World Wrestling Federation presents WrestleMania X Date: 3/20/1994 From: New York, NY Announcers: Vince McMahon & Bobby Heenan Attendance: 22,292 (sellout) Dark Match: The Smoking Gunna defeated The Quebecers in 8:46 when Billy pinned Jacques. A video package promoting the DiBiase/Hart, Piper/Lawler, Hogan/Flair and Luger/Taker matches is aired. It is time for WRESTLEMANIA X! Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan are standing at ringside and they welcome us to the biggest event the WWF has to offer each year. They discuss some of the bigger matches such as Piper/Lawler, DiBiase/Hart, Hogan/Flair and Taker/Luger. Heenan also discusess the Jarrett/Perfect match and believes that we will see Jarrett make his name here tonight when he pins Perfect right in the ring. Also, Heenan thinks the end of an era will take place when Randy Savage is forced to retire. McMahon notes that tonight we are going to start with a championship match! Let's send it down to the ring! Opening Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champions Steiner Brothers vs. Shawn Michaels & Diesel: Scott and Michaels opened the match with Scott controlling Michaels with mat wrestling until Michaels bailed to the floor and talked to Diesel to regain his composure. Michaels gained the advantage with a simple poke to the eye and a back suplex. Michaels let out his frustration with a stiff stomp to Scott's face and tagged in Diesel. Diesel worked on Scott in the corner with knee lifts and elbows. Diesel drives Scott down to the canvas with a side slam for a near fall. Diesel clubs Scott over the back and looks for a big boot but Scott ducks and Diesel crotches himself on the top rope for a moment. Scott comes off the ropes and clotheslines Diesel to the floor! Diesel lands on his feet and flips out on the floor while the Steiner Brothers play to the crowd in the ring. Diesel returns to the ring and wants a test of strength, which Scott goes for. Diesel takes the advantage with a knee lift to the midsection and keeps Scott down to his knees. Scott gets to his feet with the fans supporting him and manages to break free and hip toss Diesel down. Scott follows up with a series of clotheslines and looks to tag in Rick, which he does. Rick enters and delivers clotheslines of his own and power slams a charging Michaels. Rick barks to the crowd and is met with a big boot from Diesel to put an end to that. Diesel works over Rick in the corner before tagging in Michaels who jabs and stomps Rick several times. Michaels works over Rick by hitting a side suplex and a middle rope knee drop for a near fall. Michaels looks for a pile driver, and hits it, but Rick pops right up and hits himself in the head several times to show that had no impact on him! Rick delivers a flurry of offense and hits another power slam and hit a belly to belly suplex! Rick tags out to Scott who hits a double under hook powerbomb and nearly wins the bout, but Diesel got involved. Late in the match, all four men are brawling when Diesel big boots Scott to the floor and crotches Rick on the top as he was going for a bulldog. Rick flips into the ring and staggers to his feet only to be met with a super kick by Michaels. Michaels covers Rick while Diesel hold Scott on the floor to win the titles! (Diesel & Michaels over Steiner Brothers to win titles, 13:18, ***)Backstage, Jim Ross conducted an interview with Chris Benoit. Ross talked about how Benoit had turned his back on the family that had given him the chance to wrestle for a living. Benoit smirks and tells Ross that he couldn't stand to be associated with weak minded people. The day he turned on Owen Hart was the day he felt the ruthlessness that he had been lacking. Tonight, on the biggest stage of them all, he is going to make Owen Hart tap out. Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with Owen Hart. Gene asks Owen about his match with Benoit, which is coming up next. Owen tells us that his father taught him things that Benoit doesn't even know about and tonight he will use those moves to beat Benoit and teach him a lesson in respect! Second Contest: Owen Hart vs. Chris Benoit: Benoit slaps Owen in the face and is tackled by Owen in the early moments. They focus on mat wrestling early on but neither man surrenders or anything. Benoit chops Owen viciously in the corner and hit a northern lights suplex as things began to go to another level between these two. Owen dumps Benoit over the top with a backdrop and hit a top rope cross body to the floor! Owen tries to send Benoit into the ring post but Benoit counters and rams Owen shoulder first into the post. Benoit also slams Owen's arm against the ring steps to add some extra punishment. Benoit works over Owen's arm with several knee drops back in the ring and locks in a cross arm breaker until Owen reaches the bottom rope with his feet. Benoit misses a short arm clothesline and Owen nearly wins with a German suplex for a near fall. Owen quickly goes up top to hit a missile dropkick but only gets a near fall on the cover. Owen looks to go for the Sharpshooter but Benoit kicks Owen away and he hits the corner chest first hard. Owen stumbles out of the corner and Benoit connects with a full nelson suplex! Benoit signals for the end. Benoit leaps off the top and hits a diving headbutt for the win! (Chris Benoit over Owen Hart, 10:08, ***1/2) Backstage, Jim Ross is standing with Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton. Ross hypes up Jarrett's match with Mr. Perfect coming up next as the match that could make or break Jarrett's career. Jeff says that tonight the big lights are on him and Mr. Perfect but after the match is said and done, the spotlight will be on his career while Mr. Perfect's run in the WWF will be shut down for good! Third Contest: Jeff Jarrett vs. Mr. Perfect: Prior to the match, the referee ejects Scott Norton from ringside, which didn't sit well with Jarrett at all. Perfect tosses his towel at Jarrett and hammers away on Jarrett before tossing him out of the corner by his hair. Jarrett is met with a running knee lift which sends him to the floor. Perfect follows Jarrett but is rammed head first into ring post. Jarrett taunts the fans while Perfect if laid out on the floor. They return to the ring where Jarrett stomps away on Perfect and hit a snap suplex for a near fall. Jarrett countered a backdrop attempt with a swinging neck breaker and got another two count on Perfect. Jarrett begins to focus on Perfect's left knee and jumps down across the weakened leg several times. Perfect is able to avoid a middle rope cross body and hits a rolling neck snap despite a noticeable limp. Perfect follows up with a backbreaker across his injured leg but shakes it off to get a near fall. Perfect looks for the Perfect Plex, but Jarrett is able to punch Perfect's injured leg and locks in a figure four, which prompts the fans to WOOO! Perfect fights the hold and turns over to put the pressure on Jarrett until he reaches the ropes! Late in the match, Jarrett heads to the middle rope looking for a double axe handle and taunts the fans. He leaps off but is kicked in the midsection and Perfect quickly hits the Perfect Plex to win the match! (Mr. Perfect over Jeff Jarrett, 8:44, **1/2)A video promoting the New York City street fight is shown. Tonight, Bam-Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon look to prove to each other that they are the toughest men in the WWF. Who will be lucky enough to walk out of Madison Square Garden the winner? Fourth Contest: Razor Ramon vs. Bam-Bam Bigelow in a street fight: Ramon jumps off the apron with a trash can to hit Bigelow as he made his way down to the ring. Ramon mounts Bigelow on the aisle way to deliver several right hands. Ramon tosses Bigelow into the guard railing and ring steps shoulder first. Ramon charges but is dropped throat first across the railing by Bigelow to turn the match around into his favor. Bigelow grabs a chair and smashes Ramon over the back a few times before tossing him into the ring. Bigelow keeps the chair in hand and puts it over Ramon's body. Bigelow leaps off the middle rope but misses a back splash and hits only the chair! Ramon struggles to his feet and clotheslines Bigelow a few times before sending him over the top to the floor! Ramon looks for a slingshot cross body but is caught by Bigelow and slammed on the floor! Bigelow rolls Ramon into the ring and exposes a turnbuckle. Bigelow puts Ramon in the corner and attempts a big splash but misses and hits the turnbuckle chest first!

