Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 30, 1994

Tatanka and Crush fight to a double count-out, with neither man advancing into the King of the Ring tournament. Both men continue to fight each other after the match, and officials have to run in to separate them. It is announced that WWF President Jack Tunney will have to rule on whoever will advance into the tournament.

We meet "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at home in Oregon. He's not here to trash talk with "The King' Jerry Lawler and is here to honestly help the kids in Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. He says he is no king, and if he had the chance, he wouldn't want to be one.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart doesn't care about WWF President Jack Tunney's decision about whether to advance Crush or Tatanka into the King of the Ring tournament, and wants a bye into the second round.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats George South.

It's time for The King's Court. Tonight's guest is Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and "The King" Jerry Lawler makes fun of his "Jurassic Park parents" before bringing him out. Lawler makes fun of what he did to Bret at last year's King of the Ring, and before it can get physical, Lawler announces he has other guests for this year's: Diesel and Shawn Michaels. Diesel and Shawn show up, and Lawler wants to know if Bret's lost his mind. Bret tells Diesel has a tremendous amount of respect for him, but at King of the Ring, Diesel will find out why he's the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. Diesel tells Bret he's getting the VIP treatment: Very Intense Pain. Shawn interrupts Bret to hit him with a cheap shot, Diesel hits the Jackknife Power Bomb on Bret, Shawn punches Bret in the face, and Diesel, Shawn and Lawler all attack Bret Hart afterward. Officials try to stop this, but Diesel intimidates them all, making it harder for officials to do their job. Diesel shakes hands with Lawler, and Diesel then lifts both the Intercontinental and WWF Championships into the air.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Austin Steele and Reno Riggins.

WWF President Jack Tunney has ordered another match between Tatanka and Crush next week on Raw. It will be a lumberjack, there must be a winner, and the winner will advance into the King of the Ring tournament. Nikolai Volkoff, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Bushwhackers (Butch and Luke), Irwin R. Schyster, Razor Ramon, Mabel, Duke "The Dumpster" and Yokozuna are revealed to be some of the lumberjacks confirmed for this match.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Chris Hamrick with the Figure Four Leg Lock.

"The King" Jerry Lawler announces his guest for next week is "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
