Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for October 9, 1993
Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Damien Demento and Rock Werner.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart says hearing that "The King" Jerry Lawler is the undisputed king of the WWF makes him sick, especially when he had him in the Sharpshooter for two-and-a-half minutes and came just short of ending his career. He can make one promise right now: if he can make a promise right now, it will be that if he gets in the ring with Lawler again, it will be the end of him.
Adam Bomb beats Mitch Bishop.
Lex Luger is on the cover on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday, and inside is an article on Adam Bomb.
Joe Fowler advertises a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th with a triple main event. Lex Luger will take on Ludvig Borga, Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The King" Jerry Lawler will square off in a grudge match, Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon will team up against Irwin R. 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 Lex Luger and Ludvig Borga for Face To Face. Despite his anti-American rhetoric, Lex Luger admit that Ludvig Borga has racked up quite the record, but he is now at the top of the World Wrestling Federation, where it doesn't get any keener or stiffer. He is glad to be the first one in line to give him a big U.S.A. welcome to the World Wrestling Federation and show him what competition is all about. Ludvig says he will give him a European farewell for his career, because if this is the top of the ladder, then he is not impressed with the WWF, Luger or America. When he pins him, he will stay down.
We see highlights of last week's Intercontinental Championship battle royal from Raw.
Mr. Perfect beats Red Tyler (whose tights are a tad small and make for a few posterior jokes on commentary).
Boni Blackstone interviews Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon. Bam Bam says there was nothing funny about last week, and says "The King" Jerry Lawler was right was about Doink. He let the confetti bucket prank slide the first two times, but the third time, he dumped water on Luna's head. He says that hearing Doink's name drives him crazy as Luna is in a frenzy. Bam Bam says he will make him pay for his pranks and humiliating him and Luna, and when he gets done with him, Doink will wish he was back in the circus on top of a tightrope.
Grudges, Gripes and Grunts is now available on Coliseum Home Video. In the video, Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon take a cruise on a yacht.
Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn), now accompanied by Harvey Wippleman, beat Jerry Fox and Virgil.

Joe Fowler re-advertises the show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th. He then interviews The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre, with Johnny Polo) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) for Face To Face. Polo says the Smoking Gunns are rugged, but The Quebecers do not think much of them. Bart Gunn says The Quebecers do a lot of talking, but they do their talking in the ring, and Billy Gunn tells them that that they will become the tag team champs on the first shot just like The Quebecers did. Polo says The Gunns are climbing the ladder, while they are the top of the ladder and they will stay there after October 29th.
Next week: Two of the main events for Survivor Series are revealed! The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)! The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Pat Tanaka! Ludvig Borga! Highlights from the Intercontinental Championship match on next Monday's Raw!
"The Model" Rick Martel says that he will be wrestling Razor Ramon for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, and he will be the winner because when it comes to him and Razor in the ring, Razor does not cut it. Razor Ramon says this Monday night, The Bad Guy meets The Model for the Intercontinental Championship, and he tells Martel that he is leaving with all the gold.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart says hearing that "The King" Jerry Lawler is the undisputed king of the WWF makes him sick, especially when he had him in the Sharpshooter for two-and-a-half minutes and came just short of ending his career.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Laverne McGill. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews Crush again, who says yet again that he's returning soon. When "Macho Man" Randy Savage asks Crush some questions, he tells Macho Man he's never speaking to him again before hanging up.
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.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for September 18, 1993
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.

Schyster. The 1-2-3 Kid and Shawn Michaels (accompanied here by Diesel), who will face each other that night, are interviewed for Face To Face. The 1-2-3 Kid says it's been one week and there is one week left, and while he is still nervous, he plans to go in the ring and give 110%. 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. He says Mr. Perfect has been a headache for Shawn for some time, and he will be the extra-strength Tylenol that will take care of that headache once and for all.
Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn) beat Russ Greenberg and Mark Thomas. "The King" Jerry Lawler returns to commentary at the start of the match.

Jacques makes it clear that if they wrestle one of The Steiners one-on-one, the other Steiner Brother must stay at home, because whoever wrestles on their side will do the same because they don't cheat. Polo says they don't cheat, they hate cheaters and that they are going to win. Jacques says they will stay champions.

He says that The 1-2-3 Kid has been made an example of, and if anyone touches him, they mess with Diesel. 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.

