Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 18, 1994

Diesel retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Lex Luger in a double-disqualification. Luger accidentally whips Diesel into the referee, and Shawn Michaels takes advantage of the situation with a superkick to Lex Luger as he puts Diesel in the backbreaker rack. Luger kicks out of a pin, then Razor Ramon shows up and chases Shawn Michaels around the ring and into it, only for Luger to attack Michaels. The match is over as everything goes out of control. Razor knocks down Diesel, then confronts Shawn Michaels only to be attacked from behind by Diesel. Both Michaels and Diesel attack Razor, but Luger stops them from hitting Razor with a double-team piledriver. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase shows up, watches Luger and Razor from a distance, then heads back to the back. During the match, and before the first commercial break, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase was seen watching from above the audience, but nobody knows where he went after the break.

Mabel beats Austin Steele.

Actor Leslie Nielsen has been hired to get to the bottom of the tale of the two Undertakers at SummerSlam. Also, Bret "Hit Man" Hart defends the WWF Championship match against his brother "The King of Harts" Owen Hart in a Steel Cage Match.

Suddenly, Tatanka shows up and confronts DiBiase, saying he knows that Luger has sold out to him, but DiBiase chalks his statements up to jealousy and says Tatanka couldn't beat Lex Luger on his best day. He also beats $10,000 that he can't beat Nikolai Volkoff. Tatanka takes that bet and plans to beat Volkoff next week.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 30, 1994

Tatanka and Crush fight to a double count-out, with neither man advancing into the King of the Ring tournament. Both men continue to fight each other after the match, and officials have to run in to separate them. It is announced that WWF President Jack Tunney will have to rule on whoever will advance into the tournament.

We meet "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at home in Oregon. He's not here to trash talk with "The King' Jerry Lawler and is here to honestly help the kids in Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. He says he is no king, and if he had the chance, he wouldn't want to be one.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart doesn't care about WWF President Jack Tunney's decision about whether to advance Crush or Tatanka into the King of the Ring tournament, and wants a bye into the second round.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats George South.

It's time for The King's Court. Tonight's guest is Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and "The King" Jerry Lawler makes fun of his "Jurassic Park parents" before bringing him out. Lawler makes fun of what he did to Bret at last year's King of the Ring, and before it can get physical, Lawler announces he has other guests for this year's: Diesel and Shawn Michaels. Diesel and Shawn show up, and Lawler wants to know if Bret's lost his mind. Bret tells Diesel has a tremendous amount of respect for him, but at King of the Ring, Diesel will find out why he's the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. Diesel tells Bret he's getting the VIP treatment: Very Intense Pain. Shawn interrupts Bret to hit him with a cheap shot, Diesel hits the Jackknife Power Bomb on Bret, Shawn punches Bret in the face, and Diesel, Shawn and Lawler all attack Bret Hart afterward. Officials try to stop this, but Diesel intimidates them all, making it harder for officials to do their job. Diesel shakes hands with Lawler, and Diesel then lifts both the Intercontinental and WWF Championships into the air.



The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Austin Steele and Reno Riggins.

WWF President Jack Tunney has ordered another match between Tatanka and Crush next week on Raw. It will be a lumberjack, there must be a winner, and the winner will advance into the King of the Ring tournament. Nikolai Volkoff, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Bushwhackers (Butch and Luke), Irwin R. Schyster, Razor Ramon, Mabel, Duke "The Dumpster" and Yokozuna are revealed to be some of the lumberjacks confirmed for this match.

Earthquake beats Adam Bomb.

Lex Luger calls out Mr. Perfect for taking his grudge against him out on him at WrestleMania 10 and costing him the WWF Championship.

Gorilla Monsoon introduces and interviews Mr. Perfect, asking him to explain his actions at WrestleMania 10. He claims to have nothing against Lex Luger or Yokozuna, but says Lex Luger kept him from doing his job as the referee of the match. He says that if anyone has a problem with how he called, they're the ones with the problem. He then tells Lex Luger that if he touches him, he's gonna pay for it. Monsoon reminds Mr. Perfect that before all is said and done between Perfect and Luger, there will be a "Made In The U.S.A." stamp on the front of him just like how the back of his jacket says "Mr. Perfect."



