Crush beats Jay Stryker with the Cranium Crusher.
During Update, "The Rocket" Owen Hart gives credit where credit is due to his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart, and says that if he beats Bret, it will make him better than Bret when he beats him at WrestleMania 10.
Sgt. Thompson is honorary ring announcer for the next match.
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Brad Anderson. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says that Valentine's Day is coming soon and that he has a heart, and it belong to Luna Vachon. The moonsault that Bam Bam uses to finish off Brad Anderson ends up being his Valentine's Day gift for Luna.
We hear from Jim Cornette, who says that he and Mr. Fuji are thinking about WrestleMania 10, as both Lex Luger and Bret "Hit Man" Hart have to be taken seriously. He says both Luger and Bret are both going down. He mentions that Bret's match with his brother "The Rocket' Owen Hart will mess with Bret's emotions, and if he snaps Owen's legs, he will be at a disadvantage. For that, Luger is the guy to be more concerned with, as he can still finish Yokozuna off with the steel plate in his forearm and do whatever he has to do to win the WWF Championship from him. He says that the prophecy has come true before, and it will come true again at WrestleMania 10.
Next week on Superstars: "The Rocket" Owen Hart vs. Marty Jannetty!
The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke) quickly beat Barry Horowitz and Reno Riggins.

Whoever grabs the titles first will be the winner and the undisputed Intercontiental Champion. We hear from Shawn, who says that their match is unprecedented and that there is none better to deliver in the match as he takes bac what is rightfully his. We then hear from Razor, who says that there is too much confusion and that somebody will decide at WrestleMania 10 and that somebody will leave the real champion. Also at WrestleMania 10, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) take on The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and Alundra Blayze will defend the WWF Women's Championship against Debbie Combs.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage beats "The Model" Rick Martel. Before the match, it is announced that an article on "Macho Man" Randy Savage staying drug free for years is in the current issue of WWF Magazine, available on newsstands now.
We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart. He is preparing for WrestleMania 10 like he prepares for everything else. He is 100% physically and he is mentally sound, but emotionally, things are a little tougher. He wanted to avoid a physical confrontation with his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, whom he says is in his prime and can be a threat to anyone. He says he has not felt comfortable with the match, and while Owen is more aerial and he is more ground-based, he is confident he can get past Owen. He wants Lex Luger to beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but admits that match is too close to call. Nevertheless, he is prepared for anything at WrestleMania 10.
Next week: Earthquake returns! Alundra Blayze vs. Heidi Lee Morgan for the WWF Women's Championship! The Funeral Parlor returns!
We hear from Paul Bearer, who says that next week, the fans will witness the return of The Funeral Parlor with special guest Yokozuna. He also says that the spirit of The Undertaker might be there, too.

