Week 15: April 11th - April 17th
WWF RAW 4/11/1994 1. Bret Hart defeated Mike Evans in 2:07 with the Sharpshooter. After the match, IRS ran out and attempted to hit Bret with the steel briefcase but missed. Bret locked in the Sharpshooter until several officials came out to break Bret off of IRS. 2. Kings Court w/ Ted DiBiase: Jerry Lawler welcomes everyone to the greatest talk show in the history of pro wrestling and continues to put down Roddy Piper. Lawler thinks Piper is afraid to show his face in the WWF because of what Lawler did to him at WrestleMania X. Lawler introduces his guest, the richest man in WWF history, Ted DiBiase! DiBiase comes out looking rather gleeful and shakes hands with Lawler. Lawler wants to know what is Ted's obsession with the Hart Family. DiBiase tells Lawler that it isn't an obsession. Instead, he is just wants to erase the family name from the wrestling history books and replace it with his own. At some point he and Bret Hart will meet again and Ted believes that Bret will not prevail over him a second time. But, for the time being he has his eyes set on the British Bulldog and his wife, Diane. Lawler smirks and asks why he cares about Diana. DiBiase believes that the British Bulldog isn't big enough of a man to keep Diane happy. But, Ted believes he is. DiBiase goes on to say not only is he successful in the ring, but he is also extremely successful with his bank account. At the end of the segment, Ted asks Diana to look at the Bulldog and ask herself if she is truly happy being with a loser or if she would be happy with the richest man she has ever had the pleasure to meet. 3. Jeff Jarrett defeated Eric Harris in 2:34 following a jumping DDT. 4. WWF World Champion the Undertaker defeated Damien Wolf in 2:15 following a tombstone piledriver. During the match, Lex Luger shared some comments saying that in due time the WWF World Championship will come back to him at any means necessary! 5. Bam-Bam Bigelow/Undertaker Promo Video: The video starts at WrestleMania IX where Bigelow was able to beat Taker with a fireball and took Taker out of action for five months. Taker returned to action against Bigelow at SummerSlam 1993 to win a Last Man Standing match. They would have another showdown at Madison Square Garden, which was unsanctioned. Now, on April 23rd they meet for the biggest prize of them all... the WWF World Championship. Can Bigelow beat Taker a second time or will the Undertaker successfully defend against his most hated rival in recent memory? 6. Hulk Hogan Interview: Vince McMahon conducted a sit down interview with Hulk Hogan within the past several days to talk about WrestleMania X and Ric Flair. McMahon know how important the match with Flair at Mania was to Hogan and he can only imagine how the Hulkster feels after losing the match. Hogan talks about how they almost fought in 1991 but the match never took place on the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania. He got his chance to beat Flair three years later and he had Flair right where he wanted, but got screwed by some masked coward. Hogan knows that he is the better man and it is hurting him inside to know that he let all the fans down. Hulk tells McMahon that he has two goals in mind. First, he is going to get his hands on the masked man and reveal his identity. Second, he will get Flair in the ring a second time and this time, he will prove to be the better man! 7. Scott Norton defeated Billy Williams in 2:09 following a shoulder breaker. 8. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel defeated Tatanka in 7:35 with a school boy using the tights for extra leverage.