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

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 13, 1993
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) by disqualification in a chaotic Quebec Rules Match, after Johnny Polo shows up (in a Montreal Canadians sweater, stating "We're The Quebecers Jacques & Pierre, And I'm Johnny," confirming Polo as The Quebecers' new manager) and Scott Steiner hits Jacques with Polo's hockey stick in the heat of the moment. As a result, The Quebecers are the new WWF World Tag Team Champions. In a Quebec Rules Match, the tag titles can be lost by disqualification and/or count-out, and piledrivers, top rope moves and tossing the opponent over the top rope are illegal.
Mr. Perfect beats Tony DeVito...but not without Tony DeVito trying to run away to the back.
SummerSlam will be available on VHS October 3rd.
Razor Ramon beats The Executioner, then hits The Razor's Edge on him after the match.
Vince McMahon interviews newly-crowned WWF World Tag Team Champions The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) and Johnny Polo. When it comes to whether or not they'll give The Steiners (Rick and Scott Steiner) a rematch, they refuse to give them one, but when The Steiners show up with the officials keeping them from entering the ring, they do allow for a one-on-one match between one of the Steiners and one of the Quebecers, and if The Steiners win that singles match, they get a guaranteed tag team title rematch.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage appeared on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon during Labor Day weekend.
Doink beats Rich Myers. During the match, Crush is interviewed via telethon, and he says he's back and returning with power that nobody will believe. When "Macho Man" Randy Savage wishes Crush luck, Crush seemingly hangs up the phone, and it's all chalked up to "technical difficulties." After the match, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan tries to get Doink to throw water at Vince McMahon and the Macho Man, but The Brain gets doused instead. He heads back to the back.

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.

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.

He has always wanted to go there to see something, but now he gets to perform in it. Doink laughs, says all he sees in The 1-2-3 Kid is a kid. Okerlund also interviews "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says he does not like how "The King" Jerry Lawler is acting, especially when Lawler is being a jerk and he is not allowed to physically attack him on commentary. He has called up WWF President Jack Tunner, and now he gets his wish on August 13th. He will do Bret "Hit Man" Hart a favor and slap Lawler in the face.

We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, he says that what irks him is when "The King" Jerry Lawler stoops so low to the point that he drags his family into things. He does his job in the ring, but he keeps his family life separate from his work life. When Lawler went up into and humiliated his parents and also did what he did to his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, he went too far. He now looks forward to destroying Lawler at SummerSlam, and when he gets in the ring, it will look like the scaffold where members of royalty were taken and beheaded.

Okerlund then interviews Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels for Face To Face. Shawn says he never perspires, and says Razor is on a winning streak like the New York Mets have a winning streak, and he only has as much of a chance of winning the Intercontinental Championship from him as the Mets have of winning the World Series. Razor tells Shawn he is better, bigger, stronger, faster, meaner and way better looking than he is, and at Nassau Coliseum, all the ladies are coming to see him. Shawn says he has heard those claims before, and then asks why everyone else who has made those claims are not carrying the Intercontinental title. He says that being big and bad does not make you the wrestler of the '90s, and says he is far beyond everyone else in the WWF and that this is not going to change.
WrestleMania: The Album is now available in record stores everywhere. We then see the music video for "WrestleMania."
Before the next match, Bam Bam Bigelow says he cannot believe Sensational Sherri. As soon as he says she hurt Luna Vachon - who is wearing a black cast on one of her arms - Sherri sticks his tongue out at him. Bigelow says that she hurt Luna, she hurt him. He is sick and tired of having her around, and says her smirk should be knocked off of her face. When Bigelow asks "You know who you are?", Sherri slaps Bigelow, who corners her. Luna then chokes Sherri from behind. Tatanka shows up and gets the better of Bigelow, then runs to the corner to save Sherri. Sensational Sherri vs. Luna Vachon ends in a no-contest.

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.

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.

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.

Tonight's episode starts with a recap of last Sunday's live event from the USS Intrepid, WWF Stars and Stripes Challenge. Crush comes the closest of anyone so far, but when he tries to lifts Yokozuna, he is forced to put him down halfway through when he hurts his back. When it appears there are no more challengers, a blue helicopter lands on the Intrepid and out comes...Lex Luger, now wearing an American flag shirt and blue jeans instead of his usual Narcissist gear, shoving Bobby "The Brain" Heenan out of his way as he approaches the ring. He calls Yokozuna a cancer to the WWF and Mr. Fuji "what's wrong with America." He tosses Fuji out of the ring before ultimately slamming Yokozuna onto the mat, and Lex Luger officially turns face.