He says tonight will be their night, and talks about how Bret brought a different WWF championship home and laid it on the dining room table. He then says tonight will be the night that he does that alongside Bret with the tag team titles, and he will get his big break and lift off higher than he has ever gone before. He says that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) are going down and that they will be number one. Bret says that his altercation with Owen is water under the bridge and does not matter anymore, as they are a unit and a pair of brothers going to the top. Tonight, they will prove they are the greatest team in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, and when The Quebecers lose, they will be winning the WWF Tag Team Championship for themselves and their family as well as for the fans. He says it is showtime and that there is no stopping them now.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 1, 1994
Before the next match, Quebecer Jacques says he wants to settle something once and for all. He says everyone knows that Lex Luger has a steel plate in his arm, and that he knocked Quebecer Pierre and kept him from participating in Survivor Series. He has some news for Luger: Jacques, Pierre and Johnny Polo have filed a formal complaint, and announces that he will not face Lex Luger until he sees a doctor's note which states that the steel plate has been removed from Luger's right arm. Jacques and Johnny Polo are about to leave, but referees stop them and tell them the match will be happening.
Lex Luger beats Quebecer Jacques. During the match, Lex Luger inadvertently whips Quebecer Jacques into referee Joey Marella, sandwiching him in the corner. Luger goes for the running forearm smash, but Jacques manages to keep the move from happening. Quebecer Pierre shows up, and Johnny Polo drags Jacques out of the ring as Pierre hits Luger with a leg drop. Pierre goes for the pinfall as Johnny Polo wakes Joey Marella up, but Luger kicks out. Luger wrestles Pierre anyway, and hits him with the running forearm smash for the win. Jacques gets in the ring to argue with the referee, but Luger manages to hit Jacques with the forearm anyway to get the win for real. After the match, Johnny Polo gets in the ring to argue with Marella, but he also becomes a running forearm smash recipient.
Jim Ross advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th with a triple main event. There will be a special 30-man New York City Royal Rumble, with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush, The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey), The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), Scott Steiner, The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) Doink, and The Bushwhackers (Butch and Luke) all participating. Yokozuna will also defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka. We hear from Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, who mocks Tatanka's vow of revenge and says they will be nothing compared to what he will suffer on the 17th. He says his people felt that pain as he continues to mock their suffering, and says the other people should not be suffering and that they should all get a job because they are unemployed. He then says Tatanka will be out of professional wrestling along with his oath of revenge when Yokozuna squashes him with the Banzai Drop. All the while, Mr. Fuji laughs. We then hear from Tatanka, who says that this is the most important bout of his career, as he is doing this out of revenge and for the WWF Championship. He is the first American, he represents America to the fullest, and he has not forgotten the weeks of pain and suffering that Yokozuna put him through. He tells Yokozuna to prepare himself for battle, because he will inflict suffering upon him and take the WWF Championship away.
Razor Ramon tells us not to smoke.
The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Mike Khoury and Tim McNeany. As the match begins, we see pre-recorded comments from Afa and The Headshrinkers, where they talk about the upcoming Royal Rumble Match in Samoan.
Rene Rougeau interviews Razor Ramon. He has said it many times: if something happens to his gold chains, something happens to you. He asks Irwin R. Schyster if he knows how long and hard he worked to buy that precious gold, and asks him what a man like him can do to a guy like I.R.S. When asked about Shawn Michaels hitting him with The Razor's Edge, Razor Ramon says nobody knows how deadly The Razor's Move better than he does, and that is why he uses it. He then tells Irwin . Schyster that where he comes from, it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. He is up, he is coming to Royal Rumble, and he is bringing the gold that cannot be bought. If Irwin R. Schyster wants it, he will have to fight.
Trevor Jones is honorary ring announcer for the next match.
Bastion Booger beats Tony Roy.
Thurman "Sparky" Plugg is coming soon to the World Wrestling Federation!
"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats Barry Hardy with the Sharpshooter. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Owen Hart and Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Owen says that at Royal Rumble, they will be coming for the tag team titles, as Bret has been at the top of the mountain once before and they're coming for it again. Bret says they are in focus, and that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will find out the hard way that they mean business.
On the Royal Rumble Report, it is announced that Billy Gunn, Bart Gunn, "The Model" Rick Martel, Bastion Booger, Marty Jannetty, Mo, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, Ludvig Borga and Tatanka. The last three participants will be announced next week. It is also announced that WWF President Jack Tunney is very nervous about the immense public outcry of support for allowing Lex Luger to participate in the Royal Rumble Match. The opinion poll will close at midnight this Sunday. We then hear from Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Bearer says 1994 is a brand new year and a time to reflect upon past mistakes, but also a time to look towards the future. Bearer goes on to say that 1994 will be "the year of the casket." The Undertaker says he has made his new year's resolution, and Yokozuna will rest in peace.
Ludvig Borga beats John Crystal with the Torture Rack. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says that his wishes have been granted from the powers above, and now he has two opportunities to exact revenge on Ludvig Borga and inflict pain upon him just as Borga did.
Jim Ross re-advertises the January 17th show. Rick Steiner faces Ludvig Borga, and Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. We hear from Jarrett, who says that if Madison Square Garden is Razor's second home, he would hate to see his first, because that is the most dilapidated building he has ever seen in his life. It will be his debut appearance there, and he tells Razor Ramon to get ready, as the Intercontinental Championship will be around his waist. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says that Madison Square Garden is not only special to him, but to every wrestler who gets goosebumps walking in. He tells Jarrett to step into his den, as he is bringing his gold and his fists, and they will fight.
Next week: Razor Ramon! "Double" Jeff Jarrett! Bret "Hit Man" Hart! Yokozuna in a rare appearance in a handicap match! WWF President Jack Tunney makes his decision as to whether or not Lex Luger will be in the Royal Rumble Match!

"The Rocket" Owen Hart says it was a family feud, but it was not supposed to be the Hart family against him.

He tells Bret to stay out of his way, as he is now looking out for number one. Bret tells Owen to put this behind him, saying it is not important, that everyone in the family is proud of each other and that Owen did great.

It's time for Reo's Roundup. Reo Rodgers interviews Shawn Michaels, whom he calls the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion. Shawn shows up in a suit, and says everyone is grateful that the Intercontinental Champion is back in town. He says WWF President Jack Tunney suspended him and stripped him of the title for not making contractual obligations, and says he answers to no man, follows no rules, and comes and goes as he pleases. If he feels like going out on his boat in Texas instead of defending the title at Madison Square Garden, he is going to do it. As for Razor Ramon, him being the Intercontinental Champion concerns him, as he looks like he combs his hair with a pork chop, spent his whole life in the gutter, and strapped a gold belt along his waist and suddenly called himself the Intercontinental Champion. He is afraid this will cause an epidemic, as any joe (or Jose) can get a gold belt anywhere and call himself a champion. He then says there is only one undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion, and it is him. Suddenly, Razor Ramon shows up and tells Shawn he has been hearing him tell the whole world that he is the undisputed Intercontinental Champion, and if it was up to him, he would take the gold the easy way. All he has to do is beat him one, two, three, but just like his whole life, he has to do it the hard way, go through 19 of the best and fight his way from the bottom to the very top, where he likes it. He then says to say hello to the real Intercontinental champ. Shawn blows bubble gum in his face, but Razor pops it with his toothpick and apologizes for bursting his bubble.

