Faarooq says Madison Square Garden was the start of what The Nation of Domination will do at WrestleMania 13, and that Ahmed doesn't know what the streets are like as when you look up "street," you'll see Faarooq's name next to it. Also, footage from the aftermath of last night's Madison Square Garden match between Ahmed Johson and Savio Vega, where The Nation attacks Ahmed, is shown.

He says that he is appreciative of Gorilla Monsoon looking into his situation a little more closely, and says that he deserves a little more respect around here. He knows The Undertaker is not too thrilled about Monsoon's decision, but there is a new motto in the World Wrestling Federation: "You scratch my back and I'll stab yours." He also knows The Undertaker won't be too thrilled when he becomes a five-time WWF Champion, but he need not worry because he will give him his shot. Once he changes the face of WrestleMania 13 and faces "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Austin will be in for the worst thrashing of his entire life and that he won't be able to scream "I give" loud enough in a submission match. He also respects Ken Shamrock and his reputation, and hopes that he will call the match down the middle and be close enough to hear the words "I quit."

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels shows up in a WWF ring for the first time since Thursday Raw Thursday, and Vince McMahon interviews him in the ring. Shawn has his smile back, as he has found it back home in San Antonio, Texas and plans to bring it with him wherever he goes. He thanks the fans of the World Wrestling Federation for not only sending him cards and letters - some of them to his parents' address - wishing him well, but also for being patient with "the world's most emotional wrestler," as he is very hard to deal with. He says the cards and letters came at a time when it seemed like nobody gave a damn about "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. He then announces that his knee is coming along, and he plans to see Dr. Anders in Birmingham to see what's going on, and hopefully he will be in a WWF ring again in a couple of months whether anyone likes it or not. He says his time off has done wonders for him, and when he comes back, he'll be busting a move like he used to and the clothes are coming off. He also has a bone to pick with Vince, as he didn't invite him to WrestleMania 13. Since he can now walk, he'll have to invite himself to WrestleMania 13 and guest on commentary so Vince calls the WWF Championship match down the middle. He also says Vince didn't invite him to the Slammy Awards, as he is up for a couple of them. He has a new home in San Antonio, and he needs some more room for the Slammy Awards that he's going to be winning. He says WrestleMania 13 isn't complete without him, and he is on his way.

Shamrock threatens to break one of his bones if he tries again, and Billy pretends to leave only to rush back in with a steel chair. The referee stops Billy Gunn from getting back in, and Shamrock stands tall in the ring as Billy Gunn tells him this isn't over.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin says he isn't impressed with what just happened, and says Ken Shamrock doesn't belong in the WWF as it is his place. Austin claims that all Ken Shamrock has done is get in a couple of street fights with some guy capturing it on video so he could become a big star. He says that Shamrock is overrated and a piece of trash, and that he and Shamrock will square off and he'll beat the hell out of him. He tells Shamrock to call his match with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart like he sees it or he'll punch him in the face. Austin says he is the King of the Ring, and nobody can say he can't be here. He's happy Bret Hart has a title shot, and when WrestleMania 13 is over he will be the WWF Championship. Austin goes on to say Hart won the Royal Rumble, and the only reason Hart won at Final Four is because he was "crippled and sick." He says that Bret Hart on his best day could not even lace his boots, and he will prove that to the world when he beats the hell out of him.

Sycho Sid retains the WWF Championship against Bret "The Hit Man" in a steel cage match. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin watches the match from backstage, then shows up later to make sure Sycho Sid doesn't get out, first by locking the steel cage door on Sid and then fighting Sid when he tries to climb out of the cage. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart takes advantage by attacking Sid along with Austin at the top of the cage to try to become a five-time WWF Champion, but The Undertaker shows up and fights all three men. Austin goes down, Hart is able to land a superplex on Sid from the top of the cage. Austin fights 'Taker at ringside and hits him with a steel chair, then leaves. The Undertaker is able to get back up and slam the steel cage door shut on Hart as he tries to get out while Sid climbs out of the cage at the same time, and thanks to The Undertaker, Sid is able to escape first.