WWF Superstars 4/16/1994 1. Randy Savage defeated Tom Stone in 2:57 following a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Johnny Polo cut a promo saying that Ludvig Borga will be the man to put Savage into retirement! 2. British Bulldog & Diana Smith Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with the British Bulldog and his wife, Diana Smith earlier in the week. McMahon apologizes to Diana for DiBiase's comments on RAW. He asks Bulldog what is going on in his mind right now. Bulldog says that for the past eight or so months DiBiase has been trying to drive a wedge in the Hart Family and ruin their lives. Bulldog doesn't regret getting involved to help Bret Hart and would do it again because you have to stick with your family. Bulldog tells McMahon that DiBiase has angered him to a level he has never been at before. On April 23rd, Bulldog will destroy DiBiase and make sure there isn't enough money in the world to put DiBiase's broken body back together again. 3. IRS defeated Greg Jennings in 2:09 after a lariat. 4. The Headshrinkers defeated Hank Johnson & PJ Walker when Fatu pinned Johnson after a top rope big splash. 5. Scott Norton Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Scott Norton, who had Jeff Jarrett by his side. Ross brings up Norton's match with Perfect on April 23rd and asks if Norton will be able to get the job done that Jarrett failed at? Jarrett doesn't appreciate the cheap shot and begins to tell Ross that he was robbed at WrestleMania until Norton calms him down. Norton towers over Ross and tells him simply... “April 23rd... the job will get done.” 6. Razor Ramon defeated Greg Robinson in 2:13 following the Razors Edge. During the match, Carlos Vega shared pre-tape comments saying that he will wake Razor Ramon up and make the Bad Guy return to his previous evil mindset. 7. Quebecer Jacques defeated Marty Jannetty in 7:04 when Pierre hit Jannetty with a hockey stick shot when Jannetty went for a top rope fist drop.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 4/17/1994 1. Ron Simmons defeated Beau Beverly in 3:05 following a spine buster. During the match, WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel and Tamara came out to ringside and kissed to taunt Simmons, which didn't work. 2. Ted DiBiase/British Bulldog Promo Video: The video starts off with DiBiase's comments from RAW and how he is seeking to win over Bulldog's wife. We also see the response from Bulldog on Superstars. Can DiBiase continue to get under the Hart Family skin or will Bulldog be able to shut DiBiase up once and for all? 3. Crush defeated Jeremy Sydal in 2:57 with the Kona Vice. 4. The Steiner Brothers defeated AJ Fatal & Mike Bell in 4:18 when Scott pinned Fatal. 5. Razor Ramon Promo Video: The video starts off with Ramon's victory over Shawn Michaels to become the WWF Intercontinental Champion in late '93 only to hold it for a month and lose it to Rick Martel. His failed attempts at winning the title back and his loss to Bigelow at WrestleMania X. The video turns to Carlos Vega and some of his comments about being the man who made Ramon the toughest man in Miami and how Ramon has made him disappointed to be associated with him. Can Ramon get back on track or will Carlos Vega influence Ramon's career? 6. Jerry Lawler defeated Jack Riley in 3:08 following a piledriver. 7. WWF World Tag Team Champions Diesel & Shawn Michaels defeated Men on a Mission in 8:55 when Diesel pinned Mo following a powerbomb. After the match, the Steiner Brothers ran down and began to brawl with the champions until several officials came out to break them up.
Note from Bob: The next show will be the Boston Garden house show!

Hey Bob... Great work as usual. One little nit-pick though, if I may: Davey Boy's wife's name is Diana - not "Diane." No big deal, just pointing it out.
Anyway, I can't wait for your first IYH show, and more importantly, the identity of Flair's masked sidekick. Thank you so much for keeping up with this.

Solid work as always. I'm also looking forward to In Your House. I can't believe you retreated on the Undertaker/Lex Luger casket match but I guess you decided to do that at a later date. Still, good work and keep it up!

WWF Monday Night RAW Give me time with this, fell behind with this diary. Checked over a few things, really cool to see Undertaker with the strap and In Your House coming up. Fair way to start RAW with Bret Hart picking up the win and fending off an attack from IRS. Loved the DiBiase promo on the King's Court. You've done such an awesome job with DiBiase in this diary, making him such a cruel bastard. Good wins for Jeff Jarrett and the WWF Champion, Undertaker. I can see Luger getting his rematch for the title at King of the Ring, expecting Undertaker to hold the title until at least Summerslam however. Nice Hogan interview with Hogan making his promises to get the masked man and Ric Flair. A rematch at Summerslam seems likely right now. Finally, good wins for Scott Norton and Rick Martel to finish the show.
WWF Superstars Good win for Randy Savage to kick off the show. Hey, it's Raven! I mean Johnny Polo. Borga versus Savage at In Your House should be fun. Enjoyed the interview from the British Bulldog, once again the DiBiase/Hart feud is grabbing my interest the most. IRS getting the win for the fine. Headshrinkers with the win, well that's just incredible. (Get it? Get it? Get it?) Like the segment with Scott Norton, and how Jarrett went off on JR before Scott delivered one line. Nice win for Razor Ramon, really looking forward to how the whole thing with Vega works out. Lastly, a decent win for Jacques over Marty Jannetty in the main event.
