Mr. Hughes quickly beats The Superfly in the first round to continue to the semi-finals of the AWF Championship semi-finals.
Ken Resnick interviews Mr. Hughes, who said he has told everyone who he is and that nobody has survived his Sidewalk Slam. It makes no difference who he faces, as anyone who deals with him will go down to the Sidewalk Slam.
Sgt. Slaughter - in his AWF debut - beats The Ultimate Destroyer, who cannot recover after a Cobra Clutch and two Slaughter Cannons, by count-out in the second round when The Ultimate Destroyer falls to the mat and lies on the apron under the bottom rope. Slaughter continues to the next round of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. is in the Warrior's Corner, and says that Sir Oliver Humperdink did his job in getting him into the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament, and that it is now time to do his. Orton then says Johnny Gunn will be shooting blanks when he steps in the ring with him. After the match, the kids celebrate in the ring with Sgt. Slaughter.

"Luscious" Tommy Rich beats "Mr. U.S.A." Tony Atlas by pinfall in the second round to continue to the next round of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament after Rich shifts his weight to reverse a vertical suplex into the ring into a pinfall and Rico Suave grabs Atlas' ankle.

The Warrior is a big man, but he has a big spirit, and he's coming for him.
Ken Resnick interviews Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who says that while Tony Atlas is a great wrestler in his own right, "Luscious" Tommy Rich is a man of know-how and brains, which is why Rich is in the Rico Suave family. Next week, he will give Jimmie Powers the wrestling lesson of his life in the first round of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. Rico Suave shows up with Tommy Rich, and tells Valentine he hit the nail on the head, while Tommy Rich tells Sgt. Slaughter that the kids will not help him when he gets through with him. Rico Suave asks if Sgt. Slaughter is a draft dodger, and says that if Valentine and Rich faced each other in the tournament, it would make for a great match.
Koko B. Ware beats Nails by disqualification after Nails tosses him over the top rope seconds into their match, and continues to the semi-finals of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, The Warlord is in the Warriors Corner, and he tells "Gentleman" Chris Adams that he will know how powerful he is and how bad pain can feel when he beats him and goes on to become the AWF Heavyweight Champion. After the match, Nails strangles Koko B. Ware with a microphone cable, then "Mr. U.S.A." Tony Atlas gets in the ring and stares Nails down while protecting Koko B. Ware. Nails slowly backs away.

