Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 16, 1993

Razor Ramon quickly beats Buck Zumhofe. During the match, it is announced that Mr. Perfect is on the cover of the current issue of WWF Magazine, and that there is an article on Razor Ramon inside.

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. Harvey Wippleman says Kamala hasn't been the same since his Casket Match against The Undertaker at Survivor Series, and that he will never be the same once Kim Chee is done with him. He also says the WWF will never be the same after he drops the big bomb.

The Nasty Boys (Knobbs and Saggs) beat two unnamed wrestlers. During the match, the clown from earlier this week, now identified as Doink, shows up with his arm in a sling and interacts with some fans near the guardrail in the aisle. We also see pre-recorded footage of The Nasty Boys saying they want Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) at Royal Rumble, and that they are confirmed for the Royal Rumble match.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart is on the cover of WWF Wrestling Spotlight, available on newsstands this Tuesday.

Raymond Rougeau interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Shawn says that "Sensational" Sherri Martel will be in the corner of a guy who she is madly and passionately in love with - him, of course - and not in the corner of a man who viciously attacked her with a mirror like Marty Jannetty. 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 also see pre-recorded footage where Crush says he is training harder and stronger than before for the Royal Rumble match. After the match, Crush confronts Doink, who tries to hand him a flower and asks Crush not to hit him. Crush takes it and interacts with fans, then Doink rips off a cast and reveals there is a plastic arm underneath, and beats Crush with it from behind until he is unconscious. Referees and officials have to get Doink away from Crush and to the back. An EMT crew and ambulance is conveniently at the arena to place Crush on a stretcher.

Sean Mooney announces a show at San Jose State University on January 25th, where Earthquake will take on Yokozuna, Big Boss Man and Tatanka join forces against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships and Bret "Hit Man" Hart faces Bam Bam Bigelow. 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.

It is reported that Crush has regained consciousness on his way to a hospital.

Yokozuna quickly beats an unnamed wrestler. Before the match begins, we see pre-recorded comments from Mr. Fuji, who says that Yokozuna will win the Royal Rumble match. After the match, it is announced that Crush is fully mobilized and that he is about to be placed in an ambulance.

It is announced that The Undertaker, The Beserker, Papa Shango, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Irwin R. Schyster, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The King' Jerry Lawler, Carlos Colon, Virgil, Bob Backlund, Yokozuna, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Tatanka, "The Model" Rick Martel, Earthquake, Brian Knobbs and Jerry Saggs, The Headshrinkers, Mr. Perfect, Typhoon, The Great Tenryu, "El Matador" Tito Santana, Repo Man, Damien Demento, Koko B. Ware and "The Rocket" Owen Hart will all be in the Royal Rumble Match. Ric Flair says that he beat 29 of the best in an hour and ten minutes last year, and that he will repeat it again this year. Bob Backlund says that he and 30 other men all want to wrestle the WWF Champion at WrestleMania 9, but he has plans of his own and that he wants to be the one to do it. Damien Demento's voices tell him that he will win the Rumble. Big Boss Man tells Bam Bam Bigelow that he is 6'7" and 330 pounds of the meanest lawman to ever walk the earth and that he won't let him run roughshod over him. At Royal Rumble, he will make Bam Bam serve hard time. During the Royal Rumble report, we learn that Crush is finally placed in a waiting ambulance. It is noted that his left hand is moving, but not much else.

Tatanka quickly beats Tom Bennett. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments where Tatanka announce he is the first Native American to participate in the Royal Rumble, and he promises that he will win the Royal Rumble match and take on the WWF Champion.

Sean Mooney says that the responds on WWF Headlock on Hunger for the Somalia Relief Fund, with WWF making the cause public in a recent press conference at Madison Square Garden, where the WWF announced that they would donate a minimum of $100,000 to the cause. All proceeds from the January 29th event at the Garden will benefit the Somalia Relief Fund. Donations can be sent to the American Red Cross Somalia Relief Fund at P.O. Box 9131, Church St. Station, New York, New York 10256. It is also announced that WWF will perform at the Oakland Coliseum Arena on Saturday night, February 13th, and that more info on that show will be available next week. We then see pre-recorded comments from Razor Ramon, who says that he is the future WWF Champion. He says he's a nice guy and will give The Undertaker and Paul Bearer at the title if he wins, and tells Bearer to bring "that big, ugly stiff" to San Jose, California because everybody knows he's not just the WWF Champion, but the people's champion.

Next week: an update on the condition of Crush!