Bigelow gets up first and clubs away on Ramon before hitting a delayed vertical suplex for a near fall. Bigelow sends Ramon into the ropes and hit a miltary press slam! Bigelow signals for the end and heads to the top rope where he leaps off and hits a diving head butt but Ramon kicks out just before three! Bigelow argues with the referee while Ramon reaches into his boot to get powder and a chain. Bigelow turns around and is met with a fist full of powder, blinding him and Ramon knocks him out with the chain but can't follow up for the pin. After several seconds, Ramon crawls over to put one arm over Bigelow but can't get the win! Ramon gets up and signals for the Razors Ege! Ramon grabs Bigelow and tries to lift him up but he can't. Bigelow backdrops Ramon and plants him with a jumping DDT! Bigelow picks up the chair and heads to the top rope. Bigelow comes off and slams the chair into Ramon. Bigelow covers and is able to get the three count. (Bam-Bam Bigelow over Razor Ramon, 11:17, ***1/4) A video highlighting the feud between Bret Hart and Ted DiBiase is shown. DiBiase has gone so far to have bought the Hart House and has Bret Hart's family as his personal servants to allow them to live in the home. Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with Ted DiBiase. Gene asks DiBiase about why it had to come to this between himself and Bret Hart. DiBiase laughs and tells Gene that he wanted his name back in the bright lights and he took advantage of a situation to make that happen. For the last several months he has had the Hart Family literally kissing his feet because without him, they would be nothing. Tonight, Bret Hart can try all he wants to get his family back, but it won't happen. DiBiase assures Gene and the fans that tonight the Million Dollar Man will get the last laugh! Backstage, Jim Ross is standing with Bret Hart and his younger brother Owen Hart. Ross realizes that Bret is focused and he isn't going to ask him a stupid question. Bret cuts Ross off and says he has been waiting for this night for over five months. He says that Ted DiBiase has been thorn in his families side for far too long and tonight he is going to make him feel all the pain that he has felt and threatens DiBiase to cherish that few moments that he will be able to walk. Fifth Contest: Ted DiBiase vs. Bret Hart: DiBiase bails to the floor early on but Bret chases him around the ring before DiBiase slides back in and puts the puts to Hart to get a quick advantage. DiBiase sends Hart across the ring but misses a clothesline and Hart mounts DiBiase to deliver a series of right hands as the fans go crazy for Bret! DiBiase rolls to the floor again and tells the referee that those were closed fists. DiBiase gets on the apron and is slingshot back into the ring by Hart. Hart backs DiBiase into a corner and delivers more right hands to the face and midsection. The referee tries to pull Hart out of the corner but that allows DiBiase to poke him in the eye and hits a side Russian leg sweep. DiBiase drops a knee and several falling fist drops to maintain control of the bout. DiBiase pulls Hart up and drives his knee into his midsection before hitting a gut wrench suplex and gets a near fall. DiBiase works over Hart with a sleeper hold but Hart is able to break the hold with a jaw breaker. Hart gets up and hits a running dropkick to send DiBiase into a corner. Hart charges the corner but misses and hits the corner dangerously hard chest first. DiBiase grabs Hart and plants him with a pile driver. DiBiase taunts the fans and then motions for something backstage. IRS makes his way out with Diane Hart dressed up in a maid outfit and Bret's parents. DiBiase has Diane wipe sweat off his forehead on the floor and gives her a kiss on the check while she looks disgusted! DiBiase returns to the ring and casually works over Hart. Hart ducks a series of clotheslines and comes off the ropes to drive DiBiase down with a bulldog! Hart goes to the middle rope and hits a clothesline! DiBiase staggers to his feet and is met with a back breaker! Hart continues by coming off the middle rope for a forearm drop but only gets a two count on the cover. IRS gets on the apron to distract Hart and DiBiase begins to recover. DiBiase tries to hit Hart from behind but Hart moves and DiBiase hits IRS! Hart connects with a side Russian leg sweep and drags DiBiase to the center of the ring to lock in the Sharpshooter! Hart has it locked in as DiBiase is screaming in agony! DiBiase tries to reach the ropes but Hart drags him back and sits back rather far to add extra torque and DiBiase is forced to tap out. After the match, Bret Hart doesn't want to let go of the hold but his mother enters the ring in tears and Bret lets go to embrace her. The Hart Family has their freedom back! (Bret Hart over Ted DiBiase, 15:52, ****) A video promoting the WWF Intercontinental Championship match is aired. It focuses on the romantic parternship between champion Rick Martel and Tamara as they look to overcome the strength of challenger Ron Simmons. Backstage, Jim Ross is standing with Ron Simmons. He asks Simmons about the match coming up next. Simmons tells Ross that he is going to rearrange Martel's face and take what is rightfully his and that's the WWF Intercontinental Championship! Sixth Contest: WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel vs. Ron Simmons: Martel tries to attack Simmons before the bell but Simmons simply sends him into the ropes and hits a snap powerslam for a quick near fall. Martel staggers into a corner and kicks Simmons in the midsection to try and slow down the big man. Martel leaps off the middle rope but Simmons catches him and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex. Martel is noticeably worried as he charges at Simmons but is driven down to the mat with a spinebuster. The champ quickly rolls to the floor where Tamara gets close to her man. Martel grabs the championship from Tamara and yells at the referee to look at him. Simmons sticks his head out the middle rope and Martel whacks him in the face with the championship. That causes the referee to ring the bell. After the match, Martel rolls back into the ring and beats down Simmons with the WWF Intercontinental Championship! Martel locks in the Boston Crab while Simmons is knocked out cold. Martel soon lets go fo the hold and walks out of the ring with Tamara by his side, both of them smiling. (Ron Simmons over Rick Martel by disqualification, 4:03, **) Backstage, Mean Gene is with Hulk Hogan. Gene hypes up the upcoming match saying it's been years in the making to see Hogan square off with Ric Flair. Hogan starts off by telling Gene that it's the dream matches of all dream matches. The Hulkster against the Nature Boy, two of the biggest names in the wrestling world on the biggest stage in professional wrestling. Hogan makes it clear that he hasn't been ducking Flair and that instead Flair has been just all talk and no action, until tonight. Hogan promises his fans that he will show them why they have stood by him all these years and that tonight Hogan will defeat Flair to make it known that Hogan is the greatest wrestler to ever live once and for all! Backstage, Jim Ross is standing with Ric Flair. Ross talks to Flair about the show and the match with Hogan before noting that Flair has never won on the biggest stage of them all. Flair gets annoyed by the statement and says that all the other matches in his career have meant nothing. All the wins and loses he may have mean nothing to him. For far too long he has been wanting the almighty Hulk Hogan in the ring and tonight he gets his chance to shut Hogan and his fans mouths. Flair says he has had dreams of having Hogan trapped in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go, begging for mercy. Flair promises Ross that mercy will not be shown. Tonight, the Nature Boy is going to live up his motto... to be the man, you gotta beat the man. “Hogan, you will never, ever, be the man.” Seventh Contest: Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair: The fans are going nuts for this match before the bell even sounds of contact is made. They lock up and Hogan tosses Flair down to the mat much to the delight of the fans. They locked up again and Flair is shoved back down to the canvas. Flair fakes Hogan out on a third lockup attempt and rakes his eyes before starting to chop Hogan several times in the corner. Flair sends Hogan into the ropes and delivers a chop, thinking he knocked Hogan down, but he was wrong. Flair turns around and Hogan lifts him up to hit a miltary press slam. Flair backs off but Hogan backs him into a corner. Flair pulls Hogan face first into the middle turnbuckle and quickly stomps away on Hogan to keep control of the bout. Flair brings Hogan out of the corner to hit a back suplex for a one count as Hogan powers out. Flair drives his knee into Hogan's shoulder blades and keeps him down with a hammerlock. Hogan gets to his feet and punches Flair several times to break the hold. Hogan sends Flair into the ropes and delivers a backdrop. Flair gets up but is clotheslined over the top by Hogan. Flair grabs a chair on the floor and tries to bring it into the ring but the