After the commercial break, Bret "The Hit Man" is finally fed up, and he stays in the ring as the steel cage is deconstructed. Vince McMahon tries to interview Hart, saying that Hart must be frustrated, but Hart finally snaps, shoves Vince to the mat and says "Frustrated isn't a goddamn word for it!" and "This is bullshit!" He says that everyone screws him, and that nobody does a thing about it. He says that he should be WWF Championship, but everyone turns a blind eye to what happens to him. He then tells the fans "If you don't like it, tough shit!" "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up on the TitanTron, saying that Bret is crying like a baby once again before telling Bret that he tried to help him, but he threw it all away because he's a loser. He says it could have been the two of them for the WWF Championship, but he threw it all away. Bret argues with Austin, and says he doesn't have the guts to come in the ring with him. Sycho Sid comes back, and Bret lowers the straps on his singlet ready to fight. The Undertaker returns, but Hart notices him and goes after him instead.

It's time for The King's Court. This week's guest is WWF Women's Champion, Alundra Blayze. Blayze comes out with a paper crown with the message "Lawler is a loser" on the face end. After some jokes at "The King" Jerry Lawler's expense, as well as Lawler noticing that Blayze is not wearing her championship belt, Lawler says he has a surprise for her: Luna Vachon. Vachon shows up, and while she may be the Authoress of Evil and the Princess of Mayhem, she isn't a thief and the WWF Women's Champion...though if she was champ, she'd have the belt with her. Blayze calls Luna a "closet champion" and kept the belt at home as that's the only way she could be champ. Blayze then challenges Luna to a match, right here, right now. Lawler adjourns the Court when it becomes obvious he doesn't want a catfight on his show, and tells Alundra Blayze to get out. As Blayze leaves,

WWF President Jack Tunney announces that Lex Luger will be allowed to take part in the Royal Rumble Match, and that he will be joined by two other entries representing Mr. Fuji: Tenryu and The Great Kabuki. All 30 participants have now been added into the match, and the winner will face the WWF Champion at WrestleMania 10.

Yokozuna beats Scott Taylor and Bert Centeno in a 2-on-1 handicap match. As the match begings, we see pre-recorded comments from Mr. Fuji, who says that WWF President Jack Tunney gave permission to enter the Royal Rumble Match, and for that, he has hired two great wrestlers from Japan to assure that Luger will not survive it. After the match, the lights go out, and Paul Bearer, The Undertaker and the coffin that The Undertaker is working on shows up on the video screen. Paul Bearer says he has read the fine print in the contract, and tells Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji forgot to read his and that they made a big mistake in unwittingly putting Yokozuna in a Casket Match that Bearer now reveals as a one time only match. The Undertaker says it will take him only one time, and that Yokozuna and his entourage have made a big mistake. He, on the other hand, does not make mistakes; he buries them. Yokozuna is spooked.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Rich Myers. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Jarrett, who says that WWF President Jack Tunney and 29 other wrestlers will find out he is the best there is at the Royal Rumble Match.

Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka, Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and there will also be a 30-man New York City Rumble. We hear from Crush, who says that he wants to win the Rumble for himself and Mr. Fuji while proving to the world that he is the most awesome force in the WWF when he goes into the ring like a tornado in a trailer park to toss everyone out of it. He only fears one thing: "Macho Man" Randy Savage not showing up. If Savage does show up, however, his screaming fans will see his worst nightmare come true. We also hear from Savage, who says that he has never been more ready for the New York City Rumble, and says everyone around the world dreams of wrestling in Madison Square Garden. He has an underlying current in the form of Crush, and he plans on winning the New York City Rumble because Madison Square Garden is very important to him. He knows Crush is focused on hurting him, but he might just nail Crush if he tries.

Chris McKenna is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Mike Bell with the Sharpshooter. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bret and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says he cannot express how happy he is to team up with Bret for the tag team titles at Royal Rumble, and he wants this title shot to be the best one yet. Bret says it will be a big day for them, and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) are going down hard when they become the new tag champs.

Rene Rougeau interviews The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) and Johnny Polo. Polo says he hates Luger, calling him a yellow-bellied coward and says he put a piece of metal in his arm to be like the Bionic Man before knocking him and The Quebecers out with the running forearm smash. He hopes that Lex Luger ends up all alone in the ring during the Royal Rumble with ten of their friends, as he will find out he is not as much of a knock-out than he thinks he is. Pierre says something in French, then Jacques says there is no one in the WWF who is as close as they are. He also says that brothers are not always close, and that brothers don't always get along. Polo says that to prove what kind of champions they are, they will defend the tag titles on Raw next week against Marty Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid, whom he says are much worthier opponents than Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Jacques says they will prove they are fighting champions, not closet champions, and at Royal Rumble, they will show what brotherly love is all about.

