He says that there was a winner and a loser in that team, and "The King" Jerry Lawler introduces who he calls "the backbone of the team," who is his guest tonight: Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Neidhart calls himself The Hart Foundation, and says he's pulled Bret "Hit Man" Hart out of so many situations and gotten no thanks at all from it. As for his attack on Bret at King of the Ring, he only saved the title so Bret's brother, "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, would take it from Bret personally. Neidhart then introduces Owen Hart himself, who comes down the aisle in his King of the Ring regalia. Owen Hart says everything just as he and Neidhart have planned, and he repeats his first proclamation to be known as "The King of Harts." Owen then tells brother Bret that he is stepping out of his shadow and that he can beat him again for the WWF Championship. Owen states he needs just one shot to do it. Lawler tells Owen to come back as WWF Champion, and Owen says he'll keep to that promise.

DiBiase says that Volkoff works for him now, and it is very obvious that Volkoff hates his gut and that he is only with him for the money. DiBiase also forces a new uniform on him: black and gold trunks with "Property of The Million Dollar Man" on the back. He is also forced to remove his hat and his jacket with the United States and Soviet Union flags on the back, and also wear a black and gold tuxedo shirt with "Property of The Million Dollar Man" on the back, all for the purpose of humiliating Volkoff.

We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that WrestleMania 10 stands as the toughest moment of his career. He wishes Lex Luger all the luck in the world against Yokozuna, and hopes he will face him for the WWF Championship. If all else fails, he will have what it takes to get past Yokozuna and take the WWF Championship back. The big problem on his hands is the match with "The Rocket" Owen Hart, which he did not want, even though Owen brought it on. He does not want to air his thoughts about he feels about Owen, but says Owen is wrong and will pay for his mistake at WrestleMania, as they will go all the way against each other and Owen is going down.

He says that Razor Ramon will not be quick enough to do it, but he is, and that Razor cannot outwrestle him as he is so bazzled by him that it is driving him crazy and he has fallen right into his web. He plans to take the ladder down the aisle, bring it into the ring, climb up it and take both belts to become the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.

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

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

Diesel beats Mike Moraldo. Before the match, Nikolai Volkoff is seen in the front row. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Razor Ramon, who says that at WrestleMania 10, it will just be him, Shawn and the ladder.

We hear from "The Rocket" Owen hart, who says he has no second thoughts about WrestleMania 10, as he has an opportunity to release the frustration that his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart has held down on him all of his life. He says that Bret does not want to wrestle him as he is scared that he is better than him, and that he will prove he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be as he has always known. He says Bret could have helped him, but Bret is too selfish, and he will pay.

Next week: Razor Ramon! The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)!

After the Quebecers' post-match attack Ware and Jones, Johnny Polo mockingly places the tag team titles across the waists of Ware and Jones.

It is announced on Update that the main event of Royal Rumble is The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. Jim Cornette has added a stipulation making it so that it is The Undertaker's one and only chance against Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but Paul Bearer has added a clause of his own making the match a Casket Match. We then hear from Cornette, who says there are a lot of accusations thrown around and shady deals going around, and says he made no mistake and that Paul Bearer pulled a fast one on him. He says that Yokozuna's feelings of fear were really a feeling out process, and now he knows how far to go. He also does not care if Paul Bearer or WWF President Jack Tunney or anybody is against them, as Yokozuna will put The Undertaker in the casket.

We then hear from Lex Luger, who will be facing Ludvig Borga in a grudge match tomorrow night, saying that the stipulation that he must war a protective pad on his right forearm does not bother him, as he welcomes the opportunity to wrestle Borga with no excuses. He says defeat is a very bitter pill for Ludvig Borga to swallow, and now they get to do it one more time and see what Borga is really made of, and he will see if Ludvig Borga will admit to losing if he beats him. We then hear from Ludvig Borga, who insists Lex Luger cheated to beat him. This time, it will be different and he will show no mercy to Luger before he finishes him one and for all.

