As for his attack on Bret at King of the Ring, he only saved the title so Bret's brother, "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, would take it from Bret personally.

He then introduces this week's guests: Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Lawler and Cornette mock Earthquake's sumo career, and Cornette says that Earthquake only talks about what he can do when Yokozuna proves it in the ring on a regular match. Cornette accepts the challenge, and makes it a little more interesting: make the match a sumo match. Lawler doesn't think Earthquake will go for it, but loves the idea. Cornette asks Lawler to see if Earthquake will accept the challenge, as Lawler is the only one who can get the scoop.

Next week on Superstars: Bret "Hit Man" Hart vs. Adam Bomb!

It's time for The Funeral Parlor. The set rises up from the stage as Paul Bearer asks the crowd if they can feel the spirit of The Undertaker as he says that he can feel his spirit all around. This week's special guest is Yokozuna, whom Paul Bearer says will be destined to face The Undertaker again in the future. Yokozuna shows up with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, and Cornette says he does not like it on the set and that he is getting out as fast as he ccan, as he is getting the same queasy feeling he always gets when The Undertaker is near and he is sick and tired of the "supernatural mumbo jumbo." Paul Bearer says he feels fear in the eyes of Cornette again, and asks if he thinks history will repeat itself at WrestleMania 10 as the odds are not in his favor due to Lex Luger winning the coin toss as the hand of Lady Luck waves. Cornette tells Bearer that the hand of Yokozuna is the hand that rules the WWF and the hand that will be raised in victory at WrestleMania 10, and says that the connection of WWF President Jack Tunney and Lex Luger has gone too far. He accuses Tunney of being corrupt, and says Lex Luger is a phony and a sham as he is crooked as Tunney. Suddenly, Luger shows up, and says it takes a lot of nerve for Cornette to call someone else crooked, and says that for him to insinuate that he or Jack Tunney have been doing anything behind the scenes is absurd, as Cornette is guilty of just that for the past six months in his attempts to keep him from the WWF Championship. He said that he would get another opportunity at the WWF Championship, and it has come at WrestleMania 10. When he gets Yokozuna in the ring, he is confident he will become WWF Champion, and it will be a privilege and honor to defend the title against Bret "Hit Man" Hart later that night. Cornette says it will be a relief, not an honor, since he will have beaten Yokozuna, but he will not have a prayer at getting in the ring with Bret as he has to beat Yokozuna first, which Cornette claims he will not do. Luger says Yokozuna may want to forget what he has done to him in the past, but he will not forget the feeling at WrestleMania 10 when he slams his "big, fat carcass" back to Tokyo, Japan and becomes the new WWF Champion.

He says that Bret does not want to wrestle him as he is scared that he is better than him, and that he will prove he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be as he has always known.

He says it will be Savage's last match and that he will end their feud once and for all. He plans to take Savage all over the building and pin him wherever he wants before sending him to the WWF retirement home, where Crush says Savage should have went a long time ago. Mr. Fuji tells Savage that he will personally come with a beautiful canoe, load it with beautiful flowers, and send it into the canal with Savage in it to send him into Crush's hungry jars. Crush tells Savage will have to contend with the walls and the floors in addition to him at WrestleMania 10.

This week on Raw: Irwin R. Schyster vs. Marty Jannetty!

On the WrestleMania 10 report, it is announced that Lex Luger will face Yokozuna for the WWF Championship first at WrestleMania 10 and that Bret "Hit Man" Hart will face Owen Hart before facing the winner of Luger and Yokozuna for the WWF Championship later that night. We then hear from Bret, who says it is amazing how much depends in a coin toss, and he is not sure if it will work for or against him. He wishes Lex Luger all the luck in the world, as he would rather face a gentleman. If Yokozuna comes out on top, then they know where they stand, and he wants the WWF Championship back and they both know he is going to do it. Bret says it disturbs him inside that in order to make it happen, he has to go through his own brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and as much as he detests the idea, he hopes Owen is happy with what he has done as it will get tough and Owen will pay for what he has done. It is then made official that "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Crush will face off in a Last Man Standing Match where falls count absolutely anywhere in the building and the winner must get back to the ring in 60 seconds.