Tatanka tells us not to drink and drive.

Razor Ramon beats Chris Duffy. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Irwin R. Schyster, who tells Razor Ramon that he has gone out of his way to embarrass him on national television more than once, and has accused him of stealing the gold around his neck. If he were Razor Ramon, he would be more focused on the gold around his waist, because at Royal Rumble, it will be his.

We see a video package for Kwang, who breaks two wooden boards with his fists.

On the Royal Rumble Report, it is made official that Lex Luger, Tenryu and The Great Kabuki have officially added to the Royal Rumble Match, officially bringing the official amount of participants in the match to 30. We then hear from Lex Luger, who cannot say how excited he is to be in the Royal Rumble Match. He thanks WWF President Jack Tunney for rendering the decision as well as the fans for their loyalty and support, which made it all possible. As for Mr. Fuji's "great compromise," he is more focused on the match as there are no friends and only foes. He plans to thank the fans by winning the Royal Rumble. We also hear from Ludvig Borga, who says there is nothing better for him than the Royal Rumble. He gives no mercy, and he does not want it, either. He will not give any mercy to Tatanka, and once he is done with him, he will be out. We then hear from Tatanka, who says talk is cheap and that Ludvig Borga speaks with a forked tongue. He says that Ludvig Borga found out what kind of savage he created when he injured him, and that he will find out what he really made at Royal Rumble, as he will not make it to the Royal Rumble Match.

Doink is on this month's calendar on WWF Magazine.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Brian Walsh. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says he will be in the Royal Rumble Match. After the match, Doink shows up, and referee Tim White has to keep Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon away from Doink. As Bam Bam Bigelow gets closer to Doink, Dink sneaks up on Bam Bam. Doink fakes throwing a bucket of water at Bam Bam, who trips over Dink. Doink then empties the bucket on the floor, revealing that there were marbles inside. Bam Bam and Luna slide on the marbles as they go after Doink and Dink.

Jim Ross re-advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th. Rick Steiner will take on Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Cornette tells Tatanka that on January 17th, he can conjure all the spirits and power of all the Native Americans and have every fan in Madison Square Garden cheering for him, and he can remember all the pain, agony, suffering and embarrassment that he suffered at the hands of Yokozuna, but he might as well ball all that up and throw it over his shoulder and into the trash, because when Yokozuna hits him with the Banzai Drop, he will be stretchered out of the building. We also hear from Tatanka, who says the fans have never seen him so intense. He resembles America to the fullest, being the first American, as he says everyone knows Yokozuna did to him. He has not forgotten what he did to him, his family and his fans. He tells Yokozuna to prepare for war on the battlefield, for he will inflict pain on him and take the WWF Championship away.

Next week: the unveiling of The Undertaker's double-wide, double-deep casket as well as The Undertaker in action! Tatanka! Lex Luger vs. Bastion Booger!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 25, 1993

Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart show up on the video screen, together again. Bret admits that there was a lot of friction between him and Owen, but he knew this was tearing the family apart and that they had to sit down and talk about it, which worked. He may never find out who the better wrestler was, and feels better about it anyway as he knows he can better channel his energy into a tag team match against The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) with the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line, as united, they stand, and divided, they fall. Owen says he said things after Survivor Series he should not have said, but it does not matter if they were true or not as 1994 will be their year when he kicks off with Bret right behind. Together, they will take the WWF Tag Team Championships and make 1994 memorable for him and Owen.

Shawn Michaels beats Phil Apollo. Before the match begins, Shawn says he is the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion.

Jim Ross advertises a show for the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on January 29th at 1:30 PM with a triple main event. Macho Man faces Crush in a two-out-of-three falls anywhere match, and Tatanka and Lex Luger will join forces for the first time against Yokozuna and Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Cornette says he and Fuji are more nervous about this event than anything else, and says Tatanka and Lex Luger have been humiliated and embarrassed numerous times at the hands of Yokozuna and Ludvig Borga. He says that one is humiliated and embarrassed that much, one would want revenge, but if Ludvig Borga does not break their backs, then Yokozuna will flatten them like pancakes. He is looking forward to seeing Luger again as he knows he has a few tricks up his sleeve, and tells Tatanka to do a war dance.

