Jim Cornette guests on commentary for another week.
Lex Luger says he will get Tatanka after all these months, and that Chief Jay Strongbow will be in his corner.
Lex Luger beats Tatanka by count-out when Tatanka and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase give up. During the match, Tatanka rips off Chief Jay Strongbow's headdress and rips it to pieces only to be met with a couple of Tomahawk Chops, and Tatanka and DiBiase try to flee once only for Luger to carry Tatanka back into the ring. After the match, Luger runs to the back.
"The King of Harts" Owen Hart beats Larry Santo with the Sharpshooter.
Vince McMahon interviews Lawrence "L.T." Taylor. Lawrence Taylor insists he meant no disrespect to Bam Bam Bigelow (even though he says Bam Bam was "beaten by a 13-year-old" and that he "pushed him like a sissy"), and that he didn't go after Bam Bam because "we could have settled it in other ways." Taylor admits he did not expect Bam Bam to act like he did, and that it only became embarrassing when WWF played the footage repeatedly. L.T. says he is weighing his options and taking his time to do what he wants to do concerning Bam Bam, who he says he is not scared of. He calls Bam Bam a tremendous athlete for his size but doesn't want to go into what kind of human being he is. Jim Cornette gets Bam Bam into the interview, and continues to challenge L.T. to a match at WrestleMania 11, telling him he'll be at the WrestleMania 11 press conference at the Harley-Davidson Cafe in Manhattan in New York City. L.T. says he'll also be there, and from there the interview comes to an end.
Beginning at 12 noon, the WWF Superstar Line will have hourly updates on the WrestleMania press conference by Jim Ross live from the Harley-Davidson Cafe in New York City. Just press Option 6.
Doink beats Bob Cook.
Next week on Raw: The British Bulldog vs. Shawn Michaels!
Kama beats Ken Raper.
Vince McMahon interviews The British Bulldog. He can't wait to get his hands on Shawn Michaels next week, and says it'll take more than Shawn Michaels as well as Sid Vicious (now known as "Sycho Sid") to take him down.
Todd Pettengill will be hosting the WrestleMania 11 press conference at the Harley-Davidson Cafe in New York City, which is being satellite-fed to the entire world. Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawrence "L.T." Taylor will all be there.

American Wrestling Experience - AWF Warriors of Wrestling recap for February 25, 1995
Sgt. Slaughter says Americans have their freedom of choice, and your choice for professional wrestling should be the American Wrestling Federation.
We are introduced to commentator Mick Karch and color commentator Terry Taylor.
Tito Santana beats The Ultimate Destroyer by pinfall in the second round. During the match, it is announced that the rules - which will be obeyed - are as follows: Matches consist of four one-minute rounds, with tossing opponents over the top rope as well as putting one's hands on the referee both grounds for automatic disqualification. The In case the match goes the distance, the referee's decision is final.
Ken Resnick interviews Tito Santana, who says he is feeling good about the AWF in general. He says you have to know how to wrestle to make it in the AWF, and he knows how to wrestle. He says being in shape is an asset, and that knowing how to wrestle will finally pay off...and the wrestling fans like that.
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine - managed by Rico Suave - beats Billy Joe Eaton with the Figure Four Leg Lock in the first round. During the match, we hear from "Gentleman" Chris Adams in the Warriors Corner, who calls AWF the alternative wrestling federation for having rounds much like European wrestling. He says he'll be here next week. Also, a girl is seen with a computer, and Rico Suave is seen talking on his cellular phone.
Tony Atlas beats Sonny Rogers by pinfall in the second round. During the first round, Sonny Rogers was admonished by the referee for excessive eye gouging, and the round was given to Tony Atlas. Johnny Gunn is also seen in the Warriors Corner during the second round, saying he will be here next week to housequake the nation.
Ken Resnick interviews AWF president Paul Alperstein, who created AWF after being a wrestling fan for many years and seeing the industry change dramatically, which led him to want to bring the sport back to its roots. He says the rules will be enforced and followed. There will be no throwing over the top rope or touching the referees, and there will be a break at the ten-count. As for the round system, he wanted to create a system unique to the business that the fans would want to see. He looks to run shows in arenas not only in the United States, but in foreign countries around the world.
Rick Thunder beats Nailz (now going by "Nails" with an "s") in the first round by disqualification after Nails hits Thunder with a wooden stool and a steel chair before choking him with a camera cord. Another referee has to foll
Ken Resnick interviews Sir Oliver Humperdink, who says he didn't succeed by being a slouch and knows good things are happening in AWF. He says people are unhappy to see him, but he's going to be around for a long time, and says he has come with a tag team from the state of Texas, whom he says are at the pinnacle of tag team success: Killer and Psycho, the Texas Hangmen. Psycho says they are the biggest, baddest pieces of meet to come out of Texas, and they're here to beat people up. Killer dares the competition to step into the war zone.
Sgt. Slaughter hands out miniature American flags to the fans in the front row before the next match.