WWF Wrestling Challenge Ron Simmons picking up the win along with the post match stuff with Rick Martel and Tamara was a fine way to start the show. Liked the video packages throughout the show between the DiBiase/Bulldog one and the Razor Roman one; especially the part with Carlos Vega. Nice wins for the Steiner Brothers and Crush. Alright with Jerry Lawler taking the victory. Good way to close out the show with the tag team champions defeating Men on a Mission. Liked the brawl ending it. Overall, a solid week of shows, excited for the Boston show.

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 11th April 1994...So for whatever reason, my replies to RAW and Superstars weren't posted with the Wrestling Challenge review. So here's those missing shows' feedback. Bret Hart with the win in the opening contest was a nice way to kick off the show, and a feud with Irwin R. Schyster sounds fine, but hopefully is cut short at In Your House: I think at this point I've had enough of Bret engaging in warfare with Money Inc. Ted Dibiase on the King's Court was good, and I liked his talking down to British Bulldog, and how he'd buy Diana Hart's affection as well. I'd have maybe changed the format to include this later in the show though, so far it's purely been the Hart Family vs Money Inc build. I know they're both promoting two different matches for In Your House, but they're still quite close together. Jeff Jarrett and the Undertaker had good wins, and RAW is looking the business tonight; I'm enjoying this altered format a lot. Lex Luger's comments towards the Undertaker was nice, but I can't see old Lex getting another WWF Championship for the time being, at least. Bam Bam Bigelow and the Undertaker's promo video essentially gave the viewer a reminder of what they'd been through together throughout 1993; good work. Hulk Hogan had an interview too? Big episode. I'm suspecting that Hogan will be feuding with the Masked Man going into King of the Ring, followed by a final blow-off match with Ric Flair at either SummerSlam or WrestleMania XI. I wonder if Flair will ever leave the World Wrestling Federation; he can't stay on being a part-timer for long. Scott Norton had a fair establishing win, and a great main event with Rick Martel picking up the victory against Tatanka slyly: although I do think Martel should have won somewhat cleanly, with this No Disqualification match against Ron Simmons moving closer. A great episode of RAW here, perhaps the most packed of the year so far.
WWF Superstars: Saturday 16th April 1994...Randy Savage had a fair win in the opening contest, a big way to kick things off. Johnny Polo is now the manager of Ludvig Borga? I could get behind that, although I can't see Borga getting anywhere in the WWF just yet. Not against Savage, at least. I'm hoping you wait to pull the trigger on this feud for May's In Your House, if there is one. British Bulldog and Diana Hart's promo was quite nice, though I currently suspect Diana turning on Davey Boy Smith in favor of Ted Dibiase. Hopefully that's not the case, though; like I said with the RAW review, I've just about had enough of the Hart Family/Money Inc program: it's time for something new shortly. Irwin R. Schyster's win made him look credible against Bret Hart; and an alright win for the Headshrinkers - whom I hope manage to win the WWF Tag Team Championships once before the year's end. I quite enjoyed their work. Scott Norton's interview was nice, and I suspect he'll get the win against Mr Perfect at In Your House. I did like Jeff Jarrett playing the role as the whiny little heel here, though. Has Perfect ever been able to Perfect Plex someone as big as Norton? That'd be a cool selling point... Razor Ramon with the win was fine, and Carlos Vega's interaction with Ramon thus far has been very entertaining: much better a heel than a face, as this character has more of a shelf life, I do believe. Quebecer Jacques beating Marty Jannetty was an acceptable main event, but nothing too special. Overall, a fair episode of Superstars.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 17th April 1994...Ron Simmons with a win against Beau Beverly was fine, good win with Rick Martel getting a glance of what's to come next Sunday at In Your House. I still can't imagine Simmons as a WWF Intercontinental Champion, though. Ted Dibiase and British Bulldog's promo got the feud over, nicely done. I like how you're beginning to enforce these video packages into shows, it makes it easier for the reader to sink their teeth into. Crush & the Steiner Brothers had fine wins, not a lot to add here. Razor Ramon's promo with input from Carlos Vega was intriguing. This is introducing Vega very well, he rightfully should have debuted as a heel honestly. More of a shelf-life. Jerry Lawler had a win, I think it could've gone to someone else though. Lawler's already getting TV time with the King's Court on RAW every week. And lastly, good win for the WWF Tag Team Champions, Diesel and Shawn Michaels against the massive Men on a Mission. I liked the Steiner Brothers brawling with them to close the show, makes the C-show seem exciting and unpredictable. A good week for WWF television, looking forward to the Boston Garden show.

