Vince McMahon interviews Jim Cornette, Clarence Mason and The British Bulldog in the ring. Cornette isn't too thrilled about what happened at In Your House, and says The British Bulldog is still being passed over for opportunities, as The British Bulldog won by disqualification but Diesel is still the one going to Survivor Series to defend against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart (even though the title does not change hands by disqualification). Cornette wants to get Bulldog a return match against Diesel (for the championship) or Bret Hart (for costing him the title). He then says that Clarence Mason will help get The British Bulldog a fair shake. Mason says that the actions of Gorilla Monsoon are "outrageous, egregious and totally unacceptable," and that the contract specifically stated that the winner of the match would face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at Survivor Series, not necessarily the WWF Champion. Mason demands that Bulldog get a match with Hart, as he would be WWF Champion if it wasn't for Hart. As for the wild card match at Survivor Series, Cornette says that Monsoon is trying to shift the balance of power by forcing The British Bulldog and the team Yokozuna and Owen Hart onto opposite sides. As for next week's match with Marty Jannetty, it's just something that Bulldog shouldn't even be thinking about right now, but Cornette and Bulldog agree that Jannetty will be easil used as a stepping stone. Jannetty runs into the ring, having heard this from backstage, and attacks Bulldog from behind before knocking Cornette out of the ring. Jannetty then confronts Clarence Mason, and nearly slaps him before he can get out of the ring.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Phil Apollo and John Rechner. During the match, The 1-2-3 Kid apologizes to The Smoking Gunns for his actions at In Your House, but also demands that they grant him and Razor Ramon a tag team title rematch...and soon.
Bret "The Hit Man" Hart says that Diesel has held the WWF Championship for nearly a year. He also says that it's tough when two friends go to war, which is exactly what they're doing. He has respect for Diesel, but everything will play in his favor at Survivor Series and that he will become WWF Champion for a third time.
Barry Didinsky advertises the WWF Championship belt and the WWF Intercontinental Championship replica belts, worth $20 each plus $3.95 shipping and handling.

Also, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji show up, and Jim Cornette tells them Razor Ramon hit him in the eye. After the match, The 1-2-3 Kid fights Yokozuna but ends up on the short end of the stick. All of a sudden, Ahmed Johnson shows up and easily body slams Yokozuna as soon as he turns around. When The British Bulldog gets in the ring, he instantly gets the attention of Ahmed, who dares him to make a move as the show ends.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for November 5, 1994
Tatanka beats Billy Gunn after "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase gets on the apron to distract the referee so that Bam Bam Bigelow can push Billy Gunn off the top rope. After the match, Tatanka and Bigelow take the boots to Billy Gunn, but Bart Gunn runs in to make the save, chasing Tatanka and Bigelow out of the ring in the process.
During the Survivor Series report, we hear from Bob Backlund, who says that all the politics are over and that he got what he wanted for the contract for his match against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart: a submission match. He tells Bret to remember that he has put many top wrestlers in the crossface chicken and that nobody - including Bret himself - has been able to get out of it. "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, who is there with him, says his corner will not throw the towel, but Hart's corner will when Bret is put in the crossface chicken wing and forced to submit. We then hear from Bret, who says being the WWF Champion is all about confidence, and he is confident. He knows this is a match between generations and that he will not let his generation down, as there is no way for Backlund to get him in the crossface chicken wing. He tells Backlund that he will be the one watching his back as he is the one with Owen Hart in his corner. The British Bulldog says his towel is not going to be leaving his hands.
Duke "The Dumpster" Droese beats Barry Hardy. After the match, Bob Backlund sneaks into the ring and puts Barry Hardy in the crossface chicken wing, and lets go when Droese runs into the ring. When Droese checks on Barry Hardy, Backlund turns around and puts Droese in the hold, and referees have to pull Backlund off Droese.
We hear from Chuck Norris of Walker, Texas Ranger, who says he looks for the toughest opponents he can find, and there are none tougher than the WWF Superstars. He's at Survivor Series to see them get it on as he takes on a "special troubleshooting referee" role in the Casket Match between The Undertaker and Yokozuna.
Kelly Munson is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.
Diesel beats Tim McNeany.
"The King" Jerry Lawler gets sprayed at with silly string by Dink before the next match.
Doink beats Phil Apollo.
During the Survivor Series report, we hear from The Bad Guys (Razor Ramon, The 1-2-3 Kid, Fatu, Sione, The British Bulldog). Captain Lou Albano says that he will be managing the greatest five-man combination in the world today at Survivor Series. Razor tells "Double J" Jeff Jarrett that he has a good team, but they are better. The 1-2-3 Kid says he and Razor brought it home last year, and with the toughest guys in the World Wrestling Federation, they plan on doing it again this year. The British Bulldog says he and the entire team are here to survive. We then hear from Jim Cornette, who says that The Undertaker had a lot of horrible things happen to him and that nothing should worry him after that, but apparently, Yokozuna does, and that this is why Chuck Norris is the "special troubleshooting referee" for the Casket Match between The Undertaker and Yokozuna. He says Chuck Norris may be a bad dude, but so is Yokozuna. He tells Chuck Norris to do whatever he wants, but tells him to leave The Undertaker to face the music, as the curtain goes down for good on The Undertaker at Survivor Series and the casket is shut for good. We then hear from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Paul Bearer says Yokozuna has heard the news, and that Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette must be scared to death. The Undertaker tells Cornette and Mr. Fuji that they have led Yokozuna to the gates of the dark side once more, and this time, not even Chuck Norris will be able to save them.
We see Irwin R. Schyster in a graveyard, who says that even when you're dead, you still cannot cheat on your taxes and you still owe I.R.S. your fair share. He then has a headstone repossessed after the person lying below it cheated on his taxes by writing off his daughter's birthday party as a business expenses, which only scratched the surface on "John Dough's" pre-death taxes.
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says he repossessed a tombstone, but the fans can rest assured he is not through digging yet.
Irwin R. Schyster beats Aaron Ferguson.
We hear from The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). Bart says Billy was doing well until Bam Bam Bigelow interfered. Next week, they will have Bigelow and Tatanka in a tag team match. Billy says Bigelow stuck his nose where it did not belong, and next week, they will invite Bigelow and Tatanka to their first Texas round-up.
During the Survivor Series report, we hear from Bob Backlund, who says that all the politics are over and that he got what he wanted for the contract for his match against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart: a submission match.

