Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for November 5, 1994

Tatanka beats Billy Gunn after "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase gets on the apron to distract the referee so that Bam Bam Bigelow can push Billy Gunn off the top rope. After the match, Tatanka and Bigelow take the boots to Billy Gunn, but Bart Gunn runs in to make the save, chasing Tatanka and Bigelow out of the ring in the process.

During the Survivor Series report, we hear from Bob Backlund, who says that all the politics are over and that he got what he wanted for the contract for his match against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart: a submission match. He tells Bret to remember that he has put many top wrestlers in the crossface chicken and that nobody - including Bret himself - has been able to get out of it. "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, who is there with him, says his corner will not throw the towel, but Hart's corner will when Bret is put in the crossface chicken wing and forced to submit. We then hear from Bret, who says being the WWF Champion is all about confidence, and he is confident. He knows this is a match between generations and that he will not let his generation down, as there is no way for Backlund to get him in the crossface chicken wing. He tells Backlund that he will be the one watching his back as he is the one with Owen Hart in his corner. The British Bulldog says his towel is not going to be leaving his hands.

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese beats Barry Hardy. After the match, Bob Backlund sneaks into the ring and puts Barry Hardy in the crossface chicken wing, and lets go when Droese runs into the ring. When Droese checks on Barry Hardy, Backlund turns around and puts Droese in the hold, and referees have to pull Backlund off Droese.

We hear from Chuck Norris of Walker, Texas Ranger, who says he looks for the toughest opponents he can find, and there are none tougher than the WWF Superstars. He's at Survivor Series to see them get it on as he takes on a "special troubleshooting referee" role in the Casket Match between The Undertaker and Yokozuna.

Kelly Munson is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.

Diesel beats Tim McNeany.

"The King" Jerry Lawler gets sprayed at with silly string by Dink before the next match.

Doink beats Phil Apollo.

During the Survivor Series report, we hear from The Bad Guys (Razor Ramon, The 1-2-3 Kid, Fatu, Sione, The British Bulldog). Captain Lou Albano says that he will be managing the greatest five-man combination in the world today at Survivor Series. Razor tells "Double J" Jeff Jarrett that he has a good team, but they are better. The 1-2-3 Kid says he and Razor brought it home last year, and with the toughest guys in the World Wrestling Federation, they plan on doing it again this year. The British Bulldog says he and the entire team are here to survive. We then hear from Jim Cornette, who says that The Undertaker had a lot of horrible things happen to him and that nothing should worry him after that, but apparently, Yokozuna does, and that this is why Chuck Norris is the "special troubleshooting referee" for the Casket Match between The Undertaker and Yokozuna. He says Chuck Norris may be a bad dude, but so is Yokozuna. He tells Chuck Norris to do whatever he wants, but tells him to leave The Undertaker to face the music, as the curtain goes down for good on The Undertaker at Survivor Series and the casket is shut for good. We then hear from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Paul Bearer says Yokozuna has heard the news, and that Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette must be scared to death. The Undertaker tells Cornette and Mr. Fuji that they have led Yokozuna to the gates of the dark side once more, and this time, not even Chuck Norris will be able to save them.

We see Irwin R. Schyster in a graveyard, who says that even when you're dead, you still cannot cheat on your taxes and you still owe I.R.S. your fair share. He then has a headstone repossessed after the person lying below it cheated on his taxes by writing off his daughter's birthday party as a business expenses, which only scratched the surface on "John Dough's" pre-death taxes.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says he repossessed a tombstone, but the fans can rest assured he is not through digging yet.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Aaron Ferguson.

We hear from The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). Bart says Billy was doing well until Bam Bam Bigelow interfered. Next week, they will have Bigelow and Tatanka in a tag team match. Billy says Bigelow stuck his nose where it did not belong, and next week, they will invite Bigelow and Tatanka to their first Texas round-up.

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

Razor Ramon beats Red Tyler.

We see a video package for The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) vs. Shawn Michaels and Diesel for the WWF Tag Team Championships, then hear from Shawn and Diesel. Shawn says there may be dissension between him and Diesel, but he says the other teams could use that dissension as they are still the tag team to beat in the WWF. Diesel says they are the finest tag team in WWF history.

Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz beats Ron Cumberledge.

We see a video package about Bob Backlund, his first tenure in the WWF, his match with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in July and the aftermath. We then hear from Backlund, who says that the people have had a negative effect on the Japanese people, and that Americans forget that there are people in other countries who want to follow in their footsteps. He warns Japanese to stay strong and not follow in the ways of the United States.

Mabel does the rap intro by himself this week while on the way to the ring for the next match.

Mabel beats George Anderson. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a skunk over Mabel's head on the Magistrator.

King Kong Bundy is coming back to the World Wrestling Federation next week.

Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart beats Ike Andrews by submission. After the match, Neidhart and "The King of Harts" Owen Hart torture Ike Anderson with the camel clutch and the Bret "The Hit Man" Hart-style mirrored sunglasses.

We hear from Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Paul Bearer tells Yokozuna that he has released the power of the urn, and that the essence of The Undertaker has now been recaptured and Yokozuna will pay. The Undertaker says Yokozuna might like the viewpoint of being in a coffin, for the next time he looks into the coldness of his eyes, he will be looking up from a casket. He tells Yokozuna to get ready to meet his wrath and to rest in peace.

Tombstoned: The Undertaker's Greatest Matches will be available on newsstands this Tuesday.

Tyler Mariucci of Green Bay, Wisconsin is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.

The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke) beat Rock Warner and Tom Stone.

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Duke "The Dumpster" Droese: next week on Superstars!

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says he hopes the tax cheat realize that September 15 was the deadline for quarterly tax payments, and that it is time to put the check in the mail.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Gary Jackson.

