episode in the Mirage Nightclub 06:46 - Episode 2 in the All-Star Cafe 10:08 - The night before Royal Rumble 1997 12:52 - Webster Hall hosts episode 4 14:29 - Episode 5 returns to the Mirage Nightclub 16:14 - Penn Station hosts Shotgun Saturday Night 18:11 - Closing thoughts #WWF #WRESTLING #WWE
