Bret "Hit Man" Hart says hearing that "The King" Jerry Lawler is the undisputed king of the WWF makes him sick, especially when he had him in the Sharpshooter for two-and-a-half minutes and came just short of ending his career.

He is glad to be the first one in line to give him a big U.S.A. welcome to the World Wrestling Federation and show him what competition is all about. Ludvig says he will give him a European farewell for his career, because if this is the top of the ladder, then he is not impressed with the WWF, Luger or America.

Bam Bam says he will make him pay for his pranks and humiliating him and Luna, and when he gets done with him, Doink will wish he was back in the circus on top of a tightrope.

Polo says The Gunns are climbing the ladder, while they are the top of the ladder and they will stay there after October 29th.

Okerlund smells friction between Bigelow and Adam Bomb, but Johnny Polo insists there is no animosity and that he and Luna Vachon have devised a strategy to take the tag team titles from The Steiners. Luna says that if there is any problems, it is that she only wants to stand by Bam Bam Bigelow, the most dominant man in the World Wrestling Federation. She says that Bigelow wants to get together with Adam Bomb to face The Steiners. Bam Bam Bigelow says he and Adam Bomb will burn it all together and that there will be an inferno, and both Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo declare that when one of the Steiners is put in the Atom Smasher, up they will go and down they will stay.

The 1-2-3 Kid calls a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and although he is nervous, it is an honor to step into the ring with Shawn Michaels. Shawn says he can understand why The Kid is nervous, as he will be wrestling the greatest to grace a World Wrestling Federation wrestling ring. Shawn says guys like Razor Ramon and Ted DiBiase treated The Kid like a push-over, but he says there are no push-overs in the WWF and that The 1-2-3 Kid is willing to do anything to get to the top. He likes that, as it reminds him of himself, and if he gets in the ring with him, his streak will be over. Diesel says with his size, he has the advantage of being able to attack, then respond. If Mr. Perfect wants a piece of him, he will put him down. (The match in question is taking place in Madison Square Garden in New York on September 25th.)

It's time for another edition of The King's Court. "The King" Jerry Lawler takes the opportunity to thank his thousands of supporters who have been concerned about the condition of his leg, and announces that his leg is almost back at 100% and says it is almost a miracle. He says it won't be long before he returns and his supporters will be happy. He says his supporters are also concerned that his self-appointed royal court jester Doink did not take care of and protect him from Bret "Hit Man" Hart as he promised, and that Doink is upset due to the names he called him on the last edition of The King's Court, then proceeds to call Doink "an imbecilic idiot" because he did not live up to his word. He says Doink is a court jester, and a poor one, and tells him to stay in his place. He then warns Bret, saying his leg is almost healed and that he has beaten him on crutches, saying he doesn't have to be at his best to beat him. He tells Bret to stay far away from him and not even be in the same city as he is, because if their paths cross, he will not be held responsible for what happens to him and that Bret will find out who is the one and only undisputed king of the World Wrestling Federation.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan tells Mr. Perfect that he has heard him asking questions of the other wrestlers about Narcissus, and says that comparing Mr. Perfect to Narcissus would be like comparing ice cream to horse manure.

After the match, Mr. Perfect drop kicks The Berzerker out of the ring.

During the Update, we hear from Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who tells Mr. Perfect that he has a high opinion of himself by calling himself a perfect athlete and wrestler. He says that when "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is done with him, he will be flawed, scarred and tarnished. That is why he will soon unveil at Royal Rumble someone who is "beyond perfect" who not only has a high opinion of himself but is also honestly in love with himself. When Mr. Perfect feasts his eyes on the person he unveils, he will look back and say he was not perfect at all, and that he did not measure up without the influence of Bobby Heenan.

We hear from Bret, who says that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. He says Bam Bam is one of the biggest, and he will fall by the wayside with the rest. He knows Bam Bam Bigelow has been wiping out opponents one after another since he showed up, but that does not mean he cannot get the Sharpshooter around him. Bret says he is famous for being the greatest and best technical wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation, which is why will he be and stay champion after January 29th. He says Bam Bam Bigelow may have faced a lot of wrestlers, but he has not faced a wrestle quite like the excellence of execution.

We get a sneak peek of the premier of WWF Mania with some footage of Razor Ramon attacking "The Rocket" Owen Hart in a locker room.

DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster are looking forward to the Royal Rumble match, which has 28 tax cheats (excluding the two of them), and a shot at the WWF Champion. Should they both be the final two, the better man will win, but the money and the WWF Championship will all go to them. Flair says that he won it all last year and won the vacant WWF Championship in an hour and ten minutes, and this year, he'll be coming for everyone again. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), soon to be facing The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) at Royal Rumble, say that the pleasure will be all theirs, as they will not take them lightly and they will be the only ones celebrating when the match is over.

Crush beats Dave Sigfrids with the Cranium Crusher. During the match, the clown comes back and squirts water at people in the aisle. We also see pre-recorded comments from Crush, who wishes everyone a happy new year as he says the Royal Rumble match is his chance to prove he wants to be on top in the World Wrestling Federation.

Mr. Perfect will have to prove to him that he is indeed perfect. Also, Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty. We hear from Jannetty, who says it is a great opportunity for him because he gets a shot at Shawn, which he has wanted for a long time. He says there is nothing anybody can do to stop him from taking Shawn's title as well as his career.

'Next week: Bam Bam Bigelow! The Undertaker! Kamala! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)!

Raymond Rougeau interviews Crush, who says he knows a few things about clowns, and that his grandfather was a clown who was fun to be around and loved to make people laugh. He says that the clown seen in recent week only wants to hurt people, and that when he started messing with the kids, he crossed a line. He hopes that the clown takes his advice.