Vince McMahon interviews Lex Luger in the middle of the crowd. Luger says that all he could do was deny allegations and refuses offers made to him by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase in order to prove that he had never sold out to him, and he hopes Tatanka goes to the bank each and every day and sees the faces of the fans who believed in him and saw him as a role model that he sold out on when he looks down at his money, as money cannot buy happinness, wins or success in the World Wrestling Federation. He also says that when Tatanka steps in the ring with him, the buck stops here.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 27, 1994

The show starts with Vince McMahon interviewing Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in the ring. Bret says he never thought it would come to this, and that he remembers growing up in the Hart Dungeon with the rest of his brothers. He never thought he would be getting in the ring with his brother "The King of Harts" Owen Hart in a steel cage match, and while he admits Owen has come a long way, this is not the Hart Dungeon, this is no longer fun and this will be an ugly fight with a lot at stake. Bret knows that Owen wants the WWF Championship, but he says there is a lot of emotion, not just with them, but with the entire Hart family, and that this has to be done and this has to be settled once and for all. Bret then tells Owen that the best thing about a fifteen-foot-high steel cage is that Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart cannot get involved and neither can his family, as this match cannot be stopped. Bret then says it will be revealed who will become the WWF Champion, the true "King of Harts" and the best there is, was and ever will be.

When Bret "The Hit Man" Hart leaves, he is confronted by "The King of Harts" Owen Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Vince McMahon and numerous referees have to hold everyone back as Bret heads to the back.

Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart beats Frank Stalletto with the Camel Clutch. After the match, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews "The King of Harts" Owen Hart and Neidhart, and Owen tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart that he knows that he is terrified and that it will all come to an end between them at SummerSlam when he hurts, humiliates and beats Bret to become the WWF Champion. He says that Bret was right when he says this is no longer fun, and that there will be a new WWF Champion this Monday night.

Mabel beats Barry Horowitz.

On the SummerSlam Report, Tatanka says that everyone will learn that Lex Luger has sold out to "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and that Luger's match last Sunday against Crush on Sunday Night Slam is proof of that. Lex Luger says Tatanka is jumping to conclusions, and that he did not ask DiBiase to get involved in his match; however, if there is an opening, he will take it as a competitor. He then says Tatanka has accused him of a lot of his things, and now he has gotten more than he has bargained for after questioning his strength and integrity.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Duke "The Dumpster" Droese after using the ropes for leverage...almost. After the match, Oscar shows up and mentions that Jarrett put his feet on the ropes. Another referee then shows up and tells the first referee that both of Jarrett's feet were on the second rope, and the match is restarted. Jarrett responds by knocking Oscar off the apron with a cheap shot before trying to leave, but Mabel shows up before Jarrett can get to the back. Jarrett runs away from Mabel through the stands, and Duke "The Dumpster" Droese runs to the ring to beat "Double J" Jeff Jarrett by count-out.

T. Harris is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.

Razor Ramon beats Mike Collins.

In footage from earlier this week, we see another edition of The Heartbreak Hotel. Shawn Michaels addresses Razor Ramon and Walter Payton, saying he will run circles around them "like a ferret on a double expresso." He then brings out his next guests: "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and his Undertaker. DiBiase says he has produced something and put his money where his mouth is compared to Paul Bearer, whom DiBiase says has produced "hot air and cheap tricks." Shawn thinks Paul Bearer has a little trouble resurrecting courage after what happened on The King's Court, but DiBiase changes the subject by saying that at SummerSlam, his Undertaker will destroy whatever Bearer brings before destroying Bearer himself. Shawn then says that Bearer does not have the guts to confront them face to face, then the lights go in and out before Paul Bearer appears on the video wall. Bearer tells DiBiase to listen to him, as this Monday, his Undertaker will destroy DiBiase's Undertaker, as he has not only contacted his Undertaker, he has summoned him. The real Undertaker's voice is then heard around the arena, telling DiBiase that he vows to never rest in peace before demanding he bring his Undertaker to SummerSlam, so he can rise once again and destroy DiBiase's Undertaker once and for all.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 30, 1994

"The King" Jerry Lawler interviews Dink. Dink shows up with a hat on his head and a catcher's mitt and baseball in his hands, and Lawler keeps the microphone out of his hands as he proceeds to make fun of him. Suddenly, Doink shows up with a big red box in his hands, and inside the box is a pair of pies. Instead of pie facing Lawler, however, he pie faces Dink. Doink then sprays silly string into the crowd before spraying it at Dink, then pulls out whipped creams and gets it all over Dink as well. Dink falls off the interview platform, then Doink pulls off his wig and make-up to reveal that he is really "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett tells Doink that he would take matters into his own and hands and take control of the situation, and that is what he just did. He then says that if Doink wants to make a joke out of him, then he can be the best clown of them all. He then says that who laughs last, laughs best.

Mike Colb is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Jason Headings. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler makes fun of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's recent visit to the Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

We hear from Irwin R. Schyster, who tells us that all the little people have to pay their taxes, that people are dishonest are corrupt to the point that they are bad tax cheats, and that he will put the people's lazy kids to work and take their allowances if the people don't pay their taxes.

Tatanka vs. Kwang ends in a double count-out. During the match, Irwin R. Schyster shows up to tell Tatanka that he will pay the gift tax on his ceremonial headdress one way or another, and that he is no better than the rest of the tax cheats in the crowd. I.R.S. then puts his hands on the headdress, and Tatanka goes after him after tossing Kwang out of the ring. Referees and officials have to pull both men away from each other. Afterwards, I.R.S. tells Tatankka he just made the biggest mistake of his life and that he will pay the gift tax.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs. Thurman "Sparky" Plugg: next week on Superstars!

Albert Dilts is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Rich Myers and Jason Headings.

We hear from Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Jim Cornette calls Bret "Hit Man" Hart's WWF Championship win at WrestleMania 10 a grand heist, and that a miracle happened when he won it as it took every ounce of luck for Bret to take the title. He thinks special guest referee "Rowdy" Roddy Piper had something to do with Yokozuna slipping off the rope. Cornette says Bret has proven that miracles can happen, but tells him to enjoy the WWF Championship as he will not have it for long. We also hear from "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who says that if Cornette and Yokozuna hate losing, then there is nothing he can do about it. He also tells them not to ask for his opinion of them, because he may not give them the answer that they want him to. We then hear from Bret, who is proud to be WWF Champion once again. As far as his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, Owen beat him fair and square and there are no excuses as Owen was the better man in that one match. He then says that the WWF Championship is everything he says he is and the excellence of execution. We then hear from Owen, who says Bret was lucky but that Bret will need more than luck, as they will fight again for the WWF Championship and he will win.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats P.J. Walker with the Sharpshooter.