World Wrestling Federation Boston Garden Date: 4/17/1994 From: Boston, MA Attendance: 13, 830 Announcers: Vince McMahon & Bobby Heenan Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan welcome everyone to the WWF on NESN for a live event at the famous Boston Garden! McMahon hypes up the show which will feature a tag team main event that will see WWF World Champion the Undertaker team with Razor Ramon to take on Lex Luger and Bam-Bam Bigelow! Also, the WWF World Tag Team Championships will be defended when Diesel and Shawn Michaels defend against the Steiner Brothers! Heenan chimes in to say that Luger and Bigelow will take care of business and put the team of the Undertaker and Ramon six feet under. Heenan also believes that the gold will stay with Diesel and Michaels because the Steiner Brothers are morons and don't know what to takes to beat them! Jerry Lawler's music hits to start the show and the King walks out with a microphone. He talks about how the people in Boston talk funny and support nothing but losers. So, naturally they are going to root for his opponent tonight, Ron Simmons. Lawler says he doesn't care how many muscles Simmons has, the King isn't going to stay down long enough to lose. Opening Contest: Jerry Lawler vs. Ron Simmons: Simmons hammers away on Lawler as the bell rings and the fans are fully behind Simmons to put Lawler in his place! Simmons hit a snap power slam for a near fall and Lawler bailed to the apron. Lawler got the advantage by dropping Simmons throat first across the top rope. Lawler's offense was rather basic keeping Simmons on the mat and hitting a back breaker. Late in the bout, Simmons backdrops Lawler to counter a pile driver attempt and puts the King away with a spine buster for the win! (Ron Simmons over Jerry Lawler, 7:25, **1/4) After the match, Simmons plays to the crowd and signals that the WWF Intercontinental Championship is going to be his next Saturday night at In Your House. Backstage, Todd Pettengill is talking to the Steiner Brothers. They are prepared for tonight and believe that they will win the WWF World Tag Team Championships tonight instead of on April 23rd! Backstage, Mean Gene is with the WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Michaels laughs at the suggestion that the gold will be leaving them tonight. He knows that they are the better team and they will be proven tonight and on April 23rd. Second Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champions Diesel & Shawn Michaels vs. the Steiner Brothers: Shawn and Rick started the match with Rick getting the better of Michaels with several go behind take downs and a back suplex. Michaels poked Rick in the eyes to get the cheap advantage and kept control with a scoop slam. Shawn and Diesel worked over Rick in the corner with strikes until Diesel brought him out of the corner to hit a side slam for a near fall. Diesel continued his attack by dropping Rick throat first across the top rope and face first across the top turnbuckle. Rick is able to duck a big boot and hit an overhead belly to belly suplex. That allowed Rick to tag in Scott who entered and cleaned house clotheslining Diesel and knocking Michaels off the apron. Scott pummels Diesel in the corner as the fans are pumped. Scott misses an attack in the corner and Diesel hits a vertical suplex. Diesel comes off the ropes to hit a leg drop for a near fall. Diesel chokes Scott in the corner before tagging in Michaels. Michaels enters and begins to deliver jabs and sends Scott into the ropes to deliver a back elbow shot. Michaels plants Scott with a pile driver and heads to the top rope for an elbow drop but Rick distracts him and Scott is able to get up and tosses Michaels off the middle rope with an overhead belly to belly suplex! Scott gets up and sends Michaels into the ropes where he looks to hit a double under hook suplex, but Diesel enters and nailed Scott with one of the championships to cause a disqualification. After the match, Rick Steiner enters and punches Diesel to the floor and backdrops Michaels over the top onto Diesel! (Steiner Brothers over Diesel & Michaels by DQ, 10:08, ***)Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Scott Norton and Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett continues to get aggravated when Pettengill talks about Jarrett failing to beat Perfect at WrestleMania X. Jarrett tells Pettengill that Norton will put Perfect in his place and it's likely that Perfect won't even make it to April 23rd! Third Contest: Mr. Perfect vs. Scott Norton: Jarrett tries to attack Perfect before the bell, but