After the break, "The King" Jerry Lawler threatens to slap the smile off of someone's face if they point and laugh one more time, but the crowd responds by doing just that. He almost calls The King's Court off out of embarrassment when Lex Luger shows up laughing at Lawler just as much as the crowd themselves. When Lawler asks Luger to sit down, he sits down in Lawler's throne instead of the bench (which he never sits in, as he stands the whole time along with Lawler). Luger says that Mr. Perfect's actions at WrestleMania 10 speak for themselves, and while he's made mistakes and owned up to them, says Perfect should have settled their beef before the match. He dares Perfect to put some action where his mouth is, so he can take him out once and for all.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 15, 1994

Lex Luger beats Bastion Booger.

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 tells The Quebecers that if they cannot get it done, they might as well return to Canada. The 1-2-3 Kid says they will see if it was a fluke victory, and that hopefully they will defend the titles and keep them.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat J.W. Storm and Tony DeVito. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Afa and The Headshrinkers, who are psyching themselves up for the Royal Rumble Match.

Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka, Rick Steiner will take on Ludvig Borga, Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and there will also be a 30-man New York City Rumble. We hear from Jarrett, who is not concerned about being the underdog against Razor Ramon. He says Razor's undefeated streak in Madison Square Garden will come to an end, and he will find out he is all about. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says there is no way to forget what Jarrett has said about him, as people are asking him to "give Jeff Jarrett one for them." He says big trouble is coming to Jarrett, and tells him to get ready for Monday night.

Nicole Froton is the honorary guest ring announcer for the next match.

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.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden for this Monday night with a triple main event. It is announced that The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey), Scott Putski, Ivan Putski, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Crush will all be in the 30-man New York City Rumble. 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!

Okerlund smells friction between Bigelow and Adam Bomb, but Johnny Polo insists there is no animosity and that he and Luna Vachon have devised a strategy to take the tag team titles from The Steiners. Luna says that if there is any problems, it is that she only wants to stand by Bam Bam Bigelow, the most dominant man in the World Wrestling Federation. She says that Bigelow wants to get together with Adam Bomb to face The Steiners.

We see a music video for "Speaking From The Heat" from WrestleMania: The Album featuring "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The 1-2-3 Kid and Shawn Michaels (with Diesel) for Face To Face. The 1-2-3 Kid calls a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and although he is nervous, it is an honor to step into the ring with Shawn Michaels. Shawn says he can understand why The Kid is nervous, as he will be wrestling the greatest to grace a World Wrestling Federation wrestling ring. Shawn says guys like Razor Ramon and Ted DiBiase treated The Kid like a push-over, but he says there are no push-overs in the WWF and that The 1-2-3 Kid is willing to do anything to get to the top. He likes that, as it reminds him of himself, and if he gets in the ring with him, his streak will be over. Diesel says with his size, he has the advantage of being able to attack, then respond. If Mr. Perfect wants a piece of him, he will put him down. (The match in question is taking place in Madison Square Garden in New York on September 25th.)

It's time for another edition of The King's Court.

He says it won't be long before he returns and his supporters will be happy. He says his supporters are also concerned that his self-appointed royal court jester Doink did not take care of and protect him from Bret "Hit Man" Hart as he promised, and that Doink is upset due to the names he called him on the last edition of The King's Court, then proceeds to call Doink "an imbecilic idiot" because he did not live up to his word. He says Doink is a court jester, and a poor one, and tells him to stay in his place. He then warns Bret, saying his leg is almost healed and that he has beaten him on crutches, saying he doesn't have to be at his best to beat him. He tells Bret to stay far away from him and not even be in the same city as he is, because if their paths cross, he will not be held responsible for what happens to him and that Bret will find out who is the one and only undisputed king of the World Wrestling Federation.

Next week: The 1-2-3 Kid! Shawn Michaels! Mr. Perfect! Ludvig Borga! Bret "Hit Man" Hart vs. Blake Beverly!

