Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 16, 1996

Jake Roberts chases Jerry "The King" Lawler to the back before the first match of the night. However, Lawler comes back with Bob Backlund, The Iron Sheik and...The Sultan, who is making his debut on Raw. (It is revealed when the match begins that The Sultan was captured in the Middle East and had his tongue cut out for refusing to talk while being interrogated by the enemy. In reality, this is Fatu in a mask.)

The Sultan beats Jake "The Snake" Roberts with the Camel Clutch after Jerry "The King" Lawler tosses a vial of alcohol into the ring, distracting Roberts.

Owen Hart and Brian Pillman hype up the interview with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at In Your House: Mind Games. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up and says he's going to get his answers as to when Hart is coming back.

Sunny unleashes a large poster of herself to give the gentlemen in the audience something "a little larger than life."

Bob "Spark Plug" Holly and Alex "The Pug" Porteau gets an upset win on The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) after the distraction from Camp Cornette (Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim Cornette), as Owen celebrates early on the apron with a bottle of wine, allowing Porteau to roll up Billy Gunn with a schoolboy. During the match, Jim Ross reveals that Diesel and Razor Ramon are returning live on Raw next week. Also, Camp Cornette showed up to watch the match from up close and also ruin the match for the Gunns.

WWF President Gorilla Monsoon says his attention concerning the return of Diesel and Razor Ramon piqued. He says that Kevin Nash and Scott Hall will not be returning as they are currently under contract with another organization (making this the first time that Diesel and Razor Ramon's real names are uttered on WWF programming). He apologizes to everyone who feel they have been hoodwinked or misled by Jim Ross' statements, and says that he will remain in the studio for the rest of the program to make sure no other misleading statements made, and that he will invoke his presidential privilege to come down swiftly on the perpetrator if they are. (A metallic clang is heard as Monsoon is speaking, and it is revealed that Jim Ross has left the commentary table in disgust.) After Jim Ross leaves, we see that Jerry "The King" Lawler is interviewing Jim Cornette and Vader. Cornette says he has a lot on his plate, and finds it preposterous that the WWF put him in the ring with Jose Lothario. He says that Vader has taught him wrestling and how to unleash the beast in him so he can be ready for Lothario at In Your House: Mind Games. We then see a young competitor named Tony Williams, who will be Cornette's "partner" in his "public workout." He says that this will be the first time the crowd will see a real man like him in competition. We see Cornette do an arm bar and a headlock, but Tony Williams is able to keep up with him and reverse his moves, much to Lawler's chagrin. Tony Williams manages to make some headway with Cornette, however, and Cornette ties him up on the ropes before slapping and berating him.

Jim Ross is back on commentary for the next match, insisting he had no intention of hoodwinking or misleading anybody. Also, Pat Patterson guests on commentary for the next match as it is announced that Patterson will be special guest referee for the finals of the Intercontinental Championship tournament that take place next week. WWF President Gorilla Monsoon also interjects himself into commentary during the match, saying that nothing has come across his desk concerning the return of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall as Jim Ross insists that Diesel and Razor Ramon will return next week and continues to stand by his story and his sources.

"Wildman" Marc Mero beats Owen Hart with his own cast behind the referee's back to continue to the finals of the Intercontinental Championship next week.

We see footage of the South African tour, as well as what could be Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's final performance in the WWF. We see footage of Hart calling Brian Pillman a liar, saying he made no commitment to have an interview with him at In Your House, and calls his brother Owen Hart as bad a liar as Owen, and tells Owen not to speak to him anymore. He says the fans are wondering how he's doing, and says he doesn't know exactly what it is he wants to do quite yet. It is then announced that Brian Pillman will be on Livewire to answer a lot of questions this Saturday on Livewire, which is premiering this weekend.

Faarooq Asaad beats Sycho Sid by disqualification when Faarooq Asaad attacks Sid with a chair as Sunny runs interference only for Sid to kick out, and Sid counters by grabbing the chair and smacking Faarooq Asaad with it in full view of the referee. Faarooq Asaad continues to the finals of the Intercontinental Championship tournament next week. We see a message from Ahmed Johnson, where he tells Faarooq that he lit a forest fire after injuring him and that he will burn him up.

The Undertaker says he will never forget Goldust's name, as his name will be but the first of many to be destroyed on the way to Mankind and Paul Bearer. He tells Goldust this will be his final curtain and the premiere of the new Undertaker.

