Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 8, 1994
The Undertaker beats Butch Banks.
Leslie Nielsen has been tracking down leads for "The Case of the Undertakers," but the trail has run cold every time.
Before the next match, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase has a friendly exchange with Lex Luger. It doesn't seem like Luger wants any part of what looks like an offer from DiBiase, however. After the commercial break, DiBiase tells Vince McMahon and "Macho Man" Randy Savage that he told Luger not to worry about a thing.
Lex Luger beats Chad Miller.
It is announced that Pro Football Hall of Famer "Sweetness" Walter Payton will be in Razor Ramon's corner in his match against Diesel for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. Also, Alundra Blayze will defend the WWF Women's Championship against Bull Nakano, Mabel will take on "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Irwin R. Schyster and Bam Bam Bigelow. Also, it's official: Lex Luger and Tatanka will square off at SummerSlam.
Irwin R. Schyster and Bam Bam Bigelow beat Doink and Tatanka when Tatanka unwittingly distracts the referee . After the match, Tatanka fights both I.R.S. and Bam Bam alone after Doink is tossed out of the ring. Lex Luger rushes in to help, but he is too late. He and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase have a confrontation, and DiBiase shoves a stack of money in Luger's hand before leaving. Tatanka comes to and confronts Luger, and notices the money still in Luger's hand. Both men argue, and officials have to keep the men separated as I.R.S. try to stir the pot further.
Next week on Raw: The 1-2-3 Kid vs. "The King of Harts" Owen Hart!
It's time for The King's Court. "The King" Jerry Lawler's guest this week is whom he considers true royalty: "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, who shows up with "The Anvil" Jim Neidhart. Owen considers his SummerSlam match with Bret "Hitman" Hart a dream come true after years of dealing with him. He paints Bret as a bully since childhood and tells Lawler that his entire family has come around and sided with him. Lawler says there's still one family member who's still behind Bret, and Lawler has him on the show right now: Bruce Hart, who shows up and tells Owen that nobody in the family is on his side and calls him out on relying on Nedihart to become King of the Ring. He calls Owen a disgrace to the family, and both Bruce and Owen argue. Bruce tells Owen that there will be nobody to protect him in the steel cage at SummerSlam. Neidhart says there's one jealous brother in the family, and Bruce tells Neidhart that the jealous brother is him. The segment ends with Bruce continuing to argue with Owen and The Anvil.
Bob Backlund beats Kevin Krueger with the Crossface Chicken Wing. Backlund refuses to let go of the hold for several seconds, then finally releases it and looks at his hands.
Next week: Paul Bearer and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase on The King's Court!
Cameras have caught up with Lex Luger, who is looking for "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, but he is soon followed by Tatanka, and the show ends with Tatanka and Luger in a shoving match.

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.
Adam Bomb beats Kevin Krueger.
Joe Fowler advertises the Madison Square Garden supercard with a now-triple main event taking place tonight at 8 PM. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker, Mr. Perfect faces Diesel, Tatanka does battle with Irwin R. Schyster, and Razor Ramon faces "The Model" Rick Martel. It is then announced that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will be defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, and that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) are no longer in the match. 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.
The 1-2-3 Kid beats Jack Reno.
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.
