Lex Luger beats Bastion Booger.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart congratulates The 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty on beating The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championship, but "The Rocket" Owen Hart is not happy with the fact that his big break slipped away. Bret says he knows they will be the first person to get a title shot The 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty after they beat The Quebecers at Royal Rumble. Bret says he will now dedicate his career to tag team wrestling and his brother Owen after completing all his single matches and 1-on-1 obligations, so he and Owen can win the tag team titles.

It is announced that Marty Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid will be defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) this Monday night in Madison Square Garden in New York City. We hear from The Quebecers and Johnny Polo, who says Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid pulled the upset of the century and that they were not ready; however, he placed a clause in the contract that gave The Quebecers a return match just in case they lost. Jacques vows The Quebecers will win their titles back. Meanwhile, we hear from Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid. Jannetty says The Quebecers aren't laughing so much now after taking them lightly and asks how they feel now. He tells The Quebecers that if they cannot get it done, they might as well return to Canada. The 1-2-3 Kid says they will see if it was a fluke victory, and that hopefully they will defend the titles and keep them.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat J.W. Storm and Tony DeVito. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Afa and The Headshrinkers, who are psyching themselves up for the Royal Rumble Match.

We hear from Jarrett, who is not concerned about being the underdog against Razor Ramon. He says Razor's undefeated streak in Madison Square Garden will come to an end, and he will find out he is all about. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says there is no way to forget what Jarrett has said about him, as people are asking him to "give Jeff Jarrett one for them." He says big trouble is coming to Jarrett, and tells him to get ready for Monday night.

Nicole Froton is the honorary guest ring announcer for the next match.

Tatanka beats Barry Horowitz. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Ludvig Borga, who says he will destroy Tatanka for good at Royal Rumble.

Jim Ross interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Before the interview begins, we see footage of Paul Bearer and The Undertaker unveiling the double-wide, double-deep casket intended for Yokozuna, with Paul Bearer saying it will be a ride that he will never forgot and that instead of kicking the titles, all Yokozuna has to do is kick the bucket. He then says that he will not hear any external noise at all. The Undertaker says all Yokozuna will hear is the hounds of Hell baying for his soul. Cornette feels hornswoggled after seeing the footage, and admits that Yokozuna is afraid not of The Undertaker, but of the casket, which he calls "a box" so as not to further scare Yokozuna. He says that because of the fans, WWF President Jack Tunney, Paul Bearer and The Undertaker, they are all victims of a con job. He tells Paul Bearer and The Undertaker that they have backed Yokozuna into a corner and that Yokozuna will come out fighting, doing everything in his power and fighting out of instinct after his one fear was used against him, and that they had better be ready to prepare all the fixings and trimmings of a first-class funeral for The Undertaker that is long overdue, as The Undertaker will be laid to rest along with the hopes and dreams of taking the WWF Championship away from him.

Virgil beats Derek Domino by submission.

Raymond Rougeau interviews Shawn Michaels, who says his chances of winning the Royal Rumble Match are great. Suddenly, Bam Bam Bigelow butts in and says he will win the match, as does "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, Crush, Adam Bomb and "The Model" Rick Martel. Shawn then says he and Diesel will toss everyone out two people at a time, then Diesel will graciously climb out over the top rope to let him, but Diesel says he will not throw the Rumble, which starts an argument between the two of them.

During the Royal Rumble Report, we hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says nobody will rain on his parade when he wins the Royal Rumble Match and goes on to WrestleMania 10, where he will win the WWF Championship for a third time. He is back and better than ever, as the madness has kicked in and he is going to win. We also hear from The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who say they are gearing up for the match and are ready for a potential brawl between themselves. We then hear from The 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty. Jannetty says they will stick together until they face each other at the end, when they try to toss each other over the top rope.

Shawn Michaels is on the cover as well as the inside of the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available now.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says 1994 is the year that all the "tax cheats" will pay, as 1994 will be "the year of the audit."

Irwin R. Schyster beats Tony Roy. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Razor Ramon, who says that I.R.S. may have ripped off the gold around his neck, but he will never rip the gold off his waist in their match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship.