It obviously doesn't work and the match goes on as scheduled, albeit with Michaels in his street clothes from Perfect's first attack on him from earlier.
The Lumberjack Match between "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship ends in a disqualification victory for Shawn Michaels after Bam Bam Bigelow gets on the apron and yells at Duggan. As the ref is distracted by Bigelow, Michaels tosses Duggan towards Yokozuna, who attacks him. Yokozuna slowly rolls Duggan back into the ring, and Michaels has the match won until Mr. Perfect attacks Michaels again, causing the referee to call for the bell. After the match, all of the lumberjacks brawl, and Duggan chases them all out with his trademark 2x4 to end the show.
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Typhoon to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 1, 1993
Raymond Rougeau interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Paul Bearer says that not only is The Undertaker unstoppable, but that he is the most powerful entity in the World Wrestling Federation as well as the face of the earth. He says that The Undertaker is heading for Giant Gonzales. The Undertaker tells Giant Gonzales he has grown tired of his futile attempts at destroying what cannot be destroyed, and not only will he draw power from the souls of the deceased, he will draw power from the souls of the living. He has met Giant Gonzales in his element; now Giant Gonzales must meet him in his and enter the world of the dark side, where only he can survive and Giant Gonzales will be made to suffer. He tells Giant Gonzales to rest in peace.
The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Scott Bazo and Bob Young.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - where Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) will square off against The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake). It is announced that Sgt. Slaughter will be the special guest referee for the match to keep it under control. We then see an interview with The Mega Maniacs from Okerlund. Hulk says he feels like a multi-million dollar man since WrestleMania 9, but it's really just the five-time WWF Champion in disguise. He says Money Inc. has been bankrolled and their assets seized once, but their biggest treasure was "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, who is now managing The Mega Maniacs. Now that Hart is on their side and they have the WWF Championship, they are going for the tag titles again. Brutus says the titanium steel plates will tell the real story, and that this time, Money Inc. will be the ones getting split instead of a split decision.
We see a vignette for The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who say they've heard about nothing but trouble in the tag team division. They then shoot bottles and cans with their pistols, and with nothing like a little scrap to get a man's attention, they are heading to the WWF and look for some tag team excitement. They then shoot more bottles. When the smoke clears, they will go down...1...2...3.
virgil beats The White Shadow.
On the King of the Ring Report - a report for King of the Ring, a new WWF event coming to pay-per-view on June 13th - there will be a single-elimination eight-man tournament. Bracketing through means of qualifying matches will start this week. Superstars involved include Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who is seeded #1 by WWF President Jack Tunney. We then hear from Bret, who says he is gathering his thoughts to return to the top, and taking his fans with him as he becomes King of the Ring. He is now in the #1 seed, and he feels sorry for whoever gets in the ring with him. Okerlund also announces that the WWF Championship will be on the line when Hulk Hogan defends the title against Yokozuna. We hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji is not happy his appeal was overruled, and at King of the Ring, Hogan will lose the built as quickly as he won it, as Yokozuna will be fresh this time around unlike at WrestleMania 9. We then hear from Hulk Hogan, who was on the set of Thunder In Paradise in Clearwater, Florida in a pre-recorded interview with Okerlund. Hogan says he is only in Hollywood is simply because it was a prior commitment, and he plans to hang on to the WWF Championship. He says that the ring crew had better have the ring reinforced, for when he gets Yokozuna in the air, he will press him over his head, show him off to the Hulkamaniacs in the arena, and when Yokozuna splits the ring in half, he will go down for a second time. As for Mr. Fuji or anyone else who messes with him or anyone on his side, he is messing with family, which he regards more than life. At King of the Ring, Yokozuna will have a date with disaster, and he will get a haircut and look like Mr. Fuji thanks to Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. It is then announced that Bob Backlund and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will face each other for a seed on Wrestling Challenge, and Doink and Mr. Perfect will go at it for a slot here on Superstars this week.
Doink vs. Mr. Perfect wrestle to a time limit draw, and neither man qualifies for the King of the Ring Tournament. During the match, we are supposed to hear pre-recorded comments from Crush, but we get Doink instead, who suddenly pops up on the screen, says that it is an illusion, then disappears just as instantly.
We hear from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says he had the last laugh last week when he attacked Tatanka backstage and cut his hair. Tatanka says his red hair, which symbolizes his people, is sacred, and when Bam Bam Bigelow desecrated his heritage, it started a fire that will burn until he gets his revenge.
Typhoon beats Larry Ludden.