The 1-2-3 Kid beats The Brooklyn Brawler. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Irwin R. Schyster, who says that The 1-2-3 Kid may have been lucky against Razor Ramon and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, but he will beat The 1-2-3 Kid at SummerSlam

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a Madison Square Garden supercard with a triple main event on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, and Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The 1-2-3 Kid. Also, Mr. Perfect will take on Diesel, and Tatanka faces Irwin R. Schyster. Furthermore, Razor Ramon goes one-on-one with Mr. Hughes, and both of those men (with Mr. Hughes accompanied by Harvey Wippleman) are interviewed for Face To Face. Wippleman says he has more on his mind than the people will comprehend, as it is Mr. Hughes' debut at Madison Square Garden. He tells Razor Ramon this will be a big loss for him, as it will be a fight, not a wrestling match, and says that Razor Ramon is eating tacos and burritos compared to the collard greens, pork chops and black eyed peas that Mr. Hughes is eating. Harvey Wippleman also says that Mr. Hughes is getting ready for Razor Ramon, and that Mr. Hughes will bash Razor Ramon upside the head with The Undertaker's urn. Razor tells Wippleman to spread the word that he is coming back to the MSG: the Madison Square Garden, not the foot additive. He says it will be Mr. Hughes first time there, but he is undefeated there. He then says that when Mr. Hughes looks around, he will find out that the Garden will be full of bad guys. Mr. Hughes says Razor will go down to the sidewalk slam. Razor tells Mr. Hughes "Don't sing it, bring it."

Before the next match, "Doctor" Tom Pritchard calls Jim Cornette "the shining light of Smoky Mountain Wrestling."

The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey) beat Tony Roy and Jason Headings. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Scott says SummerSlam is for all the marbles, and Rick says the crowd know he and Scott like some fresh meat.

On the SummerSlam Report, it is announced that American recording artist Aaron Neville will be singing the American national anthem at the beginning of the show. We then hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that "The King" Jerry Lawler must have underestimated him and must not have followed what he is capable of. Lawler beat him up from behind after becoming the King of the Ring like a dog and attacked his brother, "The Rocket" Owen Hart. He can never forget what he did to Owen, but the worst thing he could have done was involve his family in all of this, saying it is a line Lawler should never have crossed. He says he does not involve his family in his personal affairs, but if Lawler wants to do that, that's fine, because at SummerSlam he will execute him like the kings of old and chop his head off, and it will be the last anyone hears of Lawler. We then hear from Harey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales. Wippleman says all his dreams will come true at SummerSlam, as The Undertaker will leave the WWF in humiliation when he cannot beat Giant Gonzales. Gonzales says The Undertaker will be the one resting in peace. Wippleman hopes The Undertaker heard that, as Giant Gonzales is speaking the truth. We then hear from Razor Ramon, who says "The Million Dollar Man" Razor Ramon that he is so upset at losing to The 1-2-3 Kid that he will make him pay, and is DiBiase wants him, he's got him at SummerSlam. He says everyone will be watching, and says money won't save DiBiase.

We see the music video for "I'll Be Your Hero" starring Lex Luger.

Ludvig Borga beats Virgil, then removes Virgil's red, white and blue wristbands before bashing the fans, saying they have no choice but to live in America because they don't speak any other languages like he can. He tells the fans to take that and stick it, then shoves Virgil's wristbands into Virgil's mouth.

The Undertaker is seen in a graveyard. He says that at SummerSlam, Giant Gonzales will begin a journey into the shadow of death from which there is no return from the dark side. As he begins to lay Giant Gonzales' carcass into the hollowed earth, only then will he know the meaning of "rest in peace."

Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Shawn Michaels, who is accompanied by Diesel. Shawn says that for the people who think perfection cannot be beaten, nothing is better than modern technology, and that is him. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler gets on the Magistrator and draws a diesel truck behind Perfect, saying Diesel will run Mr. Perfect like roadkill at SummerSlam.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises the show for Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, September 25th at 8 PM. Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will take on Well Dunn (Timothy Well and Steve Dunn). Okerlund then interviews the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and the tandem of Luna Vachon and Johnny Polo, representing Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb, respectively. Scott Steiner says he loves wrestling in Madison Square Garden, and even though Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have never wrestled as a team, it will be a great fight and The Steiners will show why they are the tag team champions. Rick says the bomb will be fizzled and it will be a big bomb. Luna tells The Steiners that what they see before them now is a part of what is their unforeseen contingency, as Adam Bomb are Bam Bam are unbeatable, unbreakable, unpinnable and unsuplexable. Johnny Polo says Adam Bomb is devising a counter to the Frankensteiner, and while The Steiners are the tag team champions, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow have studied their moves while The Steiners have never seen Bam Bam and Adam Bomb as a team and therefore have no idea what they are capable of when together. The Steiner Brothers dare Luna and Johnny Polo to "bring 'em down."

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Reno Riggins and Barry Hardy. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Tatanka, who says he will take revenge on Bam Bam Bigelow as The Smoking Gunns take care of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu).

