Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 15, 1993

Harvey Wippleman says Tatanka has been undefeated since he came to the World Wrestling Federation, but that will all come to a screeching halt, as he is minutes away from facing defeat at the hands of Giant Gonzales. Tatanka says Giant Gonzales will find why "The Native American" fears no man.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Mark Ming and Jim Armstrong. During the match, it is announced that the WWF Posters Six, featuring a poster of The Steiner Brothers, is now available.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 17th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Bret "The Hit Man" will face Bam Bam Bigelow, Kamala will face Yokozuna, and Mr. Perfect and a host of other WWF Superstars will be there. Okerlund also advertises a show for the Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, June 12th, where Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, The Undertaker squares off with Giant Gonzales, and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger faces Mr. Perfect. Okerlund interviews Mr. Perfect for Face To Face, and says he knows about the metal plate in his forearm and will continue to challenge him. He says that Luger will not be able to blindside him or beat him in the ring, and tells Luger he is looking at the ultimate wrestler who will not only teach him a wrestling lesson, but maybe even use his metal plate in his forearm against him. Also as part of Face To Face, Okerlund also interviews Shawn and Razor. Shawn says they are not going to mess up their own faces, and Razor says there will be a lot of girls there. Razor tells Shawn to go take the fat ones, as he always gets the fat ones.

Mr. Hughes beats Bobby Young. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Reverend Slick, who says that he has always prided himself in his ability to recognize raw talent, and says there is so much about Mr. Hughes that he likes. He says that Mr. Hughes is going in the wrong direction, and wants to help him channel those energies into a positive light.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) say there is nothing like a scrap to get a man's attention, and they plan to head to the WWF for some tag team excitement.

Bob Backlund beats Terry Zeller.

Boni Blackstone interviews "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Blackstone focuses on Luger's forearm, and mentions the metal plate, and Luger says that nothing more has to be said on the fairness of him competing with the plate in his forearm. As for referees and officials wanting him to use a protective padding on it, he says that nobody should be stirring anything that shouldn't be stirred up, and that the WWF's decision is final. As for the fans demanding that the plate be covered up, Lex Luger goes up and says he doesn't care what anybody thinks and that nobody tells him what he can or cannot do, as he is going to the top of the World Wrestling Federation, and that he will knock out ans step on anyone who gets in his way, plate or no plate, including Bret "Hit Man" Hart, for he will become the man in the WWF and he does not care who he has to knock out to do it.

Virgil beats Jose Martinez.

Shawn Michaels beats Billy Jones. During the match, Shawn Michaels comically sits next to ring announcer Mike McGuirk with his arm across her shoulders for a few seconds.

On the King of the Ring Report, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan, who says that as he puts his ears down to the sands, he hears the fear in Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna's walk as they strut through Japan, as they realize that he has had it with Hollywood and is returning to the ring, and he is going to prove that winning the WWF Championship was no fluke and that Hulkamania will live forever. Hogan says that he has been on the brink of disaster, drinking his own sweat waiting for WWF President Jack Tunney's decision whether or not to strip him of the title, and even if Tunney stripped him of the title, he would rip it right back off Yokozuna's waist. It is then announced that Bret Hart will be facing Razor Ramon first in the King of the Ring. Razor Ramon says that Bret is a loser, while he is on a roll. He has carved up one opponent, and Bret will be next. We find out that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Bam Bam Bigelow in the tournament, then hear from "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, who is also in the tournament. Luger says that now that he has qualified for the tournament, the winner is just a foregone conclusion; however, he will not ruin the suspense, as they have trouble finding him an opponent, who will face a sound, humiliating defeat just like all the rest. This week on Wrestling Challenge, Doink and Mr. Perfect will have a re-match for a slot in the tournament, while here on Superstars, Tatanka will face Giant Gonzales for a slot.

Tatanka beast Giant Gonzales by disqualification and qualify for the King of the Ring tournament after Gonzales shoves the referee down. Gonzales then proceeds to choke out Tatanka, then chases another referee out of the ring.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - where Crush will face Doink, "Macho Man" goes up against Giant Gonzales and The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) with the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line and Sgt. Slaughter as special guest referee. We hear from Hogan and Brutus. Brutus says that he is not worried about Money Inc., as Sgt. Slaughter can toss both of them out with one hand and because The Mega Maniacs are the better team. The only thing he is worried about is what kind of haircut he will give Sgt. Slaughter if he gives up. Hogan says they might as well give him a Hulk Hogan haircut, and says that now that he has the WWF Championship, he is worried about how "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart will be able to hold three belts. He then tells Money Inc. to get ready to file bankruptcy, as they have seized Hart and they will seize all their assets. We then hear from Money Inc. as part of Face To Face. I.R.S. takes the time to make a formal apology to Sgt. Slaughter, and asks that Sgt. Slaughter call the match down the middle, as they take good care of their friends. DiBiase, on the other hand, feels the match should not even be taking place, as The Mega Maniacs got disqualified at WrestleMania 9.

Next week: The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) debut! Bam Bam Bigelow! "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Adam Bomb debuts! Crush vs. Shawn Michaels in a King of the Ring qualifying match!

Shawn Michaels says that next week, there will be a non-title match between him and Crush to see who qualifies for the King of the Ring tournament. He says that since he is WWF Intercontinental Champion, he does not have to qualify, as he is already the king. He says that Crush will soon find out that being big does not make you good; instead, being good makes you good. Crush tells Shawn that he keeps telling everyone about how good he is, and says he is good for nothing. He may have him in a non-title match, but this match is important and dictate who goes on to the tournament. He will crush Shawn and prove that he is both big and good.
