Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 23, 1994

During the WrestleMania Revenge tour in Anaheim, California, Yokozuna injured Earthquake with a Banzai Drop. He has been replaced...but by whom?

"The Rocket" Owen Hart's opponent is none other than Doink.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats Doink to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament after Doink is distracted by "Double J" Jeff Jarrett trying to clown-nap Dink.

The 1-2-3 Kid takes on Adam Bomb on Superstars and Tatanka takes on "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray on next week's Raw. Both matches will be qualifying matches for the King of the Ring Tournament.

Diesel is more than happy that Bret "Hit Man" Hart accepted his challenge, but noticed there is a bit of apprehension in his voice. He can't wait to get his hands on the WWF Championship.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Yokozuna and Crush at King of the Ring.

We see "Rowdy" Roddy Piper train on the punching bag at a local community gym. Piper says he needs the help of the fans, as the donations they're pouring in to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children goes directly to the hospital. He isn't taking "The King" Jerry Lawler's comments about him lightly, and goes so far as to consider the "Jurassic Park" comment a compliment due to that movie being the biggest one of all time.

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese beats Barry Horowitz in his Raw debut.

Trevor Rabin, Rhonda Shear, Bobby Kelton, Johnathan Taylor Thomas guest on the WrestleMania Revenge Tour...and the fans are having fun!

Irwin R. Schyster beats Gary Sabaugh.

It's time for The King's Court. "The King" Jerry Lawler tells "Rowdy" Roddy Piper he'll make him join the children at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, then introduces Lex Luger. Lex Luger tells Crush that his arm in a sling is only the beginning of what he's going to do to him after costing him a slot in the King of the Ring tournament, and when Lawler asks Luger if he'd say that to his face, Luger says he'd be happy to. Crush shows up as if on cue, and says Luger doesn't have to guts to face him man-to-man and attacked him from behind because of that. When Lawler asks Luger if he'd stoop low enough to attack an invalid, Luger thinks about it, then clotheslines Crush out of the ring. Crush's sling comes off, and his shoulder injury is revealed to be a fake. Officials have to keep Crush from getting back in the ring, and Lex Luger almost throws Lawer's golden bench out of the ring and right at Crush.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase guests on commentary for the next match. During the match, it is revealed that The Undertaker has been spotted in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Nikolai Volkoff beats Matt Hardy by submission.



"The King' Jerry Lawler reveals his guest for next week is none other than Bret "Hit Man" Hart.