Razor Ramon beats Austin Steele. During the match, it is mentioned that Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) won the WWF Tag Team Championships from The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) during the recent UK tour only to lose them back to The Quebecers two nights later.

Shawn Michaels and Diesel introduce us to the Heartbreak Hotel, the hottest show in town where are there no vacancies and the place is booked solid. "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels calls himself sole proprietor and Diesel is the manager, and that there will be no pilfering of towels or five-fingering of ashtrays, or else someone will answer to Diesel. Michaels then focuses on Razor Ramon, telling him that he and Razor are just getting started, and says that Diesel wants to challenge Razor for the WWF Intercontinental Championship and bring it back to the Heartbreak Hotel. Michaels tells Razor that he can check out of the Heartbreak Hotel, but he can never leave.



Yokozuna beats Scott Powers.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 29, 1994

WWF President Jack Tunney announces that both Lex Luger and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will both be given the opportunity to challenge Yokozuna for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 10, meaning that for the first time in WWF history, the WWF Championship will be defended twice in the same event. This Monday night on Raw, there will be a coin toss to dictate who faces Yokozuna. If Luger wins the coin toss, Bret will face Owen Hart, then face whoever is the winner of Luger vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. If Bret wins the coin toss, Luger will face Crush before facing the winner of Bret vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. Whoever wins the second championship match will be the undisputed WWF Champion. It is announced that Luger, Bret and Yokozuna have agreed to this format, and announces that this is a fair and equitable decision. He also announces that unannounced special guest referees acceptable to all parties will be assigned to the two championship matches at WrestleMania 10.

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Joey Stallings and Terry Austin.

We hear from Jim Cornette, who says that this is the greatest day of his, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji's lives as they are about to be part of the greatest celebration in the history of Japan after Yokozuna retained the WWF Championship against The Undertaker at Royal Rumble despite all the weeks of media barrage swaying public opinion, a conspiracy against them from the WWF and Paul Bearer's attempt to stack the deck against Yokozuna. He claims that Yokozuna won it on his own (despite the massive amount of assistance by the bad guys to get The Undertaker in the casket). Cornette says that when his attorneys are done with the results of the Royal Rumble Match, neither Lex Luger or Bret "Hit Man" Hart will get a shot at the WWF Championship as they will be old and gray.

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will go at it with The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) face Yokozuna and Ludvig Borga in a two-out-of-three falls match, and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will take on Irwin R. Schyster. We hear from I.R.S., who says that he thinks Bret "Hit Man" Hart is vulnerable and that Bret should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself for putting his family through the situation of Owen turning on him. If he was Owen, he would disown him, but Owen is doing the smart thing and beating Bret up. Tomorrow at Nassau Coliseum, Bret will be facing him, and if he is thinking about his family problems, then he is in danger, as he should not face him without him in mind. We then hear from Bret, who says that what happened at Royal Rumble is something he will not forget, and that this will not blow over any time soon. He tells I.R.S. he is a great wrestler, but when it comes time for him to shine, he will shine, and he will be at his best tomorrow.

Jacques will prove that the Quebecers were never afraid of the Steiners and that the Steiners never had a chance of beating them. Polo says they will keep the tag team titles in the locker room as the Stieners will try to steal the titles when they lose.

Jim Ross re-advertises tomorrow's show at Nassau Coliseum. Tatanka will face Diesel, The 1-2-3 Kid will face Johnny Polo, and Lex Luger faces Crush in a "coward surrenders" match. We then hear from Crush, who says that Mr. Fuji will never wave the white flag in tomorrow's match as he goes through a lot of pain and torture in Mr. Fuji's dungeon. He admits Luger may have an advantage by having "Macho Man" Randy Savage in his corner, but if Savage interferes, he will make him surrender along with Luger. We then hear from Savage, who says that tomorrow will be the end of the road for Crush and that he is taking the match seriously. He says that Luger has asked him not to wave the flag, and tells Mr. Fuji that if he wants to keep Crush around, he has better wave the flag and keep him away from Nassau Coliseum.
