Live on the 4th of July, The WWF Stars and Stripes Challenge will take place. Can anyone slam Yokozuna?
Vince McMahon interviews Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna in the ring. Mr. Fuji is accepting all takers for his challenge to see if anyone can slam Yokozuna as he continues to discredit America.

Yokozuna says that American athlets are like American products: they're no good.

IRS says The Steiner Brothers' (Rick and Scott Steiner) tag team title reign won't last long, and that they threw in a rematch clause when they signed the contract to face The Steiners. Ted DiBiase then makes fun of Razor Ramon losing his money to The 1-2-3 Kid, saying Ramon is stupid for walking out on national television against "a virtual nobody," not beating him, losing his cool and trying to bribe The Kid for a return match. The crowd chants "Razor" at this point, and DiBiase tells Razor to go back to the same school as the Steiners so that they can have three Steiner brothers: Moe, Larry and Curly. When Vince says if they're scared of the Steiners, they say they're not shaking in their boots and that they're not hard to find.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for June 12, 1993
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat "Iron" Mike Sharpe and Ralph LaRue.
Last Sunday in Albany, New York, Shawn Michaels regained the WWF Intercontinental Championship thanks to a new bodyguard who is taller than he is. Because of this, his match against Crush at King of the Ring will now be for the Intercontinental title. We hear from Crush, who says that thanks to Shawn, he cannot be King of the Ring, but now he has a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, and no bodyguard can stop him. Meanwhile, Shawn - who is seen with the new bodyguard - says he cannot bask in the glory of being a two-time Intercontinental Champion thanks to WWF President Jack Tunney making his match against Crush at King of the Ring for the title, and says him being the Intercontinental Champion will not change when he beats Crush.
We see pre-recorded comments from The 1-2-3 Kid, who says that last Monday night, Razor Ramon offered him $7500. That is more money than he has ever seen in his life and could take care of the bills. He says that money may be important to Razor, but to him, family is the most important thing, and if something happened to him, he wouldn't know what his family would do. He declines Razor's third offer.
Before the next match, Bret "Hit Man" Hart appears on the video screen and asks Razor Ramon what makes him thinks he stands one iota of a chance against him at King of the Ring when he was recently beaten by The 1-2-3 Kid. He says that when he steps into the ring with him at King of the Ring, he will beat him 1...2...3. He then leads a "1-2-3" chant to get under Razor's skin as the match begins.
Razor Ramon beats Bert Centeno.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York on Tuesday night, June 29th. Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Doink, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and a host of others will be there. He also interviews tonight's show at Madison Square Garden. Razor Ramon will face Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect goes up against "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, and Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka will square off in the squared circle tonight. As part of Face To Face, he interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertaker in one corner and Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales in the other. Harvey Wippleman announces that tonight will be the greatest night in Giant Gonzales' night, as tonight, he will make history in front of all "the New York Yankee trash" when he puts The Undertaker out of the World Wrestling Federation, and Okerlund can take that all the way to the blood bank. Bearer, excited by the word "blood," says that there will be blood tonight when The Undertaker rips Giant Gonzales' eyes out and sticks them into the sockets of his dead skull. The Undertaker says that as he and Bearer stand in the comfortable confines of the dark side, they pondered what they would bring to New York. They decided it would be death, darkness and destruction. He also interviews Shawn Michaels, who brags about being WWF Intercontinental Champion again.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Mike Bell. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a hand giving a thumbs up with a no symbol over it over a freeze frame of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan's 2x4.
Boni Blackstone interviews Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji says that this Sunday night, Yokozuna will take back the WWF Championship that Hogan stole from Yokozuna, and insists he issued no challenge whatsoever at WrestleMania 9. He says Japanese people all over the world will rejoice when a fattened-up 550-pound Yokozuna - who eats eight to twelve meals a day consisting of 30-40 pounds of rice and 60-80 pounds of steak, fish and chicken - flattens Hogan on the canvas and regains the title as Hogan screams for mercy and all the little Hulkamaniacs cry. He says that the day Yokozuna becomes the WWF Champion will become a national holiday of Japan.
The Undertaker beats PJ Walker. During the match, it is announced that The Undertaker is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine. At the end of the match, Giant Gonzales and Harvey Wippleman approach the ring, and Giant Gonzales gets in the ring and brawls with The Undertaker. Mr. Hughes gets into the ring and plants Paul Bearer into the mat before Harvey Wippleman takes the urn in Paul Bearer's possession and hands it to Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes then takes the urn and attacks The Undertaker from behind with it.
During the King of the Ring, i t is reported that The Undertaker struggled to his feet and carried Paul Bearer to the backstage area during the commercial break. We hear from Hulk Hogan, who says that this Sunday night, it all comes to a head and destiny meets him. He will face the biggest challenge of his career. He says that finely tuned guitars and fine-feeling women turned him on, but in the twilight of his career, spending time with his family is what turns him on these days. He also says that walking that fine razor's edge that separates greatness from disaster is what really turns him on, and he gets to walk the edge this Sunday, and says the 24-inch pythons are ready for the challenge. This Sunday, we will find out if it is Pearl Harbor all over again, if Hulkamania lives forever and what side of the fence everyone is on. When he steps foot into the ring, the strongest force in the universe will get ready to take over until the end of time. We also learn that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R.

Okerlund interviews The Steiner Brothers, and Rick says they have worked hard and will find out who the best tag team is. Scott says Money Inc. is a great tag team, and even though they are the champions, they are the best team in the WWF, and Nassau Coliseum is the time to put up or shut up. If he gets the opportunity to hit the Frankensteiner, he and Rick will become the new tag team champions. Also on that night, Crush will face Doink, and Okerlund interviews them for Face To Face. Crush is looking forward to this more than anything in his life, thanks to the concussion followed by the two Doinks. Doink tells him he forgot the defeat.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night, June 7th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises a show for the Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, June 12th, with $2 off for all children under 12, and announces that Razor Ramon will face Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect goes up against "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, and Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka will square off in the squared circle that night. We also hear from The Undertaker with Paul Bearer and Giant Gonzales with Harvey Wippleman. Wippleman says The Undertaker will end up flat on his back when he faces Giant Gonzales again, as his career will come to an end and that there is nothing The Undertaker or Paul Bearer can do about it. Bearer says that Wippleman made the fatal mistake and that it will be the end of Giant Gonzales, as The Undertaker will pull out his eyeballs and spit into the open eyesockets of his soul. The Undertaker syas that the only question left to be answered is what will be done with the rotting carcass of Giant Gonzales.
Next week: Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster)! The Undertaker! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! A special interview with Yokozuna! Razor Ramon!