referee stops him from being able to do so. Hogan pulls Flair back into the ring and hits a scoop slam. Hogan tries for a big boot but Flair ducks under and chop blocks Hogan's left knee. Flair focuses on the leg by slamming Hogan's knee into the canvas several times and delivers a shin breaker. Flair puts Hogan's leg over the bottom rope and drops down across the leg a few times. Flair looks to go for the figure four but Hogan counters with an inside cradle but only gets a two count. Hogan tries to get to his feet but Flair nails him with a forearm shot. Hogan begins to get a second wind as Flair clubs away on him. Hogan grabs Flair and sends him flipping into a corner. Flair runs the apron and tries to leap off the top rope but Hogan tosses Flair off. Hogan waits in the corner and when Flair gets up he delivers a big boot! However, as Hogan begins to play to the crowd and signal for leg drop, Flair grabs the referee's foot to distract him as a masked man comes out and gets on the apron to whack Hogan over the back of his head with a crowbar! Hogan crumbles to the mat and the masked man runs backstage! Flair lets go of the referee and crawls over to Hogan. Flair puts his arm over Hogan and the referee counts the three! (Ric Flair over Hulk Hogan, 13:39, **3/4) After the match, Flair taunts the fans and leaves the ring while Hogan slowly gets up and is heard asking the referee what happened. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan talk about the match we just witnessed with McMahon upset that Hulk Hogan was just robbed by a masked man and believes we will never hear the end of it from Flair. Bobby Heenan is gloating, as usual, that Flair is the man and he just proved it by pinning Hogan. They turn their attention to the six man tag match which will see either Randy Savage or Jim Cornette fired from the WWF. Heenan notes that Cornette is far too valuable to the WWF to be lost and he couldn't care less about Savage being let go. Eighth Contest: Randy Savage, Tatanka & Marty Jannetty vs. Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga & Crush: All six men enter the ring and start going at it with the heels getting the better of the exchange. Borga tosses Tatanka to the floor and Jannetty is gorilla press slammed over the top onto him by Crush. Savage is left in the ring with all three men early on with Yokozuna hitting a belly to belly suplex. Yoko and Savage legally start off the bout with Yoko chopping Savage several times in the corner. Savage avoids a running back splash and hammers away on the big man. Savage lunges to his corner and tags in Tatanka who comes off the top with an overhand strike to wobble Yoko. Jannetty is tagged in and he comes off the top with a missile dropkick to nearly knock Yoko off his feet. Savage comes off the top with a double axe handle to knock Yoko down! Yoko tags out to Crush while Tatanka tags back into the bout. Tatanka and Crush trade right hands with Tatanka getting the better of the exchange. Crush catches Tatanka coming off the ropes and hits a side walk slam. Crush controls Tatanka with a bearhug for a few moments. Tatanka breaks the grip and is able to powerslam Crush. Jannetty gets tagged in as does Borga. Janentty uses his size to knock Borga down with a spinning heel kick. Jannetty attempts a top rope cross body but is caught by Borga who hits a gut buster for a near fall. Borga follows up with a side slam and a big splash for a near fall. Jannetty struggles to his feet but avoids a charging Borga and Borga flies over the top to the floor. Jannetty lunges to his corner to tag in Savage, but now everyone is in the ring. Tatanka clubs away on Yokozuna while Crush works over Jannetty. Savage leaps off the top rope to hit Borga with a double axe handle on the floor and that sent Borga face first into the guard railing! Savage blocks a tennis racket shot from Jim Cornette and punches him out! Savage rolls Borga into the ring and dumps Crush over the top to help Jannetty. Jannetty takes Crush out with a slingshot cross body. Savage goes up top as Tatanka sends Yokozuna face first into the ring post. Savage leaps off and hits the elbow drop on Borga to get the victory! (Randy Savage, Tatanka & Marty Jannetty over Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga & Crush, 8:49, **1/2) After the match, security grabs Jim Cornette and escort him out of the arena as Savage and company celebrate the win! Howard Finkel is standing in the ring to introduce the arm wrestling contest between Scott Norton and the British Bulldog. Finkel goes over the rules as Jeff Jarrett is getting Norton prepared for the encounter. Before the start of the contest, Jim Neidhart comes out to be by Bulldog's side! Jarrett doesn't like that Neidhart came out here but tough luck for him. They begin the contest with Norton getting the early advantage but Bulldog digs deep and begins to make his move. Jarrett gets nervous and appears to try and hit Bulldog, but Neidhart tackles him as Bulldog slams Norton's fist down to the table to win. Norton tips the table over Bulldog and grabs Neidhart. Norton looks to hit Neidhart but Bulldog gets up and spins Norton around to hit a running power slam! Norton and Jarrett bail to the floor while Bulldog and Neidhart play to the crowd. A video promoting the loud mouth Jerry Lawler who only cares about his talk show. The video continues with promotion for the man who came to the WWF to shut Lawler up and take over the talk show duties for RAW, Roddy Piper. Tonight, they meet with the winner getting their talk show on RAW. Ninth Contest: Roddy Piper vs. Jerry Lawler: Roddy Piper made his entrance first and was met with a warm reception. However, while Piper played to the crowd, Lawler came out from behind and attacked Piper. Lawler hit Piper with a flurry of right hands and kicks before planting Piper with a sickening pile driver on the concrete floor. Lawler got to his feet and had an evil grin on his face as he rolled Piper into the ring. The fans are beyond pissed at the actions of Lawler. Lawler demands the referee call for the bell and when he does, Lawler leaps off the middle rope to hit a fist drop. Lawler proceeds to cover Piper and wins the match quickly. (Jerry Lawler over Roddy Piper, 0:20, NR) After the match, Lawler grabs a microphone and rips into Piper telling him that he will do whatever it takes to keep his talk show on RAW because it is what the people want. They don't care about Piper's Pit. Lawler hits Piper with the microphone and laughs into the microphone before leaving with his arm raised high. A video promoting WWF World Champion Lex Luger's title reign since SummerSlam '93. He ran through all the competition put in his way, but at the Royal Rumble he got a new challenger in the deadman, the Undertaker. Can Lex Luger keep ahold of his championship or will the Undertaker tear his fingers off and take the championship for himself? Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with the WWF World Champion Lex Luger. Gene notes that Luger is clearly afraid of the Undertaker, but Luger scouffs at that accusation. Luger has no fears and says that the Undertaker and Paul Bearer should be fearful of looking like fools when they are unable to beat him for the championship. Luger says the gold is going to stay around his waist until he dies before walking away. Main Event: WWF World Champion Lex Luger vs. The Undertaker: Despite saying he is not afraid of the Undertaker, Luger hid behind the referee in the corner during Taker's entrance. Taker stalks towards Luger, who tries to reason with the challenger. Taker has none of it and grabs the champion by his throat and tosses him across the ring. Taker hammers away on Luger in the corner before sending Luger into the ropes and hits a leaping clothesline. Taker scoop slams the champ but misses an elbow drop. Luger quickly gets up and knee lifts Taker in the midsection and clubs him over the back. Luger sets Taker up and hits a vertical suplex for a one count in the opening minutes of the match. Luger works over Taker with more right hands and rams Taker back first into the corner. Luger lifts Taker up and flapjacks him down to the canvas. Luger rolls to the floor and stalks towards Paul Bearer wanting to get the urn from him. However, the Undertaker sits up and yanks Luger into the ring by his head. Taker throat thrusts Luger a couple of times and sends Luger into the ropes where he hits a big boot. Taker signals for a choke slam but when he lifts Luger into the air, Luger is able to poke Taker in the eyes and comes off the ropes to hit a running forearm smash but only gets a two count on the cover! Luger flips out and argues with the referee. Taker sits up and grabs Luger by the throat to hit the choke slam on a second attempt. The fans seem to know what is coming next and Taker signals for the end. Taker grabs Luger and puts him in position for the tombstone, which he hits! Taker covers Luger and he was won the WWF World Championship! (The Undertaker defeated Lex Luger to win the title, 10:11, **1/4). After the match, the Undertaker poses with the WWF World Championship while Paul Bearer hold the urn in the middle of the ring to close the show. [/font]