It is announced that The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey), Scott Putski, Ivan Putski, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Crush will all be in the 30-man New York City Rumble. We hear from Crush, who says that this Monday night, the long, slow painful clock will come to a ticking end, and in case he does not win the New York City Rumble, it will be worth trying to end Savage's career, as he hates him and his fans and he cannot wait to destroy him. We then hear from Savage, who says that he plans to win the New York City Rumble, and if Crush is in his way, that will be a free shot on Crush for all to see as he attempts to win.

Next week: Ludvig Borga! Doink! Shawn Michaels! The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) vs. Adam Bomb and Rick Martel! A special interview with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 1, 1994

Before the next match, Quebecer Jacques says he wants to settle something once and for all. He says everyone knows that Lex Luger has a steel plate in his arm, and that he knocked Quebecer Pierre and kept him from participating in Survivor Series. He has some news for Luger: Jacques, Pierre and Johnny Polo have filed a formal complaint, and announces that he will not face Lex Luger until he sees a doctor's note which states that the steel plate has been removed from Luger's right arm. Jacques and Johnny Polo are about to leave, but referees stop them and tell them the match will be happening.

Lex Luger beats Quebecer Jacques. During the match, Lex Luger inadvertently whips Quebecer Jacques into referee Joey Marella, sandwiching him in the corner. Luger goes for the running forearm smash, but Jacques manages to keep the move from happening. Quebecer Pierre shows up, and Johnny Polo drags Jacques out of the ring as Pierre hits Luger with a leg drop. Pierre goes for the pinfall as Johnny Polo wakes Joey Marella up, but Luger kicks out. Luger wrestles Pierre anyway, and hits him with the running forearm smash for the win. Jacques gets in the ring to argue with the referee, but Luger manages to hit Jacques with the forearm anyway to get the win for real.

Yokozuna will also defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka. We hear from Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, who mocks Tatanka's vow of revenge and says they will be nothing compared to what he will suffer on the 17th. He says his people felt that pain as he continues to mock their suffering, and says the other people should not be suffering and that they should all get a job because they are unemployed. He then says Tatanka will be out of professional wrestling along with his oath of revenge when Yokozuna squashes him with the Banzai Drop. All the while, Mr. Fuji laughs. We then hear from Tatanka, who says that this is the most important bout of his career, as he is doing this out of revenge and for the WWF Championship. He is the first American, he represents America to the fullest, and he has not forgotten the weeks of pain and suffering that Yokozuna put him through. He tells Yokozuna to prepare himself for battle, because he will inflict suffering upon him and take the WWF Championship away.

Razor Ramon tells us not to smoke.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Mike Khoury and Tim McNeany. As the match begins, we see pre-recorded comments from Afa and The Headshrinkers, where they talk about the upcoming Royal Rumble Match in Samoan.

Rene Rougeau interviews Razor Ramon. He has said it many times: if something happens to his gold chains, something happens to you. He asks Irwin R. Schyster if he knows how long and hard he worked to buy that precious gold, and asks him what a man like him can do to a guy like I.R.S. When asked about Shawn Michaels hitting him with The Razor's Edge, Razor Ramon says nobody knows how deadly The Razor's Move better than he does, and that is why he uses it. He then tells Irwin . Schyster that where he comes from, it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. He is up, he is coming to Royal Rumble, and he is bringing the gold that cannot be bought. If Irwin R. Schyster wants it, he will have to fight.

The Undertaker says he has made his new year's resolution, and Yokozuna will rest in peace.

Ludvig Borga beats John Crystal with the Torture Rack. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says that his wishes have been granted from the powers above, and now he has two opportunities to exact revenge on Ludvig Borga and inflict pain upon him just as Borga did.

Jim Ross re-advertises the January 17th show. Rick Steiner faces Ludvig Borga, and Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. We hear from Jarrett, who says that if Madison Square Garden is Razor's second home, he would hate to see his first, because that is the most dilapidated building he has ever seen in his life. It will be his debut appearance there, and he tells Razor Ramon to get ready, as the Intercontinental Championship will be around his waist. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says that Madison Square Garden is not only special to him, but to every wrestler who gets goosebumps walking in. He tells Jarrett to step into his den, as he is bringing his gold and his fists, and they will fight.

