Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for September 25, 1993
At the start of the show, Mr. Perfect says that last week, Shawn Michaels and Diesel pushed The 1-2-3 Kid around like a bunch of bullies, and he handled the situation. The 1-2-3 Kid will be wrestling this week, and what happened last week will not happen again as he will be in his corner. He warns Shawn and Diesel that if the wants to push The Kid around again, he will be there.
Adam Bomb beats Kevin Krueger.
Joe Fowler advertises the Madison Square Garden supercard with a now-triple main event taking place tonight at 8 PM. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker, Mr. Perfect faces Diesel, Tatanka does battle with Irwin R. Schyster, and Razor Ramon faces "The Model" Rick Martel. It is then announced that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will be defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, and that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) are no longer in the match. He then interviews Johnny Polo, who manages both Adam Bomb and The Quebecers. He says this should be his greatest night, but Adam Bomb is his family, and that he could not even get a word with WWF President Jack Tunney. He does not even know if he will even show up, and says it is all one big conspiracy.
Bastion Booger beats Todd Becker.
The WWF is offering a limited number of dates for the benefit of non-profit organizations wishing to raise funds through presenting a WWF spectacular. For more information, write to: WWF Fundraisers, P.O. Box 3857, Stamford, CT 06902.
The 1-2-3 Kid beats Jack Reno.
We see a promo of Ludvig Borga in front of a polluted river. He says that Lex Luger is proud of all this, and that the river here used to be nice until Americans cleaned their house. He says that the river is what Americans are all about: filth, pollution, and corruption. If Luger stands for all of this, that makes him "a garbage driver." He says that America stinks, American stinks and Lex Luger stinks, and tells American to choke on this.
Tatanka beats Barry Horowitz.
Joe Fowler advertises the Madison Square Garden supercard with a now-triple main event taking place tonight at 8 PM. The 1-2-3 Kid will also be facing Bastion Booger on this night. He then interviews Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette) and The Undetaker (with Paul Bearer). Jim Cornette says The Undertaker is a big, bad guy, but so is Yokozuna, and this match will be brutal and intense. He tells Paul Bearer his urn will not be able to save him, and that he will be worried with more than whether or not he will be able to pay his light bill. When Yokozuna drops down on The Undertaker, he will flatten him regardless of whether he is breathing or not. He says it has been a long time since The Undertaker has been laid out with words being spoken over him, and when Yokozuna takes care of him, he will be six feet under. Paul Bearer tells Cornette that they do not have to worry about a light bill as they live on the dark side, and he does not understand why Cornette would pit Yokozuna against The Undertaker. The Undertaker decrees that tonight, Yokozuna will meet the destroyer.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Tom Stone and Dan Rubins.
Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Ludvig Borga! Doink! Irwin R. Schyster! Marty Jannetty!
Boni Blackstone interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Cornette says he has some stone cold hard facts: Yokozuna is the WWF Champion now and from this point forward, and despite what anybody wants, Lex Luger will not get another shot at the WWF Championship. He then says that he and Mr. Fuji have scanned all the competition in the WWF and says there is nobody who stands a chance of beating Yokozuna. He says you can look in Yokozuna and see that he has no fear, and that you can look in everyone else's eyes and you can see fear of getting in the ring with Yokozuna, who has no compassion for his fellow man. He and Fuji looked far and wide for someone who can test Yokozuna, and there is not a soul who can put him down until a spaceship lands. All of a sudden, the arena goes dark. The Undertaker's music is heard, and The Undertaker and Paul Bearer are right behind Cornette, who is scared out of his wits when he turns around. Bearer says all Yokozuna has to do is look in The Undertaker's eyes and all he will see is darkness and evil, and that The Undertaker has a challenge. The Undertaker gets in Yokozuna's face, and he and Yokozuna have an intense staredown before The Undertaker challenges Yokozuna to bring the WWF Championship - and his soul - to the dark side.
Adam Bomb beats Kevin Krueger.