Borga says he did not lose and that Lex Luger cheated the last time they met, and next week, he will finish Lex Luger once and for all and show everyone he is no hero. Luger says he will get a chance to prove that next week, because when he gets in the ring, they are face-to-face, and forearm pad or no forearm pad, he wants to settle this and once for all because he and the fans are tired of listening to him. He cannot wait to take him out one more time, as there will be no more excuses when the square off in the Meadowlands.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat The Executioners (Pain and Agony).
Lex Luger says The All-Americans (Luger, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner) have never been more ready than they are right now for Survivor Series. Tatanka, who is not here, has a match later tonight, as do The Steiner Brohthers (Rick and Scott Steiner), who are. Scott tells The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Jacques, Pierre) to pay attention later on, as they have never been more psyched and focused than they are right now. Rick says it will get wild and crazy in the dog pound. They are gladiators, which makes them survivors, and they will be survivors at Survivor Series. Luger says Ludvig Borga has said that he will start eliminating people this week, and they will be watching each others backs as they will be the ones to survive.

Last time, Diesel tried to make a name for himself and failed. This time, Razor will bring all his gold, and if Diesel wants it after shining it for Shawn Michaels, he will have to go through him. Diesel tells Razor that when he leaves the ring that night, he will leave four or five pounds lighter as talk is cheap. Razor tells Diesel that if he wants to fight, he will fight, but if he wants to wrestle, he'll do that, too. Either way, the Intercontinental Championship will still be his.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Bert Centeno and Chris Duffy. During the match, Quebecer Jacques tells The Steiners that they will never digest the beating they gave them for the tag titles, and next week, he will give Rick Steiner a personal beating he will never forget.

Before the next match, Ludvig Borga, who says that Tatanka represents all Americans, and in a few minutes, he will not only beat Tatanka, he will destroy him.
In a battle of the undefeated, Ludvig Borga beats Tatanka to end his undefeated streak once and for all, but not without controversy. During the match, Mr. Fuji shows up and waves his Japanese flag at ringside. After the commercial break, Ludvig Borga tosses tosses Tatanka over the top rope, and as Mr. Fuji distracts the referee, Ludvig Borga smashes the back of Tatanka's head with a steel chair, knocking him out. Borga then rolls an unconscious Tatanka back into the ring and pins him with one finger. After the match, Yokozuna shows up and joins Ludvig Borga in the ring, then both men bow to each other before Yokozuna hits Tatanka with the Banzai Drop as Ludvig Borga holds Tatanka down.Suddenly, Lex Luger is seen fighting off The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) before running towards the ring.

On November 27th, The Steiners will get their shot, and if The Steiners beat The Quebecers, they will become the WWF Tag Team Champions. Johnny Polo says that will not happen however, as The Quebecers are the number one team in the sport today. Jacques congratulates Joe Fowler on his Halloween mask, then says The Quebecers are so hot Pat Riley is combing his hair like them. He says they have taken The Steiner Brothers seriously since they first met, and they will take them more seriously when they leave Madison Square Garden with the tag team titles.
We see footage of officials, referees and Lex Luger taking Tatanka out on a stretcher. It is reported that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) were unable to help as they were padlocked in their dressing room and were just released.

We get a look at "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who is in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He was born into a wrestling family, and he was predestined to become the greatest wrestler of all-time, but he is coming to WWF to not only prove that, but to prove he is the greatest country singer of all time, as he has more talent, stage presence and charisma than anyone else. However, he has yet to get noticed in the country music business due to the fact that he is from Nashville and due to the corrupt politics in the business. He plans to use the WWF to get noticed, and the country music business will come crawling to him, begging him to sign a contract.

Schyster and Diesel. Fowler then interviews Bret and Lawler for Face To Face. Bret says he would like to know Lawler has beaten to call himself a king, especially after he was stretchered out of SummerSlam when he nearly snapped him in half. He hates his guts, and looks forward to a rematch and to obliterating Lawler at the Nassau Coliseum. Lawler says he is not scared, and if hate was written on every grain of sand on the Sahara enough, it wouldn't be enough to express the hate he has for Bret and his family. He tells Bret to bring the family down to the Nassau Coliseum so they can see who the one and only undisputed king of the World Wrestling Federation is.
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says it is a well-known fact that the state of Michigan has a big problem with tax evaders, and he says tax evaders. He tells the fans to have a receipt for every deduction they are claiming, or else they will be going to jail, too.
Irwin R. Schyster beats Gary Jackson.
The Undertaker tells you that if you are using drugs, you are digging your own grave. There is no hope with dope.

Doink picks the other one up, but Luna grabs Doink and yells at him. Doink dumps the other bucket, which is full of water, on Luna, then runs into the ring. Bam Bam comes back, and he and Luna run into the ring. Doink slips out and trips Bam Bam as soon as he turns his back. Bam Bam then chases Doink all over the ring. Doink goes underneath the ring as Doink's potential opponent checks on Luna, and Bam Bam Bigelow crawls underneath the ring, then notices what is going on in the ring and beats the man up.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Blake Beverly with the Sharpshooter. During the match, it is announced that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) are on the cover of WWF Magazine on newsstands now, and Bret is seen in the magazine breaking bread with a lucky fan. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler is conspicuous by his absence, having chased after an unseen six-year-old with a Bret Hart poster at the beginning of the show. After the match, the Magistrator becomes "The Machostrator," and Macho Man draws a chicken leg with a sad face and a crown on it around Bret's Sharpshooter on Blake Beverly to show what Bret is going to do to Lawler.

