We see footage from last Sunday, July 4th at The Stars and Stripes Challenge at the USS Intrepid. Many American pro athletes tried, and even a few Superstars, but none could slam Yokozuna. Crush came close but was forced to put him down, and even "Macho Man" Randy Savage could not do it. All of sudden, a helicopter lands, and Lex Luger - no longer a narcissist and dressed in blue jeans and an American flag shirt - climbs out and heads to the ring. Fuji tells Luger that the contest is over, he says that ever since King of the Ring, Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna have been under his skin. He says there is nothing wrong with America, but he says there is something with "blood-sucking leeches" like Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna putting American down. Fuji spits on Luger, then Luger grabs Fuji and tosses him out of the ring. After hitting him with the steel-plated forearm, Luger picks Yokozuna up and slams him into the mat to thunderous applause.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Rock Warner and W.T. Jones. During the match, it is announced that the newest issue of WWF Magazine - with Bret Hart on the cover and photos of The Smoking Gunns inside - will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for July 19th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Men on a Mission (Mabel, Oscar, Mo) will debut there, and "The King" Jerry Lawler will host an edition of The King's Court with special guest, singer and musician Tiny Tim. Also, The Undertaker will face Mr. Hughes one-on-one. He also advertises a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13, where Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Bret "Hit Man" Hart in a Steel Cage Match. Hart and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) are interviewed for Face To Face. Hart appreciates the fact that Yokozuna was slammed on the USS Intrepid, and says it proves anything is possible. He says that Madison Square Garden is like his backyard, and a Steel Cage Match, despite being very dangerous, has to work in his favor as 550 lbs. has a lot of trouble climbing out of the cage and a lot of trouble "getting that big butt through the door." Even better, Mr. Fuji can't stick his nose in his business, as he has Yokozuna all to himself. Mr. Fuji is angry with WWF President Jack Tunney booking this match, as all Bret has to do is run away to win the title. He promises that Bret will pay.
Before the next match, Doink appears on the video screen, saying Crush is so stupid that he does not know if there is one Doink, two Doinks, four Doinks or even sixteen Doinks. As Doink speaks, Doink pops up out of the ring and stands behind Crush. The Doink on the video screen says Crush should be concerned with the Doink behind him instead. The Doink in the ring gets a cheap shot, starting the next match.
Crush beats Doink by count-out. After the match, Crush tosses Doink out of the ring when he gets back in for more, and is kept out of the ring by the referee. As Crush watches Doink leave, another Doink pops up from underneath the ring and attacks Crush from behind with a stick. The real Doink gets back in the ring, and both Doinks take the boots to Crush as referees try to stop them.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships: next week on Superstars!
Shawn Michaels beats Kevin Krueger. During the match, it is announced that an article featuring Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect is in the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available on newsstands this Tuesday.
On the SummerSlam Report, Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells "The King" Jerry Lawler that he wanted a fight and that Lawler had to start one with the Hit Man. He started a war, and he has now started a fire underneath him that only he can put out, and that Lawler started something only he can finish. Lawler may have assaulted him at King of the Ring and ruined the coronation ceremony, but when he steps in the ring with him at SummerSlam, Lawler will be in the ring with a totally different breed of cat. He will wipe Lawler out and destroy him, and he will take him to the gallows, where he will be excellently executed.
Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Chad Miller and Mitch Bishop in their WWF debut, which also debuts the rapping skills of Oscar.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13. Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty meet Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow in a six-man tag match, while "Macho Man' Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Back at the commentary table, Vince McMahon hypes the match up. Lawler says he has proved who the only king of the World Wrestling Federation and will prove it at SummerSlam, and says Savage will be a warm-up. Savage says there will be "rockin' and reelin' and dancin' on the ceilin'" at Madison Square Garden, but Lawler says he will be the party pooper. Lawler then tells all the New Yorkers to get down on their hands and knees and kiss his feet, and bow down to the real king of wrestling. He says Savage will be doing the same thing, and that he will stick his scepter so far down his throat, they will need a crane to pull it out.
Next week: Lex Luger! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster)!