On the Royal Rumble Report, Paul Bearer says The Undertaker is making his list and checking it twice, and says Mr. Fuji has been very naughty and Jim Cornette is not so nice. For The Undertaker, 'tis the season to be jolly, as The Undertaker is crafting a casket for Yokozuna. The Undertaker tells Yokozuna that soon, he too will be gift-wrapped, and wishes him a merry Christmas as we see a wreath on top of the casket he is making. It is then made official that Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart will face The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and that Tatanka will face Ludvig Borga. Nine new Superstars are now confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match: Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The 1-2-3 Kid, Fatu, Samu, Rick Steiner, Bob Backlund and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. We then hear from Jim Cornette in a phone conversation recorded earlier. Cornette feels cheated and that the contract for The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship has been tampered, and says it is all part of a conspiracy by WWF President, Jack Tunner, The Undertaker, Paul Bearer and the fans. At Royal Rumble, Yokozuna will have his turkey late in the former of an Undertaker turkey with Paul Bearer stuffing.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Ralph Mosca. Before the bell rings to begin the match, Mosca whips I.R.S. into the ring post, then tries to look in the briefcase as I.R.S. tries to get up. However, there is a combination lock, and when I.R.S. sees him, he takes the boots to him, and the match begins as he tells Mosca that nobody touches his briefcase.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show for the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on January 29th at 1:30 PM. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Doink will take on Bam Bam Bigelow, and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will go up against Irwin R. Schyster. We then hear from Crush for Face To Face. He says that he is not worried about the hazards of a two-out-of-three falls match, and says he is happy that he can take "Macho Man" Randy Savage all over the arena and make him suffer for sticking the knife in his back. He says he will make Savage's worst nightmare come true. We then hear from Savage, who says he is concerned but he is a survivor, and when the bell rings, he turns on the switch and he becomes electric. He says he and Crush can take it to a different level, and if Crush shows up, he can promise that their match will be the wildest thing we have ever seen.

Next week: Razor Ramon! Ludvig Borga! "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

We hear from Johnny Polo and Jacques. Revenge is on their minds, and they have been waiting for Lex Luger. They are coming prepared, and what happened to Pierre will not happen to Jacques. We then hear from Lex Luger, who says he has the rare opportunity to meet Jacques. He says Jacques saw what happened to Pierre, and now Jacques will see first-hand what "Made In America" is all about.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for November 20, 1993

It is announced that Quebecer Pierre was knocked out by Lex Luger and is therefore out of Survivor Series.

This week, Vince McMahon announces that he will be joined by a brand new co-host this week. It is also announced that "The King" Jerry Lawler is on hiatus pending legal action, and that WWF President Jack Tunney has reinstated Shawn Michaels, who will take Lawler's place at Survivor Series. We then learn that Vince McMahon's co-host is Reo Rodgers, a satirical jab at "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. (This tandem lasts for only one week.)

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Phil Apollo and Mike Bell.

Jim Cornette says that the name of the game for Survivor Series is elimination, and that is what The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Quebecer Jacques, Cornette, Johnny Polo) did by eliminating Tatanka, but The All-Americans (Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner) responded by replacing Tatanka with The Undertaker before taking a page from their book and knocking out Quebecer Pierre with a forearm smash with the steel plate in Lex Luger's forearm. Cornette then announces that they have replaced Pierre with Crush, whom Cornette calls one of the strongest men in wrestling but also the world. Crush says that The Foreign Fanatics are men of honor who will fight and watch each other's back until the very end while The All-Americans will be wondering who will stab who in the back first. Cornette says The All-Americans will be eliminated one by one. Meanwhile, we hear from The All-Americans (Luger, The Steiner Brothers, Paul Bearer, The Undertaker). Luger admits that Crush is a big, strong man and a devastating force, but the All-Americans have Rick and Scott Steiner, and red, white and blue fever is running high for Survivor Series. Paul Bearer says The Undertaker is proud to be a part of the team, and represents all the Americans who have gone before them. The Undertaker says there is pride, honor and total domination in the team. The addition of Crush means he only has to dig a bigger grave.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Scott Taylor. After the match, Doink appears on the video screen and makes fun of Bam Bam's Survivor Series team, then introduces his partners as four Doinks slowly fill up the video screen.

