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!

Cornette says he knows the effort it will take to put one man in the casket for the Casket Match, as he explains as there are no rules and the only way to win is to get a man in the casket and close the lid. He says the fans at Madison Square Garden will see something the likes of which they have never seen before in the Casket Match, and that Yokozuna will win. Paul Bearer tells Cornette to go ahead and laugh, but the clock on his embalming room wall is ticking and everything is in order, and he, the casket and The Undertaker is ready. The Undertaker tells Yokozuna that when he is finished battering his Japanese pulp carcass, the cement at Madison Square Garden will erupt, and out will come the gargoyles to take the casket into eternal darkness.

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.

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.

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!
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.
