Take The Wrestling Challenge - Wrestling Challenge recap for August 1, 1993
Before the next match, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase talks about how The 1-2-3 Kid got an upset win on Razor Ramon on Raw and stole $10,000 of his money in the Raw rematch a few weeks later. He then says he hopes Razor Ramon is watching, as he plans to show him what a real man - a real Million Dollar Man - can do to The 1-2-3 Kid in short order.
The 1-2-3 Kid gets an upset win on "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase after DiBiase is distracted by Razor Ramon, which leads him to perform a lackadaisical, lazy pinfall on The Kid, which The Kid reverses into a crucifix pin to get the unlikely victory. After the match, referees and officials have to keep DiBiase away from Razor Ramon, who then gets in the ring and tells DiBiase three things: he got beat, he got beat, and he got beat. Razor then leads a "1-2-3" chant, much to the fury of DiBiase.

Adam Bomb beats Tony Webb.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund talks about the Madison Square Garden supercard in New York City, New York on Friday, August 13th. Mr. Perfect, Marty Jannetty and Tatanka take on Bam Bam Bigelow, Shawn Michaels and Diesel in six-man tag action. Yokozuna defends the WWF Championship against Bret "Hit Man" Hart in a steel cage. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will take on The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The 1-2-3 Kid will take on Doink, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage takes on "The King" Jerry Lawler in a Challenge Match. Okerlund then interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna. Bret says he'd normally be a little reluctant to step in a steel cage, especially with Yokozuna, but he looks forward to it as Yokozuna can't run or hide and Mr. Fuji can't get involved and knows he's taking the WWF Championship back. Mr. Fuji says Bret fell into his and Yokozuna's trap, and once they're in the ring, he is theirs and Bret will be finished. Bret says Mr. Fuji underestimates the Madison Square Garden fans, and says he will take the WWF Championship back.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat Damien Demento and Barry Horowitz.
Bret "Hit Man" says it really irks him and ticks him off when "The King" Jerry Lawler stoops low enough to drag his family into things. When he gets in the ring, he does his job, but he likes to keep his family separate. When Lawler humiliated his father, his mother and his brother Owen hart, he went too far and dragged it to a higher level. He looks forward to destroying Lawler at SummerSlam, saying that the ring will be like a scaffold where kings are executed.
It is announced that Shawn Michaels will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam, as the match has been made recently official.
Bastion Booger quickly beats Scott Vito.
WrestleMania: The Album is now available, and we see a preview of the music video for "SummerSlam Jam."
Tatanka beats "Iron" Mike Sharpe.
It's time for The King's Court with "The King" Jerry Lawler. This week, Lawler's guest is The Undertaker, who Lawler says isn't as scary as he used to be. After The Undertaker shows up, Lawler says something is missing, and says it's his urn, which he calls "a prized possession." Lawler then says "his close personal friend" Mr. Hughes has it, and though he doesn't know what's in it now, he'll shove The Undertaker in it when he gets his hands on him. The Undertaker grabs the microphone, tells Lawler he's a little bit too consumed with his personal belongings, and if he were Lawler, he'd be more concerned with how close he's standing to Death's door. As far as Mr. Hughes goes, he has something that belongs to him, and if he returns the urn now, he'll bring him to his demise very quickly, but if he has to come looking for Mr. Hughes, it will be a slow, agonizing, painful death. He then tells Mr. Hughes to rest in peace.
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) beat Joey Maggs and Tony DiMauro in their Wrestling Challenge debut.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund talks about the show at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Friday, August 27th. Mr. Perfect takes on Bam Bam Bigelow. The 1-2-3 Kid takes on Bastion Booger. Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) takes on Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster). Tatanka takes on Doink. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), and Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon. "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker take on Giant Gonzales and Mr. Hughes in a tag team war. Okerlund interviews Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Michaels understands the phrase "When the horse throws you, you jump right back on." Shawn mentions what happened between Razor and The 1-2-3 Kid, and asks if Razor is ready for him. Razor asks Shawn who he's trying to kid - him or himself - and says somebody in the WWF thinks he's ready because he has the title shot. He knows that since he got beaten, people have taken notie. He says he's hitting his stride, and now he's striding for Shawn. Shawn tells Razor that if he thinks being defeated will make him famous in the WWF, then he will make Razor a star, as Razor has no chance. Diesel says he's here to "keep the chicks off the champ," and that Shawn doesn't need his help.
Next week: The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Shawn Michaels and Diesel! Mr. Hughes! The King's Court with The 1-2-3 Kid!
The Lex Express Tour is heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Detriot, Michigan; Flint and Saginaw, Michigan; Grand Rapids, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois!