Razor Ramon is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine - available now - and inside is an article on Doink.

Jim Ross advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, November 27th with four main events. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will take on The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Diesel, The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), and The Undertaker takes on Yokozuna in a Casket Match. (Doink vs. "The King" Jerry Lawler has been removed due to Lawler's legal issues.) Jim Ross then interviews Diesel and Razor for Face To Face. Razor says the WWF has done it again with the supercard coming to Madison Square Garden, and says Diesel has been lurking in the shadows as a bodyguard, but now the spotlight is on him. If Diesel wants the gold, all he has to do is come and get it. Diesel says you can call him a thug or a bodyguard, but you can call him clairvoyant, as he will be winning the Intercontinental title. Razor says he doesn't like Diesel, but Diesel is a lot like him in that he will do anything to get the gold, as he has already proved that he will.
Jim Cornette is seen advertising Acclaim's Dual Turbo wireless controllers - currently available at K-Mart - for the Sega Genesis while playing Royal Rumble. You can also register for a trip to see Royal Rumble live at K-Mart.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

We hear from "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who is in a recording studio, unhappy with the guy playing on guitar.

Todd Pettengill gives us a brief crash course on how to order Survivor Series on pay-per-view.

Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steven Dunn) beat Dennis Diamond and P.J. Walker.

On the Survivor Series Report, Crush officially replaces Quebecer Pierre in The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Crush, Ludvig Borga, Quebecer Jacques, Cornette, Johnny Polo).

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says that for a town in the middle of nowhere, it sure has a lot of tax cheats.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Irwin R. Schyster by disqualification. During the match, Mr. Fuji shows up and watches the match from ringside. Later on, Mr. Fuji trips Bret by the ankle from ringside while referee Earl Hebner is not looking, and Bret quickly gets back at him by hitting Mr. Fuji with a right hand as soon as he is able to slide out of the ring. After this, Jim Cornette and Yokozuna show up, and Mr. Fuji whacks Bret in the back with the pole of his Japanese flag. Hebner sees this and calls for the bell, ending the match. After the match, Irwin R. Schyster continues to attack Bret, but "The Rocket' Owen Hart shows up and fights Irwin R. Schyster while Bret Hart drop kicks Yokozuna off the apron. Referees have to keep Bret from going after Yokozuna, and officials have to keep Yokozuna from getting in the ring.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, November 27th. He then interviews The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and Quebecer Jacques (accompanied by Johnny Polo) for Face To Face. Johnny Polo says that it is a rip-off and a conspiracy against him and Jacques now that Quebecer Pierre has been knocked out of action. Scott Steiner says The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Quebecer Jacques, Cornette, Johnny Polo) made a mistake thinking that if they hurt The All-Americans (Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, The Undertaker, Paul Bearer), they wouldn't hurt them back, and now Pierre is out. He tells Polo to get his trunks on. Rick says the Fanatics stuck their hand in the dog dish only to have it bitten off, and Madison Square Garden will see a human sacrifice in the form of Johnny Polo. Jacques says he will protect Johnny Polo, and says the 13th of September will happen again.

Tis Sunday: Bret "Hit Man" Hart vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series Showdown!

Schyster and Diesel, Marty Jannetty will be taking on "The Model" Rick Martel, and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). Fowler then interviews the team of Irwin R. Schyster and Diesel and the team of Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon for Face To Face. Razor Ramon says you can see the scar that Diesel left on him last time they were in Nassau Coliseum, and talks about how Mr. Perfect came out only to be hit with a cheap shot. He says that this time, things will be different. Diesel says his right hand will do the talking, and Mr. Perfect says he has seen guys like Diesel come and go in the WWF, and now he is standing next to Razor Ramon. Diesel will be looking at both him and Razor, and Mr. Perfect makes it clear that Diesel is the man that he wants after what he did to The 1-2-3 Kid. Irwin R. Schyster says Mr. Perfect has the wrong person on his back, and he will pay for it in Nassau Coliseum.

Pat Tanaka pays homage to Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji in footage from earlier today.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats Pat Tanaka.

On the Survivor Series Report, The Hart Family (Bret "Hit Man" Hart, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, Bruce Hart, Keith Hart) and The King and His Knights ("The King" Jerry Lawler and three other partners) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match is official for Survivor Series.

