"Make A Difference" Fatu returns to his old high school, and is glad to see that kids now have the right idea about making a difference.

Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels backstage. Michaels pushes Lawler's buttons, teasing a future match for the Intercontinental title between the two of them.

Also at SummerSlam: Bret "The Hit Man" Hart takes on Jerry "The King" Lawler's dentist, Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. We hear from Lawler and Yankem, who say that Bret Hart's career is over.

The show runs out of time before the match can end, and will be restarted next week.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Sycho Sid and Tatanka tells Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow that they will be dealing with reality when they get in the ring with them.

Luger goes after Fuji, then turns around and attacks Jim Cornette, who is trying to attack him with his tennis racket. Yokozuna takes advantage of the situation and gets Luger from behind, slamming him into the ring post and hitting him with a leg drop before climbing back into the ring before the ten count.

Next week: The Undertaker! Shawn Michaels!

We see Jerry "The King" Lawler's "training" footage of himself walking barefoot in manure in his royal stable. Jerry "The King" Lawler then finds obscene amounts of joy in replaying the footage of himself making "The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya kiss his royal foot on last week's Superstars.

Sycho Sid beats Mike Khoury.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 27, 1995

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.