Paul Bearer tells "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels says he might be seeing him sweat from being in the boiler room, but Shawn will be sweating against Mankind at In Your House: Mind Games. Mankind ponders if taking the WWF Championship will make him a sexy boy, make the girls kiss him and whisper in his ear or if the women will run away in fear as he chokes himself with a rope.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 22, 1996

Sunny and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) show up with a cake at the start of the show. We find out that it is meant for "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, and when Shawn sees it, it is used as bait for a sneak attack by The Smoking Gunns. However, Billy hears some Sweet Chin Music, and Shawn moves the cake towards Sunny before placing a fingerful of cake on Sunny's face. Sunny tries to dump the cake on her, but Ahmed slams it into her face and Shawn kisses the icing off her face not once, but twice. Shawn and Ahmed vs. The Smoking Gunns is over before the bell could even ring, but Ahmed and Shawn got the jump on Sunny and the Gunns.

"Wildman" Marc Mero beats The Goon after a brief fight in the cake icing on the floor outside of the ring. Before the match, WWF President Gorilla Monsoon says the tag team title match will take place later tonight to give Billy Gunn time to recover, and if The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) refuse to participate, they will be stripped of the WWF Tag Team Championships. Also, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin guests on commentary, and Vince McMahon interviews Jake "The Snake" Roberts via telephone. Roberts says he's done, but certainly not out, and both Stone Cold and Jerry "The King" Lawler make fun of his former drug and drink problems. Roberts says he will come back as soon possible, hopefully in two or three weeks but hopefully sooner. After Stone Cold makes fun of the Lex Express and presents the idea of doing his own version where he whips everyone's asses instead of shaking hands and kissing babies, it is announced that Stone Cold has a match against The Undertaker next week, and Stone Cold predicts that he will beat The Undertaker. Also on commentary, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is mentioned, and Steve Austin says that he would beat him if they got in the ring.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels thanks Sunny for the cake, and says that he and Ahmed Johnson plan to take all the championships tonight. He says that The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) can't get much action out of Sunny, but they can get plenty from them.

Next week on Raw: Marc Mero vs. Vader! Sycho Sid vs. Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw!

Brian Pillman shows up before the commercial break. He joins in on commentary for the next match.

"Wildman" Marc Mero is interviewed backstage. Marc Mero says Vader is the biggest cat in his jungle, and he promises jungle warfare and Vader with a severe case of cat scratch fever. He tells Goldust that there are three things he doesn't do: tug on Superman's cape, spit in the wind and mess with Sable. He knows that Goldust is sending letters and presents to Sable, and if Goldust wants his attention, he's got it fully at SummerSlam.

Goldust beats Barry Horowitz.

Sunny says Ahmed Johnson and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels have no idea what being champions are all about, and that real champions don't conduct themselves like Ahmed and Shawn did at the beginning of the show. She calls The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) respectable champions, says that Billy Gunn is fine now, and that The Gunns are ready to defend the tag team titles as best as they can. She says that Shawn and Ahmed will not have their cake and eat it too. Billy Gunn says they brought down the heap, and now they're going to get it in the form of a side of The Smoking Gunns that they won't want to see. Bart Gunn says that Shawn and Ahmed will pay for what they did to Billy and Sunny.

Vince McMahon interviews Vader and Jim Cornette in the ring. Cornette brags about his team (Vader, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog) winning last night at In Your House, specifically Vader winning the match, and says that last night's win is the reason he went to WWF President Gorilla Monsoon and demanded a title shot against "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Cornette then asks Shawn if there was always the one kid who hid behind a tree and bullied him, and says that kid is now grown up and out there in the form of Vader. Cornette says Vader will grab him and shake him for change before taking the WWF Championship from him at SummerSlam, and that there is nobody who can whip Vader as he is the baddest man walking. He says that Michaels will walk into SummerSlam and enter the biggest nightmare of his life before losing the WWF Championship to him.

On Option 6 of the WWF Superstar Line: Will SummerSlam be The Undertaker's last match in the WWF?

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson beat The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) by disqualification after a man in a blue and black singlet with a silver helmet shows up and attacks Ahmed outside of the ring while officials try to stop him. Sunny cheers the mystery man on as he attacks Ahmed, and Shawn Michaels tries to get a piece of the guy to no avail. WHen we get a close-up of his face, Jerry "The King" Lawler notices that he looks like Ron Simmons. He then says to Sunny after she catches up with him "From this day forward...this kingdom is yours." The show ends with the guy in the helmet and Ahmed Johnson brawling again. The Smoking Gunns retain the WWF Tag Team Championships.

