Next week: an update on the condition of Crush!
It is announced that the official WWF Royal Rumble program will be on newsstands this Tuesday.
Slick says it's a shame how Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee have abused Kamala. He knows he interfered, but he is a peaceful man and will not fight back, and he wants to help Kamala see the light just like he has, and asks the fans to embrace and reach out to him to help him down the righteous path.

As for Jannetty, everybody knows he is the man that carried the team and carried him through his entire career, and at Royal Rumble, he will be carried for the last time, and out of the building.
Crush beats W.T. Jones with the Cranium Crusher. During the match, Doink shows up again.

We then see pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow, who knows that Bret is on a heavy schedule and that he has the brawn, the guts and the stamina to take the WWF Championship from Bret. Bigelow that says that the bigger they are, the harder they fall, but the smaller Bret is, the farther he will fly. We also see pre-recorded comments from Big Boss Man and Tatanka. Big Boss Man says that thinking about Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) makes his blood boil, but he's going to try to be calm and cool, as he knows Money Inc. can't buy him and Tatanka and that they will take the tag team titles from them. Tatanka says he and Big Boss Man represent law, truth and justice, which he believes in. He then says Money Inc. represents the government, which hurt his ancestors hundreds of years ago, and promises to avenge his ancestors by taking the tag team titles.