After the report, Lawler mentions that his partners are The Red Knight, The Blue Knight and The Black Knight, though the identities of the knights are not revealed.

"The Rocket" Owen hart beats Scott Taylor. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a toiler on a still of

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. When that happens, the sign for the Country Music Hall of Fame will be replaced with a statue of himself and the Hall of Fame itself will be a shrine dedicated to him.

In a rare twist, Jerry Seavey and Mike Davis beat The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) by disqualification after Pierre pulls Mike Davis out of a pinfall, even though Davis was never officially part of the match. After the match, The Quebecers viciously attack Seavey and Davis, much to the delight of Johnny Polo.

Lex Luger is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine available now, and his match against Yokozuna at SummerSlam is covered inside.

Joe Fowler re-advertises the show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th. Fowler then interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The King" Jerry Lawler for Face To Face. Bret calls Lawler "scum," and says Lawler never beat anybody to become king. As far as SummerSlam, he did not lose anything and Lawler got stretchered out. At Nassau Coliseum, he will make Lawler pay for what he did to him and his family, and he will prove that Lawler is no king. Lawler says Bret's mouth is making promises his body cannot keep, and he finds it fitting that their grudge match is happening at Nassaum Coliseum "where all the losers congregate." He says this match will take place close to Halloween, when his mother "can come out of the house and look normal," and he wants him to bring his mother to the match to see him lose.

Next week: Highlight from "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Crush on next week's R! Doink! Irwin R. Schsyter! The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson)! Diesel! Razor Ramon!

Vince McMahon interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart in the ring. As far as Bret Hart is concerned, "The King" Jerry Lawler is the king of nothing, and he considers his family honor more important than any championships or his King of the Ring title. His only regret is that he didn't keep Lawler in the Sharpshooter longer, and he knows that Lawler will have to face him in the ring again. When that happens, Lawler won't have a head to place his crown on.

Mr. Perfect beats Mike Bell.

Ludvig Borga trashes America and Lex Luger again, this time using a litter-infested riverbank as an example.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn).

We see footage from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase vs. The 1-2-3 Kid from last week's Wrestling Challenge, where The 1-2-3 Kid gets an upset win on DiBiase with a crucifix pin after DiBiase performs a nonchalant pin. It is then announced that two more matches have been added to SummerSlam: Razor vs. DiBiase and The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Irwin R. Schyster. We then hear from DiBiase, who says that he has never been embarassed and humiliated as he was last week, and blames Razor for the loss. He says he has had time to formulate a way to make Razor pay and make the $10,000 The 1-2-3 Kid took from Razor look like nothing compared to what he will do to him.

Adam Bomb beats Chaz Ware.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler, and a six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled. Okerlund then interviews Bret and Yokozuna, the latter of whom is accompanied by Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Bret says the talk is over, and this Friday night he is heading into the ring to face the most dangerous wrestler of all time, and the worst part of it is that it is the most dangerous match of all. He looks forward to it, however, as this is the shot he has been looking for as Mr. Fuji cannot interfere and Yokozuna cannot run or hide. Mr. Fuji says this Friday is Friday the 13th - which is bad luck for Bret - and that Yokozuna will squash Bret until he screams in pain. Yokozuna says Bret and his family wiill say "sayonara."

We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler has underestimated him and that he has not gotten up to speed on what he can do after all he did to him. He says he will never forget what Lawler did to his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and that him embarrassing his family is what really bugged him. He says that is a line he should not have crossed, as he does not involve his family in his personal business. If Lawler wants to do that, that's fine with him, as he plans to execute him at SummerSlam like the kings of old and make sure that is the last anyone ever hears of Lawler. We then hear from Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel) and Mr. Perfect. Shawn says that he has news for Mr. Perfect: what was perfect in the past is not perfect in the '90s, and says he is perfect for the '90s and will be walking out as WWF Intercontinental Champion. Mr. Perfect says Shawn must be thinking he is something, and tells SHawn he will have to get in the ring with him and find out why he is called Mr. Perfect and why he is the greatest athlete WWF has ever produced. Also announced for the very first time for SummerSlam is a six-man tag match between the team of Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and the team of Bam Bam Bigelow and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).

We see a video package for Ludvig Borga.

"El Matador" Tito Santana beats Barry Hardy.