During WWF Live Event News, we see footage from WWF Fanfest.

Saturday, February 26, 1994

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for February 26, 1994

Razor Ramon beats The Black Phantom.

On Update, we hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that he has had a most difficult task set before him at WrestleMania 10, and that wrestling his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart is going to be hard to do. He says that Owen is a great wrestler and like a dog ready for the hunt, but when he steps in the ring with him, he will be in the ring with the best dog. He respects Lex Luger and what he said at last week's edition of The Funeral Parlor, and wishes him the best of luck against Yokozuna before reminding him that he will go down when he steps in the ring with him. We then hear from "The Rocket" Owen Hart, who says that Bret's confidence is a cover-up for fear, as they both know that he is the better Hart and that Bret has been keeping him down in his shadow. At WrestleMania 10, he will step out of his shadow and prove he is the better Hart brother. He tells Bret not to look past him for the World title match, as he will not get past him.

Tony Bueti is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat John Paul and Miguel Rosado. Before the match, Johnny Polo - who replaces Stan Lane on commentary this week - accompanies The Quebecers in a black bathrobe, a snorkel mask and swim flippers. Nikolai Volkoff is seen in the front of the crowd again. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Oscar, who tells The Quebecers that Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will beat them to become WWF Tag Team Champions.

We hear from Crush, who says that he has not been more prepared for anything in his life. He says the fans may be sick and tired of him interfering in "Macho Man" Randy Savage's business and that Savage may be sick and tired of seeing his face, but he is sick and tired of Savage, who he calls "a backstabbing snake." Crush says they will settle it once and for all at WrestleMania 10, and that Mr. Fuji has prepared him for the match. Mr. Fuji tells Savage he will pay from head to toe, and that there will be no mercy when Crush takes care of him once and for all. Crush says that he might take advantage of the rules of their Last Man Standing Match just to pin him in the ring again and again, as there is no room for the both of them in the WWF and it will be finished once and for all.

Thurman "Sparky" Plugg beats Derek Domino.

Raymond Rougeau interviews Shawn Michaels in the ring. As Shawn heads to the ring, he takes the ladder in the aisle and places it in the center of the ring. He talks about how he stood equal everyone until he was no longer happy with it and decided to step up and rise about everyone else by climbing the WWF ladder to sit on top. He says he will continue to sit on top of the WWF, and after all is said and done, he will be standing tall as the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 10. Shawn then goes on to say that his being declared the winner will be the last thing Razor Ramon sees as he is looking at the lights.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says it is about time that people stopped cheating on their taxes.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Phil Apollo.

This week on Raw: Yokozuna vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage!

During the WrestleMania 10 Report, it is announced that Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids On The Block will be appearing at the event. We then hear from Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Cornette says there is a word on everyone's lips in the WWF: confidence. He says WWF President Jack Tunney is confident that he made the right decision concerning the Royal Rumble Match as well as WrestleMania 10, that Bret "Hit Man" Hart is confident that he will beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship as well as straighten his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart out, and that Lex Luger is confident he will beat Bret. But he says that when you have confidence, you had better back it up, and only Yokozuna is able to back up his own confidence going into WrestleMania 10, as he has put people in the hospital, wreaked havoc and overcome every challenge despite all the obstacles in his path to retain the WWF Championship. He tells Luger to get confident, and says Bret will be focused on other things as he will be torn that he had to face his brother Owen on pay-per-view, which will make him unable to win it all at WrestleMania 10. We then hear from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says he is ready to go with Crush at WrestleMania 10. It is then announced that there will be a ten-man tag team match between the team of The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bar Gunn), Tatanka, The 1-2-3 Kid and Thurman "Sparky Plug" and the team of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Irwin R. Schyster, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and "The Model" Rick Martel at WrestleMania 10. (The match never happens due to time constraints, and is pushed back to the Raw after WrestleMania 10.)

Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Adam Bomb with the Sharpshooter. During the match, "The Rocket" Owen Hart is seen watching the match from across the aisle.

We hear from Johnny Polo and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre). Polo says The Quebecers are guaranteed victory at WrestleMania 10, and Jacques says September 13th was the beginning of a new legend when they won the tag team titles. Polo then mocks Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) through hip hop verse.

Next week: "Double J" Jeff Jarrett! The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke)! Diesel! The Funeral Parlor with special guest "The Rocket" Owen Hart! Lex Luger!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for February 19, 1994

"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats Marty Jannetty with the Sharpshooter.

We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says that WrestleMania 10 stands as the toughest moment of his career. He wishes Lex Luger all the luck in the world against Yokozuna, and hopes he will face him for the WWF Championship. If all else fails, he will have what it takes to get past Yokozuna and take the WWF Championship back. The big problem on his hands is the match with "The Rocket" Owen Hart, which he did not want, even though Owen brought it on. He does not want to air his thoughts about he feels about Owen, but says Owen is wrong and will pay for his mistake at WrestleMania, as they will go all the way against each other and Owen is going down.

Johnny Polo guests on commentary for the rest of the show.as Stan Lane switches over to Face To Face.

Kwang beats Scott Taylor.

We hear from Shawn Michaels, who goes over the rules of the Ladder Match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship: be the first to get the ladder into the ring and climb up to reach both the real title and his own version of the belt. He says that Razor Ramon will not be quick enough to do it, but he is, and that Razor cannot outwrestle him as he is so bazzled by him that it is driving him crazy and he has fallen right into his web. He plans to take the ladder down the aisle, bring it into the ring, climb up it and take both belts to become the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.

Little Richard advertises his appearance at WrestleMania 10.

Alundra Blayze retains the WWF Women's Championship against Heidi Lee Morgan.