"Mean" Gene Oklerund interviews Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette in the ring. Cornette says the red, white and blue wristbands will be collector's items at SummerSlam, as they will be a call to hospital instead of a call to action. He says Lex Luger will have to be scraped up off the ground before being brought to a place where he can be brought back together. He then mentions the elbow pad stipulation, and says Lex Luger always wants an advantage, unlike Yokozuna and the Japanese people, whom he calls the most noble and honorable people and nation on the face of the planet due to having the intelligence and the guts to fight to the death for what they want. He then says Yokozuna is not just a man, but a 568-lb. monster who has stretchered off men like Crush, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Kamala and Hulk Hogan. After saying that Hulkamania is dead and buried six fett under at Yokozuna's hands, Cornette says that Luger will not be able to handle Yokozuna. All of a sudden, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up, gets in the ring and tells Yokozuna may be entering the ring at SummerSlam with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette as the WWF Champion with the support of a few of his countrymen, but Lex Luger will be entering the ring with the admiration of millions of fans who have enlisted in the Call To Action Campaign, the hopes and dreams of people who dare to excel and reach out for that brass ring, and the support and respect of every WWF Superstar including himself. Most importantly, Luger will be leaving SummerSlam will the WWF Championship. Savage then starts a "USA" chant. Suddenly, numerous WWF Superstars come out from the crowd and arrive at ringside to show support for Luger. Yokozuna is seen covering his ears to drown out the patriotic music as the show ends.

Also on that night, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Yokozuna for the WWF Championship in a return Lumberjack Match. Okerlund interviews Duggan, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. 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.

Bastion Booger beats Virgil in a Superstars rematch.

We see another vignette for Men on a Mission (Osar, Mabel, Mo).

Boni Blackwell interviews Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow says everyone knows he is not only the biggest, the meanest or the strongest, but the best wrestler in the WWF today. He says that there is one thing people don't know, and that there is another side of him. He says he has a heart, and that every man in the world has their heart. 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." Luna Vachon shows up, and the crowd chants "Luna-tick" after Boni Blackwell calls her one. Bam Bam says only he calls her the "tick," Luna has a body that any model would die for, a mind of Einstein, and the guts and what it takes to get the job done. Luna takes offense to the "lunatic" nickname, and says Boni is standing too close to her man. She tells Luna to take a close look at Bam Bam, and says "Arnold Schwarzenegger, eat your heart out!" before telling Mel Gibson to get out of the way before saying Bam Bam is on fire and that he makes her hot.

We see another one-screen advertisement for The Stars and Stripes Challenge.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Reno Riggins and Scott Taylor. During the match, it is announced that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships last Monday night in Columbus, Ohio only to lose them back to Money Inc. a few days later in Rockford, Illinois. Also during this match, the Stars and Stripes Challenge at the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York City is announced. Children under 7 get in free, children from 7 to 12 are $4 and adults are $7. Also included in this price is admission to the U.S.S. Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum.

Virgil beats the debuting Bastion Booger. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler use the Magistrator to joke that Bastion Booger is related to "Macho Man" Randy Savage, much to Savage's ire (which in turn becomes a running gag for months).

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, New Jersey on Tuesday night, June 29th. "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Luna Vachon, Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo will all be there. He then advertises a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Sunday night, June 27th. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Yokozuna will square off in a return Lumberjack Match - now for the WWF Championship - while Sensational Sherri will lock up with Luna Vachon. Also on that night, Mr. Hughes will face Bob Backlund. Okerlund then interviews Mr. Hughes and Harvey Wippleman for Face To Face. Wippleman says Backlund made the biggest mistake of his life signing for a match with Mr. Hughes, and hopes all the rotten Yankees come to see him as it will be the last time they do, for Mr. Hughes will sidewalk slam Backlund out of the WWF. Mr. Hughes says he will take the pride of Backlund much like he took the pride of The Undertaker. We also hear from Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster), who will be facing The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) that night. Schyster says it is obvious to them that the Steiners are as stupid as they look, and if they think they can walk in and take the tag team titles from them, that proves how stupid they are. He goes on to say that the "M" on their jackets stands for "moron." DiBiase says they will not underestimate The Steiners, as they have beaten everyone they have crossed path with, but says The Steiner Brothers have yet to cross paths with them.

Tatanka beats Mike Davis.

It is announced that The 1-2-3 Kid has accepted Razor Ramon's challenge to a match for $10,000, and that the match will take place next Monday night on Raw.