Take The Wrestling Challenge - Wrestling Challenge recap for July 25, 1993
Before the opening match, "The King" Jerry Lawler gives Owen Hart one last chance to walk to the back without getting his teeth kicked in, but tells him to get on his knees and kiss his feet as he is the real king of the World Wrestling Federation. Owen Hart spits on them instead, and this starts the match.
"The King" Jerry Lawler grabs the tights to beat Owen Hart. After the match, Lawler says that he hopes that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and his parents are watching as Owen now knows who the real king of wrestling is. He tells Owen he had one chance to kiss his feet, and that he'll be kissing them now as he stomps on him a few times.
Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) beat John Rechner and Glenn Ruth.
Earlier today, Vince McMahon put a call through to WWF President Jack Tunney. Tunney says he has never come across so many people supporting Lex Luger's plea for a match with Yokozuna in his time in the WWF, and notes that Mr. Fuji has stated that Luger has an unfair advantage due to the metal plate in his forearm from his motorcycle accident. Nevertheless, the match between Luger and Yokozuna for the WWF Championship is on, but there is a catch: Luger must wear an approved forearm pad over the forearm with the steel plate in it.
Lex Luger is on the Lex Express and has just gotten word that he has gotten his match with Yokozuna. Luger says that the forearm pad stipulation does not faze him, and is grateful for the opportunity. He says that the call for action will continue until SummerSlam, where he will beat Yokozuna for the WWF Championship.
Ludvig Borga beats Jason Henning.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the August 27th show at the Nassau Coliseum in New York City, where Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) will face Money Inc.

Mr. Perfect will take on Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) will face The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) for the WWF Tag Team Championships, Tatanka will face Doink, and Razor Ramon will take on "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Okerlund then interviews Mr. Hughes and Harvey Wippleman on one side and "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the other side. Savage knows Mr. Hughes has The Undertaker's urn, and he will take Gonzales and Hughes up and The Undertaker will bring them down. Savage is also looking to take "The King" Jerry Lawler out of the WWF on August 13th. Harvey Wippleman says that Giant Gonzales wants nothing to do with the people of New York, while Mr. Hughes says the urn blongs to nobody but himself.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises the Mdison Square Garden show for August 13th. Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty will take on Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow. The 1-2-3 Kid will take on Doink, The Smoking Gunns will face The Headshrinkers, "Macho Man" Randy Savage goes up against "The King" Jerry Lawler and Bret "Hit Man" Hart will face Yokozuna inside a steel cage for the WWF Championship. Okerlund then interviews Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty. Perfect says there's a lot of talent in the night's six-man tag match, especially Shawn, who doesn't want to face any of them. Tatanka says there's no love lost between him and Bam Bam Bigelow, as Bigelow ran to the back last time they met. Jannetty says they'll go three all three men five minutes at a time, and hopes Diesel can take going 3-on-1.
Next weeK; The Quebecers debut! Adam Bomb! Tatanka! The Undertaker in The King's Court!
"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase says it will be an extreme honor for The 1-2-3 Kid to be in the ring with him, as he will go down like the thousands before him. He says that everybody has a price, and this is one time that all the money in the world won't save The 1-2-3 Kid from being beaten by him.
The Lex Express is coming to Alexandria Bay, Utica, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh!

