They know that they are great athletes, but this is the WWF, and that they are the #1 tag team here and that there is room for only one brother tag team. We hear from The Big Boss Man, who tells Shawn Michaels to get a good, long look at him, and that there are a few things to settle as he has kept his eye on him. He knows that Shawn likes to run people over, even going so far as not to care about Sensational Sherri, and says he will take the WWF Intercontinental Championship from him and walk away proud.
Next week: The Undertaker! Kamala! Razor Ramon! Mr. Perfect! Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Earthquake!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for February 6, 1993
The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) beat Dave Silguero and Robert Taylor. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a can of Raid on The Magistrator.
The all-new 1993 WWF Merchandise Catalog is now available in all WWF magazines and programs!
Harvey Wippleman says everyone know about "the big bomb" he talked about in the past, and tells The Undertaker that he ruined the once-mighty Kamala with what he did to him. He says that The Undertaker will be ruined by what Giant Gonzales will do to him. Giant Gonzales tells The Undertaker that now, it is his funeral.
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Rudi Flores.
Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Raw for February 22nd at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises the February 26th show at Nassau Coliseum, where Bret "Hit Man" Hart defends the WWF Championship, and The Big Boss Man - with Sensational Sherri in his corner - will face Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Yokozuna will also lock up with The Undertaker. We hear from Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Bearer says Fuji has had a number of bad experiences with The Undertaker before, and wonders why he would pit Yokozuna against him as he says the time is coming for Yokozuna to face the darkness The Undertaker says that to ascend to the top of the World Wrestling Federation, he must first pass through the gates of the dark side where he stands and decides who goes on and who rests in peace. We then hear from Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna. Mr. Fuji says Yokozuna will make The Undertaker suffer, and that he would love to see him put Yokozuna in a Tombstone Piledriver. He says that The Undertaker is powerless and useless without his urn, while Yokozuna is gifted with power who will go over him, and that The Undertaker will pay.
Royal Rumble will be available on VHS on February 11th! We then see The Narcissist pose in front of a mirror as part of a preview for the event.
Doink beats Reno Riggins with a painful roll-up pin, then hands him a lollipop balloon as he sits there dazed before popping it. During the match, it is announced that the newest episode of WWF Magazine with Razor Ramon will be at newsstands this Tuesday, and inside is an article about Doink. It is also mentioned that Crush will be back next week.
Mr. Perfect talks about how Bobby "The Brain" Heenan unveiled The Narcissist and challenged him to a match at Royal Rumble. He then opens a curtain behind to show a rather skinny guy - compared to Mr. Perfect - flexing to mock Lex Luger. Perfect then says there is only one thing missing from his physique, and it happens to be Mr. Perfect's trademark: a chop to the chest which echoes across the room and lays the guy out.
Before the next match, Raymond Rougeau interviews "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, who says he is as determined as the United States military about his chances of taking Yokozuna off his feet.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan gets Yokozuna off his feet after four tackles, much to the delight of the crowd. As Duggan celebrates with the American flag, Yokozuna takes Mr. Fuji's salt bucket and tosses the salt into Duggan's eyes as soon as he turns around, blinding him. Yokozuna then hits a belly-to-belly suplex before hitting a leg drop. Yokozuna then hits Duggan with three Bonzai Drops. Duggan is unable to move after the assault, and Fuji drapes Duggan with his American flag before Yokozuna hits the Bonzai Drop one more time before officials and referees show up to restore order. As Duggan is helped out of the ring and onto a stretcher with assistance from doctors, it is noticed that Duggan is experiencing internal bleeding. The camera then focuses on the flag that was draped over Duggan.
The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) beat Pete Christie and Bob East. During the match, it is mentioned that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) are in this Tuesday's newest edition of WWF Magazine. During the match, Pete Christie is slammed on his head during the Shaker Heights Spike.
Tatanka says thanks the fans for supporting WWF Headlock on Hunger. Donations can be made payable by check to: WWF Headlock on Hunger, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
Sean Mooney plugs the February 22nd Raw show, then plugs the Nassau Coliseum show again. We then hear from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), who tell The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) that when they faced them at Royal Rumble, they proved they were the best brother tag team in the business, and if they want another shot at them, they won't like it and won't let The Beverlys take them down. We then hear from Reverend Slick, who tells Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee that mercy and compassion have taken Kamala away from them, and that he and the fans have seen their cruel treatment of Kamala. He says darkness is in trouble, and that Kamala will have his way with Kim Chee.
Next week: Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka!
Sean Mooney announces that Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake has announced his return to the ring last week on Raw following a near-fatal parasailing accident that resulted in the restructuring of his face requiring eight steel plates and 24 screws. Despite the risk of returning to the ring, he is ready for action.
Next week: Crush! "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! Giant Gonzales in a 3-on-1 hanidcap! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Money, Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster)! An update on the condition of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 1, 1993
Tatanka beats Damien Demento.
WWF Headlock on Hunger raised $100,000 for the American Red Cross. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart presented the check on behalf of the WWF.
Vince McMahon interviews Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. It's his first appearance since his near-fatal para-sailing accident. Brutus announces that he will return to the ring soon. Vince feels his comeback is risky, especially with his total facial reconstruction. Brutus mentions his mother's battle with cancer, the recent passing of both of his parents, and his divorce before a girl kneed him in the face while para-sailing. He mentions how he heard the doctors say that he didn't have much of a chance when another hand reached out and grabbed him...the hand of Hulk Hogan, who was with him during the surgery, telling him not to give up as he and the Hulkamaniacs were behind him. Brutus goes on to say that even afterwards, Hulk was always with him. He went to Hulk with nothing left, who tells him to go for the comeback before he can even tell him his plight. He has now signed an open contract and intends to take on any and all comers.
High Energy ("The Birdman" Koko B. Ware and "The Rocket" Owen Hart) beat Skull Von Krus and "Iron" Mike Sharpe.
Doink beats Typhoon after grabbing the tights.
Vince McMahon interviews Todd Pettengill. This Saturday on WWF Mania: The Giant Gonzales!
Andre the Giant, who passed away last week, is honored with a ten-bell salute.
Yokozuna beats Bobby DeVito. During the match, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan promises via telephone to knock Yokozuna off his feet and beat him once and for all this Saturday.
Vince McMahon interviews Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), and DiBiase mocks Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake before ultimately accepting it, with DiBiase winning by coin toss. Jimmy Hart shows up and tells them not to waste their time with Beefcake as one of them might get hurt, but DiBiase and IRS say the only one getting hurt is going to be Brutus. IRS also adds to the point that Beefcake may not be paying his taxes for the last three years. DiBiase says the only asset Beefcake has left is his face, and it's pretty obvious DiBiase wants to break it.
Before the break, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger views himself in the mirror when a plus-size ring girl shows up. Lex Luger is not very happy about this.
Steve Jordan of the Minnesota Vikings introduces us to the perfect passer...Mr. Perfect. And oh boy, is he perfect.
Brutus Beefcake has accepted "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's challenge for the next episode. (Raw will be preempted by the Westminster Kennel Club dog show next week.)
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger beats Jason Knight with a pinky pin before attacking him again.