Next week: Razor Ramon! "Double" Jeff Jarrett! Bret "Hit Man" Hart! Yokozuna in a rare appearance in a handicap match! WWF President Jack Tunney makes his decision as to whether or not Lex Luger will be in the Royal Rumble Match!

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Chaz Ware and Paul Jones.

After the Quebecers' post-match attack Ware and Jones, Johnny Polo mockingly places the tag team titles across the waists of Ware and Jones.

It is announced on Update that the main event of Royal Rumble is The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. Jim Cornette has added a stipulation making it so that it is The Undertaker's one and only chance against Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but Paul Bearer has added a clause of his own making the match a Casket Match. We then hear from Cornette, who says there are a lot of accusations thrown around and shady deals going around, and says he made no mistake and that Paul Bearer pulled a fast one on him. He says that Yokozuna's feelings of fear were really a feeling out process, and now he knows how far to go. He also does not care if Paul Bearer or WWF President Jack Tunney or anybody is against them, as Yokozuna will put The Undertaker in the casket.

The 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon will take on Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo, Doink squares off with Bam Bam Bigelow, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage meets with Crush. We then hear from Lex Luger, who will be facing Ludvig Borga in a grudge match tomorrow night, saying that the stipulation that he must war a protective pad on his right forearm does not bother him, as he welcomes the opportunity to wrestle Borga with no excuses. He says defeat is a very bitter pill for Ludvig Borga to swallow, and now they get to do it one more time and see what Borga is really made of, and he will see if Ludvig Borga will admit to losing if he beats him. We then hear from Ludvig Borga, who insists Lex Luger cheated to beat him. This time, it will be different and he will show no mercy to Luger before he finishes him one and for all.

Liz Woodard is the honorary ring announcer for the next match. Also, Crush is on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday. As Liz does honorary ring announcer duty, Irwin R. Schyster asks if she has a social security number and if she pays taxes, then asys just because she lives in Delhi, New York and secluded from the rest of civilization does not mean she can avoid paying taxes, and tells her it is time to pay her fair share.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Mike Moraldo.

We see an interview from earlier this week where Vince McMahon interviews "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says the friction between himself and Bret "Hit Man" Hart started long before Survivor Series, saying he always did better than Bret but but Bret ended up being the golden child. He says that is fine, but that it is now time to step away from Bret, and he must show everyone that he can make a name for himself on the World Wrestling Federation on his own without using Bret's name. He also says he carried the Hart family honor, and when he collided into Bret, everybody paid attention to him. When he was not invited to celebrate after the match - to Bret's music - he had to tell Bret to stop being so selfish and taking all the recognition. He says he has done a lot in his lifetime, and that it is time for people to pay attention to what he has done. When told that he is Bret's brother, Owen simply states that he is Bret is the brother of "The Rocket" Owen Hart, not the other way around. He then says he has lived in Bret's shadow all his life, and challenges him to a one-on-one fight to settle it once and for all and prove he can beat him.

He says it does not matter what the fans think, as they have been a thorn in his side since day one according to Mr. Fuji. He has eliminated the fans from his life and mind, and tomorrow night will be the first and last time as he will finish it. We then hear from Savage, who says it will be "Crush Crush Night," and that when he gets down with Crush, Crush will think the New York Giants trounced him before the New York Jets slapped him. He says that on "Black Sunday," The Meadowlands will be on fire and he will whup him.

Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Crush! A special interview with Bret "Hit Man" Hart! "Double J" Jeff Jarrett debuts!

He then says he and his parents had a summit conference and met with fellow Canadian, WWF President Jack Tunney, on how to get one up on him. He says that they are trying to bring in Bret disguised as Doink, and he plans to remove that facepaint and reveal who he is really is. If Doink is indeed Bret, he will end his career once and for all.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart vs. Irwin R. Schyster...next week on Superstars!

Ludvig Borga beats Dan Dubiel with the Torture Rack. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Yokozuna, The Quebecers and Jim Cornette. Cornette warns The All-Americans' (Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner) potential new partner to realize that it is a exercise in futility to join that team after witnessing what Ludvig Borga can do.