Sgt. Slaughter says Americans have their freedom of choice, and your choice for professional wrestling should be the American Wrestling Federation.
We are introduced to commentator Mick Karch and color commentator Terry Taylor.
Tito Santana beats The Ultimate Destroyer by pinfall in the second round. During the match, it is announced that the rules - which will be obeyed - are as follows: Matches consist of four one-minute rounds, with tossing opponents over the top rope as well as putting one's hands on the referee both grounds for automatic disqualification. The In case the match goes the distance, the referee's decision is final.
Ken Resnick interviews Tito Santana, who says he is feeling good about the AWF in general. He says you have to know how to wrestle to make it in the AWF, and he knows how to wrestle. He says being in shape is an asset, and that knowing how to wrestle will finally pay off...and the wrestling fans like that.
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine - managed by Rico Suave - beats Billy Joe Eaton with the Figure Four Leg Lock in the first round. During the match, we hear from "Gentleman" Chris Adams in the Warriors Corner, who calls AWF the alternative wrestling federation for having rounds much like European wrestling. He says he'll be here next week. Also, a girl is seen with a computer, and Rico Suave is seen talking on his cellular phone.
Tony Atlas beats Sonny Rogers by pinfall in the second round. During the first round, Sonny Rogers was admonished by the referee for excessive eye gouging, and the round was given to Tony Atlas. Johnny Gunn is also seen in the Warriors Corner during the second round, saying he will be here next week to housequake the nation.
Ken Resnick interviews AWF president Paul Alperstein, who created AWF after being a wrestling fan for many years and seeing the industry change dramatically, which led him to want to bring the sport back to its roots. He says the rules will be enforced and followed. There will be no throwing over the top rope or touching the referees, and there will be a break at the ten-count. As for the round system, he wanted to create a system unique to the business that the fans would want to see. He looks to run shows in arenas not only in the United States, but in foreign countries around the world.
Rick Thunder beats Nailz (now going by "Nails" with an "s") in the first round by disqualification after Nails hits Thunder with a wooden stool and a steel chair before choking him with a camera cord. Another referee has to foll
Ken Resnick interviews Sir Oliver Humperdink, who says he didn't succeed by being a slouch and knows good things are happening in AWF. He says people are unhappy to see him, but he's going to be around for a long time, and says he has come with a tag team from the state of Texas, whom he says are at the pinnacle of tag team success: Killer and Psycho, the Texas Hangmen. Psycho says they are the biggest, baddest pieces of meet to come out of Texas, and they're here to beat people up. Killer dares the competition to step into the war zone.
Sgt. Slaughter hands out miniature American flags to the fans in the front row before the next match.
Sgt. Slaugher beats Ken McGuire in the first round with the Cobra Clutch. During the match, Sheik Adnan Alkahassie is seen in the Warriors Corner, announcing that he will bring out who he considers the greatest wrestler in the world next week.
Ken Resnick interviews Sgt. Slaughter, who says it's great to be in the AWF where they brought the rules and regulations back, and thanks Paul Alperstein for making it possible. He praises the round system, then says he will put down everyone who faces him in the American Wrestling Federation.
Koko B. Ware beats Bobby Bradler by pinfall in the second round. During the second round, Mr. Hughes is in the Warriors Corner, and he promises that whoever gets in his face next week will go down for the last time to the sidewalk slam.
Ken Resnick interviews Rico Suave, who says that he has some of the best wrestlers in the ring. He acknowledges the girl with the computer in the ring earlier in the show, and that her computer brought up three names who will take the Suave family to the top, one of which is Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who says that all you have to do with the computer is type in "greatness," and then you have him, who is synonymous with greatness and everything about true wrestling. He says he is the master of the Figure Four Leg Lock, which will take the Suave family to the top.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 7, 1993
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn).
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.
Next week: Highlight from the Lex Luger vs. Yokozuna contract signing from Raw! Razor Ramon! The Heavenly Bodies debut! Ludvig Borga! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Shawn Michaels!

Duggan says the lumberjacks surrounding the ring will be an advantage for him, as he had Yokozuna beat last time until Mr. Fuji threw salt into his eyes. Fuji says that he never threw the salt, and says Duggan ran away from Yokozuna. Duggan says the only man he is afraid of is Dad, and if he can't beat Yokozuna, he has a piece of lumber that will.
Razor Ramon vs. The 1-2-3 Kid from Raw earlier this week is replayed.
Tatanka tells Yokozuna that if he wants to issue a challenge on July 4th, then he, as the first American and a proud Native American, will accept his challenge. With the power of his people and the great spirit, he will take Yokozuna's 500 pounds and slam him through the floor.

In his heart, he has feelings and sensitivity. He says that he has found love, and that he has found someone that he is madly in love with. He introduces his "main squeeze" and his "love tick."

Shawn Michaels beats Russ Greenburg.
Shawn Michaels vs. Crush is now for the WWF Intercontinental Championship...but Michaels doesn't know this until "Mene Gene" mentions this. Michaels is ticked that he has to defend the title so soon, and won't allow him himself to be pushed into a corner so easily by anyone in the WWF.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 8, 1993
Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says two things are for certain: that the tax laws will always change and that the people will always find a way to cheat.
Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Mr. Hughes beat The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) and Kamala when Kamala cannot turn I.R.S. over for the pinfall and I.R.S. pins him with a schoolboy pin.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Advertised is a Lumberjack Match between "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. He also advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - where "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Giant Gonzales will have a one-on-one match-up. Okerlund then interviews Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales. Wippleman says Savage will do his best impression of a BB gun pellet when he gets in the ring with Gonzales, and that all the "ignorant Yankees" need to find their way to the Meadowlands Arena so they can really see "the real southern boy from Argentina" embarrass and humiliate "Macho Man" Randy Savage one final time. He then goes on to say that Savage is an ignorant Yankee himself just for signing the contract for the match. He also interviews Crush, who will face Doink that night. Crush says he has one big score to settle with Doink, where he took him around the ring and took him apart, and says that the second Doink was the only thing that saved him. He dares Doink to bring his double to the ring.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) are coming soon to the WWF...
Yokozuna beats Sean Dakota. During the match, it is announced that Hulk Hogan is on the cover of WWF Magazine, and that "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart is on the inside.
We see the King of the Ring Report. Mr. Fuji (with Yokozuna) says that last time, Yokozuna was not prepared after going twenty hard minutes with Bret "Hit Man" Hart, but now, Yokozuna is prepared for Hogan and he will become the WWF Champion again. Fuji says Hogan will pay. "The Narcissist" Lex Luger says that he finds it amazing that he had to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament, and says that Bob Backlund had to pay the price for that. He says that he cannot wait to face the #1 seed, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, as he will write the final chapter and put an end to his career. It is then announced that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Papa Shango will square off to see who qualifies for the tournament this week on Wrestling Challenge, while Typhoon and Bam Bam Bigelow will do the same next week on Raw. Next, Razor Ramon will face "El Matador" Tito Santana for a slot at the tournament.
Crush beats Steve Vega with the Cranium Crusher.
We hear from Luna Vachon, who says that she will haunt Sensational Sherri's very breath and be her shadow in the darkness, and soon, she will wipe her from this earth. Then, she will be the goddess of the squared circle. Sensational Sherri says Luna attacked her from behind at WrestleMania 9, and on top of that, she attacked her again in the emergency room. If Luna wants a piece of her, she can come and get it, as she invented mean and she will take her anytime, anywhere, one-on-one.
Razor Ramon beats "El Matador" Tito Santana after using Santana's momentum against him following a top rope cross body and grabbing the tights to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM, with $2 off for kids 12 and under. Also on this card is The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) with the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line and Sgt. Slaughter as the special guest referee. Okerlund then interviews Money Inc. DiBiase says that they have had the tag titles for a while, and nothing will change. As for Sgt. Slaughter, he smells a rat with him as special guest referee, and says that The Mega Maniacs got frustrated at WrestleMania 9 and now want a referee in their back pocket. We then go to Sgt. Slaughter, who says that what happened at WrestleMania 9 will not happen again, and he will take care of the situation this time around. I.R.S. complains about The Mega Maniacs taking and spending all their money, but Slaughter says he was there at WrestleMania 9 and saw what happened.
Raymond Rougeau interviews Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales. Next week, Giant Gonzales will face Tatanka, and Wippleman is reminded that he has not seen the last of The Undertaker. Wippleman admits that The Undertaker has kept on coming back, but that is because of sheer stupidity and that The Undertaker does not have enough sense to realize that when he signed for one more match with Gonzales, it would be his final match, and when The Undertaker gets carried out again, he will not get up and he will be carried out to stay, once and for all. As far as Tatanka is concerned, he will be the next in a long line of opponents eliminated from the World Wrestling Federation by Giant Gonzales, as Tatanka will get in the ring for a King of the Ring tournament qualifying match only to be knocked out of the tournament and out of the WWF. Gonzales simply says "Goodbye, Indian."

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 24, 1993
Shawn Michaels beats Dale Wolfe. At the end of the match, he teases the Teardrop Suplex, but he pushes Dale Wolfe, who lands on his back on the mat, and pins him from there.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Shawn Michaels squares off against "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan with the WWF Intercontinental Championship on the line. Meanwhile, at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) will square off against The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake). We hear from The Mega Maniacs. Hulk says that now they have WrestleMania 9 behind them, they are more powerful than ever and they have Money Inc. where they want them. They know what the rules are, and thanks to manager Jimmy Hart, this one is signed, sealed and delivered. Jimmy Hart says that ever since Hulk Hogan has become WWF Champion, it was so easy to get the match signed by WWF President Jack Tunney. Brutus says that you could hit him in the head with a scud missile and it would not do anything, and they can take the mask, as taking Hogan's eye did not help them. Hulk tells Money Inc. they can huff and puff, but as far as blowing their brick house down, they can forget it, as Hulkamania will ride forever.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Reno Riggins and Billy Jones after Reno Riggins almost leaves Billy Jones high and dry. After the match, it is advertised that Smack 'Em Whack 'Em starring The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke) and Lord Alfred Hayes is now available on VHS from Coliseum Video.
Raymond Rougeau interviews Bam Bam Bigelow. All of a sudden, Sensational Sherri walks out, calling out Luna Vachon for attacking her from behind at WrestleMania as even she is woman enough to confront her face to face. If Luna wants a piece of her, she's got it. Bam Bam butts in, saying this is his interview time, and eventually grabs her by the wrists and tells her to get out of his interview. Tatanka shows up and saves Sherri from Bam Bam, drop kicking him off the interview platform and hitting him from mid-air whenever he approaches. Referees and officials have to keep Bam Bam Bigelow away from Tatanka, and Sensational Sherri cheers for Tatanka as this is going on.
"El Matador" Tito Santana beats Louie Spicolli. Before the match, it is announced that "The Rocket" Owen Hart blew out his knee during his match against Bam Bam Bigelow last week, and that we will hear more later on.

Damian Demento beats K.C. Cleric. During the match, it is announced that Crush will face "The Narcissist" Lex Luger next week on Raw.
We see a vignette for The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who plan to face the good, the bad and the ugly in the WWF and hopefully ride tall in the saddle.
br /> "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Tim Patterson.
We see the results of the investigation of "The Narcissist" Lex Luger's forearm. It is revealed that Luger has a steel plate in the forearm area just below the area, and that this plate was surgically implanted after a motorcycle accident. Since it is considered part of his anatomy, WWF President Jack Tunney's office is powerless to do anything about the implant even though it gives Luger an unfair advantage. We hear from Luger, who asks if it is unfair that he looks the way that he does while we look like we do, if is it fair that he has a steel plate implanted in his forearm after a motorcycle accident that Jack Tunney can do nothing about it, and if it is fair that Bret "Hit Man" Hart was knocked out at the WrestleMania brunch and subsequently lost the WWF Championship. He says it isn't, but says life isn't fair unless you're him.
Tatanka fails to show up before the next match with Steve Vega. We find out that Tatanka has been attacked backstage by Bam Bam Bigelow, who proceeds to cut an unconscious Tatanka's hair as referees and officials try in vain to stop him.
It is announced after the commercial break that Tatanka has regained consciousness following the attack from the hands of Bam Bam Bigelow.
Mr. Hughes beats Raven Clark. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Harvey Wippleman, who says that Mr. Hughes is tough, strong and not afraid of anything, much like himself. He tells Mr. Hughes that as a manager, he can do the most for him.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises the Nassau Coliseum show in Uniondale, New York on Saturday night, May 1st, where Mr. Perfect will challenge Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. We hear from Shawn, who says Mr. Perfect is all uptight because he gave him a beating the likes of which he has never seen, and now he wants a piece of him. Shawn says Mr. Perfect's golf game isn't up to par, and if Mr. Perfect spent less time on the green and more time making the green, he could have what he has: the Intercontinental title. Also at Nassau Coliseum, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger takes on Bret "Hit Man" Hart. We hear from Bret, who says that everyone is asking him how he feels that now that he is no longer WWF Champion. Bret says he feels a little bit naked, as he is used to having a title around his waist. The only way he is going to get it back is to go through everybody and get back to the top, starting with Luger. He says Luger loves himself and that metal plate in his forearm, but that stuff is over and the "nice guy" stuff is done as he changed plans. The first thing he will do is wipe Luger out, as Luger's bodybuilding days are the best thing he has to hang on to. Also on the Nassau Coliseum Card, Bob Backlund takes on Blake Beverly, Kamala takes on Bam Bam Bigelow, The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) take on The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan takes on Yokozuna.
Mext week: "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! A special interview with The Undertaker! Doink vs. Mr. Perfect in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament!
Doink tells Mr. Perfect it's the two of them in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament, and he is on a roll. He wants to know if Mr. Perfect has perfect vision or double vision. Mr. Perfect tells Doink not to concern himself with his vision, because next week, the winner qualifies for the King of the Ring Tournament. All Doink should be concerned about is how he will get around him.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Shawn Michaels squares off against "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan with the WWF Intercontinental Championship on the line. Meanwhile, at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - Money Inc.

All of a sudden, Sensational Sherri walks out, calling out Luna Vachon for attacking her from behind at WrestleMania as even she is woman enough to confront her face to face. If Luna wants a piece of her, she's got it. Bam Bam butts in, saying this is his interview time, and eventually grabs her by the wrists and tells her to get out of his interview. Tatanka shows up and saves Sherri from Bam Bam, drop kicking him off the interview platform and hitting him from mid-air whenever he approaches. Referees and officials have to keep Bam Bam Bigelow away from Tatanka, and Sensational Sherri cheers for Tatanka as this is going on.

We see a vignette for The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who plan to face the good, the bad and the ugly in the WWF and hopefully ride tall in the saddle.
br /> "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Tim Patterson.
We see the results of the investigation of "The Narcissist" Lex Luger's forearm. It is revealed that Luger has a steel plate in the forearm area just below the area, and that this plate was surgically implanted after a motorcycle accident. Since it is considered part of his anatomy, WWF President Jack Tunney's office is powerless to do anything about the implant even though it gives Luger an unfair advantage. We hear from Luger, who asks if it is unfair that he looks the way that he does while we look like we do, if is it fair that he has a steel plate implanted in his forearm after a motorcycle accident that Jack Tunney can do nothing about it, and if it is fair that Bret "Hit Man" Hart was knocked out at the WrestleMania brunch and subsequently lost the WWF Championship. He says it isn't, but says life isn't fair unless you're him.
Tatanka fails to show up before the next match with Steve Vega. We find out that Tatanka has been attacked backstage by Bam Bam Bigelow, who proceeds to cut an unconscious Tatanka's hair as referees and officials try in vain to stop him.
It is announced after the commercial break that Tatanka has regained consciousness following the attack from the hands of Bam Bam Bigelow.
Mr. Hughes beats Raven Clark. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Harvey Wippleman, who says that Mr. Hughes is tough, strong and not afraid of anything, much like himself. He tells Mr. Hughes that as a manager, he can do the most for him.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for this Monday night at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises the Nassau Coliseum show in Uniondale, New York on Saturday night, May 1st, where Mr. Perfect will challenge Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. We hear from Shawn, who says Mr. Perfect is all uptight because he gave him a beating the likes of which he has never seen, and now he wants a piece of him. Shawn says Mr. Perfect's golf game isn't up to par, and if Mr. Perfect spent less time on the green and more time making the green, he could have what he has: the Intercontinental title. Also at Nassau Coliseum, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger takes on Bret "Hit Man" Hart. We hear from Bret, who says that everyone is asking him how he feels that now that he is no longer WWF Champion. Bret says he feels a little bit naked, as he is used to having a title around his waist. The only way he is going to get it back is to go through everybody and get back to the top, starting with Luger. He says Luger loves himself and that metal plate in his forearm, but that stuff is over and the "nice guy" stuff is done as he changed plans. The first thing he will do is wipe Luger out, as Luger's bodybuilding days are the best thing he has to hang on to. Also on the Nassau Coliseum Card, Bob Backlund takes on Blake Beverly, Kamala takes on Bam Bam Bigelow, The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) take on The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan takes on Yokozuna.
Mext week: "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! A special interview with The Undertaker! Doink vs. Mr. Perfect in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament!
Doink tells Mr. Perfect it's the two of them in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament, and he is on a roll. He wants to know if Mr. Perfect has perfect vision or double vision. Mr. Perfect tells Doink not to concern himself with his vision, because next week, the winner qualifies for the King of the Ring Tournament. All Doink should be concerned about is how he will get around him.

