Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for July 17, 1993

Tatanka beats Brian Costello. During the match, it is announced that Crush is convalescing at home in Kona, Hawaii after suffering a collapsed chest at The Stars and Stripes Challenge, and that a further update on Crush will be available next week.

It is announced that Lex Luger is starting a "Call To Action" Campaign to tour the United States to show what's right about America as he tries to get the fans to not only get behind him, but to tell WWF President Jack Tunney to make him #1 contender for the WWF Championship, as it is rumored that Tunney will make a decision on that next week. We then see footage of Lex Luger's bus, the Lex Express, which will be touring the United States.

Adam Bomb beats Rich Myers. During the match, it is announced that a personality profile on Adam Bomb is featured inside the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available on newsstands now.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The 1-2-3 Kid will face Doink and "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Also, Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. We then hear from Lawler and Savage at the commentary table. Lawler says Savage is not just a has-been, but a "never was," and says he will let him meet his fans up close and personal. Last time he was at Madison Square Garden, he beat Tito Santana all over the building, and he will do the same to Savage. He then tells the fans to kiss his feet, just like Savage will when the match is over. Savage says they will have a garden party, and if that August 13th will be his last day in the squared circle.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says that he, for one, cannot wait until the tax rates are raised, so that all the tax cheats out there have to pay more.

Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) beat The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) for a fourth WWF Tag Team Championship reign...almost. Irwin R. Schyster hits Scott Steiner in the back with his briefcase, allowing DiBiase to get the pinfall, but another referee shows up and explains to the referee in the match what has happened. The decision is reversed, and Money Inc. is disqualified. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships by disqualification.

On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that The Undertaker will take on Giant Gonzales in a Rest In Peace Match.

Boni Blackstone interviews Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) in the ring. DiBiase says they were robbed of the WWF Tag Team Championships to begin with, and says that The Steiner Brothers cried and whined until they got their shot and that they stole the tag team titles from the first time out. Now they have been robbed of the tag titles again. They admit to the use of the briefcase, and Irwin R. Schyster says that is convenient that another official not involved in the match costs them the tag titles. He says that nobody steals from Money Inc., especially The Steiner Brothers. DiBiase says it happens to them and nobody else, and says that WWF President Jack Tunner does not like them due to their money and the power that comes with it. He tells the Steiners that if they are the champions and wrestlers that they think they are, then they will accept their challenge for the tag team titles next week.

Me. Hughes beats Sonny Rogers. Before the match, a gentleman dressed in black delivers a funeral wreath with a black ribbon and roses to ringside. After the match, Mr. Hughes destroys the wreath and the condolences card placed with it.
br /> "Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13. A six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled for that night. Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) are interviewed again this week for Face To Face pending their Steel Cage Match for the WWF Championship. Bret says that a steel cage match is the most dangerous match of them all, and that people have been known to end their careers in them, especially if their opponent is 550 lbs. He says this kind of match requires a lot of moment, and that Yokozuna does not have the movement, the ability or the determination to beat anyone in a steel cage, especially him. Mr. Fuji tells Bret that he must have some connection with WWF President Jack Tunney to sanction a match like this and put the WWF Championship up. He then says that when Bret looks across the ring at Yokozuna, Yokozuna will have only one thing in mind: finishing him off and making him look like a pancake in a kamikaze bomb. Bret says Yokozuna won't be able to get his big butt over the cage wall or through the door, and that it's just going to be him and Yokozuna with Mr. Fuji unable to be involved.

Next week: WWF President Jack Tunney's decision on whether or not Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Lex Luger! The Lex Express' tour across America in the Call To Action campaign! Some new stars debut!

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) tells Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) that next week will be their last chance at the WWF Tag Team Championships.
