Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 22, 1993

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Dwayne Gill and Chris Duffy.

It is announced on Update that Razor Ramon will have a special announcement next week on Raw.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Jerry Seavey. Before the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler announces that he will be doing his own interview segment known as "The King's Court," and his first guest will be Giant Gonzales (and Harvey Wippleman) next week. Also, Bam Bam Bigelow brings a plastic bag with a snippet of Tatanka's red hair with him, and puts it in his mouth as he hits Seavey with the top rope headbutt.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 31st at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face Yokozuna and Bam Bam Bigelow. Razor Ramon, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Marty Jannetty will also be on the card. Okerlund also advertises a show for the Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, June 12th, where Shawn Michaels faces Razor Ramon (this time without a title on the line), The Undertaker squares off with Giant Gonzales, and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger faces Mr. Perfect. Okerlund interviews Luger and Mr. Perfect for Face To Face. Perfect and Luger make fun of each other's faces with horse puns when Okerlund says there will be no horsing around. Luger then brags about knocking Mr. Perfect unconscious, and Perfect tells Luger he will be ready for him at Madison Square Garden, saying he will be perfect. Luger says he will be perfectly awful, and says Perfect will suffer another big defeat from him. Luger, when told by Okerlund that his fan club will be at Madison Square Garden, has no idea what Okerlund is talking about, much to the amusement of Mr. Perfect.

Crush and Shawn Michaels fight to a double count-out, with neither man advancing in the King of the Ring tournament. Nevertheless, Crush puts Shawn in the Cranium Crusher.

On the King of the Ring Report, Hulk Hogan - on the set of Thunder At Paradise with Jimmy Hart - asks WWF President Jack Tunney is going to do after he presses Yokozuna to the mat. He simply asks to allow him to bring his motorcycle and tie Yokozuna to it so he can drag him around town to see if there is doubt in anybody's mind about him and whether or not Hulkamania will live forever. He says his power is felt through the Hulkamaniacs as well as the credo of his training. Long after he is dead and gone, a Hulkamaniac will hold his title, but for now, Yokozuna will feel his power. "Mean" Gene Okerlund also announces a 8-man tag team match between the group of The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and the group of Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) at King of the Ring. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that his confidence is growing as #1 seed in the tournament He looks forward to beating Razor Ramon to prove that he is not a beaten man and that he will shoot back up to the top and become King of the Ring. He feels stronger, better and a little bit meaner. It is also announced that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Bam Bam Bigelow in the tournament, and that Tatanka and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will also meet in the first round. This week on Wrestling Challenge, Kamala meets Mr. Hughes in a qualifier, while Mr. Perfect and Doink will have a rematch for a slot for the second time on Raw. Doink says Mr. Perfect likes to run away from him some reason, but this time, there must be a winner.

Johnny Polo tells the fans to get ready for an explosion on the video screen.

The debuting Adam Bomb - managed by Johnny Polo - beats Bert Centeno.

In a public service message from the World Wrestling Federation, we hear a poem from 4th grader Jasmine McNeill of P.S. 384 in Brunswick, New York, who says that there is no hope with dope. The Undertaker suddenly pops up after the poem is over, saying "There's no hope with dope."

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats The Brooklyn Brawler.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey tonight - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - where The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Tatanka will face Razor Ramon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face Giant Gonzales, and The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) face 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 see an interview with The Mega Maniacs from Okerlund, where Hulk Hogan brags about winning the WWF Championship and saying the tag titles are next. He says that the titanium steel mask built for Brutus kept him from being the weak link in the team like Money Inc. anticipated, and punches at it only to hurt his hand. Brutus tells Hogan not to hurt himself, as he and Jimmy Hart need him to win the big one. Hogan says they will rock and roll throughout the night, and that the tag team titles are theirs. Okerlund interviews Crush, who will face Doink that night, for Face To Face. He says that at the Meadowlands, the fans like to get as crazy as he does, and tells Doink to bring his clone to the ring tonight.

Coming soon to Super Nintendo on June 8th: WWF Royal Rumble!

Next week: A special interview with Sensational Sherri! Tatanka! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Yokozuna!