Kwang - managed by Harvey Wippleman - beats John Paul in his WWF debut.

We hear from Paul Bearer, who asks the fans if they can feel the spirit of The Undertaker, as he feels it all around and he feels it most in the cemetery. As a shadow of The Undertaker is nearby, Paul Bearer says The Underaker being gone could not be any further from the truth and that The Undertaker will never rest in peace, as he will return. We then see one final color-inverted image of The Undertaker.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) ends in a 10-minute time limit draw. (Had The Steiners won in ten minutes or less, they would have gotten a tag team title shot against The Quebecers next week.) Before the match, The Quebecers stay true to their words and keep the WWF Tag Team Championships in the locker room, never showing up with them despite the match being a non-title match. It is also announced that "The Model" Rick Martel will face "Macho Man" Randy Savage next week. During the match, Johnny Polo rings the bell to end the match prematurely, but it does not work when he gets caught, and the match continues. Johnny Polo then gets in the ring and falls victim to an assisted top rope Steiner bulldog, causing the time limit to expire.

We hear from "The Rocket" Owen Hart, who says there is no doubt that his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart has done it all in the WWF. However, that was then and this is now; he has never faced him and everything Bret has done was all before he met him in the ring. At WrestleMania 10, when he beats him for the three-count, that will make him better than Bret and he will be able to take it one step higher. He then says that once "The Rocket" is lit and he soars straight to the top, there is nothing that will stop him.

Dana Zielke is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Doink quickly beats George South, then Dink squirts water out of the flower on his jacket at George South.

The newest issue of WWF Magazine, with The Undertaker on the cover, is on newsstands this Tuesday.

We hear from Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Cornette says that he and Fuji have been ripped off and that Jack Tunney has concocted the ultimate revenge against Yokozuna. He says that The Undertaker was made into the savior of the World Wrestling Federation only to be put in his place, and now Yokozuna has to wrestle twice in the same match. Cornette says that Yokozuna will beat Lex Luger and face Bret "Hit Man" Hart, which means that they cannot find anyone to beat Yokozuna and they have to stack people up to take the WWF Championship from him. He says that before WrestleMania 10, there will be changes, and those changes will be the health of both Bret and Luger.

Next week: Crush! The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke)! Ludvig Borga! An update on the sage of Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 31, 1994

Irwin R. Schyster guests on commentary this week.

Marty Jannetty takes the place of The 1-2-3 Kid in the match with Johnny Polo, who says that The Kid is faking his injury and that Jannetty isn't even in his league since he beat him already. Jannety is about to speak on the mic, but uses it as a weapon by wrapping the cord around Polo's feet when Polo charges him. The 1-2-3 Kid guests on commentary.

Marty Jannetty beats Johnny Polo. After the match, The 1-2-3 Kid confronts Irwin R. Schyster for stealing Razor Ramon's gold, and I.R.S. attacks him, almost clocking Vince McMahon in the process. Marty Jannetty hops out of the ring and goes after I.R.S., and The 1-2-3 Kid takes the opportunity to steal the briefcase and limps away with it. After officials separate I.R.S. and Jannetty, I.R.S. finds out that his briefcase has been stolen, and blames it on Jannetty.

After the commercial break, an irate Irwin R. Schyster heads back to the back, thinking Marty Janetty stole his briefcase. Suddenly, Razor Ramon shows up with his gold around his neck, and Marty Jannetty shows up with the briefcase. He tosses it back to I.R.S., who is stopped by officials from reclaiming Razor's gold.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Miguel Rosado.

The coin toss for WrestleMania 10 is decided. If Lex Luger wins, Bret Hart must face Owen Hart, then take on the winner of Luger vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. If Bret Hart wins, Lex Luger must face Crush, then take on the winner of Hart vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. The coin used is an American half-dollar (which is called a silver dollar by WWF President Jack Tunney). Lex Luger calls heads as it is flipped into the air by Tunney, and Luger wins the coin toss. Lex Luger is thrilled to win the coin toss and be Royal Rumble co-winner, and wishes Bret Hart the best of luck. As for Bret Hart, he has no choice but to deal with his brother Owen Hart, and considers Luger a worthy opponent. He wants to lock up with him for the WWF Championship.
