Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for June 26, 1993

Harvey Wippleman announces that in a few minutes, Mr. Hughes will destroy "El Matador" Tito Santana and everything he stands for like he did The Undertaker.

Mr. Hughes beats "El Matador" Tito Santana after rolling on top of Santana, who hits a high flying cross body.

It is announced that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) have beaten Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) to become the WWF Tag Team Champions for the second time in a week at a live event in St. Louis, Missouri. Rick announces that they are new tag team champs. He say it has been a long, hard, tough road and they may have been overconfident once or twice, but they have the belts and they will keep them Scott says they've worked all their lives to be WWF Tag Team Champions, and they will work that much harder to keep them for a long, long time.

Doink quickly beats Scott Dane with the Stump Puller.

Mr. Fuji announces that The Stars and Stripes Challenge is a week away, and that Yokozuna will challenge all American professional athletes from all sports to pick him up and slam him back down. Fuji says they are making this challenge to make America look like a bunch of fools. Yokozuna says "All Americans...is weak." Fuji says only the Japanese are strong, and that Yokozuna will survive.

We see a one-screen advertisement for The Stars and Stripes Challenge.

Crush says Yokozuna is bigger than ever at 500 pounds, and that he has challenged any and all American professional athletes to body slam him on July 4th on the USS Intrepid. Crush states that he will answer The Stars and Stripes Challenge, and flexes his muscles as he tells Yokozuna to take a good, long look at his destiny.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Buddy Lane and Mike Davis.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises The Stars and Stripes Challenge at the USS Intrepid in New York City, New York on July 4th. He then advertises tomorrow night's show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The first 1,000 kids through the doors will receive a coupon for a free Dentax WWF Superstars toothbrush. Crush will face Doink, and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster). Also on that night, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Yokozuna for the WWF Championship in a return Lumberjack Match. Okerlund interviews Duggan, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Duggan says the lumberjacks surrounding the ring will be an advantage for him, as he had Yokozuna beat last time until Mr. Fuji threw salt into his eyes. Fuji says that he never threw the salt, and says Duggan ran away from Yokozuna. Duggan says the only man he is afraid of is Dad, and if he can't beat Yokozuna, he has a piece of lumber that will.

Razor Ramon vs. The 1-2-3 Kid from Raw earlier this week is replayed.

Tatanka tells Yokozuna that if he wants to issue a challenge on July 4th, then he, as the first American and a proud Native American, will accept his challenge. With the power of his people and the great spirit, he will take Yokozuna's 500 pounds and slam him through the floor.

Bastion Booger beats Virgil in a Superstars rematch.

We see another vignette for Men on a Mission (Osar, Mabel, Mo).

Boni Blackwell interviews Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow says everyone knows he is not only the biggest, the meanest or the strongest, but the best wrestler in the WWF today. He says that there is one thing people don't know, and that there is another side of him. He says he has a heart, and that every man in the world has their heart. In his heart, he has feelings and sensitivity. He says that he has found love, and that he has found someone that he is madly in love with. He introduces his "main squeeze" and his "love tick." Luna Vachon shows up, and the crowd chants "Luna-tick" after Boni Blackwell calls her one. Bam Bam says only he calls her the "tick," Luna has a body that any model would die for, a mind of Einstein, and the guts and what it takes to get the job done. Luna takes offense to the "lunatic" nickname, and says Boni is standing too close to her man. She tells Luna to take a close look at Bam Bam, and says "Arnold Schwarzenegger, eat your heart out!" before telling Mel Gibson to get out of the way before saying Bam Bam is on fire and that he makes her hot.

We see another one-screen advertisement for The Stars and Stripes Challenge.

Mr. Perfect beats Bert Centeno. During the match, it is announced that Bret "Hit Man" Hart will have a special interview next week on Superstars.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises The Stars and Stripes Challenge at the USS Intrepid in New York City, New York on July 4th. He also advertises Monday Night Raw for July 5th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Bret "Hit Man" Hart will face Mr. Hughes. He then re-advertises tomorrow night's show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Bob Backlund will face Mr. Hughes, while The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster). Okerlund then interviews both teams for Face To Face. DiBiase says that what happened to them will be called the biggest rip-off in World Wrestling Federation history. He says that The Steiners stole the belt, and tomorrow night, The Steiners will soon become the shortest-lived tag team champions in WWF history. Rick Steiner says this is a great time for him and Scott now that they have won the tag team titles, and says Money Inc. couldn't buy any guts that night. Scott says that Money Inc. was not robbed, they were Frankensteined just like everyone else.

We see the music video for "USA" by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, from WrestleMania: The Album.

Next week: Marty Jannetty! "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Adam Bomb!