The All-American Boys - All-American Wrestling Recap for January 10, 1993
"Mean" Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are in New York City, New York the day before the premiere edition of Monday Night Raw. Okerlund and Heenan argue about how they got there, with Okerlund saying that his driver could have gotten them over here quickly while Heenan says that while his driver doesn't know a word of English, he really knows his way around and is super-cheap. Okerlund makes note of the cheapness of Heenan's driver. Heenan waves at the Statue of Liberty, then ducks a pigeon. Okerlund then says he can't wait to get to the Manhattan Center, where Raw will take place tomorrow night. Heenan says that while he's not on the show and is not involved in any way, he holds no hard feeling towards Okerlund and will help get him there for cheap. Okerlund has the feeling he is not in the most capable of hands, then kicks off the opening match.
The Undertaker beats Scott Zappa. After the match, Scott Zappa is placed in a bodybag.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is in the back of a limousine driven by a man named Zappo. They then plug WWF Mania, and Heenan talks about how Razor Ramon sent a message to Bret "Hit Man" Hart that he will take the WWF Championship from him at Royal Rumble by attacking "The Rocket" Owen Hart on the premiere episode. Okerlund then mentions that he and Heenan have passed the Empire State Building three times, implying that their driver is lost.
Kamala beats Todd Becker. Kim Chee and Harvey Wippleman abuse Kamala after the match, then Reverend Slick shows up from out and confronts Kim Chee and Wippleman over their treatment of Kamala. Kim Chee punches Slick out, then Kamala finally has enough and chops Kim Chee out of the ring before chasing Wippleman to the back.
We look back on Razor Ramon's attack on "The Rocket" Owen Hart during an interview on WWF Mania. Razor Ramon says that Bret "Hit Man" Hart is upset that he attacked his brother Owen, and that he made it personal. Razor then tells Bret that at Royal Rumble, he's next. We then hear from Bret, who tells Razor Ramon that he'll have to pound out some bully for beating up one of his little brothers, and that when he steps in the ring with him at Royal Rumble, he'll not only prove that he's a good fighter, but that he'll pound the daylights out of him.
The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat two unnamed opponents, then take a bite out of the guy they pinned. Before the match, Afa, Samu and Fatu are seen eating a raw meat sandwich, obviously wordplay referring to tomorrow night's premiere of Monday Night Raw.
It is announced that the WWF will be the first sports-entertainment group to aid the food crisis in Somalia, and will donate a minimum of $100,000 to the Somalia Relief Fund. Proceeds from the January 29th show in Madison Square Garden will be donated to the American Red Cross to send medicine, food and relief supplies for the starving in Somalia. Sean Mooney acts that fans send donations to the Somalia Relief Fund at P.O. Box 9131, Church Street Station, New York, NY, 10256, then advertises Royal Rumble. We then hear from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, who says that he can't think of a better way to start the year off than by winning the Royal Rumble match. He says that wherever you find money, you will find him, and he and Irwin R. Schyster will definitely be at Royal Rumble. In case they're the last two men in the Rumble, it's business as usual, but all the money goes to Money Inc. (DiBiase, Schyster), and they can't lose. We also hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says he hears people talking about him. He says there are no friends in the Royal Rumble match, and says he's going to win it regardless of what happens.
It is a chilly evening in New York City, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are in the middle of Times Square - nowhere near the Manhattan Center - because Zappo, their limo driver, dumped them there because he ran out of gas. Heenan says he'll be back, and at this point Okerlund sees no use in arguing with Heenan. Heenan then talks about the secret he has in Narcissus at Royal Rumble before having contention with some of the people out on the street, then Okerlund leads us to the next match, already in progress.
Marty Jannetty beats Repo Man with a crucifix pin.
We see a repeat of Rene Rougeau's interview with the clown that has been seen in the crowd for the past few weeks. We see that the clown's arm is in a sling, and says his name is Doink. He laughs when reminded of how he tripped Big Boss Man on his way to the ring, put a mop in Tatanka's eye, threw water on Marty Jannetty (saying he needed a bath anyway), and reminds Rougeau of the banana's beneath Bob Backlund's feet. Rougeau says Doink is the only person laughing here, and says that clowns are supposed to be funny. Doink says he enjoys entertaining the kids, then looking at their smiles and wanting to take those smiles away as he goes from happy-go-lucky to dark and serious. Rougeau reminds him that Crush gave him a severe warning last week on Superstars, and tells him that it's one thing to pull pranks on WWF Superstars but something completely different when the kids are involved. Doink says he's just having a good time, but Rougeau says the jokes are at someone's else expense. Doink doesn't care whose expense the jokes are, then squirts Rougeau with the flower on his jacket before rolling on the floor laughing.
It is announced that Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty at Royal Rumble, and that Sensational Sherri will be at ringside, even though it is unknown whose corner she will be in. We then hear from Shawn, who says nobody has been more undeserving of an Intercontinental title shot than Jannetty, but being "Mr. Cool," he's decided to give him one anyway. Shawn then states that Sherri will be in his corner, even though he hasn't had a chance to talk to her. We then hear from Jannetty, who says that January 24th will be "Marty Jannetty Day" as he will take the Intercontinental title and end Shawn's career, telling Shawn that he doesn't know Sherri as much as he thinks he does, implying that Sherri might be in his corner.
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Tatanka, Irwin R. Schyster, Bob Backlund, Lawler, Mr. Perfect, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Crush, "The Model" Rick Martel, Yokozuna, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Papa Shango, Earthquake, Berserker, Undertaker, Carlos Colon, and the recently announced Great Tenryu, "El Matador" Tito Santana, Typhoon, Samu, Fatu, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will all be in the Royal Rumble match. We also hear from some of the competitors in the Royal Rumble match. Mr. Perfect says his smile doesn't look out of place, as the Royal Rumble match is here and he doesn't have a problem with anything because he's perfect. No matter who he faces, they're not perfect. Mr. Fuji speaks for Yokozuna, who tells everyone to look at Yokozuna, saying no one can move him or lift him off his feet. At 505 pounds, Yokozuna will become the Royal Rumble winner. Duggan says the Royal Rumble is his kind of match, as you nail anything that moves and there are no friends or foe. Even though he cannot promise he will win the match, he will give it 110%.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Butch Banks and Rock Werner in a repeat match from Superstars. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from the Steiners. Scott says they don't know if WWF is ready for them, but at Royal Rumble, The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) will know. Rick says that they've made their New Year's resolutions, and The Beverly Brothers aren't going to like them.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are back in the limo and inside a tunnel. Heenan says Zappo knows where he's going, but Okerlund has the feeling that Heenan doesn't want him to make it to Monday Night Raw as he is jealous that he won't be there. Heenan insists he still holds no ill will, then Okerlund plugs Royal Rumble and the Madison Square Garden show benefiting Somalia Relief fund.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan finally make it to the Manhattan Center. Tomorrow night on Raw, The Undertaker will face Damien Demento, and Yokozuna will face Koko B. Ware. Heenan, irritated that he is not part of the show, wants nothing to do with the show, and the limo leaves with Heenan's belongings to close out the show as Okerlund heads into the Manhattan Center in preparation for tomorrow night.
The Undertaker beats Scott Zappa. After the match, Scott Zappa is placed in a bodybag.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is in the back of a limousine driven by a man named Zappo.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 9, 1993
Kamala beats Todd Becker. Kim Chee and Harvey Wippleman admonish and abuse Kamala after the match, but Reverend Slick shows up and tells them that their partnership with Kamala is over.