Mr. Fuji says Yokozuna is disappointed about the outcome of WrestleMania 9. As for "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Yokozuna laid him out once, but this time, he will drape the Japanese flag over Duggan when Yokozuna is done. We also hear from Shawn Michaels, who says Pat Riley could use a cheap shot artist like himself on his team before he brags about tossing Mr. Perfect in a trash can, saying it reminded him of "Grover from Sesame Street" (it is really Oscar). He says Perfect should be challenging him for the Intercontinental title, as he is the man with the gold and the flawless record who is unblemished from head to toe. If Perfect wants a piece of him, he can get it, because being a two-time Intercontinental Champion makes him a two-time loser. Okerlund then announces that Bret "Hit Man" Hart will be facing "The Narcissist" Lex Luger that night.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Raw for Monday night, April 26th at the Manhattan Center at midtown Manhattan, New York.

He says he is not a piece of garbage and that Shawn is not a threat as he has beaten guys bigger than him. At Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York on Saturday night, May 1st, something big is going to happen, because he is perfect. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he feels a little bit naked and a little bit angry as Yokozuna was WWF Champion for all of 20 seconds and he has no respect for that at all. He plans on going back on the saddle and getting back on top, and says "The Narcissist" Lex Luger is the first on his list of people to wipe out as the nice guy persona is over, this is no bodybuilding competition and Luger is in for the fight of his life.

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

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 9, 1992
Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Von Krus with the Sharpshooter. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Shawn Michaels, who says he is a dynasty in the making and a man who will break a lot of hearts, including Bret Hart's. He says that the WWF Intercontinental Championship is his.
We hear from The British Bulldog, who tells Repo Man that he tried to choke him out with his rope but failed, and that he is now fighting mad and ready to bite into him, for this dog refuses to be tied down.
Kamala - making his first appearance on WWF programming for the first time in five years, and now having Harvey Wippleman and a masked man in a pith helmet and safari outfit named Kim Chee as his managers - beats Sonny Blaze after Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee have to tell Kamala to roll his opponent onto his back to pin him.
Tito Santana beats Bob Bradley. During the match, Mr. Perfect reads a letter from someone that is addressed to The Big Boss Man, stating that their sentence is over and that they are a free man, and that Big Boss Man - who called him a number without a name - is "a pig without a prayer."
We hear from The Mountie and Jimmy Hart. Jimmy Hart says that when he created The Hart Foundation, he knew he would have one man that was a backbone and a foundation, and that man is The Mountie. The Mountie says he is the only law and order in the World Wrestling Federation, and he will take on everybody. If anyone wants to step into his path, he will always get his man. We also hear from High Energy (Koko B. Ware and "The Rocket" Owen Hart). Owen says they are soaring to greater heights in the World Wrestling Federation, and Koko says they don't care who they face as they are in the best shape of their lives and everybody from them to the fans have energy.
The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Paul Ellering wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day.
The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) beat Terry Davis and Mark Kay. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Genius and The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly), who continue to call The Legion of Doom "mama's boys" and "sissies."
Wrestlemania 8 is on the cover of the newest WWF Magazine, and inside is a personality profile on The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk).
We hear from Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Jimmy Hart. DiBiase says money comes to money, and that Money Inc. is a very successful partnership, especially financially, and that The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) had their shot at the tag team titles only to come up short. Irwin R. Schyster says The Natural Disasters should have learned that they can't get away with doing things the easy way, and that they will soon learn there is no easy way to do things with Money Inc. We also hear from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Bearer tells Mr. Fuji to have The Berzerker run to the ring, scream and holler so The Undertaker can get his hands on him and it will all be over. The Undertaker says The Berzerker is the most vicious of the Viking warriors, but his travels have brought him directly to the gates of Hell, which he opens and closes.
Crush beats Kato in his WWF debut.
We hear from Papa Shango, who burns numerous pictures of The Ultimate Warrior as he says that the living will fall and the dead will rise as he reigns over The Ultimate Warrior's demise.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Model" Rick Martel on the stage, still wearing Tatanka's feathers on his hat. Martel says he would never spray Arrogance into Tatanka's face, as he has too much class and he is a fashion trendsetter. He says that Tatanka's feathers are the hottest look in Paris right now after they have flown the coop. Martel says that Tatanka cries and snivels so much that his name should be "Whining Arrow," and if Tatanka wants to dance with him, the warpath he travels will soon become a trail of tears.
Sgt. Slaughter wishes everyone a Happy Mother's Day.
