Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 13, 1995

The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Sione) vs. The Blu Brothers (Eli and Jacob Blu) ends in a double count-out as both teams take the fight backstage. It is mentioned before the match that Bob "Spark Plug" Holly and The 1-2-3 Kid were supposed to be in this match, but are unable to compete due to Bob Holly not being able to make it to the arena tonight, and that The Headshrinkers are taking their place. It is also noticeable that Afa and "Captain" Lou Albano are not in the arena tonight, either.

We hear more from Lawrence "L.T." Taylor. It is announced that Carl Banks, Chris Spielman, Ricky Jackson, Ken Norton Jr., Reggie White and Steve McMichael will be joining Lawrence "L.T." Taylor's "All Pro" team at WrestleMania 11. We hear from McMichael, who says that Kama has been supposedly talking trash about him and will be at Raw next week to get the bottom of this. We also hear from The Million Dollar Corporation ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, King Kong Bundy, Tatanka, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Kama, who is suddenly part of the group with no explanation), who tell L.T.'s all-pro team that they're stronger than any football team they've ever come across.

Earlier today, Vince McMahon interviewed NFL and WWF legend "The Big Cat" Ernie Ladd, who has done it all in both football and wrestling. He thinks Lawrence "L.T." Taylor's chance are not very good, and will try to help him get any kind of edge that he can, especially since Ernie himself didn't make it in wrestling right away and he knows that L.T. is "wrestling on emotion." He says L.T. is a great athlete, but needs to generate some element of surprise if he is to have a chance at WrestleMania 11.

Before the next match, Barry Horowitz says his chances are great against Jeff Jarrett, especially after becoming more confident and getting some encouragement from Razor Ramon.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Barry Horowitz with the Figure Four Leg Lock. Unlike his past matches, Horowitz really puts up more of a fight than usual.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart has been sick and tired of Jerry "The King" Lawler ducking him for so long, and he promises to beat Lawler into oblivion tonight.

It is announced that Salt 'N Pepa will perform at Lawrence "L.T." Taylor's entrance at WrestleMania 11. We hear from the hip-hop duo as they talk about a few of the WWF Superstars in the recording studio.

We hear from Pamela Anderson and Shawn Michaels. Michaels says they'll be the talk of the town when he wins the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 11.

Numerous matches are official for WrestleMania 11: The Undertaker will take on King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania 11, and that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will take on Bob Backlund in an "I Quit" match. Meanwhile, Razor Ramon gets another shot at "Double J" Jeff Jarrett's WWF Intercontinental Championship, and The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Owen Hart and a mystery partner. In the greatest announcement yet, Lex Luger teams with The British Bulldog to take on The Blu Brothers (Eli and Jacob Blu).

Before the next match, Jerry "The King" Lawler is accompanied to the ring by Bull Nakano.

Jerry "The King" Lawler beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart by count-out when Bull Nakano grabs Hart's leg from below the ring and out of the referee's field of vision, keeping Hart from getting back in the ring. During the match, Bob Backlund can be seen sitting in the crowd, watching the match. Hakushi and Shinja are seen watching from the entrance ramp. After the match, Hart chases after Nakano, who hides behind Hakushi and Shinja. Lawler gets a cheap shot, but Hart gets the last word in and Lawler retreats.

Next week: Razor Ramon vs. Henry Godwinn! The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) vs The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray) for the WWF Tag Team Championships!

Vince McMahon interviews "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and Barry Horowitz outside of the ring. He gives Horowitz an Intercontinental Championship rematch for next week and even has a contract for it, , but when Horowitz signs the contract, Backlund puts Horowitz in the Crossface Chicken Wing and signs it instead. McMahon makes Jarrett vs. Backlund for the WWE Intercontinental Championship official, and Jarrett and The Roadie take their anger out on Barry Horowitz just before the show fades to black.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 10, 1994

Bam Bam Bigelow comes out with other members of The Million Dollar Corporation - "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Tatanka, and Nikolai Volkoff - to start the show.