Doink beats Ken Hamilton. Before the match, Doink looks at the camera, and the image on-screen splits into two before combining back into one to briefly create the illusion of a second Doink.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces that Lex Lugger and the Lex Express can be seen across New York City tomorrow and Tuesday. It is announced that The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) will take on The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), The 1-2-3 Kid will take on Doink and "Macho Man" Randy Savage will take on "The King" Jerry Lawler.

Shawn says he doesn't want to give his team any thoughts that they will have an easy time, but none of their opponents could take the Intercontinental title from him. Diesel says that the last time he saw a team that formidable was when "Rob, Chip and Ernie were on prime time." Bigelow says that Perfect will be the first to go, and Tatanka will go out in flames. Tatanka says Bam Bam will be the first to go, as there is no love lost between them. As for Shawn, he's beaten him three times.

It's time for The King's Court. Tonight's guest is "The Rocket" Owen Hart. "The King" Jerry Lawler asks Owen how it feels to stand next to the real king. Owen says he made a promise to his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart as well as to his parents that he would not hit him and that he would save the beating to Lawler for Bret at SummerSlam. Lawler asks Owen what was going through his mind when Bret won the King of the Ring Tournament only for him to confront Bret and ruin his coronation. Owen says all he thought is that Lawler is a coward and that Bret is the real king, and that Bret will prove it at SummerSlam. The only reason why he never got involved at King of the Ring is because he promised not to get involved in the match and promised not to get involved with Lawler, but he would have loved to rip his head off. Lawler then mocks Owen's family, which ends up being the last straw for Owen as Owen tells Lawler he made a promise not to let anyone talk bad about his family, and he challenges Lawler to a match next week. Lawler tells him that if he is feeling froggy, all he has to do is jump, because he's ready and he's the king of wrestling. Owen tells Lawler that the only king he is is the Burger King.
"The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels beats Chris Hahn. During the match, it is announced that the newest issue of WWF Magazine is on sale now, and also includes an article on how Shawn took the Intercontinental Championship back from Marty Jannetty.

Okerlund also interviews "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who says that it's time to get rid of all the clowns in the World Wrestling Federation, saying that you'll have to see it to believe it when it comes to what he is going to do to "The King" Jerry Lawler in the Garden.

"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats Dave Kiner. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler realizes that Owen Hart is wrestling right now, but he tells Jim Ross to ask him if he wants to be his guest on The King's Court next week, saying his father Stu was a coward and his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart is a coward, and he wants to know if he is dealing with a family of cowards.

He also interviews Doink, who will be facing The 1-2-3 Kid...or rather, he interviews two Doinks, as The 1-2-3 Kid has suddenly disappeared. Doink says it's just an illusion.
Bastion Booger beats Marc Hargrove. During the match, "The Rocket" Owen Hart announces he accepts "The King" Jerry Lawler's invitation to guest on The King's Court next week, and that he is looking forward to it.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna. Hart says that Lex Luger body slamming Yokozuna has proved anything is possible, especially when it comes to Yokozuna. He is going into Madison Square Garden and leaving with the WWF Championship. Mr. Fuji can't believe what Lex Luger did either, and says Luger only gave Yokozuna a slight hip toss. He says WWF President Jack Tunney signed the match, and says Bret won't be able to get out of the cage as Yokozuna will smash him into the corner so much that they will have to pull off his remains. Bret says the best thing about the match is that Fuji can't get involved.
The six-man tag match between the team of The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) and Bam Bam Bigelow and the team of The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and Tatanka goes on for so long that the show ends in the middle. Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan announce that the match will continue at the start of next week's show. During the match, it is announced that there is an article in the new issue of WWF Magazine concerning Bam Bam Bigelow and the history of his tattoos. Luna Vachon, who is conspicuously absent at the beginning of the match, shows up after the commercial break.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart said the King of the Ring coronation was his moment, but when Lawler ruined it, he beat him like a dog with everything he had. He tells Lawler it will be settled at SummerSlam, and Lawler will go down to the excellence of execution.
"The Rocket" Owen Hart beats Dave Kiner. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler realizes that Owen Hart is wrestling right now, but he tells Jim Ross to ask him if he wants to be his guest on The King's Court next week, saying his father Stu was a coward and his brother Bret "Hit Man" Hart is a coward, and he wants to know if he is dealing with a family of cowards.
Next week on Wrestling Challenge: Marty Jannetty vs. Mr. Hughes!