Shawn says all he hears about is The 1-2-3 Kid, but he is the Heartbreak Kid and the Intercontinental Champion. He tells The 1-2-3 Kid that anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation, and that he and Mr. Perfect should be careful. Diesel says the last time in the guardian, Mr. Perfect was introduced to him and his right hand.

Diesel tells Mr. Perfect and everyone else that nobody touches him or Shawn, and if the champion is touched, he will be guaranteed to be there and examples will be made.

Jim Cornette says that in New York City, the people see horrifying things as part of everyday life that could make grown men cry. Next week, a 600-pound man will fight a seven-foot-tall zombie. The Undertaker may not be able to feel pain, but his bones can break like anybody else's and his back and his insides can be snapped. If he cannot feel pain, then Yokozuna will have to work harder as he enjoys delivering pain. One week from tonight, Yokozuna will deliver pain to The Undertaker. Okerlund then interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertakrer for Face To Face. Bearer hopes that Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji have gotten Yokozuna's final affairs in order, as Yokozuna will soon be crossing over to the dark side. The Undertaker says all things are as they should be, and now it is time for all his creatures of the night to witness mass carnage.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 28, 1993
The 1-2-3 Kid beats The Brooklyn Brawler. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Irwin R. Schyster, who says that The 1-2-3 Kid may have been lucky against Razor Ramon and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, but he will beat The 1-2-3 Kid at SummerSlam
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a Madison Square Garden supercard with a triple main event on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, and Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The 1-2-3 Kid. Also, Mr. Perfect will take on Diesel, and Tatanka faces Irwin R. Schyster. Furthermore, Razor Ramon goes one-on-one with Mr. Hughes, and both of those men (with Mr. Hughes accompanied by Harvey Wippleman) are interviewed for Face To Face. Wippleman says he has more on his mind than the people will comprehend, as it is Mr. Hughes' debut at Madison Square Garden. He tells Razor Ramon this will be a big loss for him, as it will be a fight, not a wrestling match, and says that Razor Ramon is eating tacos and burritos compared to the collard greens, pork chops and black eyed peas that Mr. Hughes is eating. Harvey Wippleman also says that Mr. Hughes is getting ready for Razor Ramon, and that Mr. Hughes will bash Razor Ramon upside the head with The Undertaker's urn. Razor tells Wippleman to spread the word that he is coming back to the MSG: the Madison Square Garden, not the foot additive. He says it will be Mr. Hughes first time there, but he is undefeated there. He then says that when Mr. Hughes looks around, he will find out that the Garden will be full of bad guys. Mr. Hughes says Razor will go down to the sidewalk slam. Razor tells Mr. Hughes "Don't sing it, bring it."
Before the next match, "Doctor" Tom Pritchard calls Jim Cornette "the shining light of Smoky Mountain Wrestling."
The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey) beat Tony Roy and Jason Headings. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Scott says SummerSlam is for all the marbles, and Rick says the crowd know he and Scott like some fresh meat.
On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that American recording artist Aaron Neville will be singing the American national anthem at the beginning of the show. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler must have underestimated him and must not have followed what he is capable of. Lawler beat him up from behind after becoming the King of the Ring like a dog and attacked his brother, "The Rocket" Owen Hart. He can never forget what he did to Owen, but the worst thing he could have done was involve his family in all of this, saying it is a line Lawler should never have crossed. He says he does not involve his family in his personal affairs, but if Lawler wants to do that, that's fine, because at SummerSlam he will execute him like the kings of old and chop his head off, and it will be the last anyone hears of Lawler. We then hear from Harey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales. Wippleman says all his dreams will come true at SummerSlam, as The Undertaker will leave the WWF in humiliation when he cannot beat Giant Gonzales. Gonzales says The Undertaker will be the one resting in peace. Wippleman hopes The Undertaker heard that, as Giant Gonzales is speaking the truth. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says "The Million Dollar Man" Razor Ramon that he is so upset at losing to The 1-2-3 Kid that he will make him pay, and is DiBiase wants him, he's got him at SummerSlam. He says everyone will be watching, and says money won't save DiBiase.
We see the music video for "I'll Be Your Hero" starring Lex Luger.
Ludvig Borga beats Virgil, then removes Virgil's red, white and blue wristbands before bashing the fans, saying they have no choice but to live in America because they don't speak any other languages like he can. He tells the fans to take that and stick it, then shoves Virgil's wristbands into Virgil's mouth.
The Undertaker is seen in a graveyard. He says that at SummerSlam, Giant Gonzales will begin a journey into the shadow of death from which there is no return from the dark side. As he begins to lay Giant Gonzales' carcass into the hollowed earth, only then will he know the meaning of "rest in peace."
Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Shawn Michaels, who is accompanied by Diesel. Shawn says that for the people who think perfection cannot be beaten, nothing is better than modern technology, and that is him. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler gets on the Magistrator and draws a diesel truck behind Perfect, saying Diesel will run Mr. Perfect like roadkill at SummerSlam.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show for Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will take on Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn). Okerlund then interviews the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and the tandem of Luna Vachon and Johnny Polo, representing Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, respectively. Scott Steiner says he loves wrestling in Madison Square Garden, and even though Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have never wrestled as a team, it will be a great fight and The Steiners will show why they are the tag team champions. Rick says the bomb will be fizzled and it will be a big bomb. Luna tells The Steiners that what they see before them now is a part of what is their unforeseen contingency, as Adam Bomb are Bam Bam are unbeatable, unbreakable, unpinnable and unsuplexable. Johnny Polo says Adam Bomb is devising a counter to the Frankensteiner, and while The Steiners are the tag team champions, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have studied their moves while The Steiners have never seen Bam Bam and Adam Bomb as a team and therefore have no idea what they are capable of when together. The Steiner Brothers dare Luna and Johnny Polo to "bring 'em down."
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Reno Riggins and Barry Hardy. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says he will take revenge on Bam Bam Bigelow as The Smoking Gunns take care of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).
"Mean" Gene Oklerund interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette in the ring. Cornette says the red, white and blue wristbands will be collector's items at SummerSlam, as they will be a call to hospital instead of a call to action. He says Lex Luger will have to be scraped up off the ground before being brought to a place where he can be brought back together. He then mentions the elbow pad stipulation, and says Lex Luger always wants an advantage, unlike Yokozuna and the Japanese people, whom he calls the most noble and honorable people and nation on the face of the planet due to having the intelligence and the guts to fight to the death for what they want. He then says Yokozuna is not just a man, but a 568-lb. monster who has stretchered off men like Crush, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Kamala and Hulk Hogan. After saying that Hulkamania is dead and buried six fett under at Yokozuna's hands, Cornette says that Luger will not be able to handle Yokozuna. All of a sudden, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up, gets in the ring and tells Yokozuna may be entering the ring at SummerSlam with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette as the WWF Champion with the support of a few of his countrymen, but Lex Luger will be entering the ring with the admiration of millions of fans who have enlisted in the Call To Action Campaign, the hopes and dreams of people who dare to excel and reach out for that brass ring, and the support and respect of every WWF Superstar including himself. Most importantly, Luger will be leaving SummerSlam will the WWF Championship. Savage then starts a "USA" chant. Suddenly, numerous WWF Superstars come out from the crowd and arrive at ringside to show support for Luger. Yokozuna is seen covering his ears to drown out the patriotic music as the show ends.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a Madison Square Garden supercard with a triple main event on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, and Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The 1-2-3 Kid. Also, Mr. Perfect will take on Diesel, and Tatanka faces Irwin R. Schyster.