Irwin R. Schyster is seen advertising Acclaim's Dual Turbo wireless controllers - currently available at K-Mart - for the Sega Genesis while playing Royal Rumble. You can also register for a trip to see Royal Rumble live at K-Mart.

The All-Americans (Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner) show up. Luger says that although Tatanka will not be at Survivor Series physically, he will be there in spirit just like he is now. Luger then says he is privileged to take part in an annual Thanksgiving tradition, and he and the Steiners are very privileged to introduced their new tag team partner: The Undertaker. The Undertaker shows up with , then says that throughout all of eternity, he has walked alone, and his existence has been filled with eternal darkness. He has stood tall in his beliefs, and even when condemned for his action, he stood by what he believed in. Now, Luger and the Steiners stand up for what they believe in: American pride. In honor of their devotion, he will stand with them and he will survive with them. He says freedom will ring, and The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Jacques, Pierre) will rest in piece. The Undertaker then opens the bottom of his jacket to reveal that the inside is the original flag of the original thirteen colonies. The Foreign Fanatics show up to ringside absolutely livid, and referees keep them from entering the ring.

Before the next match, two Doinks show up on the video screen. They tell Bastion Booger that he is so ugly, they had to tie that they had to tie a pork chop around his neck to get his dog to play with him and that when he was born, the doctor slapped his mother. A third Doink pops up on the video screen, then all three of them laugh and tell Bastion Booger he will be eliminated first at Survivor Series. Bastion Booger vows to tear the hair and head off one of the Doinks.

Bastion Booger beats Joe Brenan.

We hear from "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who is in front of the Ryman Auditorium Opry in his 1955 Cadillac with his driver Billy Joe Brooks. He says that he takes care of his property, unlike the corrupt country music industry, and and mentions that the Ryman Auditorium has graffiti on the front walls and is basically dead. He says that Conway Twitty is dead and buried, and George Jones' career is just dead. He says the auditorium reminds him of The Undertaker: dead, decrepit and in shambles. He plans to use The Undertaker and the WWF, and when he is done, they will have to rename it "the Double J-F" and the Ryman Auditorium will be "the Double J auditorium" and the home f the greatest country who ever lived: himself.

Before the next match, it is announced that Razor Ramon is on the cover of the newest issue of WWE Magazine, available on newsstands everywhere this Tuesday.

Razor Ramon beats "The Model" Rick Martel by count-out. During the match, Harvey Wippleman shows up and watches the match from ringside. When Razor goes for The Razor's Edge, Wippleman gets on the apron, distracting Razor and allowing Martel to knee Razor out of the ring. Razor alnds on his feet and confronts Wippleman, and when Martel goes for the double axe handle off the apron, he hits him in the gut, hits an atomic drop that sends Martel directly into Wippleman, and barely gets back in the ring in tim e to win by count-out. After the match, Martel and Wippleman have a shoving match, and Martel grabs Wippleman and threatens to beat him up. Adam Bomb shows up and confronts Martel, and Wippleman has to stand between both men. Suddenly, Diesel and Irwin R. Schyster show up to be the voices of reason to keep them united before Survivor Series.

On the Survivor Series report, it is announced that the official Survivor Series program will be available on newsstands this Tuesday. We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that there was a recent survey done with 15,000 people who were asked who would be completely annihilated at Survivor Series, and that person will be "The King" Jerry Lawler. His family will eliminate his three knights, as they all want a piece of Lawler. They plan to get a few pieces of him and throws the scraps to his father and the family cats, as Lawler will be obliterated. We also hear from Jim Cornette, who says it has been a long time coming, but he and The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) finally have The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) in a neutral location away from Smoky Mountain Wrestling officials, and they will take the Smoky Mountain tag titles at Survivor Series.

Survivor Series Showdown is this Sunday night, November 21st, at 7 PM Eastern, 6 PM Central!

Diesel beats Chaz Ware.

