Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 25, 1993

Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart show up on the video screen, together again. Bret admits that there was a lot of friction between him and Owen, but he knew this was tearing the family apart and that they had to sit down and talk about it, which worked. He may never find out who the better wrestler was, and feels better about it anyway as he knows he can better channel his energy into a tag team match against The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) with the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line, as united, they stand, and divided, they fall. Owen says he said things after Survivor Series he should not have said, but it does not matter if they were true or not as 1994 will be their year when he kicks off with Bret right behind. Together, they will take the WWF Tag Team Championships and make 1994 memorable for him and Owen.

Shawn Michaels beats Phil Apollo. Before the match begins, Shawn says he is the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion.

We then hear from Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Cornette says he and Fuji are more nervous about this event than anything else, and says Tatanka and Lex Luger have been humiliated and embarrassed numerous times at the hands of Yokozuna and Ludvig Borga. He says that one is humiliated and embarrassed that much, one would want revenge, but if Ludvig Borga does not break their backs, then Yokozuna will flatten them like pancakes. He is looking forward to seeing Luger again as he knows he has a few tricks up his sleeve, and tells Tatanka to do a war dance.

The Undertaker tells Yokozuna that soon, he too will be gift-wrapped, and wishes him a merry Christmas as we see a wreath on top of the casket he is making. It is then made official that Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart will face The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and that Tatanka will face Ludvig Borga. Nine new Superstars are now confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match: Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The 1-2-3 Kid, Fatu, Samu, Rick Steiner, Bob Backlund and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. We then hear from Jim Cornette in a phone conversation recorded earlier. Cornette feels cheated and that the contract for The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship has been tampered, and says it is all part of a conspiracy by WWF President, Jack Tunner, The Undertaker, Paul Bearer and the fans. At Royal Rumble, Yokozuna will have his turkey late in the former of an Undertaker turkey with Paul Bearer stuffing.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Ralph Mosca. Before the bell rings to begin the match, Mosca whips I.R.S. into the ring post, then tries to look in the briefcase as I.R.S. tries to get up. However, there is a combination lock, and when I.R.S. sees him, he takes the boots to him, and the match begins as he tells Mosca that nobody touches his briefcase.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show for the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on January 29th at 1:30 PM. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Doink will take on Bam Bam Bigelow, and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will go up against Irwin R. Schyster. We then hear from Crush for Face To Face. He says that he is not worried about the hazards of a two-out-of-three falls match, and says he is happy that he can take "Macho Man" Randy Savage all over the arena and make him suffer for sticking the knife in his back. He says he will make Savage's worst nightmare come true. We then hear from Savage, who says he is concerned but he is a survivor, and when the bell rings, he turns on the switch and he becomes electric. He says he and Crush can take it to a different level, and if Crush shows up, he can promise that their match will be the wildest thing we have ever seen.

Next week: Razor Ramon! Ludvig Borga! "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

We hear from Johnny Polo and Jacques. Revenge is on their minds, and they have been waiting for Lex Luger. They are coming prepared, and what happened to Pierre will not happen to Jacques. We then hear from Lex Luger, who says he has the rare opportunity to meet Jacques. He says Jacques saw what happened to Pierre, and now Jacques will see first-hand what "Made In America" is all about.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 18, 1993

Bam Bam Bigelow beats P.J. Walker. During the match, we hear pre-recorded from Bam Bam, who wants not only Doink's head on a silver platter, but also a big blazing fireplace with peace and quiet for him and Luna Vachon.

We see Vince McMahon interview Bret "Hit Man" Hart in footage from earlier this week. Bret says his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart is mixed up right now, and that a match between them would tear up the entire family. He does not know where Owen gets the impression that he was always favored while Owen was pushed off to the side. He admits that Owen won as many accomplishments as he did, but he never felt they needed to be compared to each other. He also does not buy the belief that Owen has lived in his shadow, even if he started off, got famous and accomplished things before Owen did. He is proud of what he has done in the WWF, as is his family, and so should Owen, who has hurdles to jump and goals to reach of his own as he has a whole career ahead of him. As for the post-match celebration at Survivor Series, he says Owen was aware he could join them, and is shocked by Owen saying he felt left out of it. When asked if he has ever been selfish, Bret believes he has never been selfish and has always tried to be the best big brother he could be to Owen, and if Owen feels he is jealous, he would rather talk about it. As for Owen's challenge to a one-on-one match to prove who the better brother is, Bret says he has never backed away from anybody or turned down a challenge, but there are no circumstances where he would want to step into the ring with his brother Owen, and says he will not do it as he does not want this to go any further than it already has.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats Duane Gill. During the match, it is announced that there is a Superstar interview with The 1-2-3 Kid in this month's issue of WWF Magazine.