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger vs. Terry Zeller ends before it begins when Luger knocks Zeller out with a running forearm for standing in front of his mirror. During the match, it is announced that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship next week on Raw.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Tonight at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York - with kids 12 and under getting in for $2 less - Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect. We hear from Mr. Perfect, who says that everywhere he goes, he hears about how Shawn jumped him from behind and treated him like a piece of garbage. Mr. Perfect says he is not a piece of garbage, and that Shawn is. He says Shawn's problem is that he is walking around like he is the king of the ring, but he is a two-time Intercontinental Champion and he knows what it takes to hold the title. He says Shawn has great assets, but he is Mr. Perfect, and that Shawn is about to get what is coming to him. Also on the Nassau Coliseum card, Bret "Hit Man" Hart faces "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. We then hear from Luger, who asks if it is unfair that he is genetically superior while everyone else is genetically shortchanged, if is it fair that he has a steel plate implanted in his forearm after a motorcycle accident that WWF President Jack Tunney can do nothing about it, and if it is fair that Bret "Hit Man" Hart was knocked out at the WrestleMania brunch and subsequently lost the WWF Championship. He says it isn't, and says he will write the final chapter of Bret's career the next time they meet in the ring. Also on the Nassau card: Bob Backlund faces Blake Beverly, Kamala faces Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers face an unknown opponent, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan takes on Yokozuna.
Next week: The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) and Kamala vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Mr. Hughes! "El Matador" Tito Santana vs. Razor Ramon in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament!
Razor Ramon tells "El Matador" Tito Santana that next week to bring it, don't sing it, next week. Santana tells Razor Ramon that when the bell sounds, this Mexican will be coming at him and he intends to put it to him.
The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Scott Bazo and Bob Young.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 3, 1993
Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage start the show outside of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, the site of WrestleMania 9. It is announced that "The Narcissist" Lex Luger may be here later.
Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill.
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage outside of Caesars Palace. He says the reflective pool and its fountains behind them are very appropriate, as Mr. Perfect will be reflecting on his career - which will no longer be perfect - when he beats him at WrestleMania 9 and Mr. Perfect realizes he has finally met his match.
Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the "fountain of the gods" inside Caesars Palace. Savage immediately looks for the gift shop.
We see "Mean" Gene Okerlund interview The Mega-Maniacs (Hulk Hogan, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Jimmy Hart). Hogan says that everyone knows that the eagle is flying slowly and the flag is hanging low, but when you train, say your prayers, take your vitamins, believe in yourself and believe in him, that means you believe in the youth of America and in Hulkamania, and he cannot think of a better time that this Sunday for America to "do a 360" turn it around against Money, Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the tag team titles, so he can tell President Bill Clinton to sleep easy after Sunday. He says The Mega-Maniacs will bankrupt Money Inc. and seize all their assets before throwing them in a semi-trailer, dragging it from New York City to Las Vegas to Los Angeles while Jimmy Hart throws all the money out to ease the national deficit. Hart says he will line up all the major tag teams in the WWF, and there is no doubt in his mind that The Mega-Maniacs will wipe the floor with Money, Inc. before starting their world tour. Brutus tells Hart not to worry about him holding up his end of the bargain, as he is the detail man. When he climbs up to the top of Caesars Palace, he hopes the light bounces off the tag team belts at exactly the right angle so the light can go back to Venice Beach, California back to New York City so all the Hulkamaniacs will know that they are on the money. He then mentions the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," and says they should feed Money, Inc.'s carcasses to the lions. Hulk says "the lions" are the hungry Hulkamaniacs who cannot wait for The Mega-Maniacs to take over the WWF and run roughshod, and that Money Inc. will just be a small snack for them. He then tells everyone not to worry about Brutus' face, as he and Jimmy Hart put his face through "the Hulkamania stress test" by breaking down the Brooklyn Bridge, breaking "the coconuts" on a bull elephant, and finishing knocking down what was left of the Twin Towers, and he couldn't break Brutus' face, which he put through every test known to man, including hitting it with a metal briefcase, which he does. (Thankfully, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is wearing a mask over his face.) He then asks "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?"
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Glenn Ruth.
Vince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler interview Shawn Michaels (who is sitting in a chair above Vince and Lawler), who says that when you are the Intercontinental Champion and the sexist man alive, it only makes sense to sunbathe head and shoulders above the rest. He says that Tatanka has a loot in common with "the rest of the losers who come to Las Vegas," as they rely on luck while he relies on skill. He says that nobody who is anybody knows luck eventually runs out. Shawn says he is concerned about one thing: walking into WrestleMania with a tan line. Shawn then unbuttons his shirt to reveal the Intercontinental title underneath.
Tatanka beats Barry Hardy.
Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Rawat the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York on Monday, April 26th, and that tickets are going fast. After Sean Mooney reminds everyone to set their clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Savings Time (which happens tomorrow), we hear from Slick, who is accompanied by Kamala. Slick says that on Sunday, Bam Bam Bigelow, "The Beast From The East," will become Kamala's feast. Slick says Bam Bam has run his mouth from time to time and has not acted like a gentleman or a good sportsman, and that Kamala knows how to deal with him.