Ken Resnick interviews Sgt. Slaughter, who says it's great to be in the AWF where they brought the rules and regulations back, and thanks Paul Alperstein for making it possible. He praises the round system, then says he will put down everyone who faces him in the American Wrestling Federation.
Koko B. Ware beats Bobby Bradler by pinfall in the second round. During the second round, Mr. Hughes is in the Warriors Corner, and he promises that whoever gets in his face next week will go down for the last time to the sidewalk slam.
Ken Resnick interviews Rico Suave, who says that he has some of the best wrestlers in the ring. He acknowledges the girl with the computer in the ring earlier in the show, and that her computer brought up three names who will take the Suave family to the top, one of which is Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who says that all you have to do with the computer is type in "greatness," and then you have him, who is synonymous with greatness and everything about true wrestling. He says he is the master of the Figure Four Leg Lock, which will take the Suave family to the top.
Sgt. Slaughter says you've made the right choice with the American Wrestling Federation, and until next week...you're dismissed.

Raw Deal - Raw Deal for February 20, 1995

Adam Bomb beats Rip Rogers.
It's time for The King's Court. Tonight's guest is Shawn Michaels, who shows up after Jerry "The King" Lawler makes some bold, unfounded claims that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is racist towards the Japanese for making "slanted statements." After Michaels shows up, Lawler quickly changes his tune. Michaels says he's been a marked man ever since he won the Royal Rumble match, and that it's only going to get worse from here. Because of this, he has found it necessary to find another bodyguard, and annouces that he has finally done it. His new bodyguard is none other than...Sid Vicious, who hasn't been seen in WWF in quite some time. Sid says Shawn can trust him because Shawn figured out that he has "no feelings for any living soul" and will be at his side at all times, as there will be no bad times while they are together. Sid promises that he and Shawn will soon rule the world.
Tonight on the WWF hotline: Lex Luger spending Super Bowl weekend with Michael Jordan and Emmitt Smith.
The Blu Brothers (Jacob and Eli Blu) beat Mark Starr and Leroy Howard. This is the first Raw appearance of their manager Uncle Zebekiah.

Diesel was at NBA All Star Weekend last weekend, along with Salt 'n Pepa, Jennifer Van Hoy from Blossom, Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Atlanta Braves outfielder David Justice, Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles, NBA All-Star Danny Manning of the Phoenix Suns and Charles Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs.
Diesel retains the WWF Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett.

As Diesel celebrates, Shawn Michaels and Sid Vicious show up and watch Diesel from a distance.
Shawn Michaels and Sid Vicious show up again after the break, and they approach the commentary table. Jim Cornette wants Sid away from him because he's nuts, but Shawn Michaels knows that and says he wouldn't want to be in Diesel's shoes as Sid would knock him out of them as much as he can fill them.
Next week: Lex Luger takes on Tatanka in the 100th episode of Raw.
