Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 25, 1992

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beats Ron Cumberledge with the Figure Four Leg Lock. During the match, it is announced that pictures of Miss Elizabeth with "Macho Man" Randy Savage - and also doctored to replace Savage with Flair - are in the newest issue of WWF Magazine.

We see footage from the WrestleMania 8 reception, with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Hulk Hogan. We also see footage from the WrestleMania 8 brunch with Sean Mooney, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Sgt. Slaughter, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and "The Model" Rick Martel.

The British Bulldog beats Kevin Krueger. Before the match, Mr. Perfect shows up on commentary for the rest of the show after being in "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's corner for the previous match.

We see an advertisement for WBF Bodystars on Saturday mornings on USA Network.

Before the next match, The Genius says through poetry that a sissy is the one thing he cannot tolerate and that he knows The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) agree; he also says that Paul Ellering and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) are in need of masculinity.

The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) beat Eric Collins and Mike Freedom. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Beverly Brothers, who say that they are better than The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk), whom they call "The Legion of Sissies." The Genius cuts in, also saying that Paul Ellering is a sissy. After the match, Eric Collins gets green paint plastered on his face, courtesy of the Genius, while The Beverly Brothers write "LOS" with a D crossed out and call Collins "chicken."

We hear from The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Paul Ellering. Ellering says it is time to rewrite the history books, as only the victors write them. He says he has returned and that the Legion of Doom does not write checks it cannot cash. Animal tells The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) that they have been spoiled all their lives and had the best teachers in the World Wrestling Federation, but they are a stepping stone to the tag titles. Hawk says there are many differences between them and the Beverlys, as the Beverlys get pedicures at the beauty shop while they take their nails and chop them off with an ax. He tells The Beverly Brothers they are in for a lot of pain. We also hear from Repo Man, who says he is such a nice guy because he was just reading the paper and found out that the economy is bad and that the government might do something about it. It is then that he thought that he could be of help, since he is the guy who takes the car away when someone cannot pay the bills, and while he hates it when a family doesn't have any moment and can't feed their kids, he likes to take whatever he can and get rich at their expense.

We see another vignette for Crush, who says that when he was growing up, his mom used to tell him to mind his manners. Now, he is fully grown, and asks who in the WWF will make him mind his manners now.

Shawn Michaels beats George Anderson. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he heard what Shawn said last week, and tells him he has to beat him for the WWF Intercontinental Championship first and that he will not let someone like him tarnish the title.

The newest issue of WBF Magazine will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.

We hear from The Texas Tornado, who says that when he came to the World Wrestling Federation, he knew the challenges would be the toughest in the world and that he would fight the best in the world. However, he fights for other reasons; while others fight for titles and money, he fights for pride and honor, as he stands for hard work and guts as dreams are what he is made of. We then hear from Jimmy Hart and The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and BrianKnobbs), who say that they are not only blazing back up to the top, but have opponents waiting to come to their "pit stop." They say that everyone they come across are going to be victims, as they are on the way to tag team gold.

Sgt. Slaughter beats The Brooklyn Brawler with the Cobra Clutch. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Sgt. Slaughter, who says that when The Mountie gets in the ring with him, he will not only get his man, but The Mountie will be an international disgrace and an "international maggot."

WrestleMania 8 is now available from Coliseum Home Video!

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sid Justice on the stage. Sid says it was only last week when The Ultimate Warrior was on the stage with some young fans stating that one must have friends to be a leader. He tells Warrior that he needs no friends, because he is the man in the WWF that everyone fears. He then talks about Warrior showing up at WrestleMania 8 and putting his nose in his business only to fail to save Hulk Hogan, calling WrestleMania 8 "the end of Hulkamania." Sid then asks Warrior who will save him from Sid Justice, as he is the man who gave Hulk Hogan his last match and he is the man who sees that Warrior's match with him will be Warrior's last.

Ring announcer Howard Finkel announces that Shawn Michaels has left the building.

The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) beat Kent Carlson and Tom Stone. During the match, we see pre-recorded commentary from Jimmy Hart and Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), who tell The Natural Disasters that they are crying over spilled milk now that they have the tag team titles again.

We hear from Skinner, who says that ever since he came to the WWF, he has had to prove himself to everybody, not to his opponents, but to the world. He says he will do anything to win a match, but he is proving himself slowly but surely. He says that he is able to stand up with more muscular Superstars because he is hungry, mean and willing to beat everyone who gets in his way. We also hear from Tatanka, who thanks all the great spirits above and the great chiefs of past, present and future for his WWF success, as well as the fans for all their support. His goal is to rise to the top of the WWF and make his people proud once again as he trains and works hard to reach the top of the World Wrestling Federation.

Before the next match, Mr. Fuji takes The Undertaker's urn from Paul Bearer. This distracts The Undertaker, allowing The Berzerker to attack Paul Bearer and The Undertaker with his shield before going after The Undertaker with his sword, which pierces the canvas of the ring as The Undertaker rolls out of the way to avoid being stabbed. The Undertaker avoids this and get his hand around Mr. Fui's throat, but this allows The Berzerker to attack again, rip some floor mats off and hit The Undertaker with a piledriver on the exposed concrete floor. Paul Bearer manages to revive The Undertaker with the urn, and Mr. Fuji and The Berzerker run away to the back while The Undertaker and Paul Bearer slowly give chase.

We hear from Skinner, who tells The Ultimate Warrior that he will beat his brains out and show him why he is not scared of anybody. We then hear from The Ultimate Warrior, who says that those who have forgotten his power and what he represents should keep in mind - along with Skinner's swamp creatures - that he has walked in darker places and felt nastier things than the taste of the chewing tobacco Skinner keeps in his mouth. He says that Skinner will fall like those before to the power of The Ultimate Warrior next week.

Next week: Skinner vs. The Ultimate Warrior! A special interview with "Macho Man" Randy Savage! An update on the Undertaker/Berzerker incident!

The show closes with a slow-motion replay of The Berzerker's sword piercing the ring canvas as The Undertaker rolls out of the way.