Joe Fowler re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, November 27th. He then interviews Paul Bearer and Jim Cornette (accompanied by Mr. Fuji) for Face To Face. Cornette says one man is the most impressive physical specimen in the history of the WWF in Yokozuna and the other is the man who will meet his final resting place and whose time has long since passed in The Undertaker, and says the real problem is who will beat the other man so senseless that they cannot do anything about it, which he says will happen to The Undertaker before he enters the casket as well as Twilight Zone. Bearer says Cornette and Fuji can feel good in the fact that Yokozuna will be resting in some of the finest materials that The Undertaker personally picked, and that Yokozuna will rest in peace forever.

This Monday on Raw Lex Luger vs. Quebecer Pierre!

Next week: Bam Bam Bigelow!

He will win the WWF Championship, and he will make both I.R.S. and Yokozuna sorry as they both find out that he means business.

Ludvig Borga says his beef is with Luger, and tells him to cash his last check as this will be his last match in the WWF after he breaks his back and ends his career. Yokozuna says something in Japanese.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells "The King" Jerry Lawler that he will bring knights into the ring and step up against his family in a family feud.

Fowler then interviews the team of Irwin R. Schyster and Diesel and the team of Razor Ramon and Mr. Perfect for Face To Face. I.R.S. tells Razor and Perfect that he is not a fool, because Diesel gave Razor 18 stitches the last time they were in the Nassau Coliseum. He then says it is his turn, because nobody makes a fool out of him on national television. Razor tells I.R.S. he got eaten at Raw, and he had hiss hot in the Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal, and Mr. Perfect interjects that he tossed Diesel out of the ring during that battle royal. Razor says all the talk ends on Frinday night when they settle the score. Diesel says last time, he left them laying like a couple of punks, and this time they will do audit and Razor and Mr. Perfect will be paying the penalty. Perfect tells Diesel that he is going down, and tells I.R.S. not to hang out with trash as he will be thrown out with it.

Ludvig Borga vs. Tatanka: next week on Superstars!

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schsyter calls the ring announcer a run-of-the-mill tax cheat for deducting $800 off his tuxedo and making a $3,000 write-off for his toupee. He calls the crowd tax cheats who use the system and cheat on their taxes because that is all they know.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Ken Garrison.

The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) beat Flex Armstrong and Richie Rich. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Jim Cornette, who says that for the last ten years, The Rock 'n Roll Express have defeated every tag team he has managed. They may be the Smoky Mountain Wrestling Tag Team Champions, but The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey rule Smoky Mountain Wrestling and will soon rule the World Wrestling Federation. He says that while the Express may feel jealously, all he and the Heavenly Bodies feel is hatred.

We se Jeff Jarrett in Nashville, Tennessee. He is here today at Buddy Lee Attractions, the premiere talent agency in the city, as they will not give him a break as he is not from outside of Nashville. He says that Willie Nelson cannot "carry a tune in a bucket" who is "a stranger to music." He then says he has the greatest voice and claims he is the world's greatest singer and wrestler, and says he will prove it to the stars of the WWF. After he is finished using the WWF, he will come back to Buddy Lee Attractions, and Buddy Lee will crawl on his knees and plead and beg for him to sign the dotted line so he can say he signed him.

Diesel beats Ralph Mosca.

Two new matches are made for Survivor Series: The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Bastion Booger and Bam Bam Bigelow square off against four Doinks in a Traditional Survivor Series 4-on-4 Match.

Also, Mr. Perfect, The 1-2-3 Kid, Razor Ramon and Mart Jannetty will take on Irwin R. Schyster, Adam Bomb, "The Model" Rick Martel and Diesel in a Traditional Survivor Series 4-on-4 Match.

Joe Fowler re-advertises the show at Nassau Coliseum. He then interviews Lex Luger and Ludvig Borga for Face To Face. Luger says it has been a long wait, but he finally gets Ludvig Borga in the ring after all the disparaging remarks about him and America, and now he can see if he can back it up in the ring when he cleans the garbage up in Nassau Coliseum. Ludvig Borga says that Luger is right about taking out the garbage, as he is the "garbage driver" of America. This Friday night, he will show all the Americans what their hero is all about. When he is through with him, his hero role will be played out and he will end his career. Luger says Ludvig will see what Ameria and the top competition in the WWF is all about on Friday night.

