SummerSlam Spectacular 1993 - The Results

Yokozuna beats "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan after Mr. Fuji pulls at Duggan's ankle, taking Duggan out of his three-point stance and distracting him so that Yokozuna can hit the Banzai Drop. After the match, Yokozuna tosses the referee away before attempting the Banzai Drop on Duggan again. That fails when more referees shows up and confront Mr. Fuji while getting Duggan out of harm's way.

Backstage, Vince McMahon interviews Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Cornette states that Yokozuna was never a sleeping giant and always a beast, but now he is a wild, rabid animal who is ready to chew Luger up at SummerSlam. He tells Luger that he wanted this match and the chance to take the WWF Championship, and now he must take the responsibility upon himself and know that the actions of Yokozuna will be on him, for Yokozuna has no conscience, pity, fear or compassion. At SummerSlam, he will roll over in pain and cry for mercy \only to not get any because he brought it on himself. Cornette further states that Luger's career will be finished, the hopes of the American who believed in him will be smashed on the rocks forever, and the heartbeat of America will be silenced as Yokozuna stays WWF Champion.

Razor Ramon beats Blake Beverly after sending Beverly into the turnbuckle that he himself exposed before hitting the Razor's Edge.

We see footage of Lex Luger on the road with the Lex Express during his "Call To Action" campaign.

We see "The King" Jerry Lawler host a special edition of The King's Court with an Elvis Presley impersonator in a pink 1959 Cadillac. Lawler says that Bret "Hit Man" Hart is impersonating him, and the Elvis impersonator says that everyone has been impersonating him and that he does not like it either, and asks Lawler how he feels. Lawler says it makes his blood boil to see Hart take the shortcut to success by copying him, for there is only one king in the World Wrestling Federation and it is him. He says that he will break Hart in half and SummerSlam, and that Hart will never impersonate him again.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart says "The King" Jerry Lawler has crossed a line nobody has ever crossed before and has gone too far. He has no problem fighting his own battle, but he takes it personally when his family is brought up, and says that he cannot put into words how much anger and frustration he will take out on Lawler. He then promises that his match with Lawler at SummerSlam will be a mutilation, and that he has told his parents not to come to SummerSlam due to what he will do to Lawler. He then says his parents have told him that they will be there anyway along with the rest of the family to see him destroy Lawler. He tells Lawler he made a big mistake bringing up his family and that he will pay for it big time at SummerSlam, and that no matter who he surrounds himself with, he will always be a bogus, phony king.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and Tatanka beat The Brooklyn Brawler, Barry Horowitz and Reno Riggins.

We see more footage of Lex Luger on the road with the Lex Express during his "Call To Action" campaign.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Undertaker in the ring. On the subject of what a "Rest In Peace Match" is, The Undertaker says that there are many that believe that in one's life, there comes a day where they must be held accountable for their actions. He says that this day of reckoning is at hand for Giant Gonzales at SummerSlam, for he has tried time and time again to destroy that which cannot be destroyed. He states that although he does not have Paul Bearer or the urn, he has the power of the creatures of the night, and he will take Giant Gonzales' flesh, drive his hand deep into his carcass and extract every living organ that he has in the Rest In Peace Match, and before the night is finished and he returns to the depths of the dark side, he will possess his soul. Suddenly, Giant Gonzales and Harvey Wippleman show up, and Gonzales tells The Undertaker that he will not get up and that he will rest in peace. The Undertaker removes his trenchcoat, and Giant Gonzales and Harvey Wippleman walk away.

We see even more footage of Lex Luger on the road with the Lex Express during his "Call To Action" campaign.

Shawn Michaels retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Bob Backlund after rolling Backlund up with an inside cradle and and grabbing the tights following Diesel's distraction of the referee.

Backstage, Vince McMahon interviews Ludvig Borga, who says that this will be the first and last SummerSlam for Marty Jannetty, and warns Marty to sign his check before getting in the ring with him. He will not only fight Jannetty, he will fight all of America at the same time, and he will give Jannetty pain that he has never had before that will never go away. As for the rest of the locker room, he just wants to destroy them and give them pain.

Marty Jannetty beats Duane Gill.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schsyter) in a steel cage match.

The show ends with a tribute to Lex Luger from "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Men On A Mission (Oscar, Mabel, Mo).