Take The Wrestling Challenge - Wrestling Challenge recap for April 4, 1993
The show starts in front of Caesars Palace, where Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan discuss who they think will win at WrestleMania 9. We then see the footag of Doink attacking Crush from behind with the prosthetic arm.
Crush beats Barry Horowitz with the Cranium Crusher.
Bob Backlund beats an unnamed opponent.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is trying to buy a T-shirt when Gorilla Monsoon calls him over to the casino for an interview with Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji say that Yokozuna will take the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 9. We then see the contract signing between Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Yokozuna, which quickly ended in Yokozuna decimating Bret.
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are seen heading outside through the entrance door, and Gorilla gives Heenan a hard time for it.
The Bret "Hit Man" Hart/Yokozuna video package to the tune of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" is replayed.
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan interview Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who says he is all right after being maimed by Yokozuna. He knows he is going into WrestleMania 9 as the underdog, and that Yokozuna wants to crush him. He says it won't happen, as he is the best technical wrestler in WWF history and plans to prove to him why he is the WWF Champion. Heenan expresses doubt about Hart putting Yokozuna in the Sharpshooter, but Bret says he has all sorts of moves up his sleeve, and after the ten-minute mark, Yokozuna will be his.
The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Les Parker and Jim Powers.
Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Raw at the Manhattan Center in Midtown Mahattan, New York on Monday Night, April 26th. We then hear from The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), who plan to beat The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) to get closer to a tag team title shot at WrestleMania 9.
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger beats Gary Sabaugh.
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan interview Mr. Perfect outside of Caesar's Palace, who says that there is only one Mr. Perfect: himself. When "The Narcissist" Lex Luger shows up at WrestleMania 9, he will be broken into a million pieces like Evel Knievel, because he is exactly what he says he is: perfect.
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan meet and interview Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales outside of the shops. Wippleman says that The Undertaker will be destroyed by Giant Gonzales, just like how Virgil was destroyed by Gonzales on the most recent Superstars. Wippleman goes on to say that Caesars Palace will be decorated like a Roman coliseum, but Giant Gonzales says he will turn it into a Roman cemetary. We then see pre-recorded footage from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer, where The Undertaker says the sands fall rapidly through the hourglass and that the Giant Gonzales will soon take his rightful place along with all the battered corpses in the graveyard, and he will possess his soul.
Shawn Michaels says that so many champions have stepped into the ring at Caesars Palace, but none of them are like him, the Intercontinental Champion and the sexist man alive. He is then met in his hotel suite by Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, the latter of whom accidentally sits on the piano. Shawn says Gorilla is just like everyone in the casino who are betting it all on Tatanka. Shawn says Tatanka may have been lucky once or twice, but the Intercontinental Championship is going into WrestleMania 9 with the title and coming back out of it.
Kamala beats Chris Katowski.
Sean Mooney advertises Monday Night Raw at the Manhattan Center in Midtown Mahattan, New York on Monday Night, April 26th again. We then hear from Bam Bam Bigelow, who announces that at WrestleMania 9, he will face Kamala to see who the true beast is.
We see procession of gladiators and beautiful people bringing out Caesar and Cleopatra as Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan close out the show with "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviewing The Mega-Maniacs from this week's Superstars. 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?"
