Jim Ross interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in Hart's first appearance on WWF programming in six months. He says that for the past couple of weeks or more, he's had to deal with a lot of things such as a rival wrestling organization making him a great offer to jump ship. Hart says he's not greedy for money, he's greedy for respect, and after a lot of soul searching, he owes everything he's done and everything he ever will do to the WWF fans. WWF Superstars (one of whom is Rocky Maivia, interestingly enough, who isn't debuting for another five weeks) watch from the back as Hart says that he will be with the WWF forever. As for why he left in the first place, he says that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels beat him for the WWF Championship and he has no excuses, and he considers Shawn his opponent, not his enemy. He does say that there is something about Shawn that bugs him, and says that while Shawn may be a little younger, a little more popular and maybe even cuter than he is and that he has done a great job as WWF Champion, he says Shawn will never be as tough and as smart as him. He accepts the challenge of the best wrestler in the WWF today, and at Survivor Series, he will face "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. (This causes Brian Pillman to visibly celebrate, which causes "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to look back and give Pillman the thousand-yard stare as if Pillman is acting a fool.) Bret says he may be a little rusty, but maybe he isn't, but he says that Madison Square Garden isn't a church, but it's holy ground, and they'll see who kicks whose ass that night. Since he's been off, he's thought about a lot of things, and knows he has some of the best fans in the world and it is something he takes quite seriously as a role model. He says the one thing missing from the WWF the last five or six months is him, and that he's coming back because it wouldn't be fun not to take advantage of the opportunity not to. Bret talks about how he went to the bedside of a very sick child and how he came out of his illness when he told him that he would come out of retirement if he could turn the corner. The child got better, but unfortunately he passed away not long after. That child was his nephew. From that day on, he decided to come back and give people someone to look up to, and while he can't dance or pose very well for "girly mags," he's the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
Jerry "The King" Lawler and Todd Pettengill host the first annual Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament. Lawler is disqualified from the tournament after the "taped foot" incident from last year. The first round consists of Bob Backlund vs. Sunny; Dok Hendrix vs. Sable; Sycho Sid vs. Marlena and Mr. Perfect vs. Henry O. Godwinn. Pettengill and Lawler have a Karate Fighters match, which Lawler wins clean.
Mr. Perfect comes to the ring for his match against Hunter Hearst Helmsley with "Wildman" Marc Mero, Sable and WWF President Gorilla Monsoon. Perfect calls out Hunter Hearst Helmsley for injuring him to the point that he can't wrestle tonight. Helmsley calls Perfect a chicken, and Perfect says that Mero is a stand-up guy and has offered to wrestle Helmsley in his place. Helmsley says he is not under contract and not obligated to face Mero, and says the only way he'll face him is if the WWF Intercontinental Championship is on the line. After Mero agrees to defend the belt to return the favor to Perfect for helping him and Helmsley agrees to the match, Gorilla says that the match is on. Mr. Perfect guests on commentary for the next match.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats "Wildman" Marc Mero after Hunter Hearst Helmsley grabs a chair after pushing the referee into Marc Mero and knocking the referee down. Sable grabs the chair, but Mr. Perfect grabs the chair from Helmsley. Just when it is believed that Perfect will hit Helmsley with the chair while the ref is down, he hits Mero with it as he gets back up. After the match, it is revealed that it was all a hoax and that Perfect was in cahoots with Helmsley, and that he did all this to help Helmsley get the Intercontinental title. During the match, it is announced that Ahmed Johnson has been temporarily suspended from the World Wrestling Federation, and that more info will be available this weekend on Livewire.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 30, 1995

As per WWE Interim President Gorilla Monsoon, there will be stipulations for Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and Diesel for the WWF Championship No count-outs, no disqualifications and no time limit.

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. Exclusively for this offer, the WWF Championship replica belt will come with three 8x10 photos of Diesel, while the Intercontinental title replica will come with three 8x10 photos of Razor Ramon.

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.

Crush beats Dan Dubiel with the Cranium Crusher. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Crush, who says that he will come into the ring and go through 29 other men like a tornado in a trailer park and end "Macho Man" Randy Savage's career in the Royal Rumble Match.
Raymond Rougeau interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says that everything is okay between him and Bret, and things have not been better. He says tonight will be their night, and talks about how Bret brought a different WWF championship home and laid it on the dining room table. He then says tonight will be the night that he does that alongside Bret with the tag team titles, and he will get his big break and lift off higher than he has ever gone before. He says that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) are going down and that they will be number one. Bret says that his altercation with Owen is water under the bridge and does not matter anymore, as they are a unit and a pair of brothers going to the top. Tonight, they will prove they are the greatest team in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, and when The Quebecers lose, they will be winning the WWF Tag Team Championship for themselves and their family as well as for the fans. He says it is showtime and that there is no stopping them now.
We hear Men on a Mission's (Mabel, Mo, Oscar) Royal Rumble Rap.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 11, 1993
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Chaz Ware and Paul Jones. Before the match begins, Ware and Jones drop kick The Quebecers from behind, sending them out of the ring, and they then hold the WWF Tag Team Championships up into the air. After the Quebecers' post-match attack Ware and Jones, Johnny Polo mockingly places the tag team titles across the waists of Ware and Jones.
It is announced on Update that the main event of Royal Rumble is The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. Jim Cornette has added a stipulation making it so that it is The Undertaker's one and only chance against Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but Paul Bearer has added a clause of his own making the match a Casket Match. We then hear from Cornette, who says there are a lot of accusations thrown around and shady deals going around, and says he made no mistake and that Paul Bearer pulled a fast one on him. He says that Yokozuna's feelings of fear were really a feeling out process, and now he knows how far to go. He also does not care if Paul Bearer or WWF President Jack Tunney or anybody is against them, as Yokozuna will put The Undertaker in the casket.
Bastion Booger beats Tony Webb.
Jim Ross advertises a show for the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey for tomorrow night with a triple main event. The 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon will take on Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo, Doink squares off with Bam Bam Bigelow, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage meets with Crush. We then hear from Lex Luger, who will be facing Ludvig Borga in a grudge match tomorrow night, saying that the stipulation that he must war a protective pad on his right forearm does not bother him, as he welcomes the opportunity to wrestle Borga with no excuses. He says defeat is a very bitter pill for Ludvig Borga to swallow, and now they get to do it one more time and see what Borga is really made of, and he will see if Ludvig Borga will admit to losing if he beats him. We then hear from Ludvig Borga, who insists Lex Luger cheated to beat him. This time, it will be different and he will show no mercy to Luger before he finishes him one and for all.
Liz Woodard is the honorary ring announcer for the next match. Also, Crush is on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday. As Liz does honorary ring announcer duty, Irwin R. Schyster asks if she has a social security number and if she pays taxes, then asys just because she lives in Delhi, New York and secluded from the rest of civilization does not mean she can avoid paying taxes, and tells her it is time to pay her fair share.
Irwin R. Schyster beats Mike Moraldo.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells us not to drink and drive.

We see an interview from earlier this week where Vince McMahon interviews "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says the friction between himself and Bret "Hit Man" Hart started long before Survivor Series, saying he always did better than Bret but but Bret ended up being the golden child. He says that is fine, but that it is now time to step away from Bret, and he must show everyone that he can make a name for himself on the World Wrestling Federation on his own without using Bret's name. He also says he carried the Hart family honor, and when he collided into Bret, everybody paid attention to him. When he was not invited to celebrate after the match - to Bret's music - he had to tell Bret to stop being so selfish and taking all the recognition. He says he has done a lot in his lifetime, and that it is time for people to pay attention to what he has done. When told that he is Bret's brother, Owen simply states that he is Bret is the brother of "The Rocket" Owen Hart, not the other way around. He then says he has lived in Bret's shadow all his life, and challenges him to a one-on-one fight to settle it once and for all and prove he can beat him.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Corey Student and Joe Brenan. It is announced that on this month's edition of WWF Magazine, there is a picture of The Smoking Gunns in Israel.

"The Model" Rick Martel beats J.W. Storm with the Boston Crab.
Jim Ross re-advertises a show for the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey for tomorrow night as well as the Salvation Army benefit show on December 16th. We hear from Crush, who tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage that he has never been more ready for anything in his life. He says it does not matter what the fans think, as they have been a thorn in his side since day one according to Mr. Fuji. He has eliminated the fans from his life and mind, and tomorrow night will be the first and last time as he will finish it. We then hear from Savage, who says it will be "Crush Crush Night," and that when he gets down with Crush, Crush will think the New York Giants trounced him before the New York Jets slapped him. He says that on "Black Sunday," The Meadowlands will be on fire and he will whup him.
Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Crush! A special interview with Bret "Hit Man" Hart! "Double J" Jeff Jarrett debuts!
We get a brief video package of this week's show.