Shawn says that for the people who think perfection cannot be beaten, nothing is better than modern technology, and that is him. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler gets on the Magistrator and draws a diesel truck behind Perfect, saying Diesel will run Mr. Perfect like roadkill at SummerSlam.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show for Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will take on Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn). Okerlund then interviews the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and the tandem of Luna Vachon and Johnny Polo, representing Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, respectively. Scott Steiner says he loves wrestling in Madison Square Garden, and even though Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have never wrestled as a team, it will be a great fight and The Steiners will show why they are the tag team champions. Rick says the bomb will be fizzled and it will be a big bomb. Luna tells The Steiners that what they see before them now is a part of what is their unforeseen contingency, as Adam Bomb are Bam Bam are unbeatable, unbreakable, unpinnable and unsuplexable. Johnny Polo says Adam Bomb is devising a counter to the Frankensteiner, and while The Steiners are the tag team champions, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have studied their moves while The Steiners have never seen Bam Bam and Adam Bomb as a team and therefore have no idea what they are capable of when together. The Steiner Brothers dare Luna and Johnny Polo to "bring 'em down."
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Reno Riggins and Barry Hardy. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says he will take revenge on Bam Bam Bigelow as The Smoking Gunns take care of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).
"Mean" Gene Oklerund interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette in the ring. Cornette says the red, white and blue wristbands will be collector's items at SummerSlam, as they will be a call to hospital instead of a call to action. He says Lex Luger will have to be scraped up off the ground before being brought to a place where he can be brought back together. He then mentions the elbow pad stipulation, and says Lex Luger always wants an advantage, unlike Yokozuna and the Japanese people, whom he calls the most noble and honorable people and nation on the face of the planet due to having the intelligence and the guts to fight to the death for what they want. He then says Yokozuna is not just a man, but a 568-lb. monster who has stretchered off men like Crush, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Kamala and Hulk Hogan. After saying that Hulkamania is dead and buried six fett under at Yokozuna's hands, Cornette says that Luger will not be able to handle Yokozuna. All of a sudden, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up, gets in the ring and tells Yokozuna may be entering the ring at SummerSlam with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette as the WWF Champion with the support of a few of his countrymen, but Lex Luger will be entering the ring with the admiration of millions of fans who have enlisted in the Call To Action Campaign, the hopes and dreams of people who dare to excel and reach out for that brass ring, and the support and respect of every WWF Superstar including himself. Most importantly, Luger will be leaving SummerSlam will the WWF Championship. Savage then starts a "USA" chant. Suddenly, numerous WWF Superstars come out from the crowd and arrive at ringside to show support for Luger. Yokozuna is seen covering his ears to drown out the patriotic music as the show ends.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 14, 1993
Before the show begins, Vince McMahon announces that WWF President Jack Tunney has made an edict stating that if "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage lay a hand on each other after what happened last week, one of them - or both of them - will be history.
Razor Ramon beats Duane Gill. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, who says that Razor Ramon might be laughing at him now, thinking that he pulled one on him, but at SummerSlam, Razor will be paying the price and there won't be any machismo left.
During Update, we see Lex Luger and The Lex Express go across America in the Call For Action Campaign in Niagara Falls, Detroit, and Chicago. We then see highlights from the contract signing between Lex Luger and Yokozuna for their WWF Championship match at SummerSlam from last week's Monday Night Raw.
Ludvig Borga beats Mike Khoury.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker team up to take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) faces Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), The 1-2-3 Kid meets Bastion Booger, Tatanka takes on Doink, Mr. Perfect faces Bam Bam Bigelow, and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu). Okerlund then interviews Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel). Shawn says that he would have learned his lesson by now, but he is a soft-hearted guy. He was friends with Razor Ramon, but now he is on the other side of the tracks and wants to call the whole match with Razor off. Razor says there is no reason to be so excited as they can still be friends, and says this is just business. On any given night, anybody can go down, including Shawn. Shawn says that is not happening and that he will stay the WWF Intercontinental Champion, as the belt is important to him. Razor says it is important to him, too, as he was so close to being on top of the mountain until Diesel interfered. Diesel says he will do what has to be done so Shawn stays champion, while Shawn says he is the wrestler of the '90s and that that will not change.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Glenn Ruth and Mike Bell. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Jim Cornette, who says that he did not come to WWF to waste his own time. He has brought with him one of the greatest tag teams right now: The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey). They expect to see wine, women and Steiners when they come to the WWF. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler uses the Magistrator to draw angel wings and halos on The Steiner Brothers, saying The Heavenly Bodies are in The Steiner Brothers' future.
We see the music video for "USA" by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan from WrestleMania: The Album.
Lex Luger is on the current issue of WWF Magazine, and Shawn Michaels and Up All Night's Rhonda Shear are in the current issue's spread.
Shawn Michaels beats Darren Trujillo. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Mr. Perfect, who says that it will be a great wrestling match between him and Shawn for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, but says Shawn cannot beat perfection. After the match, Diesel punches Trujillo in the gut.
Tatanka beats Fred Williams. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon. Bigelow says he and Luna have beaten up on Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) before, and at SummerSlam, they are going to do it one more time.
On the SummerSlam Report, we hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Bret says that when he won King of the Ring, it was a big accomplishment. All of a sudden, "The King" Jerry Lawler shows up wanting to call himself a king even though he has never earned the title, and says he is a snake. He says it is one thing to attack him from behind, but it is something else to start something with his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and says that when he involves his family in things, that's when Lawler has gone too far. He says Lawler has crossed him and will pay for it at SummerSlam. He says that the future will be his and that history will crown only one king: him. Also, Marty Jannetty vs. Ludvig Borga is now official for SummerSlam, as is The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) vs. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) for the WWF Tag Team Championships.
Before the next match, Jim Cornette introduces The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) to the ring. In return, "Doctor" Tom Prichard calls Jim Cornette "the guiding light of Smoky Mountain Wrestling."
The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) beat Bert Centeno and Rich Myers. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Scott says he doesn't care where the Bodies are from, because at SummerSlam, they will suplex their heavenly bodies. Rick says he and Scott will give them the same amount of respect as they give everyone else: none.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. He then interviews Mr. Hughes (accompanied by Harvey Wippleman) and "Macho Man" Randy Savage for Face To Face. Savage says nobody will want to tag team against him and The Undertaker after their match against Hughes and The Undertaker, because when the smoke clears, he will send them up and The Undertaker will send them down, and they will be done in the World Wrestling Federation from now on. Wippleman tells Savage he is all talk, and that the 27th will be his lucky day when Hughes and Giant Gonzales will make history and destroy a legend in Savage and the walking death in The Undertaker.
Next week: A special interview with Bret "Hit Man" Hart! Adam Bomb! The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)! Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo)!
The Lex Express is coming to Denver, Colorado; Sacramento and Stockton, California; San Francisco, California; and Anaheim, California!