Excellent Wrestlemania, Bob! Well worth the wait, and thanks for the hard work. I hope Simmons gets another crack at Martel's title. Also, I have to say, your Hogan-Flair match, with Flair winning, was exactly the scenario I've always wanted to have happen. Thanks for making it a pseudo-reality. Now, I can't wait to find out who was under the mask.
With Bret, Taker, Perfect, Flair, and even Simmons... All the results I were hoping for came true. Hope to see you continue the storylines with the game-weeks to come, very soon. Thanks again, man!

Steiners/Diesel and Shawn was a fine way to open the show, I like Shawn/Diesel winning the belts. Owen/Benoit sounded good as well, Benoit winning is interesting to see where it leads. Perfect/Jarrett sounded fun, glad Perfect picked up the win though I would like to see a Jarrett push. Bigelow/Ramon sounded like a lot of fun, pleasantly surprised Bigelow picked up the victory. Dibiase/Hart was a well written out emotional contest, good job on that and Hart winning is good as well. Kind of eh on Martel getting the DQ victory, I think this was Simmons time. I liked Hogan/Flair and the pre match promos were really well done but I think the big showdown between the two should've had a decisive finish between the two, don't really like the masked man ruining it. That said I'm intrigued by who it could be. 6 man tag was a solid little match as well. The arm wrestling contest was a fun write-up. I liked Lawler sneak attacking Piper to pick up the win here. Finally the main event sounded fun, I would've liked to maybe go a bit longer but it was still a good little write-up. Taker winning is good as well as there wasn't a whole lot more for Luger as champ, I'm expecting Taker/Bigelow over the title which is fine by me.
Overall a good Wrestlemania Bob, well written and I love the direction you've taken with this diary. Keep it up.

WWF WrestleMania X: Sunday 20th March 1994...The Smoking Gunns with a win against the Quebecers was the right way to go about having a dark match, riles the crowd up a bit. Good decision to open the show with the Steiner Brothers losing the WWF Tag Team Championships to Shawn Michaels and Diesel. The right move really, Michaels and Diesel can hang about the tag division for a bit. Owen Hart and Chris Benoit following? I'm not a mad fan of that really, awkward position for the Canadians. Benoit with the win is fine, I believe he has more experience, not overly sure on that one though. Jeff Jarrett and Mr Perfect would have made an interesting match, but it was the right call for Perfect to win. Jarrett got enough exposure even facing Perfect this young in his WWF career. Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon would have been solid, I'm not 100% sure on Bam Bam getting the win, but so far only two heels have won, so this evens it out a bit. I can't picture the finish with the Diving Headbutt spot with the chair in this time period, but nevermind. Bret Hart and Ted Dibiase finally rounded off their rivalry, very good match, Bret winning was the obvious one, and I hope that's it for the Hart Family's rivalry with Dibiase. Ron Simmons beating Rick Martel by disqualification is fair, the video package before it wasn't really necessary in my mind. The WWF Intercontinental Championship match is well renowned for its filler material when it comes to WrestleMania. Not absolutely sure about Ric Flair facing Hulk Hogan this early on in the show, but whatever. Flair with the win was really surprising, but of course it wasn't cleanly. I'm wondering who the masked man was. I see it being built up over the next few months. Wondering how long Flair's hanging around for. I feel sorry for Randy Savage and Yokozuna being in the filler spot on the card after a big match, but nevermind. I really hope that Jim Cornette makes a return, he made managing in the WWF during this time very fun, and him getting fired this soon is very anticlimatic in my mind. Liked the exchange with British Bulldog and Scott Norton in the arm-wrestling contest segmnet, but too late on in the show in my mind. Same with Roddy Piper and Jerry Lawler, very rushed segment/match. And I really hope that we see a rematch at King of the Ring like in real life. And if I'm honest, the WWF Championship match was overshadowed by a lot of the undercard. At ten minutes, too, that's pretty disappointing to say the least. Nonetheless, about time the Undertaker won the WWF Championship from Lex Luger, it's the right time to o it, and it keeps 'Taker's very short streak alive for the time being. Overall, there was a lot on this show, perhaps too much. The ordering was a bit off, and I think everything was short (which is understandable with the capacity of matches and segments). I'm looking forward to where this goes from here on out, nonetheless.

Expected Michaels and Diesel to get the win and glad they did. Awesome second match here with Benoit and Owen. Very surprised to see Benoit get the win in what sounded like a good match. Another solid match up next with Jarret and Perfect. I've really never liked Jarrett so i'm glad Perfect got the win here. Wish Razor would've got the win over Bam Bam. I feel like he could've been great in the WWF title picture. But at least Bam Bam needed to use the chair to put Razor away. Another good in ring match up here between Dibiase and Hart. Would've been shocked to not see Hart go over here. Interesting match up in Simmons vs. Martel. Dirty finish makes sense for Martel here, nicely done. Huge match in Flair and Hogan and honestly wondering how this didn't go second to last. I get the theory of spacing out big matches but it's Flair vs. Hogan we're talking about here. Didn't expect Flair over Hogan, a pleasant surprise and probably something that would only happen in a diary because god knows Hogan wouldn't put over God himself at that time. Expected Savage's team to get the win. Good angle with Lawler, really gets him big time heat. Finally someone puts the belt on Taker before WM13. His reign from SS to Tuesday in Texas is something I wish never happened and I wish he had just won it at Mania the first time. Nonetheless I felt they could've put the belt on him at Mania 9, 10 or 11 and didn't which I never really understood. Diesel over Taker just never made sense to me. Why not have Taker as champ? I'm happy you did just that here. Overall a pretty damn good card for Mania. A few minor errors but well booked in my opinion. Nice job.