Lex Luger beats Bam Bam Bigelow despite the attempted interference from The Million Dollar Corporation ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Tatanka, Nikolai Volkoff, King Kong Bundy). During the match, King Kong Bundy - who makes his WWF return later tonight - shows up and distracts Lex Luger, revealing that King Kong Bundy has sided with "The Million Dollar Man" and joined his Corporation. Shortly after the commercial break, Adam Bomb and Mabel show up to even up the numbers game outside of the ring. They eventually celebrate with Luger after the match, and Bam Bam blames Tatanka - who he ran into before the schoolboy pin - for his loss.

Mabel beats Reno Riggins.

Earlier today, "Macho Man" Randy Savage was on a Columbus Day parade float for Cooley's Anemia Foundation with local Fox newscaster Rosanna Scotto.

King Kong Bundy - who is accompanied to the ring by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase - beats Mike Khoury in his WWF return and Raw debut.

It's time for The King's Court. "The King" Jerry Lawler says this will be the shortest King's Court ever, much to the delight of the crowd, and says he hates short people, not least Dink. Lawler then says he has somebody who will take care of Dink for him: Queasy, a minature version of The King. Queasy says he will squash Dink like the bug that he is and scrape him off the bottom of his shoe. Lawler tells Dink he's going to have a little nightmare in the form of Queasy.

The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Sione) beat Cory Student and J.S. Storm.

Next week: Irwin R. Schyster! The British Bulldog!

Doink and Dink show up to end the show. Doink tells "The King" Lawler he has a little surprise for him this weekend on Superstars.

WWF President Jack Tunney announces that both Lex Luger and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will both be given the opportunity to challenge Yokozuna for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 10, meaning that for the first time in WWF history, the WWF Championship will be defended twice in the same event. This Monday night on Raw, there will be a coin toss to dictate who faces Yokozuna. If Luger wins the coin toss, Bret will face Owen Hart, then face whoever is the winner of Luger vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. If Bret wins the coin toss, Luger will face Crush before facing the winner of Bret vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship.

We hear from Jim Cornette, who says that this is the greatest day of his, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji's lives as they are about to be part of the greatest celebration in the history of Japan after Yokozuna retained the WWF Championship against The Undertaker at Royal Rumble despite all the weeks of media barrage swaying public opinion, a conspiracy against them from the WWF and Paul Bearer's attempt to stack the deck against Yokozuna. He claims that Yokozuna won it on his own (despite the massive amount of assistance by the bad guys to get The Undertaker in the casket). Cornette says that when his attorneys are done with the results of the Royal Rumble Match, neither Lex Luger or Bret "Hit Man" Hart will get a shot at the WWF Championship as they will be old and gray.

Schyster. We hear from I.R.S., who says that he thinks Bret "Hit Man" Hart is vulnerable and that Bret should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself for putting his family through the situation of Owen turning on him. If he was Owen, he would disown him, but Owen is doing the smart thing and beating Bret up. Tomorrow at Nassau Coliseum, Bret will be facing him, and if he is thinking about his family problems, then he is in danger, as he should not face him without him in mind. We then hear from Bret, who says that what happened at Royal Rumble is something he will not forget, and that this will not blow over any time soon. He tells I.R.S. he is a great wrestler, but when it comes time for him to shine, he will shine, and he will be at his best tomorrow.

We then hear from Crush, who says that Mr. Fuji will never wave the white flag in tomorrow's match as he goes through a lot of pain and torture in Mr. Fuji's dungeon. He admits Luger may have an advantage by having "Macho Man" Randy Savage in his corner, but if Savage interferes, he will make him surrender along with Luger. We then hear from Savage, who says that tomorrow will be the end of the road for Crush and that he is taking the match seriously.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart congratulates The 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty on beating The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championship, but "The Rocket" Owen Hart is not happy with the fact that his big break slipped away. Bret says he knows they will be the first person to get a title shot The 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty after they beat The Quebecers at Royal Rumble. Bret says he will now dedicate his career to tag team wrestling and his brother Owen after completing all his single matches and 1-on-1 obligations, so he and Owen can win the tag team titles.

It is announced that Marty Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid will be defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) this Monday night in Madison Square Garden in New York City. We hear from The Quebecers and Johnny Polo, who says Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid pulled the upset of the century and that they were not ready; however, he placed a clause in the contract that gave The Quebecers a return match just in case they lost. Jacques vows The Quebecers will win their titles back. Meanwhile, we hear from Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid. Jannetty says The Quebecers aren't laughing so much now after taking them lightly and asks how they feel now.