Vince McMahon interviews Bob Backlund in the ring. Vince is shocked by Backlund's actions as of late, especially in his recent match against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart when he finally turned back on his own values. Backlund says he's still the WWF Champion, and says that his standards are higher than ever before, before he goes on the rails about today's society and how everyone has destroyed the world around him. He says he put the crossface chicken wing on Bret Hart because he had the opportunity to put it on everyone in society, which he considers himself not to be a part of anymore. He then goes on about how the crossface chicken wing is the greatest hold in wrestling. The crowd begins to call Backlund a "has been." Vince then says that it was Backlund himself who said that for every hold, there's a counter. Backlund says that if someone can break out of the crossface chicken wing, he will retire from wrestling, then takes off his jacket to prepare for a fight. Lou Giannfrido, who was seen earlier in the night and has written positively about Backlund for years, volunteers to be put in the hold...and Backlund goes nuts. The camera man currently in the ring has to run for cover, and both Vince McMahon and "Macho Man" Randy Savage have to help the officials break the hold. Backlund then looks at his hands again as everyone tends to Anfredo. Backlund then calls himself "Mr. Backlund," and says that what just happened is what discipline is all about.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for February 26, 1994
Razor Ramon beats The Black Phantom.
On Update, we hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he has had a most difficult task set before him at WrestleMania 10, and that wrestling his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart is going to be hard to do. He says that Owen is a great wrestler and like a dog ready for the hunt, but when he steps in the ring with him, he will be in the ring with the best dog. He respects Lex Luger and what he said at last week's edition of The Funeral Parlor, and wishes him the best of luck against Yokozuna before reminding him that he will go down when he steps in the ring with him. We then hear from "The Rocket" Owen Hart, who says that Bret's confidence is a cover-up for fear, as they both know that he is the better Hart and that Bret has been keeping him down in his shadow. At WrestleMania 10, he will step out of his shadow and prove he is the better Hart brother. He tells Bret not to look past him for the World title match, as he will not get past him.
Tony Bueti is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat John Paul and Miguel Rosado. Before the match, Johnny Polo - who replaces Stan Lane on commentary this week - accompanies The Quebecers in a black bathrobe, a snorkel mask and swim flippers. Nikolai Volkoff is seen in the front of the crowd again. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Oscar, who tells The Quebecers that Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will beat them to become WWF Tag Team Champions.
We hear from Crush, who says that he has not been more prepared for anything in his life. He says the fans may be sick and tired of him interfering in "Macho Man" Randy Savage's business and that Savage may be sick and tired of seeing his face, but he is sick and tired of Savage, who he calls "a backstabbing snake." Crush says they will settle it once and for all at WrestleMania 10, and that Mr. Fuji has prepared him for the match. Mr. Fuji tells Savage he will pay from head to toe, and that there will be no mercy when Crush takes care of him once and for all. Crush says that he might take advantage of the rules of their Last Man Standing Match just to pin him in the ring again and again, as there is no room for the both of them in the WWF and it will be finished once and for all.
Thurman "Sparky" Plugg beats Derek Domino.
Raymond Rougeau interviews Shawn Michaels in the ring. As Shawn heads to the ring, he takes the ladder in the aisle and places it in the center of the ring. He talks about how he stood equal everyone until he was no longer happy with it and decided to step up and rise about everyone else by climbing the WWF ladder to sit on top. He says he will continue to sit on top of the WWF, and after all is said and done, he will be standing tall as the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 10. Shawn then goes on to say that his being declared the winner will be the last thing Razor Ramon sees as he is looking at the lights.
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says it is about time that people stopped cheating on their taxes.
Irwin R. Schyster beats Phil Apollo.
This week on Raw: Yokozuna vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage!
During the WrestleMania 10 Report, it is announced that Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids On The Block will be appearing at the event. We then hear from Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Cornette says there is a word on everyone's lips in the WWF: confidence. He says WWF President Jack Tunney is confident that he made the right decision concerning the Royal Rumble Match as well as WrestleMania 10, that Bret "Hit Man" Hart is confident that he will beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship as well as straighten his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart out, and that Lex Luger is confident he will beat Bret. But he says that when you have confidence, you had better back it up, and only Yokozuna is able to back up his own confidence going into WrestleMania 10, as he has put people in the hospital, wreaked havoc and overcome every challenge despite all the obstacles in his path to retain the WWF Championship. He tells Luger to get confident, and says Bret will be focused on other things as he will be torn that he had to face his brother Owen on pay-per-view, which will make him unable to win it all at WrestleMania 10. We then hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says he is ready to go with Crush at WrestleMania 10. It is then announced that there will be a ten-man tag team match between the team of The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bar Gunn), Tatanka, The 1-2-3 Kid and Thurman "Sparky Plug" and the team of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Irwin R. Schyster, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and "The Model" Rick Martel at WrestleMania 10. (The match never happens due to time constraints, and is pushed back to the Raw after WrestleMania 10.)
Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Adam Bomb with the Sharpshooter. During the match, "The Rocket" Owen Hart is seen watching the match from across the aisle.
We hear from Johnny Polo and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre). Polo says The Quebecers are guaranteed victory at WrestleMania 10, and Jacques says September 13th was the beginning of a new legend when they won the tag team titles. Polo then mocks Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) through hip hop verse.
Next week: "Double J" Jeff Jarrett! The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke)! Diesel! The Funeral Parlor with special guest "The Rocket" Owen Hart! Lex Luger!
On Update, we hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he has had a most difficult task set before him at WrestleMania 10, and that wrestling his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart is going to be hard to do. He says that Owen is a great wrestler and like a dog ready for the hunt, but when he steps in the ring with him, he will be in the ring with the best dog. He respects Lex Luger and what he said at last week's edition of The Funeral Parlor, and wishes him the best of luck against Yokozuna before reminding him that he will go down when he steps in the ring with him. We then hear from "The Rocket" Owen Hart, who says that Bret's confidence is a cover-up for fear, as they both know that he is the better Hart and that Bret has been keeping him down in his shadow. At WrestleMania 10, he will step out of his shadow and prove he is the better Hart brother. He tells Bret not to look past him for the World title match, as he will not get past him.
Tony Bueti is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat John Paul and Miguel Rosado. Before the match, Johnny Polo - who replaces Stan Lane on commentary this week - accompanies The Quebecers in a black bathrobe, a snorkel mask and swim flippers. Nikolai Volkoff is seen in the front of the crowd again. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Oscar, who tells The Quebecers that Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will beat them to become WWF Tag Team Champions.
We hear from Crush, who says that he has not been more prepared for anything in his life. He says the fans may be sick and tired of him interfering in "Macho Man" Randy Savage's business and that Savage may be sick and tired of seeing his face, but he is sick and tired of Savage, who he calls "a backstabbing snake." Crush says they will settle it once and for all at WrestleMania 10, and that Mr. Fuji has prepared him for the match. Mr. Fuji tells Savage he will pay from head to toe, and that there will be no mercy when Crush takes care of him once and for all. Crush says that he might take advantage of the rules of their Last Man Standing Match just to pin him in the ring again and again, as there is no room for the both of them in the WWF and it will be finished once and for all.
Thurman "Sparky" Plugg beats Derek Domino.
Raymond Rougeau interviews Shawn Michaels in the ring. As Shawn heads to the ring, he takes the ladder in the aisle and places it in the center of the ring. He talks about how he stood equal everyone until he was no longer happy with it and decided to step up and rise about everyone else by climbing the WWF ladder to sit on top. He says he will continue to sit on top of the WWF, and after all is said and done, he will be standing tall as the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 10. Shawn then goes on to say that his being declared the winner will be the last thing Razor Ramon sees as he is looking at the lights.
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says it is about time that people stopped cheating on their taxes.
Irwin R. Schyster beats Phil Apollo.
This week on Raw: Yokozuna vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage!
During the WrestleMania 10 Report, it is announced that Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids On The Block will be appearing at the event. We then hear from Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Cornette says there is a word on everyone's lips in the WWF: confidence. He says WWF President Jack Tunney is confident that he made the right decision concerning the Royal Rumble Match as well as WrestleMania 10, that Bret "Hit Man" Hart is confident that he will beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship as well as straighten his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart out, and that Lex Luger is confident he will beat Bret. But he says that when you have confidence, you had better back it up, and only Yokozuna is able to back up his own confidence going into WrestleMania 10, as he has put people in the hospital, wreaked havoc and overcome every challenge despite all the obstacles in his path to retain the WWF Championship. He tells Luger to get confident, and says Bret will be focused on other things as he will be torn that he had to face his brother Owen on pay-per-view, which will make him unable to win it all at WrestleMania 10. We then hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says he is ready to go with Crush at WrestleMania 10. It is then announced that there will be a ten-man tag team match between the team of The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bar Gunn), Tatanka, The 1-2-3 Kid and Thurman "Sparky Plug" and the team of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Irwin R. Schyster, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and "The Model" Rick Martel at WrestleMania 10. (The match never happens due to time constraints, and is pushed back to the Raw after WrestleMania 10.)
Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Adam Bomb with the Sharpshooter. During the match, "The Rocket" Owen Hart is seen watching the match from across the aisle.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