Jim Ross advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th with a triple main event. There will be a special 30-man New York City Rumble. Also, Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka. We then hear from Razor Ramon for Face To Face. He tells Jeff Jarrett that the Garden is like his second home, and in his schedule defending the title, he spends more time in New York than in Miami. He says that this is Jarrett's first time in the Garden, where he is undefeated. We then hear from Jarrett, who says the New York fans stink. He says they may be called "enthusiastic," but to him they are "loudmouthed foreigners." He says Razor Ramon reminds him of the loudmouth New York fans, and the Intercontinental Championship will soon be his.

Ludvig Borga vs. Tatanka: next week on Raw!

Before the next match, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett says his debut on Superstars is what everyone has been waiting for, and tells everyone not to forget his name.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Chris Duffy in his WWF debut. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Jeff Jarrett, who says that whatever he wants, he takes when it comes to what he wants for Christmas. He also says "The Double J-F" sounds much better to him. After the match, Jarrett says everybody has been waiting to see him, and once he gets down with the WWF, it will be called "The Double J-F."

We hear from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer, where Paul Bearer shows off The Undertaker's workshop as well as the one-of-a-kid double-wide, double-deep casket. It is also announced that Lex Luger is denied entry in the Royal Rumble Match due to the clause in the SummerSlam contract where if Lex Luger did not win the title, he would not get another chance at Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. It is announced than an opinion poll over whether or not to let Luger into the Rumble is now open, and there will be more details this weekend on All-American Wrestling. Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Crush, Kamala, Doink, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, Mabel, Scott Steiner, Shawn Michaels, and Diesel are confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match, with more names coming soon. It is then announced that Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Irwin R. Schyster.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat The Brooklyn Brawler and Tony DeVito. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Steiner Brothers. Rick wants a million dollars and a fishing pole, but more importantly, the WWF Tag Team Championships. Scott hopes The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) have a rotten Christmas.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th. Rick Steiner faces Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Tatanka, who says he is physically ready because when he got injured and felt all the pain he had inside, he went back to his homeland where he could gain the wisdom from his elders and sit down with a medicine man who could help him heal faster. He has trained six days a week, two-and-a-half hours a day for his return, so he is definitely ready for Yokozuna, who has created an animal. He has realized that Yokozuna brought something out when he put him in all that pain, and he will soon feel that pain himself. We then hear from Jim Cornette (accompanied by Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna), who does not care about Tatanka's revege and says that Tatanka has no chance at the WWF Championship. He says that Yokozuna and the WWF Championship,

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 11, 1993

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Chaz Ware and Paul Jones. Before the match begins, Ware and Jones drop kick The Quebecers from behind, sending them out of the ring, and they then hold the WWF Tag Team Championships up into the air. After the Quebecers' post-match attack Ware and Jones, Johnny Polo mockingly places the tag team titles across the waists of Ware and Jones.

It is announced on Update that the main event of Royal Rumble is The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. Jim Cornette has added a stipulation making it so that it is The Undertaker's one and only chance against Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but Paul Bearer has added a clause of his own making the match a Casket Match. We then hear from Cornette, who says there are a lot of accusations thrown around and shady deals going around, and says he made no mistake and that Paul Bearer pulled a fast one on him. He says that Yokozuna's feelings of fear were really a feeling out process, and now he knows how far to go. He also does not care if Paul Bearer or WWF President Jack Tunney or anybody is against them, as Yokozuna will put The Undertaker in the casket.

Bastion Booger beats Tony Webb.

Jim Ross advertises a show for the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey for tomorrow night with a triple main event. The 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon will take on Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo, Doink squares off with Bam Bam Bigelow, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage meets with Crush. We then hear from Lex Luger, who will be facing Ludvig Borga in a grudge match tomorrow night, saying that the stipulation that he must war a protective pad on his right forearm does not bother him, as he welcomes the opportunity to wrestle Borga with no excuses. He says defeat is a very bitter pill for Ludvig Borga to swallow, and now they get to do it one more time and see what Borga is really made of, and he will see if Ludvig Borga will admit to losing if he beats him. We then hear from Ludvig Borga, who insists Lex Luger cheated to beat him. This time, it will be different and he will show no mercy to Luger before he finishes him one and for all.

Liz Woodard is the honorary ring announcer for the next match. Also, Crush is on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday. As Liz does honorary ring announcer duty, Irwin R. Schyster asks if she has a social security number and if she pays taxes, then asys just because she lives in Delhi, New York and secluded from the rest of civilization does not mean she can avoid paying taxes, and tells her it is time to pay her fair share.

