Welcome to Shooting Sharp Episode #70 - Chicago Bound

The Monday Night Wars roll into another pivotal week as Wrestling War Zone returns! On episode 165, Chad & JTbreak down WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro from October 13, 1997, as the landscape of both companies continues to change heading deeper into the fall of 1997.

On Raw is War, one of the defining factions of the Attitude Era finally has a name. After weeks of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna and Rick Rude causing havoc, Shawn Michaels officially christens the group D-Generation X, using Bret Hart's own "degenerate" insults as inspiration. The war between DX and the Hart Foundation heats up as Shawn continues targeting Bret ahead of their WWF Championship showdown at Survivor Series.

Meanwhile, Stone Cold Steve Austin takes another major step toward returning to action. Austin signs the WWF's hold-harmless agreement, explains why he helped Owen Hart win the Intercontinental Championship at Badd Blood, and makes it clear that he wants Owen and the title. When the Nation of Domination takes exception, a young Rocky Maiviagets a firsthand taste of the Stone Cold Stunner.

The show also features Owen Hart vs. Kama Mustafa, Shawn Michaels battling Flash Funk, Goldust taking on Savio Vega, Brian Christopher vs. Tajiri and more as WWF's transformation toward the Attitude Era becomes increasingly apparent.

Over on WCW Monday Nitro, the road to Halloween Havoc 1997 continues with Hollywood Hogan and the nWo furious over Roddy Piper's authority. The biggest in-ring development comes when The Steiner Brothers battle Scott Hall & Syxx for the WCW Tag Team Championships, with Rick & Scott finally capturing the gold.

Elsewhere, Eddie Guerrero defends the Cruiserweight Championship against Psychosis, Dean Malenko battles Rey Mysterio Jr., Curt Hennig defends the United States Championship against Diamond Dallas Page, and the undefeated Goldberg continues the earliest stages of his historic rise.

Chad & JT break down:

• The official naming of D-Generation X

DX has a name. Austin is almost back. Goldberg is starting to roll. The Steiners finally have the gold. October 1997 is becoming a transformative month on both sides of the Monday Night Wars.