Perfect is able to side step him and sends Jarrett over the top to the floor. Norton clubs Perfect from behind to get the early advantage. Norton is working over Perfect's lower back with several forearm strikes. Norton slams Perfect down to the mat and drives his knee into his lower back several times. Norton connects with two back breakers but can't get a three count. Norton picks Perfect up but Perfect begins to fight back with right hands and a standing dropkick. Perfect charges towards the corner but Norton avoids him and hits a gut buster to regain control. Late in the match, Norton goes for a shoulder breaker, but Perfect wiggles out and hits a neck breaker for a two count. Perfect comes off the ropes but Jarrett trips him and pulls Perfect to the floor. Norton distracts the referee while Jarrett sends Perfect into the ring post and ring steps! The referee counts Perfect out and Norton wins by count-out. (Scott Norton over Mr. Perfect by count-out, 7:23, **1/4) After the match, Jarrett and Norton taunt the fans until Perfect slides in with a steel chair and whacks both men over the back to send them to the floor and the crowd chants for Perfect! Fourth Contest: Doink the Clown vs. Owen Hart: Doink squirts water into Owen's face and is met with a series of right hands for doing so. Owen pulls Doink's jacket over his head and pummels him with right uppercuts. Owen sends Doink into the ropes and hit a spinning heel kick for a near fall. Doink bails to the floor where Owen takes Doink out with a slingshot cross body on the floor! Owen returns to the ring after rolling Doink in but is kicked in the midsection by Doink. Doink hit a gut wrench suplex for a near fall. Doink continues his offense with a snap suplex and reverse neck breaker for a near fall. Doink heads to the top rope but Owen crotches Doink and manages to hit a superplex! Owen hits a side Russian leg sweep and a back breaker for a near fall. Late in the match, Owen tried for the Sharpshooter but Doink was able to power out of it and Owen goes shoulder first into the ring post. Owen staggers out and Doink hits a German suplex. Doink heads to the top and hits the Whoopee Cushion to win the match! (Doink the Clown over Owen Hart, 8:46, ***) After the match, Doink taunts the fans while Owen has a hard time getting to his feet. Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with Ted DiBiase and IRS. Gene hypes up there match with Bret Hart and British Bulldog. DiBiase tells Gene that tonight he gets to get revenge on Bret Hart and a chance to impress Diana when he beats Bulldog a week before their singles match. IRS chimes in to say that Money Inc. hasn't lost a step and they will prove they are the greatest tag team to ever compete in the World Wrestling Federation. Backstage, Todd Pettengill is standing with Bret Hart and the British Bulldog. Pettengill asks Bret how he feels about competing again against a man who impacted his life so greatly for the past eight months. Bret tells Pettengill that he took care of DiBiase at WrestleMania X, but he is here for Bulldog and for his sister, Diana, now. Bulldog chimes in to say that DiBiase failed at beating Bret and he will fail at beating the British Bulldog. He is going to issue just a taste of what DiBiase should expect at In Your House on April 23rd. Fifth Contest: Money Inc. vs. Bret Hart & the British Bulldog: Bret and IRS start the match with both men trading mat wrestling holds. IRS gets the cheap advantage with a back elbow and scoop slams Bret down to get the control of the bout. IRS works over Bret's left shoulder for a few moments and gets a near fall. IRS misses a clothesline and Bret connects with a hooking clothesline to get the momentum in his favor. Bret takes IRS over with snap suplex for a near fall. Moments later, Bret attempts a dropkick but IRS holds onto the ropes to cause Bret to crash down to the mat. IRS delivers a back breaker and tags out to DiBiase. DiBiase lets out a laugh before he stomps away on Bret and drives the Hitman down to the canvas with a vertical suplex. DiBiase continues his offense with a double axe handle off the middle rope and proceeds to taunt Bulldog. DiBiase tries for the Million Dollar Dream but Hart is able to ram DiBiase back first into a corner to break free. Hart ducks under a clothesline and nearly pins DiBiase with a crucifix roll up. Bret continued his offense with a running bulldog and tagged in Bulldog. DiBiase stumbled to his feet and retreated upon seeing Bulldog and tagged in IRS. IRS hesitated getting into the ring but Bulldog slingshot him into the ring