Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 10, 1996

The King has painted a portrait of The Ultimate Warrior to give to him as a peace offering and to show that there are no hard feelings between him and Warrior.

Owen Hart beats Yokozuna to continue to the second round of the King of the Ring tournament after Yokozuna stumbles off the second rope and Owen puts his foot on the ropes for the pinfall.

We see footage from last night's show at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Illinois.

The WWF Attitude Adjustment Tour continues in Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; St. Louis, Missouri and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!

Jake "The Snake" Roberts guests on commentary for the next match as an excerpt from his interview on yesterday's Action Zone is re-aired, in which Roberts talked about how drugs ruined his life and how his wife had to keep him alive.

Jim Ross interviews Yokozuna, who doesn't know what to think and says "This is not the old Yoko." He says he's concerned about getting his hands on Jim Cornette that he's lost it, and he now feels he has to go and find himself.

"Wildman" Marc Mero beats Skip to contine to the second round of the King of the Ring tournament.

Next week on Raw: "Wildman" Marc Mero vs. Owen Hart and Savio Vega vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the King of the Ring tournament quarter-finals!

Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler are in the ring as McMahon brings out The Ultimate Warrior. Jerry "The King" Lawler tries to make it up to The Ultimate Warrior, saying he saved him the trouble of being a king for a year from winning the King of the Ring tournament, and offers him the portrait he made of the Warrior as a peace offering. Vince thinks that Lawler is trying to get out of the match, but Lawler says the match is not necessary. The Warrior tells Lawler that he may be an artist, but he sees him as the biggest con artist there ever was. He appreciates the portrait and the time taken to get it done, but there is only one king in the World Wrestling Federation, and that King of the Ring, he's going to kick his ass. Lawler hits Warrior with the portrait, shattering the glass upon impact with the back of his head, but it doesn't have any effect on Warrior. He chases Lawler to the back.

Before the next match, Vince McMahon interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, who is at WWF Studios. Shawn looks forward to righting the wrong from In Your House: Beware of Dog at King of the Ring. Jim Cornette butts in and tells Shawn that in agreement for getting the suit against Gorilla Monsoon settled out of court, the referee for the WWF Championship rematch between The British Bulldog and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will be one of Cornette's and Clarence Mason's choosing and not "some 98-pound weakling" who could easily get knocked out. Jim Cornette then guests on commentary for the next match.

On Option 6 of the WWF Superstar Line, has Brian Pillman aka Flyin' Brian joined the ranks of the WWF Superstars?

The British Bulldog beats The Undertaker by count-out when Mankind keeps The Undertaker from getting back into the ring by grabbing him by the ankle. Mankind, the Bulldog and Owen Hart beat up 'Taker for a little bit, then Cornette gets Bulldog and Owen out of there because he doesn't want to be anywhere near Mankind. Mankind drives 'Taker into the mat with a piledriver, but officials and referees stop Mankind from applying the Mandible Claw.
