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.

Next time on Raw: a 16-man battle royal and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake takes on "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase!