anyway! DiBiase decides to ditch IRS and walks towards the back while Bulldog plants IRS with a running powerslam to win the match! (Bret Hart & the British Bulldog over Money Inc., 10:42, **1/2) After the match, IRS rolls to the floor wondering what happened to DiBiase. In the ring, Bulldog and Hart celebrate the victory. Sixth Contest: Marty Jannetty vs. Quebecer Pierre: Jannetty wastes no time when he took both Pierre and Johnny Polo out with a slingshot cross body on the floor. Jannetty sent Pierre back into the ring and went to the top rope but Polo held his foot to allow Pierre to get up and hit a superplex for a near fall. Pierre followed up his offense with a senton splash. Pierre attempted a jumping DDT but Jannetty got out of the hold and hit a hurricanrana for a two count. Jannetty also dropkicked Polo off the apron to prevent interference. Pierre ended up getting some solid offense in that included a Samoan Drop and an exploder suplex. However, late in the match Jannetty got out of a powerbomb to hit a reverse neck breaker Jannetty jumped off the top and hit a fist drop to win the match. (Marty Jannetty over Quebecer Pierre, 7:58, **3/4) Backstage, Mean Gene is talking to Razor Ramon. Gene brings up how this is Razor's second match since returning from his brutal match with Bigelow at WrestleMania X. Razor tells Gene that he is recharged and the Bad Guy is back stronger, faster and better than ever. Ramon says that he has the toughest guy he knows as his partner and looks forward to beating Luger and Bigelow all around the Boston Garden! Seventh Contest: Randy Savage vs. Crush: Crush gets the early advantage on Savage with several right hands in the corner and hit a side slam for a near fall early on. Crush focused on Randy's lower back and delivered a back breaker for a two count. Crush followed up with a vertical suplex and a middle rope knee drop but couldn't put Savage away. Savage was able to avoid a middle rope fist drop and made his comeback with a series of clotheslines and a scoop slam. Savage jumps off the top rope and hit a double axe handle for a near fall. Late in the match, Ludvig Borga came out to distract Savage but Crush ended up colliding with Borga and Savage was able to roll Crush up for the win! (Randy Savage over Crush, 7:22, **1/2) After the match, Borga enters the ring and attacks Savage. Borga is able to hit a shoulder breaker two times. Borga and Crush stand over Savage to end the segment. Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with Bam-Bam Bigelow and Lex Luger. Bigelow talks about how he has beaten both the Undertaker and Razor Ramon and he knows what it takes to beat them. Luger chimes in to say that their combined strength will be no match. Luger also notes that the WWF World Championship will be coming back to him one way or another. Bigelow looks at Luger and scoffs at that comment before they head to the ring. Main Event: WWF World Champion the Undertaker & Razor Ramon vs. Lex Luger & Bam-Bam Bigelow: Luger and Ramon started the match with Luger wanting to do a test of strength. Ramon followed through with it and Luger got the better of Ramon for a few moments. Razor got to his feet but Luger controlled him following a knee lift to the midsection. Luger keeps the offense basic with right hands before hitting a power slam for a near fall. Ramon is able to duck a clothesline and drops Luger with a series of right hands and a discus clothesline of his own. Luger is able to prevent Ramon from tagging out and holds Ramon down to tag in Bigelow. Bigelow controls Ramon in the corner with a series of shoulder rams. Bigelow attempts a spear in the corner but Ramon side steps Bigelow and he hits the ring post shoulder first! Ramon gets a near fall after a back suplex. The Undertaker is tagged in and he enters to thrust Bigelow several times and scares Luger off the apron. Taker sends Bigelow into the ropes and hits a leaping clothesline followed by a side slam for a near fall. Taker tries to walk the top rope but Bigelow is able to yank the champ off and sends Taker crashing down to the canvas to get the advantage. Bigelow gets up and hits a vertical suplex before tagging in Luger who quickly hammers away on Taker to keep the advantage. Luger pummels Taker in the corner and turns his back to taunt the fans. That allows Taker to grab Luger by the throat and toss him into the corner where he delivers with a flurry of punches. Taker clotheslines Luger in the corner and walks the top rope to jump down across Luger's shoulders. Late in the match, the Undertaker prevents Luger from sliding a chair into the ring and they brawl on the floor. Ramon tries to hit the Razor's Edge but Bigelow backdrops out of it and manages to powerbomb Ramon! Bigelow climbs to the top and hits a flying head butt. Luger prevents Taker from entering the ring and Bigelow pins Ramon for the win! (Bam-Bam Bigelow & Lex Luger over the Undertaker & Razor Ramon, 14:05, ***) After the match, the Undertaker sends Luger into the ring post to break free from him and enters the ring only for Bigelow to bail to the floor. The Undertaker poses for the crowd over a fallen Ramon while Bigelow and Luger retreat backstage the victors of the main event. [/font]

