Take The Wrestling Challenge - Wrestling Challenge recap for August 1, 1993

Before the next match, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase talks about how The 1-2-3 Kid got an upset win on Razor Ramon on Raw and stole $10,000 of his money in the Raw rematch a few weeks later. He then says he hopes Razor Ramon is watching, as he plans to show him what a real man - a real Million Dollar Man - can do to The 1-2-3 Kid in short order.

The 1-2-3 Kid gets an upset win on "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase after DiBiase is distracted by Razor Ramon, which leads him to perform a lackadaisical, lazy pinfall on The Kid, which The Kid reverses into a crucifix pin to get the unlikely victory. After the match, referees and officials have to keep DiBiase away from Razor Ramon, who then gets in the ring and tells DiBiase three things: he got beat, he got beat, and he got beat. Razor then leads a "1-2-3" chant, much to the fury of DiBiase.

We see footage of the Lex Express in Washington, DC; New York City, New York; Boston, Massachusetts and Syracuse, New York as part of the Lex Luger Call For Action Campaign. We also see footage of Lex Luger on

Adam Bomb beats Tony Webb.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund talks about the Madison Square Garden supercard in New York City, New York on Friday, August 13th. Mr. Perfect, Marty Jannetty and Tatanka take on Bam Bam Bigelow, Shawn Michaels and Diesel in six-man tag action. Yokozuna defends the WWF Championship against Bret "Hit Man" Hart in a steel cage. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will take on The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The 1-2-3 Kid will take on Doink, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage takes on "The King" Jerry Lawler in a Challenge Match. Okerlund then interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna. Bret says he'd normally be a little reluctant to step in a steel cage, especially with Yokozuna, but he looks forward to it as Yokozuna can't run or hide and Mr. Fuji can't get involved and knows he's taking the WWF Championship back. Mr. Fuji says Bret fell into his and Yokozuna's trap, and once they're in the ring, he is theirs and Bret will be finished. Bret says Mr. Fuji underestimates the Madison Square Garden fans, and says he will take the WWF Championship back.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Damien Demento and Barry Horowitz.

Bret "Hit Man" says it really irks him and ticks him off when "The King" Jerry Lawler stoops low enough to drag his family into things. When he gets in the ring, he does his job, but he likes to keep his family separate. When Lawler humiliated his father, his mother and his brother Owen hart, he went too far and dragged it to a higher level. He looks forward to destroying Lawler at SummerSlam, saying that the ring will be like a scaffold where kings are executed.

It is announced that Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam, as the match has been made recently official.

Bastion Booger quickly beats Scott Vito.

WrestleMania: The Album is now available, and we see a preview of the music video for "SummerSlam Jam."

Tatanka beats "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

It's time for The King's Court with "The King" Jerry Lawler. This week, Lawler's guest is The Undertaker, who Lawler says isn't as scary as he used to be. After The Undertaker shows up, Lawler says something is missing, and says it's his urn, which he calls "a prized possession." Lawler then says "his close personal friend" Mr. Hughes has it, and though he doesn't know what's in it now, he'll shove The Undertaker in it when he gets his hands on him. The Undertaker grabs the microphone, tells Lawler he's a little bit too consumed with his personal belongings, and if he were Lawler, he'd be more concerned with how close he's standing to Death's door. As far as Mr. Hughes goes, he has something that belongs to him, and if he returns the urn now, he'll bring him to his demise very quickly, but if he has to come looking for Mr. Hughes, it will be a slow, agonizing, painful death. He then tells Mr. Hughes to rest in peace.

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Joey Maggs and Tony DiMauro in their Wrestling Challenge debut.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund talks about the show at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Friday, August 27th. Mr. Perfect takes on Bam Bam Bigelow. The 1-2-3 Kid takes on Bastion Booger. Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) takes on Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster). Tatanka takes on Doink. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon. "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes in a tag team war. Okerlund interviews Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Michaels understands the phrase "When the horse throws you, you jump right back on." Shawn mentions what happened between Razor and The 1-2-3 Kid, and asks if Razor is ready for him. Razor asks Shawn who he's trying to kid - him or himself - and says somebody in the WWF thinks he's ready because he has the title shot. He knows that since he got beaten, people have taken notie. He says he's hitting his stride, and now he's striding for Shawn. Shawn tells Razor that if he thinks being defeated will make him famous in the WWF, then he will make Razor a star, as Razor has no chance. Diesel says he's here to "keep the chicks off the champ," and that Shawn doesn't need his help.

Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Shawn Michaels and Diesel! Mr. Hughes! The King's Court with The 1-2-3 Kid!

The Lex Express Tour is heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Detriot, Michigan; Flint and Saginaw, Michigan; Grand Rapids, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for July 24, 1993

We see footage of the Lex Express on the highway to start the show.

Before the next match, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan says he is proud to be an American, that he is proud of the USA and that he is proud of Lex Luger.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Duane Gill.

On Update, Vince McMahon interviews WWF President Jack Tunney via telephone. Tunney says he has never come across so many people supporting anything, much less Lex Luger's plea for a WWF Championship match with Yokozuna. He admits that Luger suffers an unfair advantage from the steel plate in his right forearm from his motorcycle accident, but he will receive a title shot. However, he must wear a protective foam pad on the forearm with the steel plate in it that is approved by his office during the match. We then hear a response from Lex Luger on the Lex Express, who says he could not be happier with the decision. As for the forearm pad stipulation, that does not bother him at all and he plans to seize the opportunity to win the WWF Champion. He says the people have spoken, but the Lex Express Call To Action does not stop here, and he will continue to meet people until he reaches Detroit, Michigan at SummerSlam, where he will beat Yokozuna to become the WWF Champion.