On the WrestleMania 10 report, we hear from Crush, who says that he is "Macho Man" Randy Savage's worst nightmare and that he will end his career. Savage tells Crush his train of thought is backwards and that he is just getting started in the World Wrestling Federation. Greater men have tried to put him down, but none have succeeded, and he will take Crush everywhere around the building before he beats him. It is also made official that Earthquake will take on Ludvig Borga at WrestleMania 10 (which will not happen following an ankle injury by Borga), and that Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon will take on Doink and Dink in a tag team match at the event.

Next week on Superstars: Bret "Hit Man" Hart vs. Adam Bomb!

It's time for The Funeral Parlor. The set rises up from the stage as Paul Bearer asks the crowd if they can feel the spirit of The Undertaker as he says that he can feel his spirit all around. This week's special guest is Yokozuna, whom Paul Bearer says will be destined to face The Undertaker again in the future. Yokozuna shows up with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, and Cornette says he does not like it on the set and that he is getting out as fast as he ccan, as he is getting the same queasy feeling he always gets when The Undertaker is near and he is sick and tired of the "supernatural mumbo jumbo." Paul Bearer says he feels fear in the eyes of Cornette again, and asks if he thinks history will repeat itself at WrestleMania 10 as the odds are not in his favor due to Lex Luger winning the coin toss as the hand of Lady Luck waves. Cornette tells Bearer that the hand of Yokozuna is the hand that rules the WWF and the hand that will be raised in victory at WrestleMania 10, and says that the connection of WWF President Jack Tunney and Lex Luger has gone too far. He accuses Tunney of being corrupt, and says Lex Luger is a phony and a sham as he is crooked as Tunney. Suddenly, Luger shows up, and says it takes a lot of nerve for Cornette to call someone else crooked, and says that for him to insinuate that he or Jack Tunney have been doing anything behind the scenes is absurd, as Cornette is guilty of just that for the past six months in his attempts to keep him from the WWF Championship. He said that he would get another opportunity at the WWF Championship, and it has come at WrestleMania 10. When he gets Yokozuna in the ring, he is confident he will become WWF Champion, and it will be a privilege and honor to defend the title against Bret "Hit Man" Hart later that night. Cornette says it will be a relief, not an honor, since he will have beaten Yokozuna, but he will not have a prayer at getting in the ring with Bret as he has to beat Yokozuna first, which Cornette claims he will not do. Luger says Yokozuna may want to forget what he has done to him in the past, but he will not forget the feeling at WrestleMania 10 when he slams his "big, fat carcass" back to Tokyo, Japan and becomes the new WWF Champion.

Diesel beats Mike Moraldo. Before the match, Nikolai Volkoff is seen in the front row. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Razor Ramon, who says that at WrestleMania 10, it will just be him, Shawn and the ladder.

WWF Posters 9 is available now!

We hear from "The Rocket" Owen hart, who says he has no second thoughts about WrestleMania 10, as he has an opportunity to release the frustration that his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart has held down on him all of his life. He says that Bret does not want to wrestle him as he is scared that he is better than him, and that he will prove he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be as he has always known. He says Bret could have helped him, but Bret is too selfish, and he will pay.

Next week: Razor Ramon! The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre)!

We hear from Harvey Wippleman, who says that Bret "Hit Man" Hart has a lot on his mind concerning WrestleMania 10, but next week, he will step into the ring with Adam Bomb, and he may not make it to WrestleMania.

Saturday, February 12, 1994

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for February 12, 1994

Crush beats Jay Stryker with the Cranium Crusher.

During Update, "The Rocket" Owen Hart gives credit where credit is due to his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart, and says that if he beats Bret, it will make him better than Bret when he beats him at WrestleMania 10.

Sgt. Thompson is honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Brad Anderson. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says that Valentine's Day is coming soon and that he has a heart, and it belong to Luna Vachon. The moonsault that Bam Bam uses to finish off Brad Anderson ends up being his Valentine's Day gift for Luna.

We hear from Jim Cornette, who says that he and Mr. Fuji are thinking about WrestleMania 10, as both Lex Luger and Bret "Hit Man" Hart have to be taken seriously. He says both Luger and Bret are both going down. He mentions that Bret's match with his brother "The Rocket' Owen Hart will mess with Bret's emotions, and if he snaps Owen's legs, he will be at a disadvantage. For that, Luger is the guy to be more concerned with, as he can still finish Yokozuna off with the steel plate in his forearm and do whatever he has to do to win the WWF Championship from him. He says that the prophecy has come true before, and it will come true again at WrestleMania 10.

Next week on Superstars: "The Rocket" Owen Hart vs. Marty Jannetty!

We hear from Shawn, who says that their match is unprecedented and that there is none better to deliver in the match as he takes bac what is rightfully his. We then hear from Razor, who says that there is too much confusion and that somebody will decide at WrestleMania 10 and that somebody will leave the real champion. Also at WrestleMania 10, Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) take on The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and Alundra Blayze will defend the WWF Women's Championship against Debbie Combs.

We hear from Bret "Hit Man" Hart. He is preparing for WrestleMania 10 like he prepares for everything else. He is 100% physically and he is mentally sound, but emotionally, things are a little tougher. He wanted to avoid a physical confrontation with his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, whom he says is in his prime and can be a threat to anyone. He says he has not felt comfortable with the match, and while Owen is more aerial and he is more ground-based, he is confident he can get past Owen. He wants Lex Luger to beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but admits that match is too close to call. Nevertheless, he is prepared for anything at WrestleMania 10.

Next week: Earthquake returns! Alundra Blayze vs. Heidi Lee Morgan for the WWF Women's Championship! The Funeral Parlor returns!

He plans to take Savage all over the building and pin him wherever he wants before sending him to the WWF retirement home, where Crush says Savage should have went a long time ago. Mr. Fuji tells Savage that he will personally come with a beautiful canoe, load it with beautiful flowers, and send it into the canal with Savage in it to send him into Crush's hungry jars.

Earthquake is returning to the WWF...

This week on Raw: Irwin R. Schyster vs. Marty Jannetty!