Joe Fowler advertises the Madison Square Garden supercard with a now-triple main event taking place tonight at 8 PM. The 1-2-3 Kid will also be facing Bastion Booger on this night. 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.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for July 10, 1993
We see footage from last Sunday, July 4th at The Stars and Stripes Challenge at the USS Intrepid. Many American pro athletes tried, and even a few Superstars, but none could slam Yokozuna. Crush came close but was forced to put him down, and even "Macho Man" Randy Savage could not do it. All of sudden, a helicopter lands, and Lex Luger - no longer a narcissist and dressed in blue jeans and an American flag shirt - climbs out and heads to the ring. Fuji tells Luger that the contest is over, he says that ever since King of the Ring, Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna have been under his skin. He says there is nothing wrong with America, but he says there is something with "blood-sucking leeches" like Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna putting American down. Fuji spits on Luger, then Luger grabs Fuji and tosses him out of the ring. After hitting him with the steel-plated forearm, Luger picks Yokozuna up and slams him into the mat to thunderous applause.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Rock Warner and W.T. Jones. During the match, it is announced that the newest issue of WWF Magazine - with Bret Hart on the cover and photos of The Smoking Gunns inside - will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for July 19th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Men on a Mission (Mabel, Oscar, Mo) will debut there, and "The King" Jerry Lawler will host an edition of The King's Court with special guest, singer and musician Tiny Tim. Also, The Undertaker will face Mr. Hughes one-on-one. He also advertises a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13, where Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Bret "Hit Man" Hart in a Steel Cage Match. Hart and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) are interviewed for Face To Face. Hart appreciates the fact that Yokozuna was slammed on the USS Intrepid, and says it proves anything is possible. He says that Madison Square Garden is like his backyard, and a Steel Cage Match, despite being very dangerous, has to work in his favor as 550 lbs. has a lot of trouble climbing out of the cage and a lot of trouble "getting that big butt through the door." Even better, Mr. Fuji can't stick his nose in his business, as he has Yokozuna all to himself. Mr. Fuji is angry with WWF President Jack Tunney booking this match, as all Bret has to do is run away to win the title. He promises that Bret will pay.
Before the next match, Doink appears on the video screen, saying Crush is so stupid that he does not know if there is one Doink, two Doinks, four Doinks or even sixteen Doinks. As Doink speaks, Doink pops up out of the ring and stands behind Crush. The Doink on the video screen says Crush should be concerned with the Doink behind him instead. The Doink in the ring gets a cheap shot, starting the next match.
Crush beats Doink by count-out. After the match, Crush tosses Doink out of the ring when he gets back in for more, and is kept out of the ring by the referee. As Crush watches Doink leave, another Doink pops up from underneath the ring and attacks Crush from behind with a stick. The real Doink gets back in the ring, and both Doinks take the boots to Crush as referees try to stop them.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships: next week on Superstars!
Shawn Michaels beats Kevin Krueger. During the match, it is announced that an article featuring Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect is in the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available on newsstands this Tuesday.
On the SummerSlam Report, Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells "The King" Jerry Lawler that he wanted a fight and that Lawler had to start one with the Hit Man. He started a war, and he has now started a fire underneath him that only he can put out, and that Lawler started something only he can finish. Lawler may have assaulted him at King of the Ring and ruined the coronation ceremony, but when he steps in the ring with him at SummerSlam, Lawler will be in the ring with a totally different breed of cat. He will wipe Lawler out and destroy him, and he will take him to the gallows, where he will be excellently executed.
Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Chad Miller and Mitch Bishop in their WWF debut, which also debuts the rapping skills of Oscar.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13. Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty meet Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow in a six-man tag match, while "Macho Man' Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Back at the commentary table, Vince McMahon hypes the match up. Lawler says he has proved who the only king of the World Wrestling Federation and will prove it at SummerSlam, and says Savage will be a warm-up. Savage says there will be "rockin' and reelin' and dancin' on the ceilin'" at Madison Square Garden, but Lawler says he will be the party pooper. Lawler then tells all the New Yorkers to get down on their hands and knees and kiss his feet, and bow down to the real king of wrestling. He says Savage will be doing the same thing, and that he will stick his scepter so far down his throat, they will need a crane to pull it out.
Next week: Lex Luger! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster)!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 25, 1992
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beats Ron Cumberledge with the Figure Four Leg Lock. During the match, it is announced that pictures of Miss Elizabeth with "Macho Man" Randy Savage - and also doctored to replace Savage with Flair - are in the newest issue of WWF Magazine.
We see footage from the WrestleMania 8 reception, with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Hulk Hogan. We also see footage from the WrestleMania 8 brunch with Sean Mooney, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Sgt. Slaughter, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and "The Model" Rick Martel.
The British Bulldog beats Kevin Krueger. Before the match, Mr. Perfect shows up on commentary for the rest of the show after being in "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's corner for the previous match.
We see an advertisement for WBF Bodystars on Saturday mornings on USA Network.
Before the next match, The Genius says through poetry that a sissy is the one thing he cannot tolerate and that he knows The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) agree; he also says that Paul Ellering and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) are in need of masculinity.
