Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 30, 1995

King Kong Bundy beats Mabel in a "mini-Royal Rumble" with the help of Tatanka and Irwin R. Schyster. Lex Luger and Mo rush into the ring to keep The Million Dollar Corporation (

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.

Hakushi beats Ricky Santana.

"The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya beats David Sierra.

Ken Norton, Jr. of the San Francisco 49ers says he's going to WrestleMania 11 to celebrate his third consecutive Super Bowl win.

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!