Take The Wrestling Challenge - Wrestling Challenge recap for July 25, 1993
Before the opening match, "The King" Jerry Lawler gives Owen Hart one last chance to walk to the back without getting his teeth kicked in, but tells him to get on his knees and kiss his feet as he is the real king of the World Wrestling Federation. Owen Hart spits on them instead, and this starts the match.
"The King" Jerry Lawler grabs the tights to beat Owen Hart. After the match, Lawler says that he hopes that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and his parents are watching as Owen now knows who the real king of wrestling is. He tells Owen he had one chance to kiss his feet, and that he'll be kissing them now as he stomps on him a few times.
Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat John Rechner and Glenn Ruth.
Earlier today, Vince McMahon put a call through to WWF President Jack Tunney. Tunney says he has never come across so many people supporting Lex Luger's plea for a match with Yokozuna in his time in the WWF, and notes that Mr. Fuji has stated that Luger has an unfair advantage due to the metal plate in his forearm from his motorcycle accident. Nevertheless, the match between Luger and Yokozuna for the WWF Championship is on, but there is a catch: Luger must wear an approved forearm pad over the forearm with the steel plate in it.
Lex Luger is on the Lex Express and has just gotten word that he has gotten his match with Yokozuna. Luger says that the forearm pad stipulation does not faze him, and is grateful for the opportunity. He says that the call for action will continue until SummerSlam, where he will beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship.
Ludvig Borga beats Jason Henning.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the August 27th show at the Nassau Coliseum in New York City, where Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster). Also, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker will take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes in tag team action. Mr. Perfect will take on Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) will face The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, Tatanka will face Doink, and Razor Ramon will take on "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Okerlund then interviews Mr. Hughes and Harvey Wippleman on one side and "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the other side. Savage knows Mr. Hughes has The Undertaker's urn, and he will take Gonzales and Hughes up and The Undertaker will bring them down. Savage is also looking to take "The King" Jerry Lawler out of the WWF on August 13th. Harvey Wippleman says that Giant Gonzales wants nothing to do with the people of New York, while Mr. Hughes says the urn blongs to nobody but himself.
The 1-2-3 Kid faces "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase next week on Wrestling Challenge!
Papa Shango beats Chaz Ware. (Chaz Ware will later be known as Mosh of The Headbangers in a few years' time.)
Mr. Perfect beats Reno Riggins.
Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steven Dunn) beats Darren Trujillo and Bret Tyler in their Wrestling Challenge debut. During the match, The 1-2-3 Kid says it is an honor to be in the same ring as "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, and he will do his best to prove himself next week.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the Mdison Square Garden show for August 13th. Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty will take on Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow. The 1-2-3 Kid will take on Doink, The Smoking Gunns will face The Headshrinkers, "Macho Man" Randy Savage goes up against "The King" Jerry Lawler and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will face Yokozuna inside a steel cage for the WWF Championship. Okerlund then interviews Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty. Perfect says there's a lot of talent in the night's six-man tag match, especially Shawn, who doesn't want to face any of them. Tatanka says there's no love lost between him and Bam Bam Bigelow, as Bigelow ran to the back last time they met. Jannetty says they'll go three all three men five minutes at a time, and hopes Diesel can take going 3-on-1.
Next weeK; The Quebecers debut! Adam Bomb! Tatanka! The Undertaker in The King's Court!
"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase says it will be an extreme honor for The 1-2-3 Kid to be in the ring with him, as he will go down like the thousands before him. He says that everybody has a price, and this is one time that all the money in the world won't save The 1-2-3 Kid from being beaten by him.
The Lex Express is coming to Alexandria Bay, Utica, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh!
"The King" Jerry Lawler grabs the tights to beat Owen Hart. After the match, Lawler says that he hopes that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and his parents are watching as Owen now knows who the real king of wrestling is. He tells Owen he had one chance to kiss his feet, and that he'll be kissing them now as he stomps on him a few times.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for July 24, 1993
We see footage of the Lex Express on the highway to start the show.
Before the next match, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan says he is proud to be an American, that he is proud of the USA and that he is proud of Lex Luger.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Duane Gill.