World Wrestling Federation News:
- WWF officials are said to be pleased with how WrestleMania X came across. It is believed that the Bret Hart vs. Ted DiBiase match was the match of the night as everyone involved did a great job telling a story.
- The masked man angle for the Hogan/Flair match was done so that a future Hogan/Flair match could happen down the road. It is expected that Hogan and Flair will be competing in several matches with each other with the hope that Hogan/Flair will be competing at WrestleMania XI.
- According to sources, it was felt as if Luger's WWF World Championship run was a disappointment. Aside from his rivarly with Mr. Perfect it was felt that Luger didn't click with other wrestlers. He is still an asset to the company as they feel like a feud with Bret Hart involving their issues from last summer could get Luger back on track.
- As for the Undertaker, it is expected to be a long title run for him. WWF officials feel like they have a deep heel roster that could feed the Undertaker before he would need to drop the championships.
- Ted DiBiase is expected to remain active. He had been teasing retirement after WrestleMania X, but it appears he may have one more year in him. His back isn't in the greatest of condition and thus he may be limited to working pay per views and major house shows.
- WWF will be holding their first In Your House pay per view on April 23rd live from Syracuse, NY. It is expected that Lex Luger will challenge WWF World Champion The Undertaker at the event. It's also rumored that a major tag team match involving Hogan, Flair, Piper and Lawler will be booked for the event but that isn't 100% confirmed.
- Below is the scheduled card for the WWF's April 17th 1994 return to the Boston Gardens. The following matches have been advertised locally.
Rematches from WrestleMania X: WWF World Tag Team Champions Diesel & Shawn Michaels vs. Steiner Brothers WWF World Champion The Undertaker vs. Lex Luger in a casket match!
Also, Bret Hart teams with the British Bulldog to take on Money Inc!
Plus, much more!

Steiners vs. Michaels/Diesel sounded like a pretty good opener to the show. I still love the team of Michaels/Diesel so it was nice to see them win the tag titles here and I'm interested to see what they go on to do with the straps before their eventual dissension which we all know is going to happen eventually. Still love that you brought Benoit into the diary in this era and a Benoit/Owen feud in the WWF would have been amazing. Quite surprised to see Benoit win but it's not a bad thing. Perfect getting the win over Jarrett didn't really come as a surprise to me especially since Norton was ejected from ringside. Bigelow/Ramon sounded like a fun match and I'm glad that Bam Bam got the win. You booked the DiBiase/Hart feud so so well and was one of my favourite storylines in any diary I've read - especially when DiBiase bought the Hart House a few months back. Bret winning was expected as it allowed him to finally get some revenge over on Ted. I'm actually quite surprised that this match didn't go on later than it did but it's still fine as I understand you didn't want too many big matches back to back. Simmons beating Martel via disqualification was decent, I suppose. It obviously means that there will be a rematch down the line which is when I can see Ron capturing the belt. The pairing of Tamara and Martel works well and I can actually picture them together. Again, I'm not too sure on Hogan/Flair being on the show this early. I think swapping it places with the 6 man tag would have been a better move as then the Lawler/Piper match would have separated it from the main event. I liked the masked man making an appearance and I'm really interested to see who it could be. I have a feeling it will be someone from the Four Horsemen for one reason or another. Can see this storyline going on until SummerSlam or even further to SurSer if you did end up bringing in the Four Horsemen for a traditional SurSer tag match. I'm getting carried away now... Once again I'm not really surprised with the outcome of the Savage/Jannetty/Crush vs. Camp Cornette as there was no way Savage was leaving here. I like the stable of Camp Cornette so it will be a shame to see you disband them since there is no Cornette around anymore. The arm wrestling contest, for what it was, was a fun segment. Lawler sneak attacking Piper really captured his heel character well. Loved the Luger/Taker match to close out the show. Undertaker winning the championship belt was awesome and I look forward to how you not only book his run with the title but also what you do with Luger now. Overall, WrestleMania was a proper stellar show!

Week #12: March 21st - March 27th
WWF RAW 3/21/1994 1. The Smoking Gunns defeated Mark Starr & Tom Jenkins in 3:09 when Bart pinned Starr. During the bout, pre-tape comments by the Gunns were shown. They are looking to get a tag team title shot! 2. Kings Court w/ The Undertaker: Lawler opens the segment laughing about his attack on Roddy Piper to allow him to stay on as the host of Kings Court. Lawler taunts Piper by saying that he put the Hot Rod in his place and Lawler proved that he is a man of his word. Lawler proceeds to say that he has the perfect guest for the newest edition of Kings Court and that is the NEW WWF World Champion the Undertaker and Paul Bearer! Bearer and Taker slowly make their way down to the ring as the crowd makes it clear they are happy to see a new champion. Lawler isn't all that impressed as Taker steps into the ring. Lawler sarcastically gives Taker props for winning the championship and asks what he will do now as champion. Bearer tells Lawler that the Undertaker put Luger's reign to rest and they are open to any man to step forth and challenge for the gold. However, for any man who dares to challenge the Undertaker, they will need to be assured they will meet their maker. Undertaker steps forward and says “If you wish to be a champion, be warned that it may be your very last wish.” Lawler slowly takes the microphone away and is clearly nervous to hear that news. 3. Jeff Jarrett defeated Barry Horowitz in 2:35 following a double arm DDT. 4. Ron Simmons defeated Frank Martin in 2:58 following a spine buster. After the match. Ron Simmons gets close to the camera and makes it clear that he is coming for Rick Martel and the gold. 5. Sparky Plugg Vignette: A video promoting a racecar driver is shown. Plugg is at the race track where he says he has been an accomplish driver and is looking to take his fighting spirit to the WWF! He is going to arriving in the WWF very soon! 6. Bam-Bam Bigelow Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Bam-Bam Bigelow who proved he was a tougher man against Razor Ramon last night at WrestleMania X. Bigelow starts off by telling Ross that he showed the WWF that Ramon is nothing more than a fraud. He believes Ramon will never show his face in the WWF again out of embarrassment that he was beaten so easily. Ross doubts that will be the case, but he also asks Bigelow what he has in store now. Bigelow tells Ross that while he was the victor last night, he is upset over what happened at the end of the night. You see, the Undertaker won the WWF World Championship and Bigelow is none to pleased to see a man he dominated for six months hold a championship that belongs around his waist. Bigelow finishes off by saying “Hey Dead Man... you're a deadman walking. The Beast is coming for that gold!” 7. Ludvig Borga defeated Jason Corkran in 2:33 following a shoulder breaker. 8. The Kamikaze Kid & Marty Jannetty defeated The Quebecers in 7:05 when Kid pinned Pierre following a moonsault. 9. Hulk Hogan Interview: Vince McMahon introduces former WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan for an interview. Hogan comes down but doesn't play to the crowd and instead enters the ring to yank the microphone away from McMahon. Hogan wants to apologize to all the WWF fans for letting them all down and losing to the snake Ric Flair and his mysterious masked man. Hogan tells us that he isn't going to rest into he gets Flair in the ring and beats him like the punk that he is and finding out who the mysterious masked man. Hogan knows that Flair isn't in the building because he is celebrating the victory, which is fine by him. Hogan finishes off saying that once the celebration ends, Hogan will bring Flair back down to reality and truly prove who the better man really is!
Next week on RAW: WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel will defend the championship against Mr. Perfect!
WWF Superstars 3/26/1994 1. Chris Benoit defeated Tim Crocker in 2:17 with the Crossface. 2. Lex Luger Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with the former WWF World Champion Lex Luger. Luger is visibly upset about his loss and is confused as to what he can do. Luger knows that he has a rematch clause but he says that the Undertaker is a freak of nature and feels no pain. Luger believes the only way he can beat the Undertaker and reclaim his championship is by putting him six feet under. Ross appears to be confused and asks what Luger is meaning. Luger looks at Ross after thinking for a moment. Luger responds that the only way he can beat the Undertaker is by beating him at his own game. “Ross, I mean I'd have to beat the Undertaker so badly I could put him in a casket and be done with him. That's how I would be able to get my belt back.” Ross asks if Luger is issuing a challenge to the new champion to a casket match, but Luger thinks in the ring before leaving shaking his head confused as to what he is thinking about. 3. IRS defeated PJ Walker in 2:06 following a lariat. 4. Carlos Vega Vignette: A video promoting a new talent named Carlos Vega is shown. Vega is sitting in a leather chair, smoking a cigar as the video begins. Vega tells us that he was the man that brought Razor Ramon into the Cuban thug life, but Razor put them to shame at WrestleMania. Vega warns us that he is coming to show the WWF and Razor Ramon that he is what Razor Ramon should have been. Carlos Vega is ruthless and do whatever he needs to do to get the job done. 5. Mr. Perfect defeated Bill Anderson in 2:44 following the Perfect Plex. During the bout, Mr. Perfect shared some comments regarding his championship match next Monday on RAW. Perfect is looking forward to regaining the championship he brought prestige to. 6. Bret Hart Interview: Vince McMahon introduces Bret Hart for an interview. Bret is in a good mood after beating Ted DiBiase at WrestleMania X to reclaim the Hart Family house and free his family from being under control of the evil DiBiase. Bret admits that beating DiBiase and having him locked in the Sharpshooter was one of the best feelings he has ever felt. Ross notes that the British Bulldog appears to have some issues with DiBiase considering his wife Diana was also a victim of DiBiase's actions. Bret tells Ross that while he got some measure of revenge on DiBiase, he supports Bulldog in his quest to take care of DiBiase for his own sanity. Hart finishes off saying that DiBiase is going to learn that you don't mess with the Hart Family. 7. The British Bulldog defeated Mike Khoury in 1:39 following a running powerslam. 8. Yokozuna defeated Koko B. Ware in 2:15 following the Bonzai Drop.
Next week on Superstars: Crush will be in action against Owen Hart!
WWF Wrestling Challenge 3/27/1994 1. Doink the Clown defeated Frank Johnson in 2:44 following a Whoopee Cushion. 2. Johnny Polo Interview: Polo shares some comments about how he was upset about Jim Cornette being fired due to his team losing at Mania. However, once the anger subsided he realized their was an opportunity. Polo says there are a group of men that need a leader and he has recruited them! That's right. Yokozuna, Crush, Ludvig Borga and the Quebecers step into the picture and Polo is laughing saying that Johnny Polo is going to run the WWF and no one is going stop HIS army! 3. Owen Hart defeated Christopher Cullen in 2:06 following a missile dropkick. 4. Tatanka defeated William House in 2:16 following a Samoan Drop. 5. Ted DiBiase Interview: Vince McMahon introduces Ted DiBiase, who despite the loss at Mania, is still as evil as ever. DiBiase doesn't want to talk about his loss to Bret Hart as he has moved on from that investment. No, instead he wants to talk about the British Bulldog. DiBiase describes his venture with Diana and notes how soft her skin was and how wet her lips were. Ted says that part of him misses that and knows that every time that Bulldog kisses her now, Diana will have a lasting memory of DiBiase. McMahon reminds DiBiase that Bulldog is coming for Ted, but DiBiase isn't fazed. DiBiase tells Vince that he is going to put the dog to sleep and take his trophy wife too! Ted finishes off the segment with his trademark laugh. 6. Crush defeated Jeff Erickson in 2:55 with the Kona Vice. 7. Steiner Brothers Interview: We hear comments from the former WWF World Tag Team Champions Rick and Scott Steiner. They keep it short and simple. Diesel and Shawn Michaels better be training hard because the former champs are coming back for the straps. That's right they are invoking their rematch clause. 8. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Marty Jannetty in 7:05 following a diving headbutt.
Next week on Wrestling Challenge: Ludvig Borga will compete in singles action against Randy Savage!