We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Razor Ramon. Razor Ramon says he knows Bret is upset because he slapped his brother Owen Hart around, and tells him that at Royal Rumble, he is next. Bret says this isn't the first time he'll have to pound out a bully for picking on one of his brothers. When Razor Ramon steps into the ring with him at Royal Rumble, he will show he's not just a good wrestler, but he's a tough fighter, and that he will pound the daylights out of him.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Butch Banks and Rock Werner. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from the Steiners.

Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Raw for the nights of January 11th and January 18th at the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York. Also, WWF hits the Meadowlands Arena this afternoon when Razor Ramon faces Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect tells Razor Ramon that he thinks he is cool and "oozing machismo," but Perfect tells him what he is oozing stinks while he is oozing perfection. Anyone who has been in the ring with him knows he is the greatest, and when Razor Ramon gets in the ring thinking he is tough, he will get nicked, because nobody beats Mr. Perfect...nobody. We then hear from Shawn Michaels, who is defending the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty. He tells Jannetty that he reeks of jealousy. He cannot blame him, but there is a lot to be jealous of, as he is the hottest dude in the WWF, the Intercontinental Champion, he is rich, good-looking, and has it all. Meanwhile, Jannetty has nothing, and that is not going to change. Jannetty says this is a good opportunity for him, as he has a shot at Shawn Michaels - something he has wanted for a long time - as well as the Intercontinental Championship. There is nothing anybody can do to keep him from taking his title and his career.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan tells Mr. Perfect that he has heard him asking questions of the other wrestlers about Narcissus, and says that comparing Mr. Perfect to Narcissus would be like comparing ice cream to horse manure. He says horse manure has its place in this world, even perfect horse manure, but Narcissus is so beyond perfect that he could very well be from another galaxy. He says that when he unleashes Narcissus at Royal Rumble, even Perfect will be convinced that Narcissus is from another world.
Lance Cassidy beats George Petrovsky.
The new issue of WWF Magazine with Mr. Perfect on the cover is at newsstands this Tuesday.
Raymond Rougeau interviews the clown that has been seen in the WWF as of late. The clown is seen with a sling on his arm, and says that his name is Doink. Raymond Rougeau asks Doink about tripping The Big Boss Man on his way to the ring, putting a mop in Tatanka's eye and splashing water on Marty Jannetty. Doink also mentions the bananas under Bob Backlund's feet. Rougeau says Doink is the only one laughing with them. Doink says he love entertaining the children before looking at their smiles and thinking about taking those smiles away. Rougeau reminds Doink that Crush warned him not to make the children sad, but Doink says he's having a good time. Rougeau says he's having a good time, but Rougeau says he's having a good time at someone else's expenses. Doink doesn't care whose expense he has fun at, and squirts water into Raymond Rougeau's face.
The Undertaker beats Scott Zappa, who is then placed into a bodybag.
It is announced that Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty at Royal Rumble, and that Sensational Sherri will be at ringside, even though it is unknown whose corner she will be in. We then hear from Shawn, who says nobody has been more undeserving of an Intercontinental title shot than Jannetty, but being "Mr. Cool," he's decided to give him one anyway. Shawn then states that Sherri will be in his corner, even though he hasn't had a chance to talk to her. We then hear from Jannetty, who says that January 24th will be "Marty Jannetty Day" as he will take the Intercontinental title and end Shawn's career, telling Shawn that he doesn't know Sherri as much as he thinks he does, implying that Sherri might be in his corner.