On the WrestleMania 10 report, it is announced that Lex Luger will face Yokozuna for the WWF Championship first at WrestleMania 10 and that Bret "Hit Man" Hart will face Owen Hart before facing the winner of Luger and Yokozuna for the WWF Championship later that night. We then hear from Bret, who says it is amazing how much depends in a coin toss, and he is not sure if it will work for or against him. He wishes Lex Luger all the luck in the world, as he would rather face a gentleman. If Yokozuna comes out on top, then they know where they stand, and he wants the WWF Championship back and they both know he is going to do it. Bret says it disturbs him inside that in order to make it happen, he has to go through his own brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart, and as much as he detests the idea, he hopes Owen is happy with what he has done as it will get tough and Owen will pay for what he has done. It is then made official that "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Crush will face off in a Last Man Standing Match where falls count absolutely anywhere in the building and the winner must get back to the ring in 60 seconds.

Kwang - managed by Harvey Wippleman - beats John Paul in his WWF debut.

We hear from Paul Bearer, who asks the fans if they can feel the spirit of The Undertaker, as he feels it all around and he feels it most in the cemetery. As a shadow of The Undertaker is nearby, Paul Bearer says The Underaker being gone could not be any further from the truth and that The Undertaker will never rest in peace, as he will return. We then see one final color-inverted image of The Undertaker.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) ends in a 10-minute time limit draw. (Had The Steiners won in ten minutes or less, they would have gotten a tag team title shot against The Quebecers next week.) Before the match, The Quebecers stay true to their words and keep the WWF Tag Team Championships in the locker room, never showing up with them despite the match being a non-title match. It is also announced that "The Model" Rick Martel will face "Macho Man" Randy Savage next week. During the match, Johnny Polo rings the bell to end the match prematurely, but it does not work when he gets caught, and the match continues. Johnny Polo then gets in the ring and falls victim to an assisted top rope Steiner bulldog, causing the time limit to expire.

We hear from "The Rocket" Owen Hart, who says there is no doubt that his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart has done it all in the WWF. However, that was then and this is now; he has never faced him and everything Bret has done was all before he met him in the ring. At WrestleMania 10, when he beats him for the three-count, that will make him better than Bret and he will be able to take it one step higher. He then says that once "The Rocket" is lit and he soars straight to the top, there is nothing that will stop him.

Dana Zielke is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Doink quickly beats George South, then Dink squirts water out of the flower on his jacket at George South.

The newest issue of WWF Magazine, with The Undertaker on the cover, is on newsstands this Tuesday.

We hear from Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji. Cornette says that he and Fuji have been ripped off and that Jack Tunney has concocted the ultimate revenge against Yokozuna. He says that The Undertaker was made into the savior of the World Wrestling Federation only to be put in his place, and now Yokozuna has to wrestle twice in the same match. Cornette says that Yokozuna will beat Lex Luger and face Bret "Hit Man" Hart, which means that they cannot find anyone to beat Yokozuna and they have to stack people up to take the WWF Championship from him. He says that before WrestleMania 10, there will be changes, and those changes will be the health of both Bret and Luger.

Next week: Crush! The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke)! Ludvig Borga! An update on the sage of Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

"The Model" Rick Martel calls "Macho Man" Randy Savage an insult to the fashion industry due to his clothes, and says that next week, he will finish him once and for all with style.

This Monday night on Raw, there will be a coin toss to dictate who faces Yokozuna. If Luger wins the coin toss, Bret will face Owen Hart, then face whoever is the winner of Luger vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. If Bret wins the coin toss, Luger will face Crush before facing the winner of Bret vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship.

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

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

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

During the Royal Rumble report, we hear from Irwin R. Schyster, who says Razor Ramon has a bad habit of misplacing gold objects, as he has misplaced the "fool's gold" around his neck and will soon misplace the WWF Intercontinental Championship, as he will be taking it with him after Royal Rumble. We then hear from Razor, who tells I.R.S. that the time for talking is over and the time for fighting has begun.

He then says tonight will be the night that he does that alongside Bret with the tag team titles, and he will get his big break and lift off higher than he has ever gone before. He says that The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) are going down and that they will be number one. Bret says that his altercation with Owen is water under the bridge and does not matter anymore, as they are a unit and a pair of brothers going to the top. Tonight, they will prove they are the greatest team in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, and when The Quebecers lose, they will be winning the WWF Tag Team Championship for themselves and their family as well as for the fans. He says it is showtime and that there is no stopping them now.

We hear Men on a Mission's (Mabel, Mo, Oscar) Royal Rumble Rap.

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

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

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

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

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

Virgil beats Derek Domino by submission.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for January 8, 1994

WWF President Jack Tunney announces that Lex Luger will be allowed to take part in the Royal Rumble Match, and that he will be joined by two other entries representing Mr. Fuji: Tenryu and The Great Kabuki. All 30 participants have now been added into the match, and the winner will face the WWF Champion at WrestleMania 10.

Yokozuna beats Scott Taylor and Bert Centeno in a 2-on-1 handicap match. As the match begings, we see pre-recorded comments from Mr. Fuji, who says that WWF President Jack Tunney gave permission to enter the Royal Rumble Match, and for that, he has hired two great wrestlers from Japan to assure that Luger will not survive it. After the match, the lights go out, and Paul Bearer, The Undertaker and the coffin that The Undertaker is working on shows up on the video screen. Paul Bearer says he has read the fine print in the contract, and tells Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji forgot to read his and that they made a big mistake in unwittingly putting Yokozuna in a Casket Match that Bearer now reveals as a one time only match. The Undertaker says it will take him only one time, and that Yokozuna and his entourage have made a big mistake. He, on the other hand, does not make mistakes; he buries them. Yokozuna is spooked.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Rich Myers. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Jarrett, who says that WWF President Jack Tunney and 29 other wrestlers will find out he is the best there is at the Royal Rumble Match. After the match, Jarrett hits Rich Myers with a kick to the gut followed by a running jumping DDT.

Shawn Michaels is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available worldwide this Tuesday. Meanwhile, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett gets an article concerning his activities in Nashville, Tennessee.

