Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for June 5, 1993

Before the next match, Papa Shango says he will be entering his dark world. Many men have entered his dark circle, but no man has ever left.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Papa Shango with the Sharpshooter.

We see The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) play Royal Rumble on Super Nintendo, available this Tuesday.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Tim McNeany and Scott Taylor. After the match, The Headshrinkers attack their opponents with a pineapple.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night, June 7th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Billy Gunn and Scott Steiner will take on Fatu and Irwin R. Schyster. Also, Giant Gonzales, Harvey Wippleman, Doink and a host of others will also be there. WWF also returns to the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Sunday night, June 27th. On that night, Crush faces Doink in a return bout, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and Yokozuna will face "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in a Lumberjack Match. Okerlund interviews Yokozuna and Duggan for Face To Face. Hacksaw says Memorial Day was a day for all Americans to show respect for all the veterans who put their lives on the line to keep freedom free, but now it's back to business and that this Lumberjack Match has been set up so Mr. Fuji doesn't stick his nose in the match. Mr. Fuji speaks for Yokozuna, and reminds Duggan that Memorial Day is giving the country of Japan a lot of money, and asks how the lumberjacks will get Yokozuna back in the ring if he somehow gets him out. Hacksaw says he will do it himself if he has to.

Kamala - without Reverend Slick, who is conspicuous by his absence - beats Phil Apollo.

We hear from The 1-2-3 Kid, who says that he was watching Superstars with his grandparents when he sees Razor Ramon offering him $5000 to get back in the ring with him. He says it is a really hard decision, but he cannot accept the money knowing what will happen to him in the ring.

"The Narcissist" Lex Luger beats Jason Knight.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage speaks to the children of P.S. 384 in Brooklyn, New York.

Mr. Hughes beats Russ Greenberg. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Harvey Wippleman, who is so happy to have Mr. Hughes in his army, as he is rough, tough, mean, strong, powerful and takes no nonsense from anybody, just like him.

On the King of the Ring Report, we hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Fuji says there is only one week left before Hulk Hogan meets Yokozuna for the WWF Championship which he claims Hogan stole. He says Hogan will be punished very severely and will scream in pain when Yokozuna squashes him and nobody sees him again. He says that Yokozuna will take the belt back to Japan where it belonds, where it be placed in a shrine from all to see. We then hear from Hogan, who says he has a bone to pick as he squares off with Yokozuna. He says that he will take care of all the family business, but this one is his and all the Hulkamaniacs, all of America and all the world will be watching him and wanting a ringside seat when he takes care of Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. He says that Yokozuna will bow at his feet, and it wil be the "shaka-boom" heard all the world when he slams him onto the mat and sics Jimmy Hart on Mr. Fuji while he is at it. We then hear from "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, who says he is excited for the King of the Ring Tournament and focused, and that there is no way Bam Bam Bigelow is going to stop him.

Te Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Dale Wolfe and Gus Kantakaris.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night, June 7th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York.

We also hear from The Undertaker with Paul Bearer and Giant Gonzales with Harvey Wippleman. Wippleman says The Undertaker will end up flat on his back when he faces Giant Gonzales again, as his career will come to an end and that there is nothing The Undertaker or Paul Bearer can do about it. Bearer says that Wippleman made the fatal mistake and that it will be the end of Giant Gonzales, as The Undertaker will pull out his eyeballs and spit into the open eyesockets of his soul. The Undertaker syas that the only question left to be answered is what will be done with the rotting carcass of Giant Gonzales.

Next week: Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster)! The Undertaker! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! A special interview with Yokozuna! Razor Ramon!

He insults New York City and its wrestling fans, and says he doesn't need anyone behind him as he got the Intercontinental Championship on his own. As for Duggan, Michaels calls himself an "equal opportunity defender" and calls Duggan "ugly as the day is long." Before he can say anything to Mr. Perfect, the man he attacked backstage at WrestleMania 9, Perfect shows up, surrounded by officials trying to keep him from getting in the ring, trying to get at Michaels. Michaels kicks Perfect off the apron, and Perfect chases him all the way back to the backstage area.

Vince McMahon interviews Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. It's his first appearance since his near-fatal para-sailing accident. Brutus announces that he will return to the ring soon. Vince feels his comeback is risky, especially with his total facial reconstruction. Brutus mentions his mother's battle with cancer, the recent passing of both of his parents, and his divorce before a girl kneed him in the face while para-sailing. He mentions how he heard the doctors say that he didn't have much of a chance when another hand reached out and grabbed him...the hand of Hulk Hogan, who was with him during the surgery, telling him not to give up as he and the Hulkamaniacs were behind him. Brutus goes on to say that even afterwards, Hulk was always with him. He went to Hulk with nothing left, who tells him to go for the comeback before he can even tell him his plight. He has now signed an open contract and intends to take on any and all comers.

Schyster), and DiBiase mocks Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake before ultimately accepting it, with DiBiase winning by coin toss. Jimmy Hart shows up and tells them not to waste their time with Beefcake as one of them might get hurt, but DiBiase and IRS say the only one getting hurt is going to be Brutus. IRS also adds to the point that Beefcake may not be paying his taxes for the last three years. DiBiase says the only asset Beefcake has left is his face, and it's pretty obvious DiBiase wants to break it.

Before the break, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger views himself in the mirror when a plus-size ring girl shows up. Lex Luger is not very happy about this.

Steve Jordan of the Minnesota Vikings introduces us to the perfect passer...Mr. Perfect. And oh boy, is he perfect.