He says Razor's undefeated streak in Madison Square Garden will come to an end, and he will find out he is all about.

Tatanka beats Barry Horowitz. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Ludvig Borga, who says he will destroy Tatanka for good at Royal Rumble.

Jim Ross interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Before the interview begins, we see footage of Paul Bearer and The Undertaker unveiling the double-wide, double-deep casket intended for Yokozuna, with Paul Bearer saying it will be a ride that he will never forgot and that instead of kicking the titles, all Yokozuna has to do is kick the bucket. He then says that he will not hear any external noise at all. The Undertaker says all Yokozuna will hear is the hounds of Hell baying for his soul. Cornette feels hornswoggled after seeing the footage, and admits that Yokozuna is afraid not of The Undertaker, but of the casket, which he calls "a box" so as not to further scare Yokozuna. He says that because of the fans, WWF President Jack Tunney, Paul Bearer and The Undertaker, they are all victims of a con job. He tells Paul Bearer and The Undertaker that they have backed Yokozuna into a corner and that Yokozuna will come out fighting, doing everything in his power and fighting out of instinct after his one fear was used against him, and that they had better be ready to prepare all the fixings and trimmings of a first-class funeral for The Undertaker that is long overdue, as The Undertaker will be laid to rest along with the hopes and dreams of taking the WWF Championship away from him.

Virgil beats Derek Domino by submission.

Raymond Rougeau interviews Shawn Michaels, who says his chances of winning the Royal Rumble Match are great. Suddenly, Bam Bam Bigelow butts in and says he will win the match, as does "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, Crush, Adam Bomb and "The Model" Rick Martel. Shawn then says he and Diesel will toss everyone out two people at a time, then Diesel will graciously climb out over the top rope to let him, but Diesel says he will not throw the Rumble, which starts an argument between the two of them.

During the Royal Rumble Report, we hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says nobody will rain on his parade when he wins the Royal Rumble Match and goes on to WrestleMania 10, where he will win the WWF Championship for a third time. He is back and better than ever, as the madness has kicked in and he is going to win. We also hear from The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who say they are gearing up for the match and are ready for a potential brawl between themselves. We then hear from The 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty. Jannetty says they will stick together until they face each other at the end, when they try to toss each other over the top rope.

Shawn Michaels is on the cover as well as the inside of the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available now.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says 1994 is the year that all the "tax cheats" will pay, as 1994 will be "the year of the audit."

Irwin R. Schyster beats Tony Roy. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Razor Ramon, who says that I.R.S. may have ripped off the gold around his neck, but he will never rip the gold off his waist in their match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship.

We hear from Crush, who says that this Monday night, the long, slow painful clock will come to a ticking end, and in case he does not win the New York City Rumble, it will be worth trying to end Savage's career, as he hates him and his fans and he cannot wait to destroy him. We then hear from Savage, who says that he plans to win the New York City Rumble, and if Crush is in his way, that will be a free shot on Crush for all to see as he attempts to win.

Next week: Ludvig Borga! Doink! Shawn Michaels! The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) vs. Adam Bomb and Rick Martel! A special interview with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 1, 1994

Before the next match, Quebecer Jacques says he wants to settle something once and for all. He says everyone knows that Lex Luger has a steel plate in his arm, and that he knocked Quebecer Pierre and kept him from participating in Survivor Series. He has some news for Luger: Jacques, Pierre and Johnny Polo have filed a formal complaint, and announces that he will not face Lex Luger until he sees a doctor's note which states that the steel plate has been removed from Luger's right arm. Jacques and Johnny Polo are about to leave, but referees stop them and tell them the match will be happening.

Lex Luger beats Quebecer Jacques. During the match, Lex Luger inadvertently whips Quebecer Jacques into referee Joey Marella, sandwiching him in the corner. Luger goes for the running forearm smash, but Jacques manages to keep the move from happening. Quebecer Pierre shows up, and Johnny Polo drags Jacques out of the ring as Pierre hits Luger with a leg drop. Pierre goes for the pinfall as Johnny Polo wakes Joey Marella up, but Luger kicks out. Luger wrestles Pierre anyway, and hits him with the running forearm smash for the win. Jacques gets in the ring to argue with the referee, but Luger manages to hit Jacques with the forearm anyway to get the win for real. After the match, Johnny Polo gets in the ring to argue with Marella, but he also becomes a running forearm smash recipient.