Vince McMahon interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart in the ring. As far as Bret Hart is concerned, "The King" Jerry Lawler is the king of nothing, and he considers his family honor more important than any championships or his King of the Ring title. His only regret is that he didn't keep Lawler in the Sharpshooter longer, and he knows that Lawler will have to face him in the ring again. When that happens, Lawler won't have a head to place his crown on.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for September 18, 1993
Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Blake Beverly with the Sharpshooter. During the match, it is announced that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) are on the cover of WWF Magazine on newsstands now, and Bret is seen in the magazine breaking bread with a lucky fan. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler is conspicuous by his absence, having chased after an unseen six-year-old with a Bret Hart poster at the beginning of the show.

Schyster. The 1-2-3 Kid and Shawn Michaels (accompanied here by Diesel), who will face each other that night, are interviewed for Face To Face. The 1-2-3 Kid says it's been one week and there is one week left, and while he is still nervous, he plans to go in the ring and give 110%. Shawn says all he hears about is The 1-2-3 Kid, but he is the Heartbreak Kid and the Intercontinental Champion. He tells The 1-2-3 Kid that anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation, and that he and Mr. Perfect should be careful. Diesel says the last time in the guardian, Mr. Perfect was introduced to him and his right hand. He says Mr. Perfect has been a headache for Shawn for some time, and he will be the extra-strength Tylenol that will take care of that headache once and for all.

The Undertaker may not be able to feel pain, but his bones can break like anybody else's and his back and his insides can be snapped. If he cannot feel pain, then Yokozuna will have to work harder as he enjoys delivering pain. One week from tonight, Yokozuna will deliver pain to The Undertaker. Okerlund then interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertakrer for Face To Face. Bearer hopes that Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji have gotten Yokozuna's final affairs in order, as Yokozuna will soon be crossing over to the dark side. The Undertaker says all things are as they should be, and now it is time for all his creatures of the night to witness mass carnage.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The 1-2-3 Kid and Shawn Michaels (with Diesel) for Face To Face. The 1-2-3 Kid calls a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and although he is nervous, it is an honor to step into the ring with Shawn Michaels. Shawn says he can understand why The Kid is nervous, as he will be wrestling the greatest to grace a World Wrestling Federation wrestling ring. Shawn says guys like Razor Ramon and Ted DiBiase treated The Kid like a push-over, but he says there are no push-overs in the WWF and that The 1-2-3 Kid is willing to do anything to get to the top. He likes that, as it reminds him of himself, and if he gets in the ring with him, his streak will be over. Diesel says with his size, he has the advantage of being able to attack, then respond. If Mr. Perfect wants a piece of him, he will put him down. (The match in question is taking place in Madison Square Garden in New York on September 25th.)
It's time for another edition of The King's Court. "The King" Jerry Lawler takes the opportunity to thank his thousands of supporters who have been concerned about the condition of his leg, and announces that his leg is almost back at 100% and says it is almost a miracle. He says it won't be long before he returns and his supporters will be happy. He says his supporters are also concerned that his self-appointed royal court jester Doink did not take care of and protect him from Bret "Hit Man" Hart as he promised, and that Doink is upset due to the names he called him on the last edition of The King's Court, then proceeds to call Doink "an imbecilic idiot" because he did not live up to his word. He says Doink is a court jester, and a poor one, and tells him to stay in his place. He then warns Bret, saying his leg is almost healed and that he has beaten him on crutches, saying he doesn't have to be at his best to beat him. He tells Bret to stay far away from him and not even be in the same city as he is, because if their paths cross, he will not be held responsible for what happens to him and that Bret will find out who is the one and only undisputed king of the World Wrestling Federation.
Next week: The 1-2-3 Kid! Shawn Michaels! Mr. Perfect! Ludvig Borga! Bret "Hit Man" Hart vs. Blake Beverly!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Bam Bam Bigelow (with Luna Vachon) and Adam Bomb (with Johnny Polo) for Face To Face. Bam Bam Bigelow it is none of Okerlund's business why they are not together and says he and Adam Bomb have to focus on taking the WWF Tag Team Championships away from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Okerlund smells friction between Bigelow and Adam Bomb, but Johnny Polo insists there is no animosity and that he and Luna Vachon have devised a strategy to take the tag team titles from The Steiners. Luna says that if there is any problems, it is that she only wants to stand by Bam Bam Bigelow, the most dominant man in the World Wrestling Federation. She says that Bigelow wants to get together with Adam Bomb to face The Steiners. Bam Bam Bigelow says he and Adam Bomb will burn it all together and that there will be an inferno, and both Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo declare that when one of the Steiners is put in the Atom Smasher, up they will go and down they will stay. (The match in question is taking place in Madison Square Garden in New York on September 25th.)