World Wrestling Federation News:
- According to sources, officials are high on Scott Norton. They like his size and believe that he can be a main event guy in the future for them. It is expected that Jeff Jarrett will remain by his side and be manager for him to do the talking. Jarrett will continue to compete as well. - Doink the Clown is expected to get extra television tine and a push. Matt Bourne, who plays the character, has been doing a great job with the character and recently pitched an idea to get involved on the programs. The pitch was accepted and it is likely that Doink will have a match at the SummerSlam event. - It has been confirmed that the winner of the 1994 King of the Ring will get a title shot at SummerSlam in August. This appears to be a yearly tradition since Lex Luger won last year and won the WWF World Championship at SummerSlam. - John Tenta, known as Earthquake, may not return to the WWF. He was last seen in November of 1993 and was scheduled to return by Februrary 1994. His contract expires in July and it's being reported that he is looking to jump ship to WCW. - The feud between Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair is expected to last a while. The general thought it that Hogan and Flair will be competing in tag matches against each other with Flair's masked man involved. The idea is that the tag matches will be able to carry the feud leading to another mega showdown at WrestleMania XI. Plans are always likely to change. - Ted DiBiase is scheudled to hang up the boots at WrestleMania XI. Officials are hoping to have him stick around as a manager for several talents at that point. - Qualifying matches for the King of the Ring tournament are expected to start on May 2nd. The belief is that the qualifying matches, all eight of them, will be shown throughout the month and the tournament should be set by early June. - There are rumors circulating that Glenn Jacobs, known in SMW as Unabomber, could be making his way to the WWF soon. - RAW will officially become a two hour program the night after King of the Ring. Typically, the show has between eight to nine segments on the program right now, which is an hour. When they move to two hours, that number will be doubled. This has been done to get more talent on the show, which is the higest rated program of the three shows. - WWF has been in talks with USA in adding a fourth show, named Action Zone. This would be aired on Sunday evenings. The show would also be a live pre-show for the pay per views and would be an hour long.

I just got caught up to date on this sim over the past few days and I must say... you are doing a fantastic job! I could definitely see all of these events transpiring in the WWF in 1993/1994. I love the idea of the house shows and your graphics are fantastic as well. Crisp and clean... keep up the great job!

I was at WM 11. If I saw a Hogan-Flair match, it would've been awesome. I really wish your diary was reality, because it continues to be really damn good

Week 16: April 18th - April 24th
WWF RAW 4/18/1994 1. Yokozuna defeated PJ Walker & Barry Horowitz in 2:45 when he pinned Walker. After the match, Yokozuna stacked the jobbers onto each other and looked to hit a Bonzai Drop until Tatanka ran out and made the save. 2. The British Bulldog defeated Dave Sanderson in 2:17 following a running powerslam. During the match, Ted DiBiase appeared from the backstage area and watched Bulldog with an evil grin on his face. What does he have in store for us at In Your House this weekend? 3. Kings Court w/ Carlos Vega: Jerry Lawler welcomed us to “America's number one talk show” King's Court. His guest this week is newcomer Carlos Vega who has made it evident that he has some business with fan favorite Razor Ramon. Lawler introduces Vega, who comes out dressed nicely with a suite and a cigar in his mouth. Vega shakes Lawler's hand before the start of the interview. Lawler asks for Vega to tell us