Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for March 27, 1993

Crush beats Lee Armstrong with the Cranium Crusher. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Doink, who says he's done some parties in his time, but next week, WrestleMania 9 is the biggest of all, and he has been gifted with some of the best toys in the world. He tells Crush that he has a big surprise for him.

We see the music video for "WrestleMania."

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan is seen at a lumber yard. He says that the last time he had a chance to talk to the fans, he was sitting at home, licking his wounds and feeling sorry for himself. He listened to what his father and his wife Debra had to say, and one night, it hit him. He had to kick himself in the pants and pull himself up by the bootstraps, and he decided to take on Yokozuna again. His mission now is to avenge himself, his family and his flag with his brand-new American-made 2x4, as this is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat two unnamed opponents. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Rick says they know The Headshrinkers don't care about whether or not they hurt their opponents as that is right up their alley. At WrestleMania 9, they will all know where they stand. Scott says that if The Headshrinkers know any prayers, they had better start saying them.

Sean Mooney advertises the Raw tapings for April 26th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York, as well as WrestleMania 9. We hear from Reverend Slick and Kamala. Reverend Slick says Bam Bam Bigelow calls himself a beast. He says that Kamala is a kinder, gentler human being, but he knows how to dig down deep and become a ferocious beast himself. He says Kamala has to become a beast in order to beat Bigelow. Shawn Michaels says the fans of the WWF are riding so high as they believe there is a man in the WWF who has what it takes to knock him off the top in the form of Tatanka. Shawn says Tatanka has the shot he has been waiting for, but Tatanka is living in a dream world and is about to be smacked back into reality when he finds out why he is the WWF Intercontinental Champion.

We see the contract signing between Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna for the WWF Championship match at WrestleMania 9, courtesy of Wrestling Challenge. WWF President Jack Tunney is there to moderate the contract signing. Yokozuna is introduced, followed by Bret. Yokozuna and Bret stare down, then eventually sit on opposite ends of the table. Bret and Yokozuna sign their contracts, and Yokozuna stares at Bret while signing while Bret's eyes are on his contract. Both men then stand up as Mr. Fuji says that this is official and that Yokozuna will become the new WWF Champion while saying "Sayonara" to Bret. Bret tells Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna to keep one thing in mind: he will be completely in focus and 100%, and that they will find out why he is the WWF Champion. Yokozuna then shoves the table into Bret, then shoves him to the mat and stomps him near the corner before hitting him with a Banzai Drop. Referees and officials rush in to command Yokozuna to leave the ring, and despite being hurt, Bret is briefly able to get up before falling down again. Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna then leave the ring, then Bret tries to get on his feet again as he picks up the WWF Championship. He does, but it obvious that he is hurt.

The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) beat Barry Hardy and Dwayne Gill.

We see a tribute video for the very first inductee into the WWF Hall of Fame, the late Andre the Giant.

During the WrestleMania 9 report, we hear from Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase and Irwin R. Schyster) DiBiase says Hulk Hogan may have his fans fooled, but not them, and that while he may be avenging Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, he is also taking the WWF tag team titles away from them as well as the praise, glory and adulation that comes with them to feed his ego, and says that isn't happening. Irwin R. Schyster says they have a pocket full of kryptonite in the form of a armor piercing briefcase. We then hear from The Megamaniacs (Brutus and Hogan). Brutus says that if Money Inc. thinks they can hurt him, they have another thing coming as Hulk Hogan tried to break his mask with a machine gun and an M-67 Abrams tank, but nothing happened. Hogan tells the camera to get a look at the pump in his python, and Jimmy Hart says it is because he puts kryptonite in his cereal every morning. Hogan says he wishes he had Superman here, as he would beat him in an arm wrestling match. Hogan says he is back because the little Hulkamaniacs believed in him and lived through him, and became his heroes while he was gone as they set the stage for what is about to happen. He says Hulkamania has gained power and momentum, and it will become greater than ever. We also hear from Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Bearer tells Harvey Wippleman that WrestleMania 9 is a week away, and he can already smell the formaldehyde and Giant Gonzales is gone. The Undertaker says the sands now fall rapidly through the hourglass, and soon Giant Gonzales will take his rightful place along with the other battered corpses in the graveyard, and he will possess his soul.

"The Narcissist" Lex Luger beats an unnamed opponent. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Mr. Perfect, who says that Luger will realize there is only one Mr. Perfect after WrestleMania, and that is him.

Sean Mooney advertises the Raw tapings for April 26th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York, as well as WrestleMania 9. We hear from Razor Ramon, who says that WrestleMania 9 is right around the corner, and tells Bob Backlund that he is the past and to look at his future. We also hear from Crush, who says that the time has come, and while Doink has tricks up his sleeves and is one heck of a wrestler. He tells him to bring his tricks and his skills, as he will take him for a ride and show him who the real pineapple head is.

We see a replay of the aftermath of the contract signing between Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna to end the show.

Next week: Giant Gonzales, Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Shawn Michaels are live from Las Vegas!