Awesome week, just as usual, Bob. I'm glad to see the vignettes of Bob Holly, and who I presume is Savio Vega. I can't wait to see your take on a Vega-Ramon feud, as I remember they were allies in the real world.
I'm also anxiously awaiting the reveal on who Flair's masked man is. I know who I'd love it to be, but I won't say, so I don't influence who you have in mind.
Slow build to a Luger-Taker casket match? Love it.
Please keep this up as long as you can. I sincerely enjoy it. Thank you!

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 21st March 1994...The Smoking Gunns with a win was a fair way to get the fallout from WrestleMania X started. I guess we'll be seeing them challenge Diesel and Shawn Michaels at In Your House for the WWF Tag Team Championships. No chance they're picking them up, but a good opportunity nonetheless. The Undertaker on the King's Court? Very interesting haha. I was surprised we didn't see an irate Lex Luger on the show to finalize their rematch at In Your House, but I guess that'll come next week. Jeff Jarrett and Ron Simmons with wins were right, I see Simmons failing again in his venture to take the WWF Intercontinental Championship from Rick Martel. Hey it's Bob Holly, and he's coming to the World Wrestling Federation. Haha. Bam Bam Bigelow's interview was great, wow Bigelow's calling the "Deadman" out. Could be a great continuation of their rivalry last Summer, so long as it doesn't last too long. Ludvig Borga with the win kept him strong, as the Kamikaze Kid and Marty Jannetty got a good win against the Quebecers. Hulk Hogan's promo basically prepared us for a potential rematch, which I could see you pulling off and finally executing at SummerSlam; if not holding it off until WrestleMania XI. I'm interested in who this masked man will be though, I'm suspecting a former Four Horsemen member. Overall, a decent show angle-wise. Match-wise, was very tag team focused. Rick Martel against Mr Perfect next week!? That's a big match, no backstory?
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 26th March 1994...Chris Benoit with the win was cool. Lex Luger's interview was good, but didn't give a clear indication on when he planned on facing the Undertaker in a Casket match. I'm hoping you decide to hold it off until King of the Ring and keep the In Your House pay-per-view series at a B-PPV level for the mean time, but I can't see you being able to do that now. I wonder when Bam Bam Bigelow's going to get his shot, for that matter. Irwin R. Schyster with the win was fine, nothing too fun. I see PJ Walker isn't quite Aldo Montoya yet. Carlos Vega? I assume it's Savio! Huh, I see you're taking a different approach to the character, bringing him in to oppose Razor Ramon rather than befriend him. Mr Perfect with the win was cool. I can't see him winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship again unfortunately. Bret Hart's interview was great, I'm wondering if this is actually leading to a potential tag team match with the British Bulldog and Bret Hart against Money Inc, or if you're just going to let Davey Boy Smith face Dibiase alone and advance to something fresh. Just so long as the angle doesn't go out too long, anyway. I think I've nearly seen enough of Bret and Dibiase's rivalry. The Bulldog with the win was nice; and Yokozuna beating Koko B. Ware was obvious. Not quite the main event I had in mind for an episode of Superstars. I am looking forward to Crush facing Owen Hart next week. But overall, eventful show with a weak main event.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 27th March 1994...Doink the Clown with a win was cool, I'm interested in what is next for Doink. Johnny Polo! Yes! I like that he's taking over where Jim Cornette left off, could very interesting indeed. Owen Hart and Tatanka with wins, good stuff there. Ted Dibiase's interview was good, definitely digging into the British Bulldog's life. He's going to get an ass-kicking of a lifetime. Crush with the win was fine; and a good promo from the Steiner Brothers although once again it didn't really determine when the Steiners would be challenging Shawn Michaels and Diesel for the WWF Tag Team Championships. I can't see them reclaiming the belts anytime soon, nonetheless. They had a good reign anyway. Bam Bam Bigelow beating Marty Jannetty was a good main event, although maybe went a little too long and thus didn't really help Bigelow in a potential venture to chase the WWF Championship. Nonetheless, a good week of television and I'm excited as to the direction of the company from this point on.