Jim Ross advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th with a triple main event. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka, 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 Crush, who says that he wants to win the Rumble for himself and Mr. Fuji while proving to the world that he is the most awesome force in the WWF when he goes into the ring like a tornado in a trailer park to toss everyone out of it. He only fears one thing: "Macho Man" Randy Savage not showing up. If Savage does show up, however, his screaming fans will see his worst nightmare come true. We also hear from Savage, who says that he has never been more ready for the New York City Rumble, and says everyone around the world dreams of wrestling in Madison Square Garden. He has an underlying current in the form of Crush, and he plans on winning the New York City Rumble because Madison Square Garden is very important to him. He knows Crush is focused on hurting him, but he might just nail Crush if he tries.

Chris McKenna is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Mike Bell with the Sharpshooter. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bret and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says he cannot express how happy he is to team up with Bret for the tag team titles at Royal Rumble, and he wants this title shot to be the best one yet. Bret says it will be a big day for them, and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) are going down hard when they become the new tag champs.

Rene Rougeau interviews The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) and Johnny Polo. Polo says he hates Luger, calling him a yellow-bellied coward and says he put a piece of metal in his arm to be like the Bionic Man before knocking him and The Quebecers out with the running forearm smash. He hopes that Lex Luger ends up all alone in the ring during the Royal Rumble with ten of their friends, as he will find out he is not as much of a knock-out than he thinks he is. Pierre says something in French, then Jacques says there is no one in the WWF who is as close as they are. He also says that brothers are not always close, and that brothers don't always get along. Polo says that to prove what kind of champions they are, they will defend the tag titles on Raw next week against Marty Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid, whom he says are much worthier opponents than Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Jacques says they will prove they are fighting champions, not closet champions, and at Royal Rumble, they will show what brotherly love is all about.

Tatanka tells us not to drink and drive.

Razor Ramon beats Chris Duffy. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Irwin R. Schyster, who tells Razor Ramon that he has gone out of his way to embarrass him on national television more than once, and has accused him of stealing the gold around his neck. If he were Razor Ramon, he would be more focused on the gold around his waist, because at Royal Rumble, it will be his.

We see a video package for Kwang, who breaks two wooden boards with his fists.

On the Royal Rumble Report, it is made official that Lex Luger, Tenryu and The Great Kabuki have officially added to the Royal Rumble Match, officially bringing the official amount of participants in the match to 30. We then hear from Lex Luger, who cannot say how excited he is to be in the Royal Rumble Match. He thanks WWF President Jack Tunney for rendering the decision as well as the fans for their loyalty and support, which made it all possible. As for Mr. Fuji's "great compromise," he is more focused on the match as there are no friends and only foes. He plans to thank the fans by winning the Royal Rumble. We also hear from Ludvig Borga, who says there is nothing better for him than the Royal Rumble. He gives no mercy, and he does not want it, either. He will not give any mercy to Tatanka, and once he is done with him, he will be out. We then hear from Tatanka, who says talk is cheap and that Ludvig Borga speaks with a forked tongue. He says that Ludvig Borga found out what kind of savage he created when he injured him, and that he will find out what he really made at Royal Rumble, as he will not make it to the Royal Rumble Match.

Doink is on this month's calendar on WWF Magazine.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats Brian Walsh. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says he will be in the Royal Rumble Match. After the match, Doink shows up, and referee Tim White has to keep Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon away from Doink. As Bam Bam Bigelow gets closer to Doink, Dink sneaks up on Bam Bam. Doink fakes throwing a bucket of water at Bam Bam, who trips over Dink. Doink then empties the bucket on the floor, revealing that there were marbles inside. Bam Bam and Luna slide on the marbles as they go after Doink and Dink.

Jim Ross re-advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th. Rick Steiner will take on Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Cornette tells Tatanka that on January 17th, he can conjure all the spirits and power of all the Native Americans and have every fan in Madison Square Garden cheering for him, and he can remember all the pain, agony, suffering and embarrassment that he suffered at the hands of Yokozuna, but he might as well ball all that up and throw it over his shoulder and into the trash, because when Yokozuna hits him with the Banzai Drop, he will be stretchered out of the building. We also hear from Tatanka, who says the fans have never seen him so intense. He resembles America to the fullest, being the first American, as he says everyone knows Yokozuna did to him. He has not forgotten what he did to him, his family and his fans. He tells Yokozuna to prepare for war on the battlefield, for he will inflict pain on him and take the WWF Championship away.

Next week: the unveiling of The Undertaker's double-wide, double-deep casket as well as The Undertaker in action! Tatanka! Lex Luger vs. Bastion Booger!

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

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

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

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

Razor Ramon tells us not to smoke.

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

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

Trevor Jones is honorary ring announcer for the next match.

Bastion Booger beats Tony Roy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Saturday, December 25, 1993

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 25, 1993

Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart show up on the video screen, together again. Bret admits that there was a lot of friction between him and Owen, but he knew this was tearing the family apart and that they had to sit down and talk about it, which worked. He may never find out who the better wrestler was, and feels better about it anyway as he knows he can better channel his energy into a tag team match against The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) with the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line, as united, they stand, and divided, they fall. Owen says he said things after Survivor Series he should not have said, but it does not matter if they were true or not as 1994 will be their year when he kicks off with Bret right behind. Together, they will take the WWF Tag Team Championships and make 1994 memorable for him and Owen.

Shawn Michaels beats Phil Apollo. Before the match begins, Shawn says he is the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion.

Jim Ross advertises a show for the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on January 29th at 1:30 PM with a triple main event. Macho Man faces Crush in a two-out-of-three falls anywhere match, and Tatanka and Lex Luger will join forces for the first time against Yokozuna and Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji for Face To Face. Cornette says he and Fuji are more nervous about this event than anything else, and says Tatanka and Lex Luger have been humiliated and embarrassed numerous times at the hands of Yokozuna and Ludvig Borga. He says that one is humiliated and embarrassed that much, one would want revenge, but if Ludvig Borga does not break their backs, then Yokozuna will flatten them like pancakes. He is looking forward to seeing Luger again as he knows he has a few tricks up his sleeve, and tells Tatanka to do a war dance.

Lex Luger vs. Quebecer Jacques: next week on Superstars!

Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat "Iron" Mike Sharpe and Mike Bell.

Santa Claus wishes us a Merry Christmas and tells us to stay tuned to Superstars.

