Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for July 31, 1993

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat The Brooklyn Brawler and Brian Costello. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler uses the Magistrator to show that Mabel reminds him of Shamu.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13th. 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. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The 1-2-3 Kid will face Doink, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler, and Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Okerlund interviews Doink and The 1-2-3 Kid for Face To Face. The Kid says it will be an honor to be at Madison Square Garden, as he never got to go there growing up. He has always wanted to go there to see something, but now he gets to perform in it. Doink laughs, says all he sees in The 1-2-3 Kid is a kid. Okerlund also interviews "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says he does not like how "The King" Jerry Lawler is acting, especially when Lawler is being a jerk and he is not allowed to physically attack him on commentary. He has called up WWF President Jack Tunner, and now he gets his wish on August 13th. He will do Bret "Hit Man" Hart a favor and slap Lawler in the face.

Adam Bomb beats Tony DeVito.

We see footage of Lex Luger traveling across America in the Lex Express.

Mr. Hughes beats Jason Headings. A black funeral wreath is brought out to ringside during the match, and Mr. Hughes destroys it after.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Dave Thornberg and Bret Tyler. Before the end of the match, Samu and Fatu beat on each other after both of their opponents are knocked unconscious during the match, then Fatu goes for the top rope splash for the win.

On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that Shawn Michaels will be defending the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, he says that what irks him is when "The King" Jerry Lawler stoops so low to the point that he drags his family into things. He does his job in the ring, but he keeps his family life separate from his work life. When Lawler went up into and humiliated his parents and also did what he did to his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, he went too far. He now looks forward to destroying Lawler at SummerSlam, and when he gets in the ring, it will look like the scaffold where members of royalty were taken and beheaded. He says Lawler will be beheaded when he wipes him out.

Mr. Perfect beats Glenn Ruth.

We see a video package of Ludvig Borga.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. Mr. Perfect faces Bam Bam Bigelow, The 1-2-3 Kid meets Bastion Booger, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) faces Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), Tatanka takes on Doink, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker team up to take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes. Okerlund then interviews Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels for Face To Face. Shawn says he never perspires, and says Razor is on a winning streak like the New York Mets have a winning streak, and he only has as much of a chance of winning the Intercontinental Championship from him as the Mets have of winning the World Series. Razor tells Shawn he is better, bigger, stronger, faster, meaner and way better looking than he is, and at Nassau Coliseum, all the ladies are coming to see him. Shawn says he has heard those claims before, and then asks why everyone else who has made those claims are not carrying the Intercontinental title. He says that being big and bad does not make you the wrestler of the '90s, and says he is far beyond everyone else in the WWF and that this is not going to change.

WrestleMania: The Album is now available in record stores everywhere. We then see the music video for "WrestleMania."

Before the next match, Bam Bam Bigelow says he cannot believe Sensational Sherri. As soon as he says she hurt Luna Vachon - who is wearing a black cast on one of her arms - Sherri sticks his tongue out at him. Bigelow says that she hurt Luna, she hurt him. He is sick and tired of having her around, and says her smirk should be knocked off of her face. When Bigelow asks "You know who you are?", Sherri slaps Bigelow, who corners her. Luna then chokes Sherri from behind. Tatanka shows up and gets the better of Bigelow, then runs to the corner to save Sherri. Sensational Sherri vs. Luna Vachon ends in a no-contest.

Next week: The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn)! Adam Bomb! Doink! Bastion Booger! Highlights of The 1-2-3 Kid vs. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase from Wrestling Challenge!

The Lex Express is coming to Pittsburgh, Detroit, Flint and Saginaw, Grand Rapids, and Chicago!
