just something i got to thinking about in the other thread about Terry Funk....
Shotgun Saturday Night debuted in January 1997 from various New York bars,nightclubs,and other locations (though it was in Texas the night before the Royal Rumble), and was immediately edgier than most WWF programming at the time,with highlights including Marlena flashing her tits, Terry Funk cursing on air,the Flying Nuns making a mockery of the Catholic religion, and in a memorable moment had the Undertaker tombstone HHH on an escalator...
so,my question is,do you think this was just an experiment,or was the actual beginnings of the WWF's attempt at pushing for the Attitude Era? was this Vince's first attempt to see if people would watch a more adult WWF product?
