Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 28, 1993

The 1-2-3 Kid beats The Brooklyn Brawler. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Irwin R. Schyster, who says that The 1-2-3 Kid may have been lucky against Razor Ramon and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, but he will beat The 1-2-3 Kid at SummerSlam

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a Madison Square Garden supercard with a triple main event on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, and Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The 1-2-3 Kid. Also, Mr. Perfect will take on Diesel, and Tatanka faces Irwin R. Schyster. Furthermore, Razor Ramon goes one-on-one with Mr. Hughes, and both of those men (with Mr. Hughes accompanied by Harvey Wippleman) are interviewed for Face To Face. Wippleman says he has more on his mind than the people will comprehend, as it is Mr. Hughes' debut at Madison Square Garden. He tells Razor Ramon this will be a big loss for him, as it will be a fight, not a wrestling match, and says that Razor Ramon is eating tacos and burritos compared to the collard greens, pork chops and black eyed peas that Mr. Hughes is eating. Harvey Wippleman also says that Mr. Hughes is getting ready for Razor Ramon, and that Mr. Hughes will bash Razor Ramon upside the head with The Undertaker's urn. Razor tells Wippleman to spread the word that he is coming back to the MSG: the Madison Square Garden, not the foot additive. He says it will be Mr. Hughes first time there, but he is undefeated there. He then says that when Mr. Hughes looks around, he will find out that the Garden will be full of bad guys. Mr. Hughes says Razor will go down to the sidewalk slam. Razor tells Mr. Hughes "Don't sing it, bring it."

Before the next match, "Doctor" Tom Pritchard calls Jim Cornette "the shining light of Smoky Mountain Wrestling."

The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey) beat Tony Roy and Jason Headings. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Scott says SummerSlam is for all the marbles, and Rick says the crowd know he and Scott like some fresh meat.

On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that American recording artist Aaron Neville will be singing the American national anthem at the beginning of the show. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler must have underestimated him and must not have followed what he is capable of. Lawler beat him up from behind after becoming the King of the Ring like a dog and attacked his brother, "The Rocket" Owen Hart. He can never forget what he did to Owen, but the worst thing he could have done was involve his family in all of this, saying it is a line Lawler should never have crossed. He says he does not involve his family in his personal affairs, but if Lawler wants to do that, that's fine, because at SummerSlam he will execute him like the kings of old and chop his head off, and it will be the last anyone hears of Lawler. We then hear from Harey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales. Wippleman says all his dreams will come true at SummerSlam, as The Undertaker will leave the WWF in humiliation when he cannot beat Giant Gonzales. Gonzales says The Undertaker will be the one resting in peace. Wippleman hopes The Undertaker heard that, as Giant Gonzales is speaking the truth. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says "The Million Dollar Man" Razor Ramon that he is so upset at losing to The 1-2-3 Kid that he will make him pay, and is DiBiase wants him, he's got him at SummerSlam. He says everyone will be watching, and says money won't save DiBiase.

We see the music video for "I'll Be Your Hero" starring Lex Luger.



Ludvig Borga beats Virgil, then removes Virgil's red, white and blue wristbands before bashing the fans, saying they have no choice but to live in America because they don't speak any other languages like he can. He tells the fans to take that and stick it, then shoves Virgil's wristbands into Virgil's mouth.

The Undertaker is seen in a graveyard. He says that at SummerSlam, Giant Gonzales will begin a journey into the shadow of death from which there is no return from the dark side. As he begins to lay Giant Gonzales' carcass into the hollowed earth, only then will he know the meaning of "rest in peace."

Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Shawn Michaels, who is accompanied by Diesel. Shawn says that for the people who think perfection cannot be beaten, nothing is better than modern technology, and that is him. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler gets on the Magistrator and draws a diesel truck behind Perfect, saying Diesel will run Mr. Perfect like roadkill at SummerSlam.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show for Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will take on Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn). Okerlund then interviews the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and the tandem of Luna Vachon and Johnny Polo, representing Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, respectively. Scott Steiner says he loves wrestling in Madison Square Garden, and even though Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have never wrestled as a team, it will be a great fight and The Steiners will show why they are the tag team champions. Rick says the bomb will be fizzled and it will be a big bomb. Luna tells The Steiners that what they see before them now is a part of what is their unforeseen contingency, as Adam Bomb are Bam Bam are unbeatable, unbreakable, unpinnable and unsuplexable. Johnny Polo says Adam Bomb is devising a counter to the Frankensteiner, and while The Steiners are the tag team champions, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have studied their moves while The Steiners have never seen Bam Bam and Adam Bomb as a team and therefore have no idea what they are capable of when together. The Steiner Brothers dare Luna and Johnny Polo to "bring 'em down."

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Reno Riggins and Barry Hardy. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says he will take revenge on Bam Bam Bigelow as The Smoking Gunns take care of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).

"Mean" Gene Oklerund interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette in the ring. Cornette says the red, white and blue wristbands will be collector's items at SummerSlam, as they will be a call to hospital instead of a call to action. He says Lex Luger will have to be scraped up off the ground before being brought to a place where he can be brought back together. He then mentions the elbow pad stipulation, and says Lex Luger always wants an advantage, unlike Yokozuna and the Japanese people, whom he calls the most noble and honorable people and nation on the face of the planet due to having the intelligence and the guts to fight to the death for what they want. He then says Yokozuna is not just a man, but a 568-lb. monster who has stretchered off men like Crush, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Kamala and Hulk Hogan. After saying that Hulkamania is dead and buried six fett under at Yokozuna's hands, Cornette says that Luger will not be able to handle Yokozuna. All of a sudden, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up, gets in the ring and tells Yokozuna may be entering the ring at SummerSlam with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette as the WWF Champion with the support of a few of his countrymen, but Lex Luger will be entering the ring with the admiration of millions of fans who have enlisted in the Call To Action Campaign, the hopes and dreams of people who dare to excel and reach out for that brass ring, and the support and respect of every WWF Superstar including himself. Most importantly, Luger will be leaving SummerSlam will the WWF Championship. Savage then starts a "USA" chant. Suddenly, numerous WWF Superstars come out from the crowd and arrive at ringside to show support for Luger. Yokozuna is seen covering his ears to drown out the patriotic music as the show ends.