On Update, Vince McMahon interviews WWF President Jack Tunney via telephone. Tunney says he has never come across so many people supporting anything, much less Lex Luger's plea for a WWF Championship match with Yokozuna. He admits that Luger suffers an unfair advantage from the steel plate in his right forearm from his motorcycle accident, but he will receive a title shot. However, he must wear a protective foam pad on the forearm with the steel plate in it that is approved by his office during the match. We then hear a response from Lex Luger on the Lex Express, who says he could not be happier with the decision. As for the forearm pad stipulation, that does not bother him at all and he plans to seize the opportunity to win the WWF Champion. He says the people have spoken, but the Lex Express Call To Action does not stop here, and he will continue to meet people until he reaches Detroit, Michigan at SummerSlam, where he will beat Yokozuna to become the WWF Champion.
Ludvig Borga beats Tony DiMoro in his WWF debut.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. The 1-2-3 Kid meets Bastion Booger, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) faces Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, and Mr. Perfect faces Bam Bam Bigelow. Also, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Tatanka takes on Doink, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker team up to take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes. Okerlund then interviews Shawn Michaels and Diesel for Face To Face. Shawn says that Razor Ramon did not come close to winning the Intercontinental Championship at Madison Square Garden (though he did, and Diesel saved Shawn). Shawn does not want to focus that, saying that if Okerlund kept focusing onthe past, he would see himself with hair. He is more interesting in looking to the future. He finds it hilarious that Razor Ramon got a shot at his title by getting beat up by The 1-2-3 Kid. Diesel, when told if he will be at the event, says he is everywhere "The Heartbreak Kid" is because it's his job, and Shawn says there's nothing anybody can do it. Shawn says that he is the greatest wrestler on the planet while Diesel is the toughest thing anybody has ever seen, and between the two of them, Shawn says he will be keeping the Intercontinental title for a long time.
It is announced that The 1-2-3 Kid has accepted "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's challenge from last week on Monday Night Raw, and that their match will take place this weekend on Wrestling Challenge.
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster tells the crowd that they are all a sorry bunch of tax cheats.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) by count-out after I.R.S. suplexes Scott Steiner back into the ring just before the end of ten count...and fails to get back in the ring in the nick of time afterwards.
On the SummerSlam Report, , it is announced that The Undertaker is the only person who knows the rules to a Rest In Peace Match, and that Harvey Wippleman may have signed a final contract for Giant Gonzales. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says people ask him what it felt like winning the King of the Ring Tournament, and says it was a career highlight. All of a sudden, "The King" Jerry Lawler ruined it by beating him on the interview platform like he had never been beaten before, either in his career or in his lifetime, and it felt like "a car crash on Unconscious Street." The wheels were upside down, but they were still turning, and those same wheels will grind Lawler up and spit him out when he obliterates him at SummerSlam.
The The 1-2-3 Kid beats Barry Horowitz.
Next week on Superstars: Luna Vachon vs. Sensation Sherri!
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Rich Myers and Tony Webb in their WWF debut.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13th. A six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled for that night. The 1-2-3 Kid will face Doink, while Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) and Bret are interviewed for Face To Face. Yokozuna is now at 568 pounds. Fuji is upset, as he finds it ridiculous that Yokozuna has to defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage as Bret has been crying for a title shot and got it from WWF President Jack Tunney, whom he accuses of favoritism. He says Yokozuna will finish Bret once and for all, and he will supervise it from the outside of the cage. Bret says the Steel Cage Match is the most dangerous match of all, and says what he really wants is the WWF Championship that Fuji stole from him at WrestleMania 9. He then says the whole point of the steel cage is to keep Fuji from poking his nose in his business, leaving him and Yokozuna all to themselves. He says they both know who the rightful champion is, and there will be no place to run or hide. Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji speak to each other in Japanese, then Yokozuna tells Bret he will be hit very hard.
Next week: Mr. Perfect! Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo)! Adam Bomb! Mr. Hughes! The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu)!
Luna Vachon tells Sensational Sherri that next week, she will finally get her chance and will meet her in the ring one-on-one. She says she is the most dominant force in the WWF. Sensational Sherri tells Luna that every woman must be held accountable for her actions, and says Luna's time will come very, very soon. Next week, she will get the chance to prove she is what she claims to be.
The Lex Express is coming to Alexandria Bay, Utica, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh!
Before the next match, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan says he is proud to be an American, that he is proud of the USA and that he is proud of Lex Luger.