Crush, now in darker clothing and matching facepaint, beats Phil Apollo in his first match as a heel with the Cranium Crusher. Crush attacks Apollo further after the match.

("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships last Monday night in Columbus, Ohio only to lose them back to Money Inc. a few days later in Rockford, Illinois. Also during this match, the Stars and Stripes Challenge at the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York City is announced. Children under 7 get in free, children from 7 to 12 are $4 and adults are $7.

It is announced that the encore of King of the Ring is this Tuesday night at 8 P.M. Eastern Time on pay-per-view.
Virgil beats the debuting Bastion Booger. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler use the Magistrator to joke that Bastion Booger is related to "Macho Man" Randy Savage, much to Savage's ire (which in turn becomes a running gag for months).
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, New Jersey on Tuesday night, June 29th. "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Luna Vachon, Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo will all be there. He then advertises a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Sunday night, June 27th.

Also on that night, Mr. Hughes will face Bob Backlund. Okerlund then interviews Mr. Hughes and Harvey Wippleman for Face To Face. Wippleman says Backlund made the biggest mistake of his life signing for a match with Mr. Hughes, and hopes all the rotten Yankees come to see him as it will be the last time they do, for Mr. Hughes will sidewalk slam Backlund out of the WWF. Mr. Hughes says he will take the pride of Backlund much like he took the pride of The Undertaker. We also hear from Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), who will be facing The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) that night. Schyster says it is obvious to them that the Steiners are as stupid as they look, and if they think they can walk in and take the tag team titles from them, that proves how stupid they are. He goes on to say that the "M" on their jackets stands for "moron." DiBiase says they will not underestimate The Steiners, as they have beaten everyone they have crossed path with, but says The Steiner Brothers have yet to cross paths with them.

We hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Fuji tells Duggan he has a great opportunity in the Nassau Coliseum to win the WWF Championship in a Lumberjack Match, and Duggan cannot run away. He says that there is no way Yokozuna will run away, and no way Duggan will get Yokozuna over the top rope. He also interviews Sensational Sherri and Luna Vachon, who will go at it that night. Luna says she is the most dominant force in the WWF and the queen of the ring, and she will eliminate Sensational Sherri. Sherri tells Luna that they have done all they can in anout of the ring, and dares her to get in the ring with her as she has nothing to lose now and wants to see what Luna is made of.