We see a vignette for Kwang, a ninja who is coming soon to the World Wrestling Federation.

David Vaughn is honorary ring announcer for the next match. Dink gives gifts to people in the front row.

Doink beats Reno Riggins.

On the Royal Rumble Report, Paul Bearer says The Undertaker is making his list and checking it twice, and says Mr. Fuji has been very naughty and Jim Cornette is not so nice. For The Undertaker, 'tis the season to be jolly, as The Undertaker is crafting a casket for Yokozuna. The Undertaker tells Yokozuna that soon, he too will be gift-wrapped, and wishes him a merry Christmas as we see a wreath on top of the casket he is making. It is then made official that Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart will face The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, and that Tatanka will face Ludvig Borga. Nine new Superstars are now confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match: Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The 1-2-3 Kid, Fatu, Samu, Rick Steiner, Bob Backlund and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. We then hear from Jim Cornette in a phone conversation recorded earlier. Cornette feels cheated and that the contract for The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship has been tampered, and says it is all part of a conspiracy by WWF President, Jack Tunner, The Undertaker, Paul Bearer and the fans. At Royal Rumble, Yokozuna will have his turkey late in the former of an Undertaker turkey with Paul Bearer stuffing.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Ralph Mosca. Before the bell rings to begin the match, Mosca whips I.R.S. into the ring post, then tries to look in the briefcase as I.R.S. tries to get up. However, there is a combination lock, and when I.R.S. sees him, he takes the boots to him, and the match begins as he tells Mosca that nobody touches his briefcase.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show for the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on January 29th at 1:30 PM. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Doink will take on Bam Bam Bigelow, and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will go up against Irwin R. Schyster. We then hear from Crush for Face To Face. He says that he is not worried about the hazards of a two-out-of-three falls match, and says he is happy that he can take "Macho Man" Randy Savage all over the arena and make him suffer for sticking the knife in his back. He says he will make Savage's worst nightmare come true. We then hear from Savage, who says he is concerned but he is a survivor, and when the bell rings, he turns on the switch and he becomes electric. He says he and Crush can take it to a different level, and if Crush shows up, he can promise that their match will be the wildest thing we have ever seen.

Next week: Razor Ramon! Ludvig Borga! "The Rocket" Owen Hart!

We hear from Johnny Polo and Jacques. Revenge is on their minds, and they have been waiting for Lex Luger. They are coming prepared, and what happened to Pierre will not happen to Jacques. We then hear from Lex Luger, who says he has the rare opportunity to meet Jacques. He says Jacques saw what happened to Pierre, and now Jacques will see first-hand what "Made In America" is all about.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 18, 1993

Bam Bam Bigelow beats P.J. Walker. During the match, we hear pre-recorded from Bam Bam, who wants not only Doink's head on a silver platter, but also a big blazing fireplace with peace and quiet for him and Luna Vachon.

We see Vince McMahon interview Bret "Hit Man" Hart in footage from earlier this week. Bret says his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart is mixed up right now, and that a match between them would tear up the entire family. He does not know where Owen gets the impression that he was always favored while Owen was pushed off to the side. He admits that Owen won as many accomplishments as he did, but he never felt they needed to be compared to each other. He also does not buy the belief that Owen has lived in his shadow, even if he started off, got famous and accomplished things before Owen did. He is proud of what he has done in the WWF, as is his family, and so should Owen, who has hurdles to jump and goals to reach of his own as he has a whole career ahead of him. As for the post-match celebration at Survivor Series, he says Owen was aware he could join them, and is shocked by Owen saying he felt left out of it. When asked if he has ever been selfish, Bret believes he has never been selfish and has always tried to be the best big brother he could be to Owen, and if Owen feels he is jealous, he would rather talk about it. As for Owen's challenge to a one-on-one match to prove who the better brother is, Bret says he has never backed away from anybody or turned down a challenge, but there are no circumstances where he would want to step into the ring with his brother Owen, and says he will not do it as he does not want this to go any further than it already has.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats Duane Gill. During the match, it is announced that there is a Superstar interview with The 1-2-3 Kid in this month's issue of WWF Magazine.

Also, Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka. We then hear from Razor Ramon for Face To Face. He tells Jeff Jarrett that the Garden is like his second home, and in his schedule defending the title, he spends more time in New York than in Miami. He says that this is Jarrett's first time in the Garden, where he is undefeated. We then hear from Jarrett, who says the New York fans stink. He says they may be called "enthusiastic," but to him they are "loudmouthed foreigners." He says Razor Ramon reminds him of the loudmouth New York fans, and the Intercontinental Championship will soon be his.

Ludvig Borga vs. Tatanka: next week on Raw!

Before the next match, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett says his debut on Superstars is what everyone has been waiting for, and tells everyone not to forget his name.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Chris Duffy in his WWF debut. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Jeff Jarrett, who says that whatever he wants, he takes when it comes to what he wants for Christmas. He also says "The Double J-F" sounds much better to him. After the match, Jarrett says everybody has been waiting to see him, and once he gets down with the WWF, it will be called "The Double J-F."



Crush beats Russ Greenberg. Thurman "Sparky" Plugg is coming soon to the World Wrestling Federation!

Santa Claus wishes us a merry Crhistmas and a happy New Year, and tells us to stay tuned for more Superstars.

On the Royal Rumble report, it is announced that Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker in a Casket Match in what will contractually be The Undertaker's only shot at Yokozuna for the title. We hear from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer, where Paul Bearer shows off The Undertaker's workshop as well as the one-of-a-kid double-wide, double-deep casket. It is also announced that Lex Luger is denied entry in the Royal Rumble Match due to the clause in the SummerSlam contract where if Lex Luger did not win the title, he would not get another chance at Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. It is announced than an opinion poll over whether or not to let Luger into the Rumble is now open, and there will be more details this weekend on All-American Wrestling. Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Crush, Kamala, Doink, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, Mabel, Scott Steiner, Shawn Michaels, and Diesel are confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match, with more names coming soon. It is then announced that Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Irwin R. Schyster.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat The Brooklyn Brawler and Tony DeVito. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Steiner Brothers. Rick wants a million dollars and a fishing pole, but more importantly, the WWF Tag Team Championships. Scott hopes The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) have a rotten Christmas.