Mr. Hughes says the urn is where The Undertaker's power lies, and he is the only one who ever took it.

Crush beats Joey Tempest with the Cranium Crusher. Before the end of the match, it is announced that Bastion Booger has received a rematch against Virgil on next week's Superstars.

We see a vignette for Men on a Mission (Mabel, Mo, Oscar).

He then re-announces the show at June 27th show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will have a rematch against Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, Crush meets Doink in a return bout, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will be meeting Yokozuna in a return Lumberjack Match for the WWF Championship. We hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Fuji tells Duggan he has a great opportunity in the Nassau Coliseum to win the WWF Championship in a Lumberjack Match, and Duggan cannot run away. He says that there is no way Yokozuna will run away, and no way Duggan will get Yokozuna over the top rope. He also interviews Sensational Sherri and Luna Vachon, who will go at it that night. Luna says she is the most dominant force in the WWF and the queen of the ring, and she will eliminate Sensational Sherri. Sherri tells Luna that they have done all they can in anout of the ring, and dares her to get in the ring with her as she has nothing to lose now and wants to see what Luna is made of.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 15, 1993

Harvey Wippleman says Tatanka has been undefeated since he came to the World Wrestling Federation, but that will all come to a screeching halt, as he is minutes away from facing defeat at the hands of Giant Gonzales. Tatanka says Giant Gonzales will find why "The Native American" fears no man.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Mark Ming and Jim Armstrong. During the match, it is announced that the WWF Posters Six, featuring a poster of The Steiner Brothers, is now available.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 17th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Bret "The Hit Man" will face Bam Bam Bigelow, Kamala will face Yokozuna, and Mr. Perfect and a host of other WWF Superstars will be there. Okerlund also advertises a show for the Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, June 12th, where Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon, The Undertaker squares off with Giant Gonzales, and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger faces Mr. Perfect. Okerlund interviews Mr. Perfect for Face To Face, and says he knows about the metal plate in his forearm and will continue to challenge him. He says that Luger will not be able to blindside him or beat him in the ring, and tells Luger he is looking at the ultimate wrestler who will not only teach him a wrestling lesson, but maybe even use his metal plate in his forearm against him. Also as part of Face To Face, Okerlund also interviews Shawn and Razor. Shawn says they are not going to mess up their own faces, and Razor says there will be a lot of girls there. Razor tells Shawn to go take the fat ones, as he always gets the fat ones.

Mr. Hughes beats Bobby Young. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Reverend Slick, who says that he has always prided himself in his ability to recognize raw talent, and says there is so much about Mr. Hughes that he likes. He says that Mr. Hughes is going in the wrong direction, and wants to help him channel those energies into a positive light.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) say there is nothing like a scrap to get a man's attention, and they plan to head to the WWF for some tag team excitement.

Bob Backlund beats Terry Zeller.

Boni Blackstone interviews "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Blackstone focuses on Luger's forearm, and mentions the metal plate, and Luger says that nothing more has to be said on the fairness of him competing with the plate in his forearm. As for referees and officials wanting him to use a protective padding on it, he says that nobody should be stirring anything that shouldn't be stirred up, and that the WWF's decision is final. As for the fans demanding that the plate be covered up, Lex Luger goes up and says he doesn't care what anybody thinks and that nobody tells him what he can or cannot do, as he is going to the top of the World Wrestling Federation, and that he will knock out ans step on anyone who gets in his way, plate or no plate, including Bret "Hit Man" Hart, for he will become the man in the WWF and he does not care who he has to knock out to do it.

Virgil beats Jose Martinez.

Shawn Michaels beats Billy Jones. During the match, Shawn Michaels comically sits next to ring announcer Mike McGuirk with his arm across her shoulders for a few seconds.

On the King of the Ring Report, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan, who says that as he puts his ears down to the sands, he hears the fear in Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna's walk as they strut through Japan, as they realize that he has had it with Hollywood and is returning to the ring, and he is going to prove that winning the WWF Championship was no fluke and that Hulkamania will live forever. Hogan says that he has been on the brink of disaster, drinking his own sweat waiting for WWF President Jack Tunney's decision whether or not to strip him of the title, and even if Tunney stripped him of the title, he would rip it right back off Yokozuna's waist. It is then announced that Bret Hart will be facing Razor Ramon first in the King of the Ring. Razor Ramon says that Bret is a loser, while he is on a roll. He has carved up one opponent, and Bret will be next. We find out that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Bam Bam Bigelow in the tournament, then hear from "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, who is also in the tournament. Luger says that now that he has qualified for the tournament, the winner is just a foregone conclusion; however, he will not ruin the suspense, as they have trouble finding him an opponent, who will face a sound, humiliating defeat just like all the rest. This week on Wrestling Challenge, Doink and Mr. Perfect will have a re-match for a slot in the tournament, while here on Superstars, Tatanka will face Giant Gonzales for a slot.