Also, Goldust tries to retreat from the match, but Ahmed Johnson - who is scheduled to face Vader later tonight - tosses Goldust back into the ring before the commercial break. Before the match ends, however, Jerry "The King" Lawler tries to attack The Warrior with what is left of Marlena's director's chair when he says that Warrior is going after Marlena (as opposed to Goldust), but runs away when Warrior notices him.

We see footage of the storm near the arena on the night of In Your House: Beware of Dog, as well as the power going out and the Superstars having their matches in the dark. The power outage even makes the front page of the Florence Morning News in Florence, South Carolina.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase says Savio Vega's victory in the dark last night was a fluke, and says Vega can't beat Austin even on his best day.

Ahmed Johnson is carried to the back on a stretcher, as officials are unable to bring his back around. Goldust shows up and gives Ahmed mouth-to-mouth, but when AHmed comes to and sees the gold paint on his lips, he goes after Goldust. He pins Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly to the wall and asks "Wildman" Marc Mero where Goldust is, and when he finds Goldust's dressing room, thanks to Mero, he plows through the guy guarding it and through the door, finding that Goldust isn't there.

Also during the match, Vince McMahon introduces WWF's European fanbase to the show for the very first time, as this is the debut of Raw on Sky Sports.

After the break, Vince McMahon interviews both Razor Ramon and The 1-2-3 Kid. When he mentions the outcome of the match we just saw, The 1-2-3 Kid brings up Razor Ramon costing him a match last week. He then says he's tired of Razor Ramon treating him like a little kid, and says nobody took him seriously the first time he beat Razor. He challenges him to a match next week, thinking that beating him again will make Razor give him some respect. Razor says anything can happen in the WWF, and welcomes the three-front war of The British Bulldog, Dean Douglas and The 1-2-3 Kid. He accepts the challenge after The 1-2-3 Kid walks out.

Backlund says he tried to boon everyone's lives and benefit them during his ten years out of the WWF, and says he is disappointed about how weak everyone is. He says he never gave up or submitted on that day in 1984, and he is still the WWF Champion.

Diesel and Shawn show up, and Lawler wants to know if Bret's lost his mind. Bret tells Diesel has a tremendous amount of respect for him, but at King of the Ring, Diesel will find out why he's the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. Diesel tells Bret he's getting the VIP treatment: Very Intense Pain. Shawn interrupts Bret to hit him with a cheap shot, Diesel hits the Jackknife Power Bomb on Bret, Shawn punches Bret in the face, and Diesel, Shawn and Lawler all attack Bret Hart afterward. Officials try to stop this, but Diesel intimidates them all, making it harder for officials to do their job.

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.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 7, 1993

We see footage from "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase vs. The 1-2-3 Kid from last week's Wrestling Challenge, where The 1-2-3 Kid gets an upset win on DiBiase with a crucifix pin after DiBiase performs a nonchalant pin. It is then announced that two more matches have been added to SummerSlam: Razor vs. DiBiase and The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Irwin R. Schyster. We then hear from DiBiase, who says that he has never been embarassed and humiliated as he was last week, and blames Razor for the loss. He says he has had time to formulate a way to make Razor pay and make the $10,000 The 1-2-3 Kid took from Razor look like nothing compared to what he will do to him.

Adam Bomb beats Chaz Ware.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler, and a six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled. Okerlund then interviews Bret and Yokozuna, the latter of whom is accompanied by Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Bret says the talk is over, and this Friday night he is heading into the ring to face the most dangerous wrestler of all time, and the worst part of it is that it is the most dangerous match of all. He looks forward to it, however, as this is the shot he has been looking for as Mr. Fuji cannot interfere and Yokozuna cannot run or hide. Mr. Fuji says this Friday is Friday the 13th - which is bad luck for Bret - and that Yokozuna will squash Bret until he screams in pain. Yokozuna says Bret and his family wiill say "sayonara."

We see Lex Luger and the Lex Express going across America for the Call To Action Campaign at Worcester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland.

Doink beats Joey Maggs.

On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that Lex Luger and Yokozuna will sign the contract for their match next week on Monday Night Raw. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler has underestimated him and that he has not gotten up to speed on what he can do after all he did to him. He says he will never forget what Lawler did to his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and that him embarrassing his family is what really bugged him. He says that is a line he should not have crossed, as he does not involve his family in his personal business. If Lawler wants to do that, that's fine with him, as he plans to execute him at SummerSlam like the kings of old and make sure that is the last anyone ever hears of Lawler. We then hear from Shawn Michaels (accompanied by Diesel) and Mr. Perfect. Shawn says that he has news for Mr. Perfect: what was perfect in the past is not perfect in the '90s, and says he is perfect for the '90s and will be walking out as WWF Intercontinental Champion. Mr. Perfect says Shawn must be thinking he is something, and tells SHawn he will have to get in the ring with him and find out why he is called Mr. Perfect and why he is the greatest athlete WWF has ever produced. Also announced for the very first time for SummerSlam is a six-man tag match between the team of Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and the team of Bam Bam Bigelow and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).

We see a video package for Ludvig Borga.

"El Matador" Tito Santana beats Barry Hardy.

We see a special interview with Lex Luger. As he talks about academics, he says he never had a gung-ho dad when it came to sports, as his dad was on a music scholarship and studying to become a concert pianist when he was in college. He studied art and music in his life and stressed that on his children when they were growing up, but what he stressed must of all was academics. As Lex grew up and he wanted to take part in athletics, his dad made it crystal clear that academics were a top priority and that if he didn't get straight A's in school, he wouldn't be able to participate in athletics. His dad made it a point for him to be well-rounded, and also wanted him to take part in chorus or band. Looking back on it, it made him a more well-rounded individual, which was not a bad thing. He also talks about identity and self-esteem, saying that in his life, he used athletics as a calling card and a form of communication and acceptance, and even to this day, and even to this day, his friends are either surprised or shocked that he is a professional wrestler because he grew up shy and introverted. He remembers a time in high school when he was so shy that he never asked a girl out. He says if you excel in sports and people look at you in a certain way, being shy and introverted and quiet is considered a sign of arrogance by people who do not you. Friends who knew him learned better, but when people want to stereotype by how you look and act, they think that if you are talented at something but are shy, it means you are arrogant or stuck on yourself, which can turn into a vicious cycle. Lex feels he sometimes fight this stereotype to this day.

Bastion Booger beats Mike Bell. After the match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage steals the Magistrator, makes it "The Machostrator," and draws a cape and a crown on Bastion Booger.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this Friday night. We hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The King" Jerry Lawler. Savage says Friday is his official "get back in the ring" party at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and that it will be Black Friday for Lawler. Lawler wants to know if Savage is superstitious, and tells Savage to break a bunch of mirrors to ensure he even lives to see seven more years. He says that when he gets his hand on him, he will take him into the stands where his fans are, beat him to an inch of his life and make him see starts without having to wear his star-shaped sunglasses. Savage says he can't help but Lawler, and says he will take him all the way. Lawler stands up, extends his hand, and says "May the best man win." When Savage reaches forward to shake his hand, Lawler slaps him. Savage tells Lawler that he is his at the Garden.

Diesel says that the last time he saw a team that formidable was when "Rob, Chip and Ernie were on prime time." Bigelow says that Perfect will be the first to go, and Tatanka will go out in flames.

It's time for The King's Court. Tonight's guest is "The Rocket" Owen Hart. "The King" Jerry Lawler asks Owen how it feels to stand next to the real king. Owen says he made a promise to his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart as well as to his parents that he would not hit him and that he would save the beating to Lawler for Bret at SummerSlam. Lawler asks Owen what was going through his mind when Bret won the King of the Ring Tournament only for him to confront Bret and ruin his coronation. Owen says all he thought is that Lawler is a coward and that Bret is the real king, and that Bret will prove it at SummerSlam. The only reason why he never got involved at King of the Ring is because he promised not to get involved in the match and promised not to get involved with Lawler, but he would have loved to rip his head off. Lawler then mocks Owen's family, which ends up being the last straw for Owen as Owen tells Lawler he made a promise not to let anyone talk bad about his family, and he challenges Lawler to a match next week. Lawler tells him that if he is feeling froggy, all he has to do is jump, because he's ready and he's the king of wrestling. Owen tells Lawler that the only king he is is the Burger King.

He is going into Madison Square Garden and leaving with the WWF Championship. Mr. Fuji can't believe what Lex Luger did either, and says Luger only gave Yokozuna a slight hip toss. He says WWF President Jack Tunney signed the match, and says Bret won't be able to get out of the cage as Yokozuna will smash him into the corner so much that they will have to pull off his remains. Bret says the best thing about the match is that Fuji can't get involved.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for July 10, 1993

We see footage from last Sunday, July 4th at The Stars and Stripes Challenge at the USS Intrepid. Many American pro athletes tried, and even a few Superstars, but none could slam Yokozuna. Crush came close but was forced to put him down, and even "Macho Man" Randy Savage could not do it. All of sudden, a helicopter lands, and Lex Luger - no longer a narcissist and dressed in blue jeans and an American flag shirt - climbs out and heads to the ring. Fuji tells Luger that the contest is over, he says that ever since King of the Ring, Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna have been under his skin. He says there is nothing wrong with America, but he says there is something with "blood-sucking leeches" like Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna putting American down. Fuji spits on Luger, then Luger grabs Fuji and tosses him out of the ring. After hitting him with the steel-plated forearm, Luger picks Yokozuna up and slams him into the mat to thunderous applause.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Rock Warner and W.T. Jones. During the match, it is announced that the newest issue of WWF Magazine - with Bret Hart on the cover and photos of The Smoking Gunns inside - will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.

Also, The Undertaker will face Mr. Hughes one-on-one. He also advertises a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13, where Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Bret "Hit Man" Hart in a Steel Cage Match. Hart and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) are interviewed for Face To Face. Hart appreciates the fact that Yokozuna was slammed on the USS Intrepid, and says it proves anything is possible. He says that Madison Square Garden is like his backyard, and a Steel Cage Match, despite being very dangerous, has to work in his favor as 550 lbs. has a lot of trouble climbing out of the cage and a lot of trouble "getting that big butt through the door." Even better, Mr. Fuji can't stick his nose in his business, as he has Yokozuna all to himself. Mr. Fuji is angry with WWF President Jack Tunney booking this match, as all Bret has to do is run away to win the title. He promises that Bret will pay.

Before the next match, Doink appears on the video screen, saying Crush is so stupid that he does not know if there is one Doink, two Doinks, four Doinks or even sixteen Doinks. As Doink speaks, Doink pops up out of the ring and stands behind Crush. The Doink on the video screen says Crush should be concerned with the Doink behind him instead. The Doink in the ring gets a cheap shot, starting the next match.

Crush beats Doink by count-out. After the match, Crush tosses Doink out of the ring when he gets back in for more, and is kept out of the ring by the referee. As Crush watches Doink leave, another Doink pops up from underneath the ring and attacks Crush from behind with a stick. The real Doink gets back in the ring, and both Doinks take the boots to Crush as referees try to stop them.

Shawn Michaels beats Kevin Krueger. During the match, it is announced that an article featuring Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect is in the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available on newsstands this Tuesday.

On the SummerSlam Report, Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells "The King" Jerry Lawler that he wanted a fight and that Lawler had to start one with the Hit Man. He started a war, and he has now started a fire underneath him that only he can put out, and that Lawler started something only he can finish. Lawler may have assaulted him at King of the Ring and ruined the coronation ceremony, but when he steps in the ring with him at SummerSlam, Lawler will be in the ring with a totally different breed of cat. He will wipe Lawler out and destroy him, and he will take him to the gallows, where he will be excellently executed.

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat Chad Miller and Mitch Bishop in their WWF debut, which also debuts the rapping skills of Oscar.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13. Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty meet Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow in a six-man tag match, while "Macho Man' Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Back at the commentary table, Vince McMahon hypes the match up. Lawler says he has proved who the only king of the World Wrestling Federation and will prove it at SummerSlam, and says Savage will be a warm-up. Savage says there will be "rockin' and reelin' and dancin' on the ceilin'" at Madison Square Garden, but Lawler says he will be the party pooper. Lawler then tells all the New Yorkers to get down on their hands and knees and kiss his feet, and bow down to the real king of wrestling. He says Savage will be doing the same thing, and that he will stick his scepter so far down his throat, they will need a crane to pull it out.

Ted DiBiase then makes fun of Razor Ramon losing his money to The 1-2-3 Kid, saying Ramon is stupid for walking out on national television against "a virtual nobody," not beating him, losing his cool and trying to bribe The Kid for a return match. The crowd chants "Razor" at this point, and DiBiase tells Razor to go back to the same school as the Steiners so that they can have three Steiner brothers: Moe, Larry and Curly. When Vince says if they're scared of the Steiners, they say they're not shaking in their boots and that they're not hard to find.

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.

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.

On the King of the Ring Report, Hulk Hogan - on the set of Thunder At Paradise with Jimmy Hart - asks WWF President Jack Tunney is going to do after he presses Yokozuna to the mat. He simply asks to allow him to bring his motorcycle and tie Yokozuna to it so he can drag him around town to see if there is doubt in anybody's mind about him and whether or not Hulkamania will live forever. He says his power is felt through the Hulkamaniacs as well as the credo of his training. Long after he is dead and gone, a Hulkamaniac will hold his title, but for now, Yokozuna will feel his power. "Mean" Gene Okerlund also announces a 8-man tag team match between the group of The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and the group of Money Inc.