We see a special interview with Lex Luger. As he talks about academics, he says he never had a gung-ho dad when it came to sports, as his dad was on a music scholarship and studying to become a concert pianist when he was in college. He studied art and music in his life and stressed that on his children when they were growing up, but what he stressed must of all was academics. As Lex grew up and he wanted to take part in athletics, his dad made it crystal clear that academics were a top priority and that if he didn't get straight A's in school, he wouldn't be able to participate in athletics. His dad made it a point for him to be well-rounded, and also wanted him to take part in chorus or band. Looking back on it, it made him a more well-rounded individual, which was not a bad thing. He also talks about identity and self-esteem, saying that in his life, he used athletics as a calling card and a form of communication and acceptance, and even to this day, and even to this day, his friends are either surprised or shocked that he is a professional wrestler because he grew up shy and introverted. He remembers a time in high school when he was so shy that he never asked a girl out. He says if you excel in sports and people look at you in a certain way, being shy and introverted and quiet is considered a sign of arrogance by people who do not you. Friends who knew him learned better, but when people want to stereotype by how you look and act, they think that if you are talented at something but are shy, it means you are arrogant or stuck on yourself, which can turn into a vicious cycle. Lex feels he sometimes fight this stereotype to this day.

Bastion Booger beats Mike Bell. After the match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage steals the Magistrator, makes it "The Machostrator," and draws a cape and a crown on Bastion Booger.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. We hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The King" Jerry Lawler. Savage says Friday is his official "get back in the ring" party at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and that it will be Black Friday for Lawler. Lawler wants to know if Savage is superstitious, and tells Savage to break a bunch of mirrors to ensure he even lives to see seven more years. He says that when he gets his hand on him, he will take him into the stands where his fans are, beat him to an inch of his life and make him see starts without having to wear his star-shaped sunglasses. Savage says he can't help but Lawler, and says he will take him all the way. Lawler stands up, extends his hand, and says "May the best man win." When Savage reaches forward to shake his hand, Lawler slaps him. Savage tells Lawler that he is his at the Garden.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for June 12, 1993

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat "Iron" Mike Sharpe and Ralph LaRue.

Last Sunday in Albany, New York, Shawn Michaels regained the WWF Intercontinental Championship thanks to a new bodyguard who is taller than he is. Because of this, his match against Crush at King of the Ring will now be for the Intercontinental title. We hear from Crush, who says that thanks to Shawn, he cannot be King of the Ring, but now he has a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, and no bodyguard can stop him. Meanwhile, Shawn - who is seen with the new bodyguard - says he cannot bask in the glory of being a two-time Intercontinental Champion thanks to WWF President Jack Tunney making his match against Crush at King of the Ring for the title, and says him being the Intercontinental Champion will not change when he beats Crush.

We see pre-recorded comments from The 1-2-3 Kid, who says that last Monday night, Razor Ramon offered him $7500. That is more money than he has ever seen in his life and could take care of the bills. He says that money may be important to Razor, but to him, family is the most important thing, and if something happened to him, he wouldn't know what his family would do. He declines Razor's third offer.

Before the next match, Bret "Hit Man" Hart appears on the video screen and asks Razor Ramon what makes him thinks he stands one iota of a chance against him at King of the Ring when he was recently beaten by The 1-2-3 Kid. He says that when he steps into the ring with him at King of the Ring, he will beat him 1...2...3. He then leads a "1-2-3" chant to get under Razor's skin as the match begins.

Razor Ramon beats Bert Centeno.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York on Tuesday night, June 29th.

Razor Ramon will face Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect goes up against "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, and Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka will square off in the squared circle tonight. As part of Face To Face, he interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertaker in one corner and Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales in the other. Harvey Wippleman announces that tonight will be the greatest night in Giant Gonzales' night, as tonight, he will make history in front of all "the New York Yankee trash" when he puts The Undertaker out of the World Wrestling Federation, and Okerlund can take that all the way to the blood bank. Bearer, excited by the word "blood," says that there will be blood tonight when The Undertaker rips Giant Gonzales' eyes out and sticks them into the sockets of his dead skull. The Undertaker says that as he and Bearer stand in the comfortable confines of the dark side, they pondered what they would bring to New York. They decided it would be death, darkness and destruction. He also interviews Shawn Michaels, who brags about being WWF Intercontinental Champion again.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Mike Bell. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a hand giving a thumbs up with a no symbol over it over a freeze frame of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan's 2x4.

