Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 3, 1993

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage start the show outside of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, the site of WrestleMania 9. It is announced that "The Narcissist" Lex Luger may be here later.

Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill.

"The Narcissist" Lex Luger joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage outside of Caesars Palace. He says the reflective pool and its fountains behind them are very appropriate, as Mr. Perfect will be reflecting on his career - which will no longer be perfect - when he beats him at WrestleMania 9 and Mr. Perfect realizes he has finally met his match.

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the "fountain of the gods" inside Caesars Palace. Savage immediately looks for the gift shop.

We see "Mean" Gene Okerlund interview The Mega-Maniacs (Hulk Hogan, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Jimmy Hart). Hogan says that everyone knows that the eagle is flying slowly and the flag is hanging low, but when you train, say your prayers, take your vitamins, believe in yourself and believe in him, that means you believe in the youth of America and in Hulkamania, and he cannot think of a better time that this Sunday for America to "do a 360" turn it around against Money, Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the tag team titles, so he can tell President Bill Clinton to sleep easy after Sunday. He says The Mega-Maniacs will bankrupt Money Inc. and seize all their assets before throwing them in a semi-trailer, dragging it from New York City to Las Vegas to Los Angeles while Jimmy Hart throws all the money out to ease the national deficit. Hart says he will line up all the major tag teams in the WWF, and there is no doubt in his mind that The Mega-Maniacs will wipe the floor with Money, Inc. before starting their world tour. Brutus tells Hart not to worry about him holding up his end of the bargain, as he is the detail man. When he climbs up to the top of Caesars Palace, he hopes the light bounces off the tag team belts at exactly the right angle so the light can go back to Venice Beach, California back to New York City so all the Hulkamaniacs will know that they are on the money. He then mentions the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," and says they should feed Money, Inc.'s carcasses to the lions. Hulk says "the lions" are the hungry Hulkamaniacs who cannot wait for The Mega-Maniacs to take over the WWF and run roughshod, and that Money Inc. will just be a small snack for them. He then tells everyone not to worry about Brutus' face, as he and Jimmy Hart put his face through "the Hulkamania stress test" by breaking down the Brooklyn Bridge, breaking "the coconuts" on a bull elephant, and finishing knocking down what was left of the Twin Towers, and he couldn't break Brutus' face, which he put through every test known to man, including hitting it with a metal briefcase, which he does. (Thankfully, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is wearing a mask over his face.) He then asks "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?"

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Glenn Ruth.

Vince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler interview Shawn Michaels (who is sitting in a chair above Vince and Lawler), who says that when you are the Intercontinental Champion and the sexist man alive, it only makes sense to sunbathe head and shoulders above the rest. He says that Tatanka has a loot in common with "the rest of the losers who come to Las Vegas," as they rely on luck while he relies on skill. He says that nobody who is anybody knows luck eventually runs out. Shawn says he is concerned about one thing: walking into WrestleMania with a tan line. Shawn then unbuttons his shirt to reveal the Intercontinental title underneath.

Tatanka beats Barry Hardy.

Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Rawat the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York on Monday, April 26th, and that tickets are going fast. After Sean Mooney reminds everyone to set their clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Savings Time (which happens tomorrow), we hear from Slick, who is accompanied by Kamala. Slick says that on Sunday, Bam Bam Bigelow, "The Beast From The East," will become Kamala's feast. Slick says Bam Bam has run his mouth from time to time and has not acted like a gentleman or a good sportsman, and that Kamala knows how to deal with him.

Bince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler meet back up with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who shows up with a gift bag.

Doink beats Dale Wolfe with the Stump Puller. After the match, Doink opens the gift box he came into the ring with, pulls out a pie, and smacks it right into Dale Wolfe's face.

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are near the casino as they mention the feud between The Undertaker and Giant Gonzales. Lawler says The Undertaker is just like the rest of the people in Caesars Palace, as the odds are against him and that Giant Gonzales will squeeze his neck until his eyes pop out. When then see the first meeting between the two of them at Royal Rumble.

Harvey Wippleman joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and brings out Giant Gonzales, who is in a suit and tie as Wippleman says Giant Gonzales will destroy The Undertaker once and for all. iant Gonzales tells The Undertaker that he has just rolled snake eyes.

Giant Gonzales beats Virgil, then choke slams him after the match and continues to choke Virgil out. Referees have to pull Giant Gonzales off of Virgil, and Gonzales scares them off.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat two unnamed opponents.

Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Rawat the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York on Monday, April 26th again before reminding everyone about Daylight Savings Time. We then hear from Afa and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), who are reading WWF Magazine. Afa says The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will know what they are all about and to come to fight at WrestleMania as Samu and Fatu tear up a picture of The Steiner Brothers in the magazine. They then eat the two halves of the picture before punching each other, and Afa eats the magazine.

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the Festival Fountain as a storm is about to happen. Lawler says Bret "Hit Man" Hart's WWF Championship reign is about to come to an end, and Savage thinks the statue of Baccus on the fountain is about to come alive.

The storm has passed, but the fun is just beginning at Caesars Palace. Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage remind everyone to watch WrestleMania 9 on pay-per-view. They are then joined by Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that having 550 pounds of Yokozuna on him was like having a bulldozer on him before backing up and staying there. He says Yokozuna will find out he is the excellence of execution, and that he will not be trapped in the corner like he was at the recent contract signing again. He says he is sore, and has been a little sore before. Savage tells Bret he is against all odds in his match against Yokozuna, but the fans - and Savage himself - are behind him, and now he will beat Yokozuna at WrestleMania 9 and retain the WWF Championship.

We then see a video package of Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna set to the tune of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" to close out the show.