Liz Woodard is the honorary ring announcer for the next match. Also, Crush is on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday. As Liz does honorary ring announcer duty, Irwin R.

We see an interview from earlier this week where Vince McMahon interviews "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says the friction between himself and Bret "Hit Man" Hart started long before Survivor Series, saying he always did better than Bret but but Bret ended up being the golden child. He says that is fine, but that it is now time to step away from Bret, and he must show everyone that he can make a name for himself on the World Wrestling Federation on his own without using Bret's name. He also says he carried the Hart family honor, and when he collided into Bret, everybody paid attention to him. When he was not invited to celebrate after the match - to Bret's music - he had to tell Bret to stop being so selfish and taking all the recognition. He says he has done a lot in his lifetime, and that it is time for people to pay attention to what he has done. When told that he is Bret's brother, Owen simply states that he is Bret is the brother of "The Rocket" Owen Hart, not the other way around. He then says he has lived in Bret's shadow all his life, and challenges him to a one-on-one fight to settle it once and for all and prove he can beat him.

He has eliminated the fans from his life and mind, and tomorrow night will be the first and last time as he will finish it. We then hear from Savage, who says it will be "Crush Crush Night," and that when he gets down with Crush, Crush will think the New York Giants trounced him before the New York Jets slapped him.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for September 4, 1993

The show begins with a Japanese-language report on the events leading up to SummerSlam. We then see Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, with Cornette telling Lex Luger he blew his one chance at the WWF Championship, saying Yokozuna will be the WWF Champion forevermore. He says Luger may have won the match, but he has lost the war, and there will be absolutely no rematch due to the clause in the contract. Cornette says that if he and Mr. Fuji made one mistake, it was that they underestimated Lex Luger as they expected to face one man. He saw the adrenaline and the look in Luger's eyes that showed no fear, and says it felt like Luger drew from the spirits of the people he had garnered support from during the Call To Action Campaign. He goes on to say that he, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji received no such support when Luger's padded forearm knocked Yokozuna out for 22 minutes and when Luger put his hands on him. He then reiterates that Lex Luger will never get another shot at Yokozuna and the WWF Championship, no matter what, as the reality is Yokozuna and the fantasies have been dashed on the rocks.

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Mike Khoury and Aaron Ferguson.

Vince McMahon interviews Lex Luger. Luger thanks everyone he met on the Lex Express and Call To Action Campaign from the bottom of his heart for all their support, as well as The Palace at Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan and the fans at SummerSlam and the fans watching at home. He says he felt their enthusiasm and belief in him and took it to the ring with him, and thanks them for that. He also says the spirit of the viewers watching from their homes was with them as well. He says it was an honor and a thrill to represent The United States of America and wrestle for the WWF Championship, and calls the match that it was the high point of his career. Yokozuna is still WWF Champion, but Yokozuna still lost. Luger says he feels he didn't lose anything, and says that all things for a reason. He says he hasn't lost any faith or belief in himself, his country and God, and hopes the fans have not lost any faith in him, as somewhere, somehow, someday, he will become WWF Champion.

Doink beats Mike Moraldo.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the Madison Square Garden supercard with a triple main event on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM.

Okerlund then interviews Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel) and Mr. Perfect for Face To Face. Shawn doesn't want to boast, but he is the cat with the most and he is still the WWF Intercontinental Championship. When he is done with The 1-2-3 Kid, The Kid will be a big fat zero. Meanwhile, Mr. Perfect will be facing Diesel. Perfect says Diesel has stuck his nose too far into his business, and now he must eliminate at Madison Square Garden. Diesel says that when his right hand meets Mr. Perfect's face, Mr. Perfect will be going down and he will never get a shot at Shawn Michaels. Mr. Perfect says that when he comes to Madison Square Garden, everybody knows something is going to happen, and once he eliminates Diesel, he is coming for Shawn Michaels.

The Undertaker commends Yokozuna for his acquisition of Jim Cornette, for after September 25th, he will need a gifted speaker to give Yokozuna's eulogy.