Week #13: March 28th - April 4th
WWF RAW 3/28/1994 1. The Kamikaze Kid defeated Duane Gill in 3:07 following a top rope moonsault. 2. Kings Court w/British Bulldog: Jerry Lawler opens the show by taunting Roddy Piper and WWF officials saying that he knows they wanted to cancel the Kings Court, but he was one step ahead of them all along. Lawler believes the Kings Court is the best thing going in the WWF today and will around forever! His guest this week is the British Bulldog, who makes his way out to a great ovation. Lawler starts off by defending Ted DiBiase saying that he was helping the Hart Family and Bulldog's wife Diana. Bulldog tells Lawler that DiBiase made the ultimate mistake and that was kissing his wife and making her dress up like a maid to embarrass her. Now that he is back in the WWF he is coming for Ted DiBiase. “Bret Hart got his revenge and now it's time for the British Bulldog to get his too!” Lawler chimes in to tell Bulldog that he will get his chance at the first In Your House pay per view as WWF officials have signed the match between Bullodg and DiBiase to happen live on pay per view on April 23rd from Syracuse, NY! Bulldog closes the segment by saying that no amount money will be able to put DiBiase back together when he is done with him! 3. Jeff Jarrett defeated Fred Jackson in 2:55 following a jumping DDT. 4. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Jason Stallings in 1:34 following a top rope diving headbutt. 5. Sparky Plugg Vignette: A video promoting the debut of Sparky Plugg is shown. The video focuses on a race that Plugg ended up winning. Plugg gets out of the car and says “I'm not only a winner on the race track, but I'm going to be a winner in the WWF ring!” 6. Tatanka defeated Tim York in 3:08 following a Samoan Drop. 7. Ric Flair Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Ric Flair. Flair's masked man is by his side for the interview. McMahon wants to know how Flair can stand here and be proud of his actions at WrestleMania. Flair smiles and tells McMahon that in wrestling you have to do whatever it takes to be the better man and he has been doing that for far too long. Flair doesn't understand why the fans feel bad for Hogan. “Hogan's greatest mistake was not thinking ahead. I'm two steps ahead of the Hulkster!” McMahon turns his attention to the masked man and Flair prevents the masked man from talking. Flair tells Vince that the masked man is a close personal friend of his who doesn't need to be known. Vince suggests that Flair and Hogan lock up again sometime in the future. Surprisingly Flair answers by saying “I'd have no problem making Hogan look like a fool infront of millions of fans. It would be better to do it a second time!” 8. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel defeated Mr. Perfect in 11:06 following interference from Scott Norton to retain the title. After the match, Norton rams Perfect shoulder first into the ring post until Ron Simmons comes out and officials hold him back.
WWF Superstars 4/2/1994 1.Yokozuna defeated William Erickson in 2:11 following the Bonzai Drop. 2. Ron Simmons Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Ron Simmons. Simmons tells Ross that he knows WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel knew that the championship was slipping through his fingers and took the easy way out. Simmons reveals to us that he has been given a second shot because WWF officials agreed that Simmons was screwed out of his first show. They will be meeting on April 23rd in Syracuse, NY at In Your House in a no disqualification match! 3. The Steiner Brothers defeated Barry Hardy/Mike Sharpe in 3:53 when Scott pinned Hardy after a Frankensteiner. During the match, the Steiner Brothers shared previously recorded comments stating that they will reclaim their rightful championships back on April 23rd. 4. WWF World Tag Team Champion Diesel defeated Virgil & Glenn Ruth in 2:57 after powerbombing Virgil. 5. Lex Luger Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with former WWF World Champion Lex Luger. McMahon asks if Luger has come to realize what he has to do in order to beat the Undertaker. Luger admits that what he was saying last week about wrestling the Undertaker in a casket match was just crazy talk. But, over the past seven days Luger has realized that it's not crazy. “McMahon, I know I'm the greatest wrestler in the WWF and I can beat the best at their best match. So, yes. I am officially challenging the Undertaker to a casket match.” McMahon asks if Luger is challenging the Undertaker for In Your House, but Luger declines to answer. Luger says he will reveal the time and place he wants the match this coming up Monday on RAW! 6. Jim Neidhart defeated Eric Stevenson in 2:04 following a snap powerslam. 7. Carlos Vega Vignette: A video promoting the new wrestler known as Carlos Vega is aired. Vega is sitting in a leather chair and smoking a cigar. Vega continues to rip on Razor Ramon and says that he taught Ramon better and that Vega will be coming to the WWF to personally whip Ramon back into the mindset that he should be in. 8. Crush defeated Owen Hart in 7:49 with the Kona Vice. During the match, Chris Benoit shared previously taped comments. Benoit said he isn't satisfied with what happened at WrestleMania X. He will only be satisfied when he makes Owen Hart tap out.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 4/3/1994 1. The Headshrinkers defeated PJ Walker/Bill Johnson in 2:44 when Fatu pinned Walker after a top rope big splash. 2. The Smoking Gunns Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with the Smoking Gunns. Billy and Bart talked about how they have been in the WWF for a year now and they haven't been given a chance to be champions despite beating top teams in the WWF. That brings out the Quebecers who say that they should be the team to get a title shot. Marty Jannetty and the Kamikaze Kid come out to tell those teams that they are both wrong. Jannetty doesn't want himself and Kid to be discredited because they are underdogs. The Heavenly Bodies come out and say that they are the definition of champions and when they get the chance, they will win the gold. All four teams begin to argue and nearly start a brawl until officials come out to break up the ruckus. 3. Doink the Clown defeated Joey Maggs in 2:16 following the Whoopee Cushion. 4. Men on a Mission defeated The Executioners in 3:25 when Mabel got the pin following a leg drop. Prior the match, Oscar did a rap saying that Men on a Mission are putting their name in the hat to challenge the tag champs. 5. Ted DiBiase Interview: Vince McMahon interviews Ted DiBiase this week on Wrestling Challenge. McMahon brings up the British Bulldog and DiBiase just laughs the comment off. DiBiase isn't going to let a muscle head meatball try to intimdate him. Ted says that he is perfectly fine with wrestling Bulldog on April 23rd. “Because at In Your House... I'm going to put the British Bulldog down on his back and walk out with his wife around my arm. Because, everyone has a price for the Million Dollar Man!” 6. Bret Hart defeated Tom Pritchard in 5:08 with the Sharpshooter. 7. Randy Savage defeated Ludvig Borga via disqualification in 6:16 when Johnny Polo hit Savage over the back with a hockey stick as Savage was attempting the top rope elbow drop.

I've been following this diary for a while, and now that I'm actually registered I can say that you're doing an awesome job. You did an excellent job with 1993 and hopefully 1994 will be a good follow-up for you. Some of the post-Wrestlemania storylines you have going now are intriguing and it looks like you're getting a nice card together for your first In Your House show. Keep up the good work!