Next week: The Smoking Gunns (! Bam Bam Bigelow! The Steiner Brothers! Ludvig Borga vs. Tatanka!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for September 25, 1993

At the start of the show, Mr. Perfect says that last week, Shawn Michaels and Diesel pushed The 1-2-3 Kid around like a bunch of bullies, and he handled the situation. The 1-2-3 Kid will be wrestling this week, and what happened last week will not happen again as he will be in his corner. He warns Shawn and Diesel that if the wants to push The Kid around again, he will be there.

He then interviews Johnny Polo, who manages both Adam Bomb and The Quebecers. He says this should be his greatest night, but Adam Bomb is his family, and that he could not even get a word with WWF President Jack Tunney. He does not even know if he will even show up, and says it is all one big conspiracy.

Bastion Booger beats Todd Becker.

The WWF is offering a limited number of dates for the benefit of non-profit organizations wishing to raise funds through presenting a WWF spectacular. For more information, write to: WWF Fundraisers, P.O. Box 3857, Stamford, CT 06902.

We see a promo of Ludvig Borga in front of a polluted river. He says that Lex Luger is proud of all this, and that the river here used to be nice until Americans cleaned their house. He says that the river is what Americans are all about: filth, pollution, and corruption. If Luger stands for all of this, that makes him "a garbage driver." He says that America stinks, American stinks and Lex Luger stinks, and tells American to choke on this.

Tatanka beats Barry Horowitz.

He then interviews Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette) and The Undetaker (with Paul Bearer). Jim Cornette says The Undertaker is a big, bad guy, but so is Yokozuna, and this match will be brutal and intense. He tells Paul Bearer his urn will not be able to save him, and that he will be worried with more than whether or not he will be able to pay his light bill. When Yokozuna drops down on The Undertaker, he will flatten him regardless of whether he is breathing or not. He says it has been a long time since The Undertaker has been laid out with words being spoken over him, and when Yokozuna takes care of him, he will be six feet under. Paul Bearer tells Cornette that they do not have to worry about a light bill as they live on the dark side, and he does not understand why Cornette would pit Yokozuna against The Undertaker. The Undertaker decrees that tonight, Yokozuna will meet the destroyer.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Tom Stone and Dan Rubins.

Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Ludvig Borga! Doink! Irwin R. Schyster! Marty Jannetty!

Boni Blackstone interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Cornette says he has some stone cold hard facts: Yokozuna is the WWF Champion now and from this point forward, and despite what anybody wants, Lex Luger will not get another shot at the WWF Championship. He then says that he and Mr. Fuji have scanned all the competition in the WWF and says there is nobody who stands a chance of beating Yokozuna. He says you can look in Yokozuna and see that he has no fear, and that you can look in everyone else's eyes and you can see fear of getting in the ring with Yokozuna, who has no compassion for his fellow man. He and Fuji looked far and wide for someone who can test Yokozuna, and there is not a soul who can put him down until a spaceship lands. All of a sudden, the arena goes dark. The Undertaker's music is heard, and The Undertaker and Paul Bearer are right behind Cornette, who is scared out of his wits when he turns around. Bearer says all Yokozuna has to do is look in The Undertaker's eyes and all he will see is darkness and evil, and that The Undertaker has a challenge. The Undertaker gets in Yokozuna's face, and he and Yokozuna have an intense staredown before The Undertaker challenges Yokozuna to bring the WWF Championship - and his soul - to the dark side.

Okerlund then interviews Bret and Yokozuna, the latter of whom is accompanied by Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Bret says the talk is over, and this Friday night he is heading into the ring to face the most dangerous wrestler of all time, and the worst part of it is that it is the most dangerous match of all. He looks forward to it, however, as this is the shot he has been looking for as Mr. Fuji cannot interfere and Yokozuna cannot run or hide. Mr. Fuji says this Friday is Friday the 13th - which is bad luck for Bret - and that Yokozuna will squash Bret until he screams in pain. Yokozuna says Bret and his family wiill say "sayonara."

