Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 7, 1993

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn).

We see footage from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase vs. The 1-2-3 Kid from last week's Wrestling Challenge, where The 1-2-3 Kid gets an upset win on DiBiase with a crucifix pin after DiBiase performs a nonchalant pin. It is then announced that two more matches have been added to SummerSlam: Razor vs. DiBiase and The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Irwin R. Schyster. We then hear from DiBiase, who says that he has never been embarassed and humiliated as he was last week, and blames Razor for the loss. He says he has had time to formulate a way to make Razor pay and make the $10,000 The 1-2-3 Kid took from Razor look like nothing compared to what he will do to him.

Adam Bomb beats Chaz Ware.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler, and a six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled. Okerlund then interviews Bret and Yokozuna, the latter of whom is accompanied by Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Bret says the talk is over, and this Friday night he is heading into the ring to face the most dangerous wrestler of all time, and the worst part of it is that it is the most dangerous match of all. He looks forward to it, however, as this is the shot he has been looking for as Mr. Fuji cannot interfere and Yokozuna cannot run or hide. Mr. Fuji says this Friday is Friday the 13th - which is bad luck for Bret - and that Yokozuna will squash Bret until he screams in pain. Yokozuna says Bret and his family wiill say "sayonara."

We see Lex Luger and the Lex Express going across America for the Call To Action Campaign at Worcester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland.

Doink beats Joey Maggs.

On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that Lex Luger and Yokozuna will sign the contract for their match next week on Monday Night Raw. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler has underestimated him and that he has not gotten up to speed on what he can do after all he did to him. He says he will never forget what Lawler did to his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and that him embarrassing his family is what really bugged him. He says that is a line he should not have crossed, as he does not involve his family in his personal business. If Lawler wants to do that, that's fine with him, as he plans to execute him at SummerSlam like the kings of old and make sure that is the last anyone ever hears of Lawler. We then hear from Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel) and Mr. Perfect. Shawn says that he has news for Mr. Perfect: what was perfect in the past is not perfect in the '90s, and says he is perfect for the '90s and will be walking out as WWF Intercontinental Champion. Mr. Perfect says Shawn must be thinking he is something, and tells SHawn he will have to get in the ring with him and find out why he is called Mr. Perfect and why he is the greatest athlete WWF has ever produced. Also announced for the very first time for SummerSlam is a six-man tag match between the team of Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and the team of Bam Bam Bigelow and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).

We see a video package for Ludvig Borga.

"El Matador" Tito Santana beats Barry Hardy.

We see a special interview with Lex Luger. As he talks about academics, he says he never had a gung-ho dad when it came to sports, as his dad was on a music scholarship and studying to become a concert pianist when he was in college. He studied art and music in his life and stressed that on his children when they were growing up, but what he stressed must of all was academics. As Lex grew up and he wanted to take part in athletics, his dad made it crystal clear that academics were a top priority and that if he didn't get straight A's in school, he wouldn't be able to participate in athletics. His dad made it a point for him to be well-rounded, and also wanted him to take part in chorus or band. Looking back on it, it made him a more well-rounded individual, which was not a bad thing. He also talks about identity and self-esteem, saying that in his life, he used athletics as a calling card and a form of communication and acceptance, and even to this day, and even to this day, his friends are either surprised or shocked that he is a professional wrestler because he grew up shy and introverted. He remembers a time in high school when he was so shy that he never asked a girl out. He says if you excel in sports and people look at you in a certain way, being shy and introverted and quiet is considered a sign of arrogance by people who do not you. Friends who knew him learned better, but when people want to stereotype by how you look and act, they think that if you are talented at something but are shy, it means you are arrogant or stuck on yourself, which can turn into a vicious cycle. Lex feels he sometimes fight this stereotype to this day.

Bastion Booger beats Mike Bell. After the match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage steals the Magistrator, makes it "The Machostrator," and draws a cape and a crown on Bastion Booger.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. We hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The King" Jerry Lawler. Savage says Friday is his official "get back in the ring" party at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and that it will be Black Friday for Lawler. Lawler wants to know if Savage is superstitious, and tells Savage to break a bunch of mirrors to ensure he even lives to see seven more years. He says that when he gets his hand on him, he will take him into the stands where his fans are, beat him to an inch of his life and make him see starts without having to wear his star-shaped sunglasses. Savage says he can't help but Lawler, and says he will take him all the way. Lawler stands up, extends his hand, and says "May the best man win." When Savage reaches forward to shake his hand, Lawler slaps him. Savage tells Lawler that he is his at the Garden.
