Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 9, 1993

The Lex Express rolls to Chicago for the Lex Luger Call to Action.

Tatanka beats Mr. Hughes by count-out. After the match, Mr. Hughes attacks Tatanka with The Undertaker's urn before destroying the black funeral wreathe sent to him earlier in the match.

We see more of what makes Lex Luger tick and how he got his start in professional wrestling.

The Bushwhackers (Butch and Luke) and The Macho Midget beat Blake Beverly, The Brooklyn Brawler and Little Louie.

Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Save and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are in the ring with the Board of Directors for the contract signing for Lex Luger vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. As Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji enter the ring, Jim Cornette follows them in. Fuji declares Cornette the official American spokesperson for Yokozuna. Cornette praises Japan, and says that Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji's opportunities have been burdened by their limited knowledge of the English language. He checks over the contract for the match, and both Cornette and Mr. Fuji both approve. Lex Luger shows up in a three-piece suit complete with an American flag tie, and both competitors sit down. Yokozuna signs the contract while staring menacingly at Luger, and Luger also signs the contract. Both men stand up, but Jim Cornette says a clause has been added: if he doesn't beat Yokozuna, there will be no rematch. Lex Luger doesn't sweat this last-minute addition to the contract, saying he only needs one shot to beat Yokozuna and take the title. Yokozuna pushes the table away and stares straight at Lex Luger as he speaks, then flicks his sweat at him before Luger leads a "USA" chant.

Razor Ramon beats Dan Dubiel.

The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) beat Mike Bucci and Bobby Who. After the match, Jim Cornette calls out The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), asking for a response to his challenge.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan takes on Yokozuna and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) take on Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) in a Steel Cage Match for the WWF World Tag Team Championships in the SummerSlam Spectacular on Sunday, August 22 at 8 PM on USA!

Next week on Raw: a special interview with Giant Gonzales! Also, Ludvig Borga, Men on a Mission (Mable and Mo), I.R.S. vs "El Matador" Tito Santana, and The 1-2-3 Kid vs. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase!