The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) beat Eric Collins and Mike Freedom. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Beverly Brothers, who say that they are better than The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk), whom they call "The Legion of Sissies." The Genius cuts in, also saying that Paul Ellering is a sissy. After the match, Eric Collins gets green paint plastered on his face, courtesy of the Genius, while The Beverly Brothers write "LOS" with a D crossed out and call Collins "chicken."
We hear from The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Paul Ellering. Ellering says it is time to rewrite the history books, as only the victors write them. He says he has returned and that the Legion of Doom does not write checks it cannot cash. Animal tells The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) that they have been spoiled all their lives and had the best teachers in the World Wrestling Federation, but they are a stepping stone to the tag titles. Hawk says there are many differences between them and the Beverlys, as the Beverlys get pedicures at the beauty shop while they take their nails and chop them off with an ax. He tells The Beverly Brothers they are in for a lot of pain. We also hear from Repo Man, who says he is such a nice guy because he was just reading the paper and found out that the economy is bad and that the government might do something about it. It is then that he thought that he could be of help, since he is the guy who takes the car away when someone cannot pay the bills, and while he hates it when a family doesn't have any moment and can't feed their kids, he likes to take whatever he can and get rich at their expense.
We see another vignette for Crush, who says that when he was growing up, his mom used to tell him to mind his manners. Now, he is fully grown, and asks who in the WWF will make him mind his manners now.
Shawn Michaels beats George Anderson. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he heard what Shawn said last week, and tells him he has to beat him for the WWF Intercontinental Championship first and that he will not let someone like him tarnish the title.
The newest issue of WBF Magazine will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.
We hear from The Texas Tornado, who says that when he came to the World Wrestling Federation, he knew the challenges would be the toughest in the world and that he would fight the best in the world. However, he fights for other reasons; while others fight for titles and money, he fights for pride and honor, as he stands for hard work and guts as dreams are what he is made of. We then hear from Jimmy Hart and The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and BrianKnobbs), who say that they are not only blazing back up to the top, but have opponents waiting to come to their "pit stop." They say that everyone they come across are going to be victims, as they are on the way to tag team gold.
Sgt. Slaughter beats The Brooklyn Brawler with the Cobra Clutch. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Sgt. Slaughter, who says that when The Mountie gets in the ring with him, he will not only get his man, but The Mountie will be an international disgrace and an "international maggot."
WrestleMania 8 is now available from Coliseum Home Video!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sid Justice on the stage. Sid says it was only last week when The Ultimate Warrior was on the stage with some young fans stating that one must have friends to be a leader. He tells Warrior that he needs no friends, because he is the man in the WWF that everyone fears. He then talks about Warrior showing up at WrestleMania 8 and putting his nose in his business only to fail to save Hulk Hogan, calling WrestleMania 8 "the end of Hulkamania." Sid then asks Warrior who will save him from Sid Justice, as he is the man who gave Hulk Hogan his last match and he is the man who sees that Warrior's match with him will be Warrior's last.
Ring announcer Howard Finkel announces that Shawn Michaels has left the building.
The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) beat Kent Carlson and Tom Stone. During the match, we see pre-recorded commentary from Jimmy Hart and Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), who tell The Natural Disasters that they are crying over spilled milk now that they have the tag team titles again.
We hear from Skinner, who says that ever since he came to the WWF, he has had to prove himself to everybody, not to his opponents, but to the world. He says he will do anything to win a match, but he is proving himself slowly but surely. He says that he is able to stand up with more muscular Superstars because he is hungry, mean and willing to beat everyone who gets in his way. We also hear from Tatanka, who thanks all the great spirits above and the great chiefs of past, present and future for his WWF success, as well as the fans for all their support. His goal is to rise to the top of the WWF and make his people proud once again as he trains and works hard to reach the top of the World Wrestling Federation.
Before the next match, Mr. Fuji takes The Undertaker's urn from Paul Bearer. This distracts The Undertaker, allowing The Berzerker to attack Paul Bearer and The Undertaker with his shield before going after The Undertaker with his sword, which pierces the canvas of the ring as The Undertaker rolls out of the way to avoid being stabbed. The Undertaker avoids this and get his hand around Mr. Fui's throat, but this allows The Berzerker to attack again, rip some floor mats off and hit The Undertaker with a piledriver on the exposed concrete floor. Paul Bearer manages to revive The Undertaker with the urn, and Mr. Fuji and The Berzerker run away to the back while The Undertaker and Paul Bearer slowly give chase.
We hear from Skinner, who tells The Ultimate Warrior that he will beat his brains out and show him why he is not scared of anybody. We then hear from The Ultimate Warrior, who says that those who have forgotten his power and what he represents should keep in mind - along with Skinner's swamp creatures - that he has walked in darker places and felt nastier things than the taste of the chewing tobacco Skinner keeps in his mouth. He says that Skinner will fall like those before to the power of The Ultimate Warrior next week.
Next week: Skinner vs. The Ultimate Warrior! A special interview with "Macho Man" Randy Savage! An update on the Undertaker/Berzerker incident!

We see an advertisement for WBF Bodystars on Saturday mornings on USA Network.
Before the next match, The Genius says through poetry that a sissy is the one thing he cannot tolerate and that he knows The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) agree; he also says that Paul Ellering and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) are in need of masculinity.
The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) beat Eric Collins and Mike Freedom. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Beverly Brothers, who say that they are better than The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk), whom they call "The Legion of Sissies." The Genius cuts in, also saying that Paul Ellering is a sissy. After the match, Eric Collins gets green paint plastered on his face, courtesy of the Genius, while The Beverly Brothers write "LOS" with a D crossed out and call Collins "chicken."
We hear from The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Paul Ellering. Ellering says it is time to rewrite the history books, as only the victors write them. He says he has returned and that the Legion of Doom does not write checks it cannot cash. Animal tells The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) that they have been spoiled all their lives and had the best teachers in the World Wrestling Federation, but they are a stepping stone to the tag titles. Hawk says there are many differences between them and the Beverlys, as the Beverlys get pedicures at the beauty shop while they take their nails and chop them off with an ax. He tells The Beverly Brothers they are in for a lot of pain. We also hear from Repo Man, who says he is such a nice guy because he was just reading the paper and found out that the economy is bad and that the government might do something about it. It is then that he thought that he could be of help, since he is the guy who takes the car away when someone cannot pay the bills, and while he hates it when a family doesn't have any moment and can't feed their kids, he likes to take whatever he can and get rich at their expense.
We see another vignette for Crush, who says that when he was growing up, his mom used to tell him to mind his manners. Now, he is fully grown, and asks who in the WWF will make him mind his manners now.
Shawn Michaels beats George Anderson. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he heard what Shawn said last week, and tells him he has to beat him for the WWF Intercontinental Championship first and that he will not let someone like him tarnish the title.
The newest issue of WBF Magazine will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.
We hear from The Texas Tornado, who says that when he came to the World Wrestling Federation, he knew the challenges would be the toughest in the world and that he would fight the best in the world. However, he fights for other reasons; while others fight for titles and money, he fights for pride and honor, as he stands for hard work and guts as dreams are what he is made of. We then hear from Jimmy Hart and The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and BrianKnobbs), who say that they are not only blazing back up to the top, but have opponents waiting to come to their "pit stop." They say that everyone they come across are going to be victims, as they are on the way to tag team gold.
Sgt. Slaughter beats The Brooklyn Brawler with the Cobra Clutch. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Sgt. Slaughter, who says that when The Mountie gets in the ring with him, he will not only get his man, but The Mountie will be an international disgrace and an "international maggot."
WrestleMania 8 is now available from Coliseum Home Video!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sid Justice on the stage. Sid says it was only last week when The Ultimate Warrior was on the stage with some young fans stating that one must have friends to be a leader. He tells Warrior that he needs no friends, because he is the man in the WWF that everyone fears. He then talks about Warrior showing up at WrestleMania 8 and putting his nose in his business only to fail to save Hulk Hogan, calling WrestleMania 8 "the end of Hulkamania." Sid then asks Warrior who will save him from Sid Justice, as he is the man who gave Hulk Hogan his last match and he is the man who sees that Warrior's match with him will be Warrior's last.
