Duke "The Dumpster" Droese beats "The King" Jerry Lawler after Lawler looks in Droese's trash can only to be squirted in the eye by Dink, who is lying in wait inside the can. Lawler chases after Dink, but as soon as Dink runs to the back, it's too late for Lawler to get back in the ring. Lawler tries to use the trash can as a weapon, but Doink suddenly appears behind Lawler and scares him. Lawler then escapes through the crowd.

On October 23rd at 12 PM Eastern/11 AM central, Action Zone premieres on USA Network!

The Heavenly Bodies (Dr. Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) beat Steve King and Mike Bell.

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.

Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly (who is still called Thurman "Sparky" Plugg before the match) beats Richie Rich.

Yokozuna beats Phil Apollo. After the match, The Undertaker's gong sounds, and Yokozuna runs away scared.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 29, 1993

Tatanka beats Richie Rich. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws exploding cigars, a headband and a "bam bam" explosion on Tatanka on the Magistrator.

It is announced that there will be a rematch between Shawn Michaels and Crush at King of the Ring following what happened last week on Superstars.

Doink beats Jack Armstrong with the Stump Puller. He then clotheslines Armstrong after the match.

Boni Blackstone interviews Sensational Sherri. Sherri tells Luna Vachon she knows she will hear her, and says that no matter what it takes, she will rip her hair out of her head to compensate for her lack of brains, and pluck every hair off her face one by one. When the smoke clears, Luna will be down on her knees and say she is truly sensational.

Yokozuna beats Tony Roy (who is called "Tony Ray" here).

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night, May 31st at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face Yokozuna and Bam Bam Bigelow. Razor Ramon, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Marty Jannetty will also be on the card. Okerlund also advertises a show for the Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, June 12th, where Shawn Michaels faces Razor Ramon, The Undertaker squares off with Giant Gonzales, and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger faces Mr. Perfect. Okerlund then interviews Luger and Perfect for Face To Face. Perfect says Luger shines pretty good due to the grease on his body, and admits Luger is a crafty wrestler who has with all the assets to be great...but he is far from perfect. Luger says that the camera and teleprompter is the next best thing to a mirror, and says Memorial Day is an appropriate day for Mr. Perfect to sign the burial plot for his career by facing him in the ring. We then hear from Shawn Michaels, who says that Mr. Perfect and Marty Jannetty conspired to take the Intercontinental Championship, then he has to face his friend Razor Ramon. At this case, he will go through anyone the WWF puts in front of him, including Razor.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Mike Bell and Tony DeVito.

During the King of the Ring Report, we learn that Round 1 is as follows: Bret "Hit Man" vs. Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect vs. Mr. Hughes, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. Bam Bam Bigelow. We hear from Harvey Wippleman and Mr. Hughes. Wippleman says that Perfect has leapt from the from the frying pan and into the fire. Mr. Hughes says Mr. Perfect is going down, for he is the man. We hear from "The Narcissist" Lex Luger and Tatanka. Luger says it is a rarity that fate can be determined ahead of time, but his undefeated streak coming to a grinding halt in two weeks is an inevitability. Tatanka tells Luger that how to realize reality was something granted upon him and his people by the gods, and in two weeks, Luger's reality will be realized and he will be sorry. We also hear from Hulk Hogan concerning his WWF Championship match against Yokozuna, who says everyone knows that he likes the decks stacked, and wants everyone across America to know that the main event is going to be marked in history as the greatest match of all time and prove that Hulkamania will live forever. He says that it was destiny that he became the greatest wrestler of all time, and that it was destiny that he bided his time until he became a five-time WWF Champion. He will prove that Hulkamania, guided by the largest arms in the world is the strongest force in the universe and prove that he can roll Yokozuna onto the mat and prove himself the greatest champion of all time. Now that he has WWF President Jack Tunney in line, he has the title shot and the title, and now he's going to prove that he can keep it.

Mr. Perfect beats Rich Myers.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night, May 31st at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises a show for the Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, June 12th, and announces that Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka will square off in the squared circle that night. He then interviews Tatanka and Bigelow for Face To Face. Tatanka says he cannot come to Madison Square Garden to get his hands on Bam Bam Bigelow. He came to the aid of Sensational Sherri, and Bam Bam responded by attacking him from behind and cutting his hair. Bam Bam says Tatanka is upset because "the Indians sold Manhattan," and says he stuck his nose in his business and attacked him from behind to embarrass and humiliate him, and he responded by cutting his hair. Tatanka says Bigelow has started a war, and he will get his revenge at Madison Square Garden.

Next week: Papa Shango vs. Bret "Hit Man" Hart! "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn)! Mr. Hughes!

Razor Ramon says everyone is laughing at him, but nobody laughs at Razor Ramon. If "The Kid" wants to turn down $2500, he will up the stakes to $5000 just for him. All he has to do is step into the ring one more time, and $5000 could change his life forever. He tells "The Kid" to come and get it.