We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler has underestimated him and that he has not gotten up to speed on what he can do after all he did to him. He says he will never forget what Lawler did to his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and that him embarrassing his family is what really bugged him. He says that is a line he should not have crossed, as he does not involve his family in his personal business. If Lawler wants to do that, that's fine with him, as he plans to execute him at SummerSlam like the kings of old and make sure that is the last anyone ever hears of Lawler. We then hear from Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel) and Mr. Perfect. Shawn says that he has news for Mr. Perfect: what was perfect in the past is not perfect in the '90s, and says he is perfect for the '90s and will be walking out as WWF Intercontinental Champion. Mr. Perfect says Shawn must be thinking he is something, and tells SHawn he will have to get in the ring with him and find out why he is called Mr. Perfect and why he is the greatest athlete WWF has ever produced.

"El Matador" Tito Santana beats Barry Hardy.

We see a special interview with Lex Luger. As he talks about academics, he says he never had a gung-ho dad when it came to sports, as his dad was on a music scholarship and studying to become a concert pianist when he was in college. He studied art and music in his life and stressed that on his children when they were growing up, but what he stressed must of all was academics. As Lex grew up and he wanted to take part in athletics, his dad made it crystal clear that academics were a top priority and that if he didn't get straight A's in school, he wouldn't be able to participate in athletics. His dad made it a point for him to be well-rounded, and also wanted him to take part in chorus or band. Looking back on it, it made him a more well-rounded individual, which was not a bad thing. He also talks about identity and self-esteem, saying that in his life, he used athletics as a calling card and a form of communication and acceptance, and even to this day, and even to this day, his friends are either surprised or shocked that he is a professional wrestler because he grew up shy and introverted. He remembers a time in high school when he was so shy that he never asked a girl out. He says if you excel in sports and people look at you in a certain way, being shy and introverted and quiet is considered a sign of arrogance by people who do not you. Friends who knew him learned better, but when people want to stereotype by how you look and act, they think that if you are talented at something but are shy, it means you are arrogant or stuck on yourself, which can turn into a vicious cycle. Lex feels he sometimes fight this stereotype to this day.

Bastion Booger beats Mike Bell. After the match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage steals the Magistrator, makes it "The Machostrator," and draws a cape and a crown on Bastion Booger.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. We hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The King" Jerry Lawler. Savage says Friday is his official "get back in the ring" party at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and that it will be Black Friday for Lawler. Lawler wants to know if Savage is superstitious, and tells Savage to break a bunch of mirrors to ensure he even lives to see seven more years. He says that when he gets his hand on him, he will take him into the stands where his fans are, beat him to an inch of his life and make him see starts without having to wear his star-shaped sunglasses. Savage says he can't help but Lawler, and says he will take him all the way. Lawler stands up, extends his hand, and says "May the best man win." When Savage reaches forward to shake his hand, Lawler slaps him. Savage tells Lawler that he is his at the Garden.

Ted DiBiase then makes fun of Razor Ramon losing his money to The 1-2-3 Kid, saying Ramon is stupid for walking out on national television against "a virtual nobody," not beating him, losing his cool and trying to bribe The Kid for a return match. The crowd chants "Razor" at this point, and DiBiase tells Razor to go back to the same school as the Steiners so that they can have three Steiner brothers: Moe, Larry and Curly.

Schyster), who will be facing The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) that night. Schyster says it is obvious to them that the Steiners are as stupid as they look, and if they think they can walk in and take the tag team titles from them, that proves how stupid they are. He goes on to say that the "M" on their jackets stands for "moron."

Mr. Hughes says the urn is where The Undertaker's power lies, and he is the only one who ever took it.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York on Tuesday night, June 29th. He then re-announces the show at June 27th show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will have a rematch against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, Crush meets Doink in a return bout, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will be meeting Yokozuna in a return Lumberjack Match for the WWF Championship. We hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Fuji tells Duggan he has a great opportunity in the Nassau Coliseum to win the WWF Championship in a Lumberjack Match, and Duggan cannot run away. He says that there is no way Yokozuna will run away, and no way Duggan will get Yokozuna over the top rope. He also interviews Sensational Sherri and Luna Vachon, who will go at it that night. Luna says she is the most dominant force in the WWF and the queen of the ring, and she will eliminate Sensational Sherri. Sherri tells Luna that they have done all they can in anout of the ring, and dares her to get in the ring with her as she has nothing to lose now and wants to see what Luna is made of.