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 28th March 1994...Just to note, your RAW graphic isn't working. The Kamikaze Kid gets a win, nice start to the show tonight. Up next, I liked the King's Court segment with Jerry Lawler and British Bulldog, especially the sound of this match between Davey Boy Smith and Ted Dibiase at the In Your House pay-per-view. Should be good, but I expect Dibiase will win, unfortunately. Unless you're planning on having Dibiase reture shortly after this. Jeff Jarrett and Bam Bam Bigelow had fair wins, furthering their characters a bit more with some recognition. Amused by the vignettes for Bob Holly, I can't see him making it out of the midcard region, although it's a gimmick, so it establishes who he is I guess. Tatanka with a win was fine; when did he used the Samoan drop for a finisher? Ric Flair's interview was great, I wouldn't be surprised if the masked man was Brutus Beefcake or even Arn Anderson. Also surprised that Flair is still hanging around; hoping he gets another WWF Championship opportunity in the near future. Rick Martel beating Mr Perfect was a great main event, and made Martel look good in retaining the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Nice involvement from Ron Simmons and Scott Norton as well. Eventful edition of RAW.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 2nd April 1994...Yokozuna with the win was fine, making a statement as always. Ron Simmons' interview responded to Rick Martel nicely: I hope that Martel retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship in this match against Simmons though, at In Your House. Another thing I've noted, is how Martel and Shawn Michaels have similar gimmicks essentially: both are flamboyent and have bodyguards...just something to note. The Steiner Brothers' win was cool, not a lot to add here, except the rematch with Shawn Michaels and Diesel was inevitable. I don't see them regaining the WWF Tag Team Championships on April 23rd, though. Diesel with a handicap win? It got him over as the muscle in the team with Shawn Michaels playing the arrogance role: I'd have perhaps separated this from the Steiners' win though, they're a bit close together. Poor Virgil too, teaming with an enhancement talent. Jim Neidhart with the win was fine. Carlos Vega's character sounds great, I love the sound of him going after Razor Ramon in what should be a hard-hitting feud if anything. And lastly, good win for Crush against Owen Hart, but I'm hoping Owen makes a heel turn shortly. Overall, another decent show.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 3rd April 1994...The Headshrinkers got a nice win, would be nice to see them chase the WWF Tag Team Championships again; I feel like Shawn Michaels and Diesel could mesh well with them. The Smoking Gunns' interview was cool. Wow, a lot of tag teams wanting their opportunity at the WWF Tag Team Championships, nice. I hope that Marty Jannetty and Kamikaze Kid win this contender's match set-up. Doink the Clown and the Men on a Mission had fair wins to give them something to do. Ted Dibiase's interview was nice, I liked the sinister nature behind it, saying he was going to steal Diana Hart from British Bulldog at In Your House. Bret Hart beating Tom Pritchard sounded like a decent match; again, hoping that Bret Hart steps up and challenges the Undertaker for the WWF Championship soon. And lastly, good win for Randy Savage against Ludvig Borga; surprised that Johnny Pollo got involved. Overall, a seemingly stacked Wrestling Challenge with two main events. A good week for WWF television, but where was the Undertaker and Lex Luger this week?

Another great week in 1994 WWF. Thank you for keeping up with this. It is by far my favorite diary on the board. I am totally intrigued to find out who Flair's masked man is. I hope it turns out to be someone signed away from WCW. The first IYH is definitely shaping up. I'm thinking tag team #1 contenders' battle royal?
Keep up the great work. You have a reader through and through.

Week 14: April 4th - April 10th
WWF RAW 4/4/1994 1. Ludivg Borga defeated Mike Evans in 2:42 following a shoulder breaker. During the match, Randy Savage cut a promo saying that at In Your House, he was going to knock Borga out of the US! 2. Kings Court w/ Mr. Perfect: Jerry Lawler welcomed everyone to the greatest talk show segment in WWF! His guest this week is a man who claims to be perfect, but Lawler knows that he is far from that. After all, the man lost to Lex Luger countless times when the top prize was on the line. That's right, his guest is Mr. Perfect! Perfect comes out and he is clearly annoyed with Lawler already. Lawler wants to know why Perfect claims to be the perfect wrestler when all he ever does is lose the important matches. Perfect threatens Lawler that he will grab his crown and shove it where the sun doesn't shine because he is hear to talk about one man and that's Scott Norton. Perfect says that even though Norton is enormous he is also a coward for attacking him from behind and costing him the WWF Intercontinental Championship.

Now, he gets the Undertaker live on pay per view with the top prize on the line. Bigelow cuts a promo saying that he is glad that the WWF board has opened their eyes and realized that the Beast From The East deserves a title shot.

He says that he is the only man who can realistically beat the Undertaker and he made a deal with Bam-Bam Bigelow to weaken the Undertaker.

They have had last man standing matches, and steel cage matches so nothing will prevent these two from ripping into each other. One this is for sure, though, Bam-Bam Bigelow will not be the better man. The Undertaker chimes in to tell us that “Bigelow, you are stepping into the fire once again. For a third time, your fire will be extiniguished. Come April 23rd, you will Rest In Peace.” 3. IRS defeated Anthony Stevens in 2:06 following a lariat. 4.

Looking so forward to the first In Your House. I like that you're starting them up early. I'm still anxious to see Flair's masked man eventually revealed. If you're gonna make the UT-Bigelow title mach anything like the bouts in their 1993 feud, it should be awesome. Thanks so much for this continually awesome diary.

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 4th April 1994...Alright! Ludvig Borga with a win was a fair start to this episode of RAW, bt what really did it was Randy Savage's appearance, calling Borga out. I like it a lot. Mr Perfect on the King's Court was nice, some decent chemistry on display. Perfect calling out Scott Norton was a bold move...I can imagine that Norton will pick up the win, Perfect doing a masterful job of selling to get Norton over. Legitimate WWF In Your House hype tonight. Men on a Mission with the win was fine, and same again for the British Bulldog. I can imagine that the Bulldog and Ted Dibiase would have a solid match, looking forward to seeing this. Bam Bam Bigelow being given the WWF Championship opportunity was great, a slight reprise of his rivalry with the Undertaker from last year. I guess we'll be seeing Lex Luger use his rematch clause against 'Taker at King of the Ring, would be cool. Interesting move by having Bigelow face 'Taker in the midst of Luger and 'Taker's feud, I sorta like it. Doink the Clown getting the victory was fine, and I'm interested in how you choose to use Bob Holly upon his debut following In Your House. Chris Benoit and the Kamikaze Kid had a solid main event, good win for Benoit. Owen Hart attacking Benoit has to lead to a rematch down the line. Good stuff overall, In Your House build in full swing.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 9th April 1994...AJ Fatal is a hilarious enhancement talent name. Bret Hart with the win establishes that he will be in the British Bulldog's corner against Ted Dibiase, good. Lex Luger's interview was nice, and I liked Vince McMahon's comeback, very good stuff and provides a potential change in plans if Bam Bam Bigelow leaves In Your House as WWF Champion. (I still doubt he'll get the win though). Crush and Marty Jannetty's wins were fine, followed by a good interview with Razor Ramon about bringing back his former fiery personality. I'm guessing we'll see Carlos Vega face Razor at May's In Your House, if not King of the Ring. I like the ground work for this feud. Tatanka with the win was fine, and a good tag team main event with the Smoking Guns reminding us why they're the number one contenders to the WWF Tag Team Championships, with a win against the Heavenly Bodies. More nice progression as we approach April 23rd.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 10th April 1994...Ron Simmons with the win was cool. The Undertaker's interview brought us full-circle following interviews in previous shows this week with rivals Lex Luger and Bam Bam Bigelow. Irwin R. Schyster with the win was acceptable, but he's not doing anything. Shawn Michaels and Diesel displayed their dominance over the tag team division, and why they are the WWF Tag Team Champions against the Smoking Gunns. Rick Martel's interview was pretty neat, giving us hope for Ron Simmons to beat him in No-Disqualification at In Your House. Simmons getting a WWF Intercontinental Championship reign would be cool, I do suppose. And lastly, good win for Scott Norton against Jim Neidhart in a decent big-man main event. A good build week to prepare us for In Your House in under two weeks.
