Vince McMahon interview Bam Bam Bigelow, who was disoriented and had to get 14 stitches in his upper lip after Royal Rumble. He is not angry about The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly beating him and Tatanka that night, saying "every dog has his day." It comes to light that he took exception to Lawrence "L.T." Taylor laughing at him due to the fact that L.T. is a retired professional athlete, and took offense to L.T. offering to shake his hand after laughing at him as Bam Bam Bigelow took it as an attack on his dignity. Bam Bam refuses to apologize, saying he doesn't care about his 30-day suspension, and challenges Lawrence "L.T." Taylor to a wrestling match anytime, anywhere.

It's time for The King's Court. Tonight's guest is Bob Backlund. Backlund says he's not going to let go of the Crossface Chicken Wing until whoever he gets it on screams "I quit, Mr. Bob Backlund." He also claims that he can put it on anybody, and that nobody is exempt from the policy, including himself. "The King" Jerry Lawler claims Backlund can't do it on him, but Backlund goes berserk and puts him in the Crossface Chicken Wing, and Lawler immediately says the magic words. Backlund then walks away, but Lawler says he only said he would quit the interview if Backlund didn't conduct himself properly. Backlund gets back into the ring ready to put Lawler in it again, but Lawler tricks Backlund by saying that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is approaching the ring. He isn't, of course, but it distracts Backlund just the same and just enough to allow Lawler his escape.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly after The Kid accidentally lands on his shoulder during a somersault senton and seemingly legitimately injures himself. Amazingly, it is announced after the commercial break that The Kid is able to get up and leave under his own power.
Kama beats Jumbo Beretta by submission in his Raw debut.
Next week: a six-man tag match!
Recapping American wrestling since 2013. Not only following the current stuff in WWE, Impact and ROH but also going back in time and doing stuff from back then as well.

Royal Rumble 1995 - The Recap
Pamela Anderson makes her entrance, and the WWE Superstars give her a warm welcome. Unluckily for them, her dressing room is right next to where they meet her.
"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Razor Ramon by count-out after Ramon hurts his left leg and The Roadie clips it behind the ref's beck. Razor Ramon retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship, but Jarrett is unhappy with the result and calls Razor a coward and a chicken if he thinks he's going to get out of the match like that. Razor Ramon gets back in the ring, and the match restarts.
"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Razor Ramon in the rematch to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship, after Jarrett is able to weaken Razor Ramon's left leg enough to make it give out during the Razor's Edge.

Stephanie Wiand interviews "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who says he's on the way to see Pamela Anderson right now.
Despite the attempted interference of Irwin R. Schyster's Druids, The Undertaker beats Irwin R. Schyster. After the match, the Druids get back in the ring and attack 'Taker, but 'Taker fights back. King Kong Bundy then shows up, and the two of them stare down. Irwin R. Schyster then attacks Paul Bearer and steals the urn, and Bundy uses the opportunity to attack The Undertaker. Even without the urn, The Undertaker is able to get back up.
Earlier tonight, Todd Pettengill interviewed Diesel. Diesel wasn't in a loose enough mood for an interview, and neither was Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who needed time to think about the match.
Before the next match, Diesel shakes hands with Lawrence "L.T." Taylor, who is in the front row for tonight's event.
Bret "The Hit Man" Hart vs. Diesel for the WWF Championship almost comes to an end after Shawn Michaels runs into the ring and attacks Diesel; however, the referee rules that the match must continue. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart uses a chair to weaken Diesel's already injured leg in full view of the ref (and somehow does not get disqualified), then "The King Of Harts" Owen Hart shows up and attacks Bret after removes one of the top turnbuckles. The referee rules that the match must continue again. After some time, Hart, Michaels, Bob Backlund, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie all show up and attack both men. Both men are unable to continue and the match goes out of control, and the match is declared a draw. Hart, Backlund, Jarrett, The Roadie and Michaels go on the attack again, but Diesel cleans house. Both Hart and Diesel show respect to one another after the match.
Todd Pettengill helps Pamela Anderson change into her evening gown. Not surprisingly, the sight of Pamela Anderson peeking out from behind the changing wall makes it a little awkward for Todd.
Stephanie Wiand interviews The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly. They can't wait to take the vacant WWF Tag Team Championships.
The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly beat The Million Dollar Corporation (Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka) to win the vacant WWF Tag Team Championships after Tatanka unintentionally knocks Bam Bam off the top rope as he goes for a top rope moonsault on The Kid. Bigelow, whose mouth is busted open, takes offense to Lawrence "L.T." Taylor laughing at him and pushes him into some fans. L.T. has to be held back.
As we look back at the 1994 Royal Rumble match, Shawn Michaels tells the audience that this year will belong to him. Lex Luger says he's tired of being a contender and wants to become a champion.
Vince McMahon apologizes on behalf of the WWF for the incident earlier involving Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawrence "L.T." Taylor.
The British Bulldog almost wins The Royal Rumble after supposedly eliminating Shawn Michaels, but only one of Shawn Michaels' feet touched the floor as he hung onto the ropes for dear life. Shawn Michaels eliminates The British Bulldog as he celebrates, and wins the Royal Rumble match, last eliminating The British Bulldog. He is the first person to win it from the #1 position. During the match, The Blu Brothers (Eli and Jacob Blu) from Smoky Mountain Wrestling make their WWF debut (Eli at #3, Jacob at #14). When "The King Of Harts" Owen Hart enters the Rumble, he is attacked by Bret "The Hit Man" Hart (who is not even in the Rumble) before he can even get in the ring, and the same fate befalls Bob Backlund when he enters the match and after he is eliminated. Mo was eliminated by King Kong Bundy in three seconds. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) make their return after suffering a rodeo injury. Near the end, Shawn Michaels and Crush work together, but Crush turns on Michaels and tries to eliminate Michaels only to fail and get eliminated by The British Bulldog.