Tatanka beast Giant Gonzales by disqualification and qualify for the King of the Ring tournament after Gonzales shoves the referee down. Gonzales then proceeds to choke out Tatanka, then chases another referee out of the ring.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund 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 Crush will face Doink, "Macho Man" goes up against Giant Gonzales and 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 special guest referee. We hear from Hogan and Brutus. Brutus says that he is not worried about Money Inc., as Sgt. Slaughter can toss both of them out with one hand and because The Mega Maniacs are the better team. The only thing he is worried about is what kind of haircut he will give Sgt. Slaughter if he gives up. Hogan says they might as well give him a Hulk Hogan haircut, and says that now that he has the WWF Championship, he is worried about how "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart will be able to hold three belts. He then tells Money Inc. to get ready to file bankruptcy, as they have seized Hart and they will seize all their assets. We then hear from Money Inc. as part of Face To Face. I.R.S. takes the time to make a formal apology to Sgt. Slaughter, and asks that Sgt. Slaughter call the match down the middle, as they take good care of their friends. DiBiase, on the other hand, feels the match should not even be taking place, as The Mega Maniacs got disqualified at WrestleMania 9.

Next week: The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) debut! Bam Bam Bigelow! "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Adam Bomb debuts! Crush vs. Shawn Michaels in a King of the Ring qualifying match!

Shawn Michaels says that next week, there will be a non-title match between him and Crush to see who qualifies for the King of the Ring tournament. He says that since he is WWF Intercontinental Champion, he does not have to qualify, as he is already the king. He says that Crush will soon find out that being big does not make you good; instead, being good makes you good. Crush tells Shawn that he keeps telling everyone about how good he is, and says he is good for nothing. He may have him in a non-title match, but this match is important and dictate who goes on to the tournament. He will crush Shawn and prove that he is both big and good.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 1, 1993

Raymond Rougeau interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Paul Bearer says that not only is The Undertaker unstoppable, but that he is the most powerful entity in the World Wrestling Federation as well as the face of the earth. He says that The Undertaker is heading for Giant Gonzales. The Undertaker tells Giant Gonzales he has grown tired of his futile attempts at destroying what cannot be destroyed, and not only will he draw power from the souls of the deceased, he will draw power from the souls of the living. He has met Giant Gonzales in his element; now Giant Gonzales must meet him in his and enter the world of the dark side, where only he can survive and Giant Gonzales will be made to suffer. He tells Giant Gonzales to rest in peace.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Scott Bazo and Bob Young.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. 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 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). It is announced that Sgt. Slaughter will be the special guest referee for the match to keep it under control. We then see an interview with The Mega Maniacs from Okerlund. Hulk says he feels like a multi-million dollar man since WrestleMania 9, but it's really just the five-time WWF Champion in disguise. He says Money Inc. has been bankrolled and their assets seized once, but their biggest treasure was "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, who is now managing The Mega Maniacs. Now that Hart is on their side and they have the WWF Championship, they are going for the tag titles again. Brutus says the titanium steel plates will tell the real story, and that this time, Money Inc. will be the ones getting split instead of a split decision.

We see a vignette for The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who say they've heard about nothing but trouble in the tag team division. They then shoot bottles and cans with their pistols, and with nothing like a little scrap to get a man's attention, they are heading to the WWF and look for some tag team excitement. They then shoot more bottles. When the smoke clears, they will go down...1...2...3.

virgil beats The White Shadow.

