Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 21, 1993

"The King" Jerry Lawler says there is a lot of controversy as to who the real king is. He will show Bret "Hit Man" Hart who the greatest wrestler is at SummerSlam, but as fas as who the king is, he has an expert. An Elvis Presley impersonator shows up in a pink Cadillac and says that Lawler is the real deal, saying it takes a king to know a king, and that Bret is nothing but a hound dog and an impostor. Lawler tells Bret that after SummerSlam, he is going to the Heartbreak Hotel.

Marty Jannetty beats Barry Horowitz. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Ludvig Borga, who tells Jannetty he will bring "pain, pain, and it's not gonna go away."

Ray Rougeau advertises a show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. 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, Mr. Perfect faces Bam Bam Bigelow, 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. Rougeau then interviews Razor and Shawn (accompanied by Diesel) for Face to Face. Shawn says he tried to talk Razor out of the match, but he didn't want to take the title, and now he is putting the title up at Nassau Coliseum. He tells Razor to comb his hair with a pork chop and wear all his gold, because that is as good as he is going to look all night. Razor admits Shawn is smooth and attractive, but when he steps in the ring with him, talking will not be enough and Shawn will be slapped around before he is hoisted high into the air and dropped onto his head. Shawn tells Razor he is tough, but he is the one with the gold and he earned it, and he can keep a title without getting his face. Razor tells Shawn "Don't sing it. Bring it." Shawn says he will be ready, willing and waiting. Razor says he will be, too.

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Dan Dubiel and Scott Despres. During the match, Despres breaks a pinfall by Pierre, and Pierre makes him pay for it with a double-team maneuver just like he and Pierre did to Dubiel.

Lex Luger and The Lex Express in Chicago, Illinois (where he met Bo Jackson and threw the first pitch for the Chicago White Sox) and Madison, Wisconsin.

We see Lex Luger talk about college, where he choose to play football until he got into the wrong crowd and made a lot of mistakes to the point that he had to leave the football team for disciplinary reasons, which forced him to mature early in hi sadult life.

We see Jim Cornette, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Cornette says SummerSlam is one week away, and tells Lex Luger - who is meeting with the common people - that when SummerSlam comes around, he will get in the ring with a monster in Yokozuna who will tear him up and spit him out, as Yokozuna will have only one thing on his mind - ripping Luger apart, pleasing Mr. Fuji, keeping the WWF Championship, and teaching Luger the meaning of pain, fear, agony and defeat - as Lex Luger is drumming up support with the fans. He asks Luger what he will think about and how he will deal with the 568-lb. Yokozuna. He says that when all that weight drops on him, he will be squished like a grape and lose his chance at the WWF Championship. Cornette says the Japanese are honorable, but also deadly, and Yokozuna will do anything to meet his ends.

Adam Bomb beats Mike Maraldo. During the match, Johnny Polo mockingly pours his mint julep on Maraldo outside of the ring at ringside when Adam Bomb tosses him out of the ring.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage - going by the name "Rappin' Randy" - and Men on a Mission (Mabel, Oscar, Mo) rap about Lex Luger and The Lex Express' Call To Action.

Mr. Hughes vs. Mike Bucci. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler leaves the commentary table, saying girls are all over the Elvis Presley impersonator's Cadillac. After the match, Mr. Hughes destroys the nearby funeral wreath, then dares The Undertaker to come and get his urn back.

Boni Blackwell interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Bret says "The King" Jerry Lawler only claims to be a king while he himself has earned all of his accomplishments, including becoming King of the Ring. He also says it is one thing to do a cowardly thing to himself or his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, as he and Owen can handle it. However, when someone involves his parents by insulting and humiliating them repeatedly, a line is crossed, and Lawler will have to pay for it at SummerSlam. He promises to Lawler that it will not be pretty or fancy, but when all is said and done, Lawler will respect the Hart family name.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Bobby Who. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who say that they will take care of Bigelow and The Headshirinkers (Samu and Fatu) at SummerSlam. "The King" Jerry Lawler returns to commentary after the match.

On th e SummerSlam report, it is announced that the official SummerSlam program will be available on newsstands this Tuesday. We then hear from Shawn Michaels, who says that he and Mr. Perfect will collide at SummerSlam to see who is the greatest. He says what is perfect comes naturally to the wrestler of the '90s, and he is way out of Mr. Perfect's league. He is going to prove he is The Heartbreak Kid, the wrestler of the '90s and the WWF Intercontinental Champion. We then hear from Jim Cornette and The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo Jimmy Delrey). Cornette says that in one week, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) are going to meet their maker at the hands of The Heavenly Bodies, comparing them to American automobiles while calling The Heavenly Bodies "sleek, aerodynamic foreign imports." He tells the Steiners to get ready for the fight of their life, as The Heavenly Bodies can out-wrestle, out-fight and outlast them. Jimmy Delrey says the Steiners may be champs, but after SummerSlam, everyone they know will be calling them chumps. We then hear from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Razor Ramon. DiBiase says Razor will go marching down the ring with a smirk on his face, but when he leaves, he will leave like a dog with his tail tucked between his legs and he will have nothing left after he crossed him. Razor tells DiBiase he has been hearing him talk for weeks and blaming him for losing to The 1-2-3 Kid. If DiBiase wants him at SummerSlam, he has him, and DiBiase will be hearing one, two, three one more time.

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat "Iron" Mike Sharpe and Jeff Libolt.

Ray Rougeau re-advertises the show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. He then interviews "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker for Face To Face. The Undertaker says the demons have summoned him once more to rise from the darkness, not for a match, but for a war. He tells Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes that vengeance is his, and anyone or anything that gets in front of him that night will be destroyed, as he has one mission: annihilate Mr. Hughes and Giant Gonzales. Savage says he has chills, and that August 27th will be Black Friday. He says Mr. Hughes and Giant Gonzales are in trouble that night.

This Sunday night: The WWF SummerSlam Spectacular with The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) in a Steel Cage Match, as well as Yokozuna vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan!

The Lex Express is stopping at Los Angeles, California; Albuquerque, New Mexico, St. Louis, Missouri; Springfield, Illinois; Peoria, Illinois; and Detroit, Michigan for SummerSlam!