Ludvig Borga beats Tony DiMoro in his WWF debut.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show for Nassau Coliseum for Friday night, August 27th. The 1-2-3 Kid meets Bastion Booger, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) faces Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, and Mr. Perfect faces Bam Bam Bigelow. Also, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Tatanka takes on Doink, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker team up to take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes. Okerlund then interviews Shawn Michaels and Diesel for Face To Face. Shawn says that Razor Ramon did not come close to winning the Intercontinental Championship at Madison Square Garden (though he did, and Diesel saved Shawn). Shawn does not want to focus that, saying that if Okerlund kept focusing onthe past, he would see himself with hair. He is more interesting in looking to the future. He finds it hilarious that Razor Ramon got a shot at his title by getting beat up by The 1-2-3 Kid. Diesel, when told if he will be at the event, says he is everywhere "The Heartbreak Kid" is because it's his job, and Shawn says there's nothing anybody can do it. Shawn says that he is the greatest wrestler on the planet while Diesel is the toughest thing anybody has ever seen, and between the two of them, Shawn says he will be keeping the Intercontinental title for a long time.

It is announced that The 1-2-3 Kid has accepted "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's challenge from last week on Monday Night Raw, and that their match will take place this weekend on Wrestling Challenge.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster tells the crowd that they are all a sorry bunch of tax cheats.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) by count-out after I.R.S. suplexes Scott Steiner back into the ring just before the end of ten count...and fails to get back in the ring in the nick of time afterwards.

On the SummerSlam Report, , it is announced that The Undertaker is the only person who knows the rules to a Rest In Peace Match, and that Harvey Wippleman may have signed a final contract for Giant Gonzales. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says people ask him what it felt like winning the King of the Ring Tournament, and says it was a career highlight. All of a sudden, "The King" Jerry Lawler ruined it by beating him on the interview platform like he had never been beaten before, either in his career or in his lifetime, and it felt like "a car crash on Unconscious Street." The wheels were upside down, but they were still turning, and those same wheels will grind Lawler up and spit him out when he obliterates him at SummerSlam.

The The 1-2-3 Kid beats Barry Horowitz.

Next week on Superstars: Luna Vachon vs. Sensation Sherri!

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Rich Myers and Tony Webb in their WWF debut.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, August 13th. A six-man elimination tag match of Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled for that night. The 1-2-3 Kid will face Doink, while Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage against Bret "Hit Man" Hart. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face "The King" Jerry Lawler. Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) and Bret are interviewed for Face To Face. Yokozuna is now at 568 pounds. Fuji is upset, as he finds it ridiculous that Yokozuna has to defend the WWF Championship in a steel cage as Bret has been crying for a title shot and got it from WWF President Jack Tunney, whom he accuses of favoritism. He says Yokozuna will finish Bret once and for all, and he will supervise it from the outside of the cage. Bret says the Steel Cage Match is the most dangerous match of all, and says what he really wants is the WWF Championship that Fuji stole from him at WrestleMania 9. He then says the whole point of the steel cage is to keep Fuji from poking his nose in his business, leaving him and Yokozuna all to themselves. He says they both know who the rightful champion is, and there will be no place to run or hide. Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji speak to each other in Japanese, then Yokozuna tells Bret he will be hit very hard.

Next week: Mr. Perfect! Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo)! Adam Bomb! Mr. Hughes! The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu)!

Luna Vachon tells Sensational Sherri that next week, she will finally get her chance and will meet her in the ring one-on-one. She says she is the most dominant force in the WWF. Sensational Sherri tells Luna that every woman must be held accountable for her actions, and says Luna's time will come very, very soon. Next week, she will get the chance to prove she is what she claims to be.

The Lex Express is coming to Alexandria Bay, Utica, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 8, 1993

The Megamaniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) have accepted Money Inc.'s ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) challenge...and with the help of Jimmy Hart and his knowledge of Money Inc., they're going to have an even playing field...

Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) beat Tito Santana and Virgil.

"The Model" Rick Martel shows up and...does the job of the Raw Girl. In the words of Martel, "Nobody can model better than The Model."

Tatanka beats Bill Apollo. During the match, Shawn Michaels is interviewed via phone, and says that he plans to walk out of WrestleMania 9 with the Intercontinental title.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart respects Yokozuna and his record, but knows he and Mr. Fuji don't respect him at all. Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna fire back by saying that Bret is a beaten man already.

Paul Bearer is amazed that Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales went after The Undertaker like they did, but The Undertaker says that Giant Gonzales' fate will be the same as all the rest.

"The Model" Rick Martel tries to replace another Raw Girl. The second one his a bit more reluctant, but Martel still carries the sign for her anyway.

Papa Shango beats Mike Edwards.

Bob Backlund beats Tony DeMoro.

Rob Bartlett interviews "The Model" Rick Martel. He says the Raw Girls have no class and decided to show them what modeling was all about. He has a match tonight against Mr. Perfect, and says that perfection is overrated. Martel plans to show Mr. Perfect why he has class, too.

Mr. Perfect beats Rick Martel with the Perfect-Plex during the commercial break. After the match, Mr. Perfect returns with the two Raw Girls that Martel intimidated earlier in the show.

Next week on Raw: The Ugandan Giant Kamala, Razor Ramon and Typhoon vs. Bam Bam Bigelow!