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The 1-2-3 Kid and Shawn Michaels (with Diesel) for Face To Face. The 1-2-3 Kid calls a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and although he is nervous, it is an honor to step into the ring with Shawn Michaels. Shawn says he can understand why The Kid is nervous, as he will be wrestling the greatest to grace a World Wrestling Federation wrestling ring. Shawn says guys like Razor Ramon and Ted DiBiase treated The Kid like a push-over, but he says there are no push-overs in the WWF and that The 1-2-3 Kid is willing to do anything to get to the top. He likes that, as it reminds him of himself, and if he gets in the ring with him, his streak will be over. Diesel says with his size, he has the advantage of being able to attack, then respond.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for September 4, 1993
The show begins with a Japanese-language report on the events leading up to SummerSlam. We then see Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, with Cornette telling Lex Luger he blew his one chance at the WWF Championship, saying Yokozuna will be the WWF Champion forevermore. He says Luger may have won the match, but he has lost the war, and there will be absolutely no rematch due to the clause in the contract. Cornette says that if he and Mr. Fuji made one mistake, it was that they underestimated Lex Luger as they expected to face one man. He saw the adrenaline and the look in Luger's eyes that showed no fear, and says it felt like Luger drew from the spirits of the people he had garnered support from during the Call To Action Campaign. He goes on to say that he, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji received no such support when Luger's padded forearm knocked Yokozuna out for 22 minutes and when Luger put his hands on him. He then reiterates that Lex Luger will never get another shot at Yokozuna and the WWF Championship, no matter what, as the reality is Yokozuna and the fantasies have been dashed on the rocks.
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Mike Khoury and Aaron Ferguson.
Vince McMahon interviews Lex Luger. Luger thanks everyone he met on the Lex Express and Call To Action Campaign from the bottom of his heart for all their support, as well as The Palace at Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan and the fans at SummerSlam and the fans watching at home. He says he felt their enthusiasm and belief in him and took it to the ring with him, and thanks them for that. He also says the spirit of the viewers watching from their homes was with them as well. He says it was an honor and a thrill to represent The United States of America and wrestle for the WWF Championship, and calls the match that it was the high point of his career. Yokozuna is still WWF Champion, but Yokozuna still lost. Luger says he feels he didn't lose anything, and says that all things for a reason. He says he hasn't lost any faith or belief in himself, his country and God, and hopes the fans have not lost any faith in him, as somewhere, somehow, someday, he will become WWF Champion.
Doink beats Mike Moraldo.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the 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. Razor Ramon will take on "The Model" Rick Martel, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will take on Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn), and Tatanka faces Irwin R. Schyster. Okerlund then interviews Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel) and Mr. Perfect for Face To Face. Shawn doesn't want to boast, but he is the cat with the most and he is still the WWF Intercontinental Championship. When he is done with The 1-2-3 Kid, The Kid will be a big fat zero. Meanwhile, Mr. Perfect will be facing Diesel. Perfect says Diesel has stuck his nose too far into his business, and now he must eliminate at Madison Square Garden. Diesel says that when his right hand meets Mr. Perfect's face, Mr. Perfect will be going down and he will never get a shot at Shawn Michaels. Mr. Perfect says that when he comes to Madison Square Garden, everybody knows something is going to happen, and once he eliminates Diesel, he is coming for Shawn Michaels.
Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Mark Thomas and Russ Greenberg.
Bastion Booger beats Ralph Mosca.

He tells America to have a happy Labor Day and choke on it.

Okerlund then interviews Yokozuna (accompanied by Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette) and The Undertaker, who will square off in a match for the WWF Championship.

The Undertaker commends Yokozuna for his acquisition of Jim Cornette, for after September 25th, he will need a gifted speaker to give Yokozuna's eulogy. The Undertaker then vanishes, spooking Cornette.