We see an interview from earlier this week where Vince McMahon interviews "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says the friction between himself and Bret "Hit Man" Hart started long before Survivor Series, saying he always did better than Bret but but Bret ended up being the golden child. He says that is fine, but that it is now time to step away from Bret, and he must show everyone that he can make a name for himself on the World Wrestling Federation on his own without using Bret's name. He also says he carried the Hart family honor, and when he collided into Bret, everybody paid attention to him. When he was not invited to celebrate after the match - to Bret's music - he had to tell Bret to stop being so selfish and taking all the recognition. He says he has done a lot in his lifetime, and that it is time for people to pay attention to what he has done. When told that he is Bret's brother, Owen simply states that he is Bret is the brother of "The Rocket" Owen Hart, not the other way around. He then says he has lived in Bret's shadow all his life, and challenges him to a one-on-one fight to settle it once and for all and prove he can beat him.

We then hear from Savage, who says it will be "Crush Crush Night," and that when he gets down with Crush, Crush will think the New York Giants trounced him before the New York Jets slapped him.

Shawn Michaels vs. The 1-2-3 Kid ends when Razor Ramon shows up taking offense to Michaels hitting The Kid with two Razor's Edges, obviously a message from Michaels to Razor. Razor chases Shawn Michaels around the ring after Michaels slaps him in the face, and is about to chase him backstage when he is suddenly knocked out from behind the curtain leading to the backstage area by Diesel. Shawn Michaels takes the opportunity to tell Razor he's not the real WWF Intercontinental Champion as Michaels hits two Razor's Edges on him near the ring entrance as officials try in vain to stop him.

Ludvig Borga beats John Paul with the Torture Rack.

Survivor Series 1993 will be available on Coliseum Home Video this Wednesday.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart says it was a family feud, but it was not supposed to be the Hart family against him. He is tired of carrying the load for the family only for Bret "Hit Man" Hart to get all the recognition, and he was two for two until Bret got in his way and got him eliminated. He is also offended by not being invited back to the ring for the victory celebration, and knows where he stands with the family as he says that Bret has been a problem for a long time. He tells Bret to stay out of his way, as he is now looking out for number one. Bret tells Owen to put this behind him, saying it is not important, that everyone in the family is proud of each other and that Owen did great. He asks that Owen sit down with him and their parents so they can settle this thing, as they are family.

Bob Backlund beats "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

He says he attacked him from behind just like how he stabbed him in the back. Savage says he is a cheap shot artist and he will cheap shot Crush all he wants, and he'll give him another one at the Meadowlands. Crush says Mr. Fuji has taught him how to take Savage down, but Savage tells "Garbage Fuji" that he has a slap for him as well when all hell breaks loose at the Meadowlands.

Chris Walsh is selected to be the guest ring announcer for the next match.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats Glenn Ruth.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett is in Nashville, Tennessee, and says that what happened at Buddy Lee Talent Agency will never happen again. He says that they might as well call Music City "T-Shirt City" or "Souvenir City" as he approaches the Legends Hall of Fame Gift Shop, and says he is the only legend here. He meets Waldo the Country Sax, who is playing saxophone in front of the store and has never gotten a break. Jeff Jarrett says he will use the WWF to get his break, and he will come back to Nashville as a star. He gives Waldo a dollar and says he will let him play a set or two on the Double J band.

Royal Rumble is coming to pay-per-view on Saturday, January 22nd!

It's time for Reo's Roundup. Reo Rodgers interviews Shawn Michaels, whom he calls the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion. Shawn shows up in a suit, and says everyone is grateful that the Intercontinental Champion is back in town. He says WWF President Jack Tunney suspended him and stripped him of the title for not making contractual obligations, and says he answers to no man, follows no rules, and comes and goes as he pleases. If he feels like going out on his boat in Texas instead of defending the title at Madison Square Garden, he is going to do it. As for Razor Ramon, him being the Intercontinental Champion concerns him, as he looks like he combs his hair with a pork chop, spent his whole life in the gutter, and strapped a gold belt along his waist and suddenly called himself the Intercontinental Champion. He is afraid this will cause an epidemic, as any joe (or Jose) can get a gold belt anywhere and call himself a champion. He then says there is only one undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion, and it is him. Suddenly, Razor Ramon shows up and tells Shawn he has been hearing him tell the whole world that he is the undisputed Intercontinental Champion, and if it was up to him, he would take the gold the easy way. All he has to do is beat him one, two, three, but just like his whole life, he has to do it the hard way, go through 19 of the best and fight his way from the bottom to the very top, where he likes it. He then says to say hello to the real Intercontinental champ. Shawn blows bubble gum in his face, but Razor pops it with his toothpick and apologizes for bursting his bubble.

Marty Jannetty beats Reno Riggins.

Borga says he did not lose and that Lex Luger cheated the last time they met, and next week, he will finish Lex Luger once and for all and show everyone he is no hero. Luger says he will get a chance to prove that next week, because when he gets in the ring, they are face-to-face, and forearm pad or no forearm pad, he wants to settle this and once for all because he and the fans are tired of listening to him. He cannot wait to take him out one more time, as there will be no more excuses when the square off in the Meadowlands.

Next week: The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)! Bastion Booger! The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn)! Irwin R. Schyster! Tatanka returns!
