was a professional wrestling television program produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It aired from, 1997 through 1999 and was a Broadcast syndication show that featured matches with lower card wrestlers. Shotgun Saturday Night was replaced by WWE Jakked/Metal in 1999.
The show's original concept was unusual for its time, since it aired on late Saturday nights from various New York City nightspots. The promotion pushed the program as an "edgier" project than its normal weekly offerings.
debuted on from the Mirage Nightclub in New York. One of the most memorable moments of the debut episode occurred when Marlena climbed on the ring apron during a match between Goldust and The Sultan, and removed her top, causing the Sultan to be distracted and lose the match. Though she was wearing pasties, and though her back was facing the camera, this incident set the tone for WWF programming over the next several years.
Eventually, Shotgun Saturday Night lost its unique feel and stopped being broadcast live from NYC. An expletive laiden promo by Terry Funk on the January 18, 1997 episode forced the WWF to drastically change the program's format. The show simply became an undercard taping (similar to Heat), although retaining its edgy broadcast look.
The show was commentated by Vince McMahon and Sunny in the beginning, with Jim Ross and Brian Pillman performing the same duties until mid-1997. Kevin Kelly, Michael Cole, Jim Cornette and Vince Russo also served as commentators. Stone Cold Steve Austin also served as a surprise guest commentator on one episode along with Owen Hart.
The WWF also aired a similar syndicated show at the time called WWF Shotgun, which aired in the afternoon and was more kid-friendly. The matches were shown in reverse order and had different commentators. Some stations carried both shows. This show was replaced with WWF Metal in 1999.
In the New York market, the show went by a different name, WWF New York in 1997 and 1998, airing on WPIX and WPXN-TV. It was shown late at night, airing at 2:00 a.m., Eastern time (WPXN aired the series on Saturday mornings).