On the King of the Ring Report - a report for King of the Ring, a new WWF event coming to pay-per-view on June 13th - there will be a single-elimination eight-man tournament. Bracketing through means of qualifying matches will start this week. Superstars involved include Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who is seeded #1 by WWF President Jack Tunney. We then hear from Bret, who says he is gathering his thoughts to return to the top, and taking his fans with him as he becomes King of the Ring. He is now in the #1 seed, and he feels sorry for whoever gets in the ring with him. Okerlund also announces that the WWF Championship will be on the line when Hulk Hogan defends the title against Yokozuna. We hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji is not happy his appeal was overruled, and at King of the Ring, Hogan will lose the built as quickly as he won it, as Yokozuna will be fresh this time around unlike at WrestleMania 9. We then hear from Hulk Hogan, who was on the set of Thunder In Paradise in Clearwater, Florida in a pre-recorded interview with Okerlund. Hogan says he is only in Hollywood is simply because it was a prior commitment, and he plans to hang on to the WWF Championship. He says that the ring crew had better have the ring reinforced, for when he gets Yokozuna in the air, he will press him over his head, show him off to the Hulkamaniacs in the arena, and when Yokozuna splits the ring in half, he will go down for a second time. As for Mr. Fuji or anyone else who messes with him or anyone on his side, he is messing with family, which he regards more than life. At King of the Ring, Yokozuna will have a date with disaster, and he will get a haircut and look like Mr. Fuji thanks to Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. It is then announced that Bob Backlund and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will face each other for a seed on Wrestling Challenge, and Doink and Mr. Perfect will go at it for a slot here on Superstars this week.

Doink vs. Mr. Perfect wrestle to a time limit draw, and neither man qualifies for the King of the Ring Tournament. During the match, we are supposed to hear pre-recorded comments from Crush, but we get Doink instead, who suddenly pops up on the screen, says that it is an illusion, then disappears just as instantly.

We hear from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says he had the last laugh last week when he attacked Tatanka backstage and cut his hair. Tatanka says his red hair, which symbolizes his people, is sacred, and when Bam Bam Bigelow desecrated his heritage, it started a fire that will burn until he gets his revenge.

Typhoon beats Larry Ludden.

"The Narcissist" Lex Luger vs. Terry Zeller ends before it begins when Luger knocks Zeller out with a running forearm for standing in front of his mirror. During the match, it is announced that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship next week on Raw.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Tonight at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York - with kids 12 and under getting in for $2 less - Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect. We hear from Mr. Perfect, who says that everywhere he goes, he hears about how Shawn jumped him from behind and treated him like a piece of garbage. Mr. Perfect says he is not a piece of garbage, and that Shawn is. He says Shawn's problem is that he is walking around like he is the king of the ring, but he is a two-time Intercontinental Champion and he knows what it takes to hold the title. He says Shawn has great assets, but he is Mr. Perfect, and that Shawn is about to get what is coming to him. Also on the Nassau Coliseum card, Bret "Hit Man" Hart faces "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. We then hear from Luger, who asks if it is unfair that he is genetically superior while everyone else is genetically shortchanged, if is it fair that he has a steel plate implanted in his forearm after a motorcycle accident that WWF President 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, and says he will write the final chapter of Bret's career the next time they meet in the ring. Also on the Nassau card: Bob Backlund faces Blake Beverly, Kamala faces Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers face an unknown opponent, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan takes on Yokozuna.

Next week: The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) and Kamala vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Mr. Hughes! "El Matador" Tito Santana vs. Razor Ramon in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament!

Razor Ramon tells "El Matador" Tito Santana that next week to bring it, don't sing it, next week. Santana tells Razor Ramon that when the bell sounds, this Mexican will be coming at him and he intends to put it to him.

The hit list is part of his plan to get back to the top of the World Wrestling Federation.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 3, 1993

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage start the show outside of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, the site of WrestleMania 9. It is announced that "The Narcissist" Lex Luger may be here later.

Mr. Perfect beats Dwayne Gill.

"The Narcissist" Lex Luger joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage outside of Caesars Palace. He says the reflective pool and its fountains behind them are very appropriate, as Mr. Perfect will be reflecting on his career - which will no longer be perfect - when he beats him at WrestleMania 9 and Mr. Perfect realizes he has finally met his match.

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the "fountain of the gods" inside Caesars Palace. Savage immediately looks for the gift shop.

