Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 9, 1994

Razor Ramon beats Kwang to earn a slot in the upcoming King of the Ring Tournament.

Thurman "Sparky" Plugg takes on Bam Bam Bigelow next week on Raw. The winner gets a slot in the King of the Ring tournament and faces Razor Ramon in the first round. Meanwhile, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is returning to the WWF at King of the Ring, when he takes on "The King" Jerry Lawler. Piper makes it clear on the set of Tough But Deadly that he's sick of Lawler's crap, and he's taking him on one more time even though he has nothing to prove. He also says that if he beats Lawler, his winnings will go to a hospital for sick children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as Lawler called some sick children in said hospital "brats."

Crush beats Raymond Roy.

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese says he's coming to the World Wrestling Federation soon.

Doink beats Mike Terrace. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews "Double J" Jeff Jarrett via telephone, and Jarrett mocks Doink prior to their match.
We hear from Earthquake, who talks about his brief sumo career and his transition to the WWF. He says he has a lot to prove in the WWF, which is why he has returned.

It's time for The King's Court. After mocking "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's recent comments about him, he wishes Piper would be a guest on his segment so he can say them to his face. He then introduces this week's guests: Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Lawler and Cornette mock Earthquake's sumo career, and Cornette says that Earthquake only talks about what he can do when Yokozuna proves it in the ring on a regular match. Cornette accepts the challenge, and makes it a little more interesting: make the match a sumo match. Lawler doesn't think Earthquake will go for it, but loves the idea. Cornette asks Lawler to see if Earthquake will accept the challenge, as Lawler is the only one who can get the scoop.

The Undertaker has been seen again, this time by a lawn care company.

Mabel beats Mike Bell. During the match, Randy Savage reads a note left to him saying that Earthquake has accepted Jim Cornette's sumo match challenge against Yokozuna.

"The King" Jerry Lawler interviews Earthquake backstage. Lawler asks Earthquake if he's nuts, and Earthquake responds by scaring the crap out of Lawler and saying he'll kick Yokozuna's butt. Lawler keeps testing Earthquake, which causes Earthquake to scare the crap out of Lawler again.