Doink beats Dale Wolfe with the Stump Puller. After the match, Doink opens the gift box he came into the ring with, pulls out a pie, and smacks it right into Dale Wolfe's face.
Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are near the casino as they mention the feud between The Undertaker and Giant Gonzales. Lawler says The Undertaker is just like the rest of the people in Caesars Palace, as the odds are against him and that Giant Gonzales will squeeze his neck until his eyes pop out. When then see the first meeting between the two of them at Royal Rumble.
Harvey Wippleman joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and brings out Giant Gonzales, who is in a suit and tie as Wippleman says Giant Gonzales will destroy The Undertaker once and for all. iant Gonzales tells The Undertaker that he has just rolled snake eyes.
Giant Gonzales beats Virgil, then choke slams him after the match and continues to choke Virgil out. Referees have to pull Giant Gonzales off of Virgil, and Gonzales scares them off.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat two unnamed opponents.
Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Rawat the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York on Monday, April 26th again before reminding everyone about Daylight Savings Time. We then hear from Afa and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), who are reading WWF Magazine. Afa says The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will know what they are all about and to come to fight at WrestleMania as Samu and Fatu tear up a picture of The Steiner Brothers in the magazine. They then eat the two halves of the picture before punching each other, and Afa eats the magazine.
Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the Festival Fountain as a storm is about to happen. Lawler says Bret "Hit Man" Hart's WWF Championship reign is about to come to an end, and Savage thinks the statue of Baccus on the fountain is about to come alive.
The storm has passed, but the fun is just beginning at Caesars Palace. Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage remind everyone to watch WrestleMania 9 on pay-per-view. They are then joined by Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that having 550 pounds of Yokozuna on him was like having a bulldozer on him before backing up and staying there. He says Yokozuna will find out he is the excellence of execution, and that he will not be trapped in the corner like he was at the recent contract signing again. He says he is sore, and has been a little sore before. Savage tells Bret he is against all odds in his match against Yokozuna, but the fans - and Savage himself - are behind him, and now he will beat Yokozuna at WrestleMania 9 and retain the WWF Championship.
We then see a video package of Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna set to the tune of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" to close out the show.
Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill.
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage outside of Caesars Palace. He says the reflective pool and its fountains behind them are very appropriate, as Mr. Perfect will be reflecting on his career - which will no longer be perfect - when he beats him at WrestleMania 9 and Mr. Perfect realizes he has finally met his match.
Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the "fountain of the gods" inside Caesars Palace. Savage immediately looks for the gift shop.
We see "Mean" Gene Okerlund interview The Mega-Maniacs (Hulk Hogan, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Jimmy Hart). Hogan says that everyone knows that the eagle is flying slowly and the flag is hanging low, but when you train, say your prayers, take your vitamins, believe in yourself and believe in him, that means you believe in the youth of America and in Hulkamania, and he cannot think of a better time that this Sunday for America to "do a 360" turn it around against Money, Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the tag team titles, so he can tell President Bill Clinton to sleep easy after Sunday. He says The Mega-Maniacs will bankrupt Money Inc. and seize all their assets before throwing them in a semi-trailer, dragging it from New York City to Las Vegas to Los Angeles while Jimmy Hart throws all the money out to ease the national deficit. Hart says he will line up all the major tag teams in the WWF, and there is no doubt in his mind that The Mega-Maniacs will wipe the floor with Money, Inc. before starting their world tour. Brutus tells Hart not to worry about him holding up his end of the bargain, as he is the detail man.