We also hear from some of the competitors in the Royal Rumble match. Mr. Perfect says his smile doesn't look out of place, as the Royal Rumble match is here and he doesn't have a problem with anything because he's perfect. No matter who he faces, they're not perfect. Mr. Fuji speaks for Yokozuna, who tells everyone to look at Yokozuna, saying no one can move him or lift him off his feet. At 505 pounds, Yokozuna will become the Royal Rumble winner. Duggan says the Royal Rumble is his kind of match, as you nail anything that moves and there are no friends or foe. Even though he cannot promise he will win the match, he will give it 110%.
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Red Tyler. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from The Big Boss Man, who tells Bam Bam Bigelow that he will find out he is nothing but flesh and blood when he gets into the ring with him at Royal Rumble.

Sean Mooney acts that fans send donations to the Somalia Relief Fund at P.O. Box 9131, Church Street Station, New York, NY, 10256. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who takes on Bam Bam Bigelow at Madison Square Garden in New York on January 29th. Bret talks about the hunger crisis in Somalia, and he hopes that everyone shows up to the show where the proceeds go to the starving in Somalia. He says there is no more worthy or compassionate cause than this one, and asks everyone to do their part as he is honored to be part of this cause. When the people show up, he needs their support when he takes on Bam Bam Bigelow.It is also announced that Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Bob Backlund, and that Mr. Perfect will take on "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair at the event.
Next week: Yokozuna! The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs)! A special interview with Shawn Michaels! Crush! Razor Ramon!
We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Razor Ramon. Razor Ramon says he knows Bret is upset because he slapped his brother Owen Hart around, and tells him that at Royal Rumble, he is next. Bret says this isn't the first time he'll have to pound out a bully for picking on one of his brothers. When Razor Ramon steps into the ring with him at Royal Rumble, he will show he's not just a good wrestler, but he's a tough fighter, and that he will pound the daylights out of him.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Butch Banks and Rock Werner. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from the Steiners. Scott says they don't know if WWF is ready for them, but at Royal Rumble, The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) will know. Rick says that they've made their New Year's resolutions, and The Beverly Brothers aren't going to like them. After the match, Raymond Rougeau finally meets up with the clown that has shown up as of late, and tries to interview him.
Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Raw for the nights of January 11th and January 18th at the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York. Also, WWF hits the Meadowlands Arena this afternoon when Razor Ramon faces Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect tells Razor Ramon that he thinks he is cool and "oozing machismo," but Perfect tells him what he is oozing stinks while he is oozing perfection. Anyone who has been in the ring with him knows he is the greatest, and when Razor Ramon gets in the ring thinking he is tough, he will get nicked, because nobody beats Mr. Perfect...nobody. We then hear from Shawn Michaels, who is defending the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty. He tells Jannetty that he reeks of jealousy. He cannot blame him, but there is a lot to be jealous of, as he is the hottest dude in the WWF, the Intercontinental Champion, he is rich, good-looking, and has it all. Meanwhile, Jannetty has nothing, and that is not going to change. Jannetty says this is a good opportunity for him, as he has a shot at Shawn Michaels - something he has wanted for a long time - as well as the Intercontinental Championship.