Jim Ross re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th. Rick Steiner faces Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Tatanka, who says he is physically ready because when he got injured and felt all the pain he had inside, he went back to his homeland where he could gain the wisdom from his elders and sit down with a medicine man who could help him heal faster. He has trained six days a week, two-and-a-half hours a day for his return, so he is definitely ready for Yokozuna, who has created an animal. He has realized that Yokozuna brought something out when he put him in all that pain, and he will soon feel that pain himself. We then hear from Jim Cornette (accompanied by Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna), who does not care about Tatanka's revege and says that Tatanka has no chance at the WWF Championship. He says that Yokozuna and the WWF Championship,

Next week: Irwin R. Schyster! Shawn Michaels! Doink! Highlights from Tatanka vs. Ludvig Borga from Raw!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 11, 1993

The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Chaz Ware and Paul Jones. Before the match begins, Ware and Jones drop kick The Quebecers from behind, sending them out of the ring, and they then hold the WWF Tag Team Championships up into the air. After the Quebecers' post-match attack Ware and Jones, Johnny Polo mockingly places the tag team titles across the waists of Ware and Jones.

It is announced on Update that the main event of Royal Rumble is The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. Jim Cornette has added a stipulation making it so that it is The Undertaker's one and only chance against Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, but Paul Bearer has added a clause of his own making the match a Casket Match. We then hear from Cornette, who says there are a lot of accusations thrown around and shady deals going around, and says he made no mistake and that Paul Bearer pulled a fast one on him. He says that Yokozuna's feelings of fear were really a feeling out process, and now he knows how far to go. He also does not care if Paul Bearer or WWF President Jack Tunney or anybody is against them, as Yokozuna will put The Undertaker in the casket.

Bastion Booger beats Tony Webb.

Jim Ross advertises a show for the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey for tomorrow night with a triple main event. The 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon will take on Adam Bomb and Johnny Polo, Doink squares off with Bam Bam Bigelow, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage meets with Crush. We then hear from Lex Luger, who will be facing Ludvig Borga in a grudge match tomorrow night, saying that the stipulation that he must war a protective pad on his right forearm does not bother him, as he welcomes the opportunity to wrestle Borga with no excuses. He says defeat is a very bitter pill for Ludvig Borga to swallow, and now they get to do it one more time and see what Borga is really made of, and he will see if Ludvig Borga will admit to losing if he beats him. We then hear from Ludvig Borga, who insists Lex Luger cheated to beat him. This time, it will be different and he will show no mercy to Luger before he finishes him one and for all.

Liz Woodard is the honorary ring announcer for the next match. Also, Crush is on the newest issue of WWF Magazine on newsstands this Tuesday. As Liz does honorary ring announcer duty, Irwin R. Schyster asks if she has a social security number and if she pays taxes, then asys just because she lives in Delhi, New York and secluded from the rest of civilization does not mean she can avoid paying taxes, and tells her it is time to pay her fair share.

Irwin R. Schyster beats Mike Moraldo.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells us not to drink and drive.

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

He says it does not matter what the fans think, as they have been a thorn in his side since day one according to Mr. Fuji. He has eliminated the fans from his life and mind, and tomorrow night will be the first and last time as he will finish it. We then hear from Savage, who says it will be "Crush Crush Night," and that when he gets down with Crush, Crush will think the New York Giants trounced him before the New York Jets slapped him. He says that on "Black Sunday," The Meadowlands will be on fire and he will whup him.

Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Crush! A special interview with Bret "Hit Man" Hart! "Double J" Jeff Jarrett debuts!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 4, 1993

Ludvig Borga beats John Paul with the Torture Rack.

Survivor Series 1993 will be available on Coliseum Home Video this Wednesday.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart says it was a family feud, but it was not supposed to be the Hart family against him. He is tired of carrying the load for the family only for Bret "Hit Man" Hart to get all the recognition, and he was two for two until Bret got in his way and got him eliminated. He is also offended by not being invited back to the ring for the victory celebration, and knows where he stands with the family as he says that Bret has been a problem for a long time. He tells Bret to stay out of his way, as he is now looking out for number one. Bret tells Owen to put this behind him, saying it is not important, that everyone in the family is proud of each other and that Owen did great. He asks that Owen sit down with him and their parents so they can settle this thing, as they are family.

Bob Backlund beats "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Greg Hatfield and Todd Mata.

Jim Ross then interviews Savage and Crush (with Mr. Fuji) for Face To Face. Savage says the Meadowlands Arena is going to burn down when he kicks it into high gear down the aisle and takes Crush down. Crush says Savage talks too much, and tells him he has eight days to wake up, face reality and realize he is no match for Crush. He says he attacked him from behind just like how he stabbed him in the back. Savage says he is a cheap shot artist and he will cheap shot Crush all he wants, and he'll give him another one at the Meadowlands. Crush says Mr. Fuji has taught him how to take Savage down, but Savage tells "Garbage Fuji" that he has a slap for him as well when all hell breaks loose at the Meadowlands.

Chris Walsh is selected to be the guest ring announcer for the next match.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats Glenn Ruth.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett is in Nashville, Tennessee, and says that what happened at Buddy Lee Talent Agency will never happen again.

He meets Waldo the Country Sax, who is playing saxophone in front of the store and has never gotten a break. Jeff Jarrett says he will use the WWF to get his break, and he will come back to Nashville as a star. He gives Waldo a dollar and says he will let him play a set or two on the Double J band. When he does, the WWF will be renamed "the Double J-F."

Royal Rumble is coming to pay-per-view on Saturday, January 22nd!

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

Marty Jannetty beats Reno Riggins.

Borga says he did not lose and that Lex Luger cheated the last time they met, and next week, he will finish Lex Luger once and for all and show everyone he is no hero. Luger says he will get a chance to prove that next week, because when he gets in the ring, they are face-to-face, and forearm pad or no forearm pad, he wants to settle this and once for all because he and the fans are tired of listening to him. He cannot wait to take him out one more time, as there will be no more excuses when the square off in the Meadowlands.

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