Jim Ross advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th with a triple main event. There will be a special 30-man New York City Royal Rumble, with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush, The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey), The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), Scott Steiner, The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) Doink, and The Bushwhackers (Butch and Luke) all participating. Yokozuna will also defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka. We hear from Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, who mocks Tatanka's vow of revenge and says they will be nothing compared to what he will suffer on the 17th. He says his people felt that pain as he continues to mock their suffering, and says the other people should not be suffering and that they should all get a job because they are unemployed. He then says Tatanka will be out of professional wrestling along with his oath of revenge when Yokozuna squashes him with the Banzai Drop. All the while, Mr. Fuji laughs. We then hear from Tatanka, who says that this is the most important bout of his career, as he is doing this out of revenge and for the WWF Championship. He is the first American, he represents America to the fullest, and he has not forgotten the weeks of pain and suffering that Yokozuna put him through. He tells Yokozuna to prepare himself for battle, because he will inflict suffering upon him and take the WWF Championship away.

Razor Ramon tells us not to smoke.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Mike Khoury and Tim McNeany. As the match begins, we see pre-recorded comments from Afa and The Headshrinkers, where they talk about the upcoming Royal Rumble Match in Samoan.

Rene Rougeau interviews Razor Ramon. He has said it many times: if something happens to his gold chains, something happens to you. He asks Irwin R. Schyster if he knows how long and hard he worked to buy that precious gold, and asks him what a man like him can do to a guy like I.R.S. When asked about Shawn Michaels hitting him with The Razor's Edge, Razor Ramon says nobody knows how deadly The Razor's Move better than he does, and that is why he uses it. He then tells Irwin . Schyster that where he comes from, it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. He is up, he is coming to Royal Rumble, and he is bringing the gold that cannot be bought. If Irwin R. Schyster wants it, he will have to fight.

Trevor Jones is honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Bastion Booger beats Tony Roy.

Thurman "Sparky" Plugg is coming soon to the World Wrestling Federation!

"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats Barry Hardy with the Sharpshooter. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Owen Hart and Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Owen says that at Royal Rumble, they will be coming for the tag team titles, as Bret has been at the top of the mountain once before and they're coming for it again. Bret says they are in focus, and that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will find out the hard way that they mean business.

On the Royal Rumble Report, it is announced that Billy Gunn, Bart Gunn, "The Model" Rick Martel, Bastion Booger, Marty Jannetty, Mo, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, Ludvig Borga and Tatanka. The last three participants will be announced next week. It is also announced that WWF President Jack Tunney is very nervous about the immense public outcry of support for allowing Lex Luger to participate in the Royal Rumble Match. The opinion poll will close at midnight this Sunday. We then hear from Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Bearer says 1994 is a brand new year and a time to reflect upon past mistakes, but also a time to look towards the future. Bearer goes on to say that 1994 will be "the year of the casket." The Undertaker says he has made his new year's resolution, and Yokozuna will rest in peace.

Ludvig Borga beats John Crystal with the Torture Rack. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says that his wishes have been granted from the powers above, and now he has two opportunities to exact revenge on Ludvig Borga and inflict pain upon him just as Borga did.

Jim Ross re-advertises the January 17th show. Rick Steiner faces Ludvig Borga, and Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. We hear from Jarrett, who says that if Madison Square Garden is Razor's second home, he would hate to see his first, because that is the most dilapidated building he has ever seen in his life. It will be his debut appearance there, and he tells Razor Ramon to get ready, as the Intercontinental Championship will be around his waist. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says that Madison Square Garden is not only special to him, but to every wrestler who gets goosebumps walking in. He tells Jarrett to step into his den, as he is bringing his gold and his fists, and they will fight.

Next week: Razor Ramon! "Double" Jeff Jarrett! Bret "Hit Man" Hart! Yokozuna in a rare appearance in a handicap match! WWF President Jack Tunney makes his decision as to whether or not Lex Luger will be in the Royal Rumble Match!

He is tired of carrying the load for the family only for Bret "Hit Man" Hart to get all the recognition, and he was two for two until Bret got in his way and got him eliminated. He is also offended by not being invited back to the ring for the victory celebration, and knows where he stands with the family as he says that Bret has been a problem for a long time. He tells Bret to stay out of his way, as he is now looking out for number one.

Savage says he is a cheap shot artist and he will cheap shot Crush all he wants, and he'll give him another one at the Meadowlands.

Jeff Jarrett says he will use the WWF to get his break, and he will come back to Nashville as a star. He gives Waldo a dollar and says he will let him play a set or two on the Double J band.

He says WWF President Jack Tunney suspended him and stripped him of the title for not making contractual obligations, and says he answers to no man, follows no rules, and comes and goes as he pleases. If he feels like going out on his boat in Texas instead of defending the title at Madison Square Garden, he is going to do it. As for Razor Ramon, him being the Intercontinental Champion concerns him, as he looks like he combs his hair with a pork chop, spent his whole life in the gutter, and strapped a gold belt along his waist and suddenly called himself the Intercontinental Champion. He is afraid this will cause an epidemic, as any joe (or Jose) can get a gold belt anywhere and call himself a champion. He then says there is only one undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion, and it is him. Suddenly, Razor Ramon shows up and tells Shawn he has been hearing him tell the whole world that he is the undisputed Intercontinental Champion, and if it was up to him, he would take the gold the easy way. All he has to do is beat him one, two, three, but just like his whole life, he has to do it the hard way, go through 19 of the best and fight his way from the bottom to the very top, where he likes it. He then says to say hello to the real Intercontinental champ. Shawn blows bubble gum in his face, but Razor pops it with his toothpick and apologizes for bursting his bubble.

Marty Jannetty beats Reno Riggins.

Jim Ross advertises a WWF seasonal celebration to benefit the Salvation Army Borden Avenue veterans' residence at the Paramount in Madison Square Garden on Thursday, December 16th from 7 PM to 10 PM that is also sponsored by WPLJ 95.5 FM. He then re-advertises the show for the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on December 12th, then interviews Lex Luger and Ludvig Borga for Face To Face. Borga says he did not lose and that Lex Luger cheated the last time they met, and next week, he will finish Lex Luger once and for all and show everyone he is no hero. Luger says he will get a chance to prove that next week, because when he gets in the ring, they are face-to-face, and forearm pad or no forearm pad, he wants to settle this and once for all because he and the fans are tired of listening to him. He cannot wait to take him out one more time, as there will be no more excuses when the square off in the Meadowlands.

Next week: The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)! Bastion Booger! The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn)! Irwin R. Schyster! Tatanka returns!

Fowler then interviews Paul Bearer and Jim Cornette (accompanied by Mr. Fuji) for Face To Face. Cornette says he and Mr. Fuji did not accept the match and says WWF President made them take part in the match. He says that everyone in the back is jealous because Yokozuna is unstoppable, and try to stack the deck against them. He says that last time they were in Madison Square Garden, it got wild; this time around, it will get even wilder, and one way or another, they will close the lid on The Undertaker and give him his final resting place as his time has already passed. Paul Bearer says last time got out of hand when Cornette tossed a bucket of salt into The Undertaker's eyes and caused the disqualification; this time, Yokozuna will go into the casket and there will be a giant cremation.

Adam Bomb beats Brian Myers.

Marty Jannetty heads to the ring for his match when Harvey Wippleman gets in his way. Jannetty shoves him away, but Adam Bomb swings at him only for Marty Jannetty to get the upper hand. Referees have to keep both men from fighting each other.

On the Survivor Series Report, we hear from The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Jacques, Pierre, Jim Cornette, Johnny Polo, Mr. Fuji). Polo asks if the conspiracy theory against The Foreign Fanatics will ever end, as Rick Steiner pulled Jacques' tights to win the match (even though he didn't). He also announces that Ludvig Borga will face Scott Steiner on Raw, and Ludvig says it doesn't care what Rick and Scott will do as Scott's career will be over. Jim Cornette says The All-Americans (Rick, Scott, Lex Luger) are falling one by one, and this weekend, they will announce their replacement for Tatanka. However, Cornette has done his research, and nobody will want to be on the team because they are scared of The Foreign Fanatics, who are after elimination and survival at Survivor Series. He says the Fanatics will reign supreme at Survivor Series. We also hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler will be sorry he ever started a war with his family. He says it is one thing for him to be mad at Lawler and ready to rip his legs from his body, but he went to far and now he has his entire family in the building. He says Lawler bit off more than he can chew, and his Knights will be going down with him. Also, the match between The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey) vs. The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) for the Smoky Mountain Wrestling Tag Team Championships is made official for the event.

We hear from "Double J" Jeff Jarrett in front of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville, Tennessee. He calls Boxcar Willie an example of the corruption in the country music industry, and calls Billy Ray Cyrus "some Italian boy with buggy-whip arms who jumps around like Sweatin' To The Oldies with Richard Simmons." Jarrett says he is the best and that he also wants to smack Razor Ramon in the face like he wants to slap Billy Ray Cyrus, send Men on a Mission (Mabel, Mo, Oscar) back to "the homeless joint where they belong," and make the only "1-2-3" The 1-2-3 Kid hears is when he pins his shoulders on the mat. When all is said and done, everyone will be wanting to buy his debut album.

Before the next match, Doink shows up on the video screen and introduces his double to The Headshinkers (Samu and Fatu): another Doink. Both Doinks tell The Headshrinkers they will see them at Survivor Series.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) quickly beat Greg Hatfield and a barely identified tag team partner named "Cohito." It is announced that next week, there is a sweepstakes where the winner will appear on The King's Court and tell "The King" Jerry Lawler off.

Joe Fowler re-advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, November 27th. Fowler then interviews Diesel and Razor Ramon for Face To Face. Razor admits that Diesel has made a lot of impact since entering the WWF, but he will be in the Garden and he will be bringing all his gold. Diesel says some people think this will be a fight, but he says this will be a war and when they leave, he will be missing the gold around his waist. Razor says it's not about how many times you get knocked down; it's how many times you get back up. He has beaten 19 men to take the Intercontinental Championship, and he will do anything to keep it. He then says that if Diesel wants a piece of him, "don't sing it...bring it."

Adam Bomb beats Marty Jannetty by count-out. During the match, Harvey Wippleman stomps Marty Jannetty as Adam Bomb has the referee distracted. The 1-2-3 Kid goes after Wippleman, but Adam Bomb attacks The 1-2-3 Kid and takes their brawl to the ring, which brings the match to an end. Marty and The 1-2-3 Kid gang up on Adam Bomb, then "The Model" Rick Martel shows up and attacks The 1-2-3 Kid. Diesel also shows up and beats on Jannetty, then Razor Ramon comes in and fights both Martel and Diesel. The 1-2-3 Kid shows up, but he is unable to do anything. Razor, Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid stand tall to end the show.

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.

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.

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!

Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and Yokozuna will face "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in a Lumberjack Match. Okerlund interviews Yokozuna and Duggan for Face To Face. Hacksaw says Memorial Day was a day for all Americans to show respect for all the veterans who put their lives on the line to keep freedom free, but now it's back to business and that this Lumberjack Match has been set up so Mr. Fuji doesn't stick his nose in the match. Mr. Fuji speaks for Yokozuna, and reminds Duggan that Memorial Day is giving the country of Japan a lot of money, and asks how the lumberjacks will get Yokozuna back in the ring if he somehow gets him out.

We hear from The 1-2-3 Kid, who says that he was watching Superstars with his grandparents when he sees Razor Ramon offering him $5000 to get back in the ring with him. He says it is a really hard decision, but he cannot accept the money knowing what will happen to him in the ring.

On the King of the Ring Report, we hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Fuji says there is only one week left before Hulk Hogan meets Yokozuna for the WWF Championship which he claims Hogan stole. He says Hogan will be punished very severely and will scream in pain when Yokozuna squashes him and nobody sees him again. He says that Yokozuna will take the belt back to Japan where it belonds, where it be placed in a shrine from all to see. We then hear from Hogan, who says he has a bone to pick as he squares off with Yokozuna. He says that he will take care of all the family business, but this one is his and all the Hulkamaniacs, all of America and all the world will be watching him and wanting a ringside seat when he takes care of Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. He says that Yokozuna will bow at his feet, and it wil be the "shaka-boom" heard all the world when he slams him onto the mat and sics Jimmy Hart on Mr. Fuji while he is at it.

Typhoon beats L.A. Gore.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan doesn't even know how to start the interview with Giant Gonzales.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan interviews Giant Gonzales and his manager, Harvey Whippleman. Whippleman was right about having a big surprise for the WWF, but he can't get an opponent who's willing to fight him...except the Undertaker, who stood up to him at Royal Rumble.

Speaking of Giant Gonzales, he has a giant surprise for Undertaker himself.

Prime Time Players - Prime Time Wrestling recap for January 4, 1993

Tonight's episode is a special one-hour edition of Prime Time Wrestling, which celebrates some of the best moments of the show's history. Gorilla Monsoon accuses Bobby "The Brain" Heenan of being the direct cause of the show's demise, and that it makes him glad that Vince McMahon has decided that Heenan will not be involved in the show that is taking Prime Time's place: Monday Night Raw. Heenan says he wants to be a part of it as he is "Mr. Television," and that they gave him a chance with The Bobby Heenan Show, which only lasted four episodes. We then see a moment from that show's brief history, where a belly dancer stands on Jamison Winger's back and dances on him.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Virgil and "El Matador" Tito Santana.

Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan talk about Royal Rumble, where the winner gets a shot at the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 9. Monsoon says that Heenan puts his money on Razor Ramon winning the WWF Championship in his match against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Vince calls Heenan out on "not being fair to Flair." We then look back at the time that Bobby Heenan got blown up with dynamite on the set of a Western movie.

"Terrific" Terry Taylor beats Dale Wolfe.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan tells Mr. Perfect that he has heard him asking questions of the other wrestlers about Narcissus, and says that comparing Mr. Perfect to Narcissus would be like comparing ice cream to horse manure. He says horse manure has its place in this world, even perfect horse manure, but Narcissus is so beyond perfect that he could very well be from another galaxy. He says that when he unleashes Narcissus at Royal Rumble, even Perfect will be convinced that Narcissus is from another world.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells Razor Ramon that they have made their match for the WWF Championship personal after attacking his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Hart says that if Razor wanted his attention, he's got it, and promises Razor that the Hart family will get its revenge.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, The Undertaker, "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase, Irwin R. Schyster, Mr. Perfect, Bob Backlund, The Beserker, Yokozuna, Tatanka, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The King" Jerry Lawler, Earthquake, Carlos Colon, Crush, Papa Shango, and Rick "The Model" Martel are confirmed for the Royal Rumble match.

Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Jimmy Hart are excited that they are in the Royal Rumble match, as "twenty-eight different tag teams are in the ring at the same time, excluding themselves." DiBiase says that they both think they're the best, and if it's just the two of them in the ring, then may the best man win. Either way, the money and the gold will all be in Money Inc.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair says he won it last year to become the WWF Champion, and this year, he plans to do it again as he comes for Mr. Perfect.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) tell The Beverly Brothers (Blake and Beau Beverly) that they have the privilege of facing them at their very first Royal Rumble, and that when they're done, the pleasure will be all theirs. They won't take The Beverly Brothers lightly, and they'll be the only ones celebrating when the match is over.

Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan talk about Royal Rumble elimination strategies, ponder how Yokozuna will be eliminated, and look back at the time when Heenan commandeered a yacht and tried to convince Monsoon that he owned it.

Shawn Michaels beats Skinner.

Tickets are now available for next week's Monday Night Raw.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan says he'll think of something to be at next week's Monday Night Raw, and Vince McMaon and Gorilla Monsoon would like to see how he does, especially when he "leaves his brand on just about everything he has participated him" and has a certain smell to him. Heenan says that smell is "like fine wine." Monsoon brings up the time that Heenan made wine with Andre the Giant, saying that he even messed that up, and Heenan doesn't want the footage shown. Unfortunately for Heenan, that footage is shown.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Red Tyler and W.T. Jones in a replay from Wrestling Challenge.

Vince McMahon thanks the fans' support for Prime Time Wrestling through the years before annoucing the premiere of Monday Night Raw. Heenan says he'll be there at Raw somehow, then Jamison Winger - Heenan's assistant from The Bobby Heenan Show - shows up from out of nowhere and awards him with an ear of corn from out of his jacket as a "Corny Award" for being so corny, and tells him he has some macaroni as well, in case he wants that. The thought of where the corn and macaroni has been makes Heenan want to throw up, and he immediately runs off the set as Vince bids the viewers farewell one last time.