Prime Time Players - Prime Time Wrestling recap for January 4, 1993
Tonight's episode is a special one-hour edition of Prime Time Wrestling, which celebrates some of the best moments of the show's history. Gorilla Monsoon accuses Bobby "The Brain" Heenan of being the direct cause of the show's demise, and that it makes him glad that Vince McMahon has decided that Heenan will not be involved in the show that is taking Prime Time's place: Monday Night Raw. Heenan says he wants to be a part of it as he is "Mr. Television," and that they gave him a chance with The Bobby Heenan Show, which only lasted four episodes. We then see a moment from that show's brief history, where a belly dancer stands on Jamison Winger's back and dances on him.
The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Virgil and "El Matador" Tito Santana.
Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan talk about Royal Rumble, where the winner gets a shot at the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 9. Monsoon says that Heenan puts his money on Razor Ramon winning the WWF Championship in his match against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Vince calls Heenan out on "not being fair to Flair." We then look back at the time that Bobby Heenan got blown up with dynamite on the set of a Western movie.
"Terrific" Terry Taylor beats Dale Wolfe.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan tells Mr. Perfect that he has heard him asking questions of the other wrestlers about Narcissus, and says that comparing Mr. Perfect to Narcissus would be like comparing ice cream to horse manure. He says horse manure has its place in this world, even perfect horse manure, but Narcissus is so beyond perfect that he could very well be from another galaxy. He says that when he unleashes Narcissus at Royal Rumble, even Perfect will be convinced that Narcissus is from another world.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells Razor Ramon that they have made their match for the WWF Championship personal after attacking his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Hart says that if Razor wanted his attention, he's got it, and promises Razor that the Hart family will get its revenge.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage, The Undertaker, "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase, Irwin R. Schyster, Mr. Perfect, Bob Backlund, The Beserker, Yokozuna, Tatanka, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The King" Jerry Lawler, Earthquake, Carlos Colon, Crush, Papa Shango, and Rick "The Model" Martel are confirmed for the Royal Rumble match.
Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Jimmy Hart are excited that they are in the Royal Rumble match, as "twenty-eight different tag teams are in the ring at the same time, excluding themselves." DiBiase says that they both think they're the best, and if it's just the two of them in the ring, then may the best man win. Either way, the money and the gold will all be in Money Inc.
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair says he won it last year to become the WWF Champion, and this year, he plans to do it again as he comes for Mr. Perfect.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) tell The Beverly Brothers (Blake and Beau Beverly) that they have the privilege of facing them at their very first Royal Rumble, and that when they're done, the pleasure will be all theirs. They won't take The Beverly Brothers lightly, and they'll be the only ones celebrating when the match is over.
Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan talk about Royal Rumble elimination strategies, ponder how Yokozuna will be eliminated, and look back at the time when Heenan commandeered a yacht and tried to convince Monsoon that he owned it.
Shawn Michaels beats Skinner.
Tickets are now available for next week's Monday Night Raw.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan says he'll think of something to be at next week's Monday Night Raw, and Vince McMaon and Gorilla Monsoon would like to see how he does, especially when he "leaves his brand on just about everything he has participated him" and has a certain smell to him. Heenan says that smell is "like fine wine." Monsoon brings up the time that Heenan made wine with Andre the Giant, saying that he even messed that up, and Heenan doesn't want the footage shown. Unfortunately for Heenan, that footage is shown.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Red Tyler and W.T. Jones in a replay from Wrestling Challenge.
Vince McMahon thanks the fans' support for Prime Time Wrestling through the years before annoucing the premiere of Monday Night Raw. Heenan says he'll be there at Raw somehow, then Jamison Winger - Heenan's assistant from The Bobby Heenan Show - shows up from out of nowhere and awards him with an ear of corn from out of his jacket as a "Corny Award" for being so corny, and tells him he has some macaroni as well, in case he wants that. The thought of where the corn and macaroni has been makes Heenan want to throw up, and he immediately runs off the set as Vince bids the viewers farewell one last time.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 2, 1993
Mr. Perfect beats The Berzerker. During the match, The Berzerker tries to cut Mr. Perfect's head off with his sword but fails. Also during the match, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up and tries to distract Mr. Perfect despite referees keeping him out of the ring, and The Berzerker takes advantage a few times. After the match, Mr. Perfect drop kicks The Berzerker out of the ring.
During the Update, we hear from Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who tells Mr. Perfect that he has a high opinion of himself by calling himself a perfect athlete and wrestler. He says that when "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is done with him, he will be flawed, scarred and tarnished. That is why he will soon unveil at Royal Rumble someone who is "beyond perfect" who not only has a high opinion of himself but is also honestly in love with himself. When Mr. Perfect feasts his eyes on the person he unveils, he will look back and say he was not perfect at all, and that he did not measure up without the influence of Bobby Heenan. Heenan says Perfect will wish he could look like "Narcissus." He says that at Royal Rumble, the mouths of every man, woman and child will drop along with the drape.
We see an advertisement for the IcoPro professional bodybuilding program.
Yokozuna beats George Anderson. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Earthquake, who says Yokozuna is coming into the Royal Rumble match as the biggest man and that he will make sure that Yokozuna does not win.
Sean Mooney advertises the January 11th and January 18th shows for Monday Night Raw in the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. It is announced that the WWF will be the first sports-entertainment group to aid the food crisis in Somalia, and will donate a minimum of $100,000 to the Somalia Relief Fund. Proceeds from the January 29th show in Madison Square Garden will be donated to the American Red Cross to send medicine, food and relief supplies for the starving in Somalia. Sean Mooney acts that fans send donations to the Somalia Relief Fund at P.O. Box 9131, Church Street Station, New York, NY, 10256. Mooney then advertises the Madison Square Garden show's main event for the WWF Championship between Bam Bam Bigelow and Bret "Hit Man" Hart. We hear from Bret, who says that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. He says Bam Bam is one of the biggest, and he will fall by the wayside with the rest. He knows Bam Bam Bigelow has been wiping out opponents one after another since he showed up, but that does not mean he cannot get the Sharpshooter around him. Bret says he is famous for being the greatest and best technical wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation, which is why will he be and stay champion after January 29th. He says Bam Bam Bigelow may have faced a lot of wrestlers, but he has not faced a wrestle quite like the excellence of execution.
We get a sneak peek of the premier of WWF Mania with some footage of Razor Ramon attacking "The Rocket" Owen Hart in a locker room.
Marty Jannetty beats Tom Stone. During the match, the clown returns with a bucket, and drinks a cup of water from it. After the match, Marty Jannetty and the clwon meet again, but this time there is no water in the bucket when the clown proceeds to douse Jannetty again.
Damian Demento beats Mitch Bishop. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a picture of the clown from earlier, saying the voice Damien Demento is listening and talking to is really the clown.
We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who calls Razor Ramon out for attacking his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart and getting his attention. He says that their match for the WWF Championship has now gotten real personal as a result, and he promises that the Hart family will get its revenge. The following Superstars are announced for the Royal Rumble match: "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The Undertaker, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Irwin R. Schyster, Mr. Perfect, Bob Backlund, The Berzerker, Yokozuna, Tatanka, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The King" Jerrly Lawler, Earthquake, Carlos Colono, Crush, Papa Shango, and "The Model" Rick Martel. DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster are looking forward to the Royal Rumble match, which has 28 tax cheats (excluding the two of them), and a shot at the WWF Champion. Should they both be the final two, the better man will win, but the money and the WWF Championship will all go to them. Flair says that he won it all last year and won the vacant WWF Championship in an hour and ten minutes, and this year, he'll be coming for everyone again. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), soon to be facing The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) at Royal Rumble, say that the pleasure will be all theirs, as they will not take them lightly and they will be the only ones celebrating when the match is over.
Crush beats Dave Sigfrids with the Cranium Crusher. During the match, the clown comes back and squirts water at people in the aisle. We also see pre-recorded comments from Crush, who wishes everyone a happy new year as he says the Royal Rumble match is his chance to prove he wants to be on top in the World Wrestling Federation. After the match, Crush meets the clown, who shoots a yo-yo into his face only to be grabbed by the arm by Crush as he hits some kids with it. Crush almost breaks his arm, but gives the clown a stern warning.