Boni Blackstone interviews Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji says that this Sunday night, Yokozuna will take back the WWF Championship that Hogan stole from Yokozuna, and insists he issued no challenge whatsoever at WrestleMania 9. He says Japanese people all over the world will rejoice when a fattened-up 550-pound Yokozuna - who eats eight to twelve meals a day consisting of 30-40 pounds of rice and 60-80 pounds of steak, fish and chicken - flattens Hogan on the canvas and regains the title as Hogan screams for mercy and all the little Hulkamaniacs cry. He says that the day Yokozuna becomes the WWF Champion will become a national holiday of Japan.

The Undertaker beats PJ Walker. During the match, it is announced that The Undertaker is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine. At the end of the match, Giant Gonzales and Harvey Wippleman approach the ring, and Giant Gonzales gets in the ring and brawls with The Undertaker. Mr. Hughes gets into the ring and plants Paul Bearer into the mat before Harvey Wippleman takes the urn in Paul Bearer's possession and hands it to Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes then takes the urn and attacks The Undertaker from behind with it.

During the King of the Ring, i t is reported that The Undertaker struggled to his feet and carried Paul Bearer to the backstage area during the commercial break. We hear from Hulk Hogan, who says that this Sunday night, it all comes to a head and destiny meets him. He will face the biggest challenge of his career. He says that finely tuned guitars and fine-feeling women turned him on, but in the twilight of his career, spending time with his family is what turns him on these days. He also says that walking that fine razor's edge that separates greatness from disaster is what really turns him on, and he gets to walk the edge this Sunday, and says the 24-inch pythons are ready for the challenge. This Sunday, we will find out if it is Pearl Harbor all over again, if Hulkamania lives forever and what side of the fence everyone is on. When he steps foot into the ring, the strongest force in the universe will get ready to take over until the end of time. We also learn that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R.

During the match, it is announced an article about where Money Inc. gets their money is in the newest issue of WWF Magazine. After the match, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) show up, and Rick tells Money Inc. that he and Scott have heard they are the best tag team in the WWF and that nobody can beat them. He challenges them to put the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line, right here, right now. The Steiner Brothers get in the ring, but Money Inc. gets out.

("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Okerlund interviews The Steiner Brothers, and Rick says they have worked hard and will find out who the best tag team is. Scott says Money Inc. is a great tag team, and even though they are the champions, they are the best team in the WWF, and Nassau Coliseum is the time to put up or shut up. If he gets the opportunity to hit the Frankensteiner, he and Rick will become the new tag team champions. Also on that night, Crush will face Doink, and Okerlund interviews them for Face To Face. Crush is looking forward to this more than anything in his life, thanks to the concussion followed by the two Doinks. Doink tells him he forgot the defeat. Crush gives Doink credit, but tells him he is coming back bigger and stronger than ever to finish this once and for all. Doink continues to laugh and clown around with a yo-yo.

Okerlund then interviews Luger and Perfect for Face To Face. Perfect says Luger shines pretty good due to the grease on his body, and admits Luger is a crafty wrestler who has with all the assets to be great...but he is far from perfect. Luger says that the camera and teleprompter is the next best thing to a mirror, and says Memorial Day is an appropriate day for Mr. Perfect to sign the burial plot for his career by facing him in the ring.

At this case, he will go through anyone the WWF puts in front of him, including Razor.

We hear from "The Narcissist" Lex Luger and Tatanka. Luger says it is a rarity that fate can be determined ahead of time, but his undefeated streak coming to a grinding halt in two weeks is an inevitability. Tatanka tells Luger that how to realize reality was something granted upon him and his people by the gods, and in two weeks, Luger's reality will be realized and he will be sorry. We also hear from Hulk Hogan concerning his WWF Championship match against Yokozuna, who says everyone knows that he likes the decks stacked, and wants everyone across America to know that the main event is going to be marked in history as the greatest match of all time and prove that Hulkamania will live forever. He says that it was destiny that he became the greatest wrestler of all time, and that it was destiny that he bided his time until he became a five-time WWF Champion. He will prove that Hulkamania, guided by the largest arms in the world is the strongest force in the universe and prove that he can roll Yokozuna onto the mat and prove himself the greatest champion of all time.
