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.

Sean Mooney re-advertises the January 11th and January 18th shows for Monday Night Raw in the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), The Undertaker and Yokozuna are advertised for the shows. He then advertises the show for the Meadowlands Arena next Saturday afternoon on January 9th, where Mr. Perfect takes on Razor Ramon. Razor Ramon says the eyes and ears of the wrestling world are focused on Mr. Perfect making his return, and tells Mr. Perfect he thrives on the spotlight. 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.