Mr. Perfect will have to prove to him that he is indeed perfect. Also, Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty. We hear from Jannetty, who says it is a great opportunity for him because he gets a shot at Shawn, which he has wanted for a long time. He says there is nothing anybody can do to stop him from taking Shawn's title as well as his career.
'Next week: Bam Bam Bigelow! The Undertaker! Kamala! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)!
Raymond Rougeau interviews Crush, who says he knows a few things about clowns, and that his grandfather was a clown who was fun to be around and loved to make people laugh. He says that the clown seen in recent week only wants to hurt people, and that when he started messing with the kids, he crossed a line. He hopes that the clown takes his advice.
During the Update, we hear from Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who tells Mr. Perfect that he has a high opinion of himself by calling himself a perfect athlete and wrestler. He says that when "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is done with him, he will be flawed, scarred and tarnished. That is why he will soon unveil at Royal Rumble someone who is "beyond perfect" who not only has a high opinion of himself but is also honestly in love with himself.

After the match, Crush meets the clown, who shoots a yo-yo into his face only to be grabbed by the arm by Crush as he hits some kids with it. Crush almost breaks his arm, but gives the clown a stern warning.

Raymond Rougeau interviews Crush, who says he knows a few things about clowns, and that his grandfather was a clown who was fun to be around and loved to make people laugh.