("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, and Mr. Perfect faces Bam Bam Bigelow. Also, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Tatanka takes on Doink, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker team up to take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes. Okerlund then interviews Shawn Michaels and Diesel for Face To Face. Shawn says that Razor Ramon did not come close to winning the Intercontinental Championship at Madison Square Garden (though he did, and Diesel saved Shawn). Shawn does not want to focus that, saying that if Okerlund kept focusing onthe past, he would see himself with hair. He is more interesting in looking to the future. He finds it hilarious that Razor Ramon got a shot at his title by getting beat up by The 1-2-3 Kid. Diesel, when told if he will be at the event, says he is everywhere "The Heartbreak Kid" is because it's his job, and Shawn says there's nothing anybody can do it. Shawn says that he is the greatest wrestler on the planet while Diesel is the toughest thing anybody has ever seen, and between the two of them, Shawn says he will be keeping the Intercontinental title for a long time.
It is announced that The 1-2-3 Kid has accepted "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's challenge from last week on Monday Night Raw, and that their match will take place this weekend on Wrestling Challenge.
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster tells the crowd that they are all a sorry bunch of tax cheats.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) by count-out after I.R.S. suplexes Scott Steiner back into the ring just before the end of ten count...and fails to get back in the ring in the nick of time afterwards.
On the SummerSlam Report, , it is announced that The Undertaker is the only person who knows the rules to a Rest In Peace Match, and that Harvey Wippleman may have signed a final contract for Giant Gonzales. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says people ask him what it felt like winning the King of the Ring Tournament, and says it was a career highlight. All of a sudden, "The King" Jerry Lawler ruined it by beating him on the interview platform like he had never been beaten before, either in his career or in his lifetime, and it felt like "a car crash on Unconscious Street." The wheels were upside down, but they were still turning, and those same wheels will grind Lawler up and spit him out when he obliterates him at SummerSlam.
The The 1-2-3 Kid beats Barry Horowitz.
Next week on Superstars: Luna Vachon vs. Sensation Sherri!
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Rich Myers and Tony Webb in their WWF debut.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13th. A six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled for that night. The 1-2-3 Kid will face Doink, while Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) and Bret are interviewed for Face To Face. Yokozuna is now at 568 pounds. Fuji is upset, as he finds it ridiculous that Yokozuna has to defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage as Bret has been crying for a title shot and got it from WWF President Jack Tunney, whom he accuses of favoritism. He says Yokozuna will finish Bret once and for all, and he will supervise it from the outside of the cage. Bret says the Steel Cage Match is the most dangerous match of all, and says what he really wants is the WWF Championship that Fuji stole from him at WrestleMania 9. He then says the whole point of the steel cage is to keep Fuji from poking his nose in his business, leaving him and Yokozuna all to themselves. He says they both know who the rightful champion is, and there will be no place to run or hide. Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji speak to each other in Japanese, then Yokozuna tells Bret he will be hit very hard.
Next week: Mr. Perfect! Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo)! Adam Bomb! Mr. Hughes! The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu)!
