Good Ol JR is stuck in New York City and won't be home till this weekend, so we're diving back into the archives of Grilling JR for a look at Band Blood 1997! There's a lot to cover from this show, including the untimely and tragic passing of Brian Pillman. How did JR find out, and how did he feel about the way the WWE handled the news? Plus, Kane debuted after one of the greatest main events of all time, Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker in the first ever Hell In A Cell! Also, Bret Hart as WWE Champion on the last PPV prior to the Montreal Screwjob, the "Gang Wars" storyline, Owen Hart vs. Faarooq for the IC title vacated by Steve Austin's neck injury, and so much more!