We see "Mean" Gene Okerlund interview The Mega-Maniacs (Hulk Hogan, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Jimmy Hart). Hogan says that everyone knows that the eagle is flying slowly and the flag is hanging low, but when you train, say your prayers, take your vitamins, believe in yourself and believe in him, that means you believe in the youth of America and in Hulkamania, and he cannot think of a better time that this Sunday for America to "do a 360" turn it around against Money, Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) for the tag team titles, so he can tell President Bill Clinton to sleep easy after Sunday. He says The Mega-Maniacs will bankrupt Money Inc. and seize all their assets before throwing them in a semi-trailer, dragging it from New York City to Las Vegas to Los Angeles while Jimmy Hart throws all the money out to ease the national deficit. Hart says he will line up all the major tag teams in the WWF, and there is no doubt in his mind that The Mega-Maniacs will wipe the floor with Money, Inc. before starting their world tour. Brutus tells Hart not to worry about him holding up his end of the bargain, as he is the detail man. When he climbs up to the top of Caesars Palace, he hopes the light bounces off the tag team belts at exactly the right angle so the light can go back to Venice Beach, California back to New York City so all the Hulkamaniacs will know that they are on the money. He then mentions the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," and says they should feed Money, Inc.'s carcasses to the lions. Hulk says "the lions" are the hungry Hulkamaniacs who cannot wait for The Mega-Maniacs to take over the WWF and run roughshod, and that Money Inc. will just be a small snack for them. He then tells everyone not to worry about Brutus' face, as he and Jimmy Hart put his face through "the Hulkamania stress test" by breaking down the Brooklyn Bridge, breaking "the coconuts" on a bull elephant, and finishing knocking down what was left of the Twin Towers, and he couldn't break Brutus' face, which he put through every test known to man, including hitting it with a metal briefcase, which he does. (Thankfully, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is wearing a mask over his face.) He then asks "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?"

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Glenn Ruth.

Vince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler interview Shawn Michaels (who is sitting in a chair above Vince and Lawler), who says that when you are the Intercontinental Champion and the sexist man alive, it only makes sense to sunbathe head and shoulders above the rest. He says that Tatanka has a loot in common with "the rest of the losers who come to Las Vegas," as they rely on luck while he relies on skill. He says that nobody who is anybody knows luck eventually runs out. Shawn says he is concerned about one thing: walking into WrestleMania with a tan line. Shawn then unbuttons his shirt to reveal the Intercontinental title underneath.

Tatanka beats Barry Hardy.

Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Rawat the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York on Monday, April 26th, and that tickets are going fast. After Sean Mooney reminds everyone to set their clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Savings Time (which happens tomorrow), we hear from Slick, who is accompanied by Kamala. Slick says that on Sunday, Bam Bam Bigelow, "The Beast From The East," will become Kamala's feast. Slick says Bam Bam has run his mouth from time to time and has not acted like a gentleman or a good sportsman, and that Kamala knows how to deal with him.

Bince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler meet back up with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who shows up with a gift bag.

Doink beats Dale Wolfe with the Stump Puller. After the match, Doink opens the gift box he came into the ring with, pulls out a pie, and smacks it right into Dale Wolfe's face.

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are near the casino as they mention the feud between The Undertaker and Giant Gonzales. Lawler says The Undertaker is just like the rest of the people in Caesars Palace, as the odds are against him and that Giant Gonzales will squeeze his neck until his eyes pop out. When then see the first meeting between the two of them at Royal Rumble.

Harvey Wippleman joins Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and brings out Giant Gonzales, who is in a suit and tie as Wippleman says Giant Gonzales will destroy The Undertaker once and for all. iant Gonzales tells The Undertaker that he has just rolled snake eyes.

Giant Gonzales beats Virgil, then choke slams him after the match and continues to choke Virgil out. Referees have to pull Giant Gonzales off of Virgil, and Gonzales scares them off.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat two unnamed opponents.

Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Rawat the Manhattan Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York on Monday, April 26th again before reminding everyone about Daylight Savings Time. We then hear from Afa and The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), who are reading WWF Magazine. Afa says The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will know what they are all about and to come to fight at WrestleMania as Samu and Fatu tear up a picture of The Steiner Brothers in the magazine. They then eat the two halves of the picture before punching each other, and Afa eats the magazine.

Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are in front of the Festival Fountain as a storm is about to happen. Lawler says Bret "Hit Man" Hart's WWF Championship reign is about to come to an end, and Savage thinks the statue of Baccus on the fountain is about to come alive.

The storm has passed, but the fun is just beginning at Caesars Palace. Vince McMahon, "The King" Jerry Lawler and "Macho Man" Randy Savage remind everyone to watch WrestleMania 9 on pay-per-view. They are then joined by Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that having 550 pounds of Yokozuna on him was like having a bulldozer on him before backing up and staying there. He says Yokozuna will find out he is the excellence of execution, and that he will not be trapped in the corner like he was at the recent contract signing again. He says he is sore, and has been a little sore before. Savage tells Bret he is against all odds in his match against Yokozuna, but the fans - and Savage himself - are behind him, and now he will beat Yokozuna at WrestleMania 9 and retain the WWF Championship.

We then see a video package of Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna set to the tune of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" to close out the show.

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.

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.

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

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.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 23, 1992

The Undertaker beats Bill Pierce. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Mr. Fuji and The Berserker. Mr. Fuji says that he and The Berserker will put The Undertaker six feet under, and The Berserker says he will kick The Undertaker's teeth in, shove him in a coffin and put him back in a grave where he belongs.

We hear from Papa Shango, who tells The Ultimate Warrior that he has the final possession to complete his curse on him; he owns his spirit, which means he owns Warrior.

Virgil beats Dwayne Gill with a sleeper hold.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says he thinks all the tax cheats who filed for an extension need to know that cheating on their taxes is highly illegal.

Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) beat Mark Kay and Jim Powers.

We hear from High Energy. Koko says they are still on the move and on a natural high that the kids love them. Owen says there is so much electricity that he can feel a spark, and any team that gets in the ring with them is in for a shock on their way to the top. We also hear from "The Model" Rick Martel, who says he is so hot, he sizzles. He says he is in demand everywhere, for he is a trendsetter. He says that everyone is wearing Tatanka's feathers because everyone wants to look like "The Model," and he warns Tatanka not to mess around with him, as more than the feathers might be missing on him next time.

The British Bulldog beats Barry Hardy. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Repo Man, who says dogs have ruined his business, but The British Bulldog will not, for he has a choke collar for him and he knows how to take the bite out of a dog.

We hear from "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect, who are outside with a woman for a picnic. Flair says some people take life way too seriously, but not him and Perfect. For them, life is a picnic, and they enjoy the best of what life has to offer every single day. However, there is only one problem: Miss Elizabeth won't leave Flair alone, calling his telephone, sending him telegrams and knocking on his door. Flair says Elizabeth is permanently on the outside looking in. Perfect says it's springtime and asks Flair to cut Elizabeth some slack, but Flair says they are booked and Elizabeth is out. Flair says he understands Miss Elizabeth's frustration, but there is no coming back, even with the messages left on the answering machine, which Perfect plays on the nearby boombox. Perfect says "Macho Man" Randy Savage bought the cow, but Flair got the milk for free, and Flair tells Elizabeth that while she may not be coming back, the WWF Championship is.

We hear from Crush, who says that he strives to be - and plans to be - number one in the World Wrestling Federation. He knows he has a big mountain to climb, but he will crush anybody who gets in his way. He also warns the bullies and garbage in the World Wrestling Federation that at 6'7" and 320 pounds, he can be anybody's worst nightmare. We also hear from The Genius and the Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly), who boast about their undefeated streak while they mock The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Paul Ellering for using dirty tricks against them as they stay on top for a long time.

The Mountie beats Bobby Knight. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Sgt. Slaughter, who salutes all the brave men and women who died protecting the United States of America before telling The Mountie that he is in the fight of his life for he will never surrender. After the match, The Mountie makes Bobby Knight beg for mercy with his shock stick, but Knight runs away as referee Tim White tries to get The Mountie away from Knight. The Mountie then demands his theme song be played, and he sings to it.

WWF Crunch Classic will be available this Thursday on Coliseum Home Video.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Ultimate Warrior on the stage. Warrior says he stands before his fans and Papa Shango to let them know that any weakness in his physcial condition has been turned into a greater strength, and asks how a force of Warriors such as the ones behind him that leave the entire world spellbound fall under a spell of Papa Shango's, and says that while he is not in control of his destiny, his Warriors stand behind him and are in control of such things. He says that his fans belive that the voodoo that Papa Shango possess is another challenged that must be stopped, conquered and survived. Suddenly, a greenish-black liquid drips from Warrior's head, and The Warrior leave.

The current issue of WBF Magazine - containing an article about the WBF and WWF's anti-steroid stance - will be on newsstands this coming Tuesday.

We hear from Shawn Michaels, who says he can remember a time when Bret "Hit Man" Hart was the premier poster boy of the WWF, when Hart had a youthful energy and could do no wrong. He tells Bret his days are behind him and that the future is bright for him, and says the WWF Intercontinental Championship will not be his for long, as he is rocking the WWF starting with Bret and the title will soon be coming to him. We also hear from The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon). Earthquake asks Jimmy Hart how he is sleeping at night knowing that they are on his tail and out to put a finish to all of his family members, and says that when they get done with Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase and Irwin R. Schyster), they will have the tag team gold again. Typhoon asks Money Inc. how it feels now that their whole world is falling down around them and there is nothing they can do about it.

Next week: The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon)! The Big Boss Man! The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk)! Papa Shango! An update on The Ultimate Warrior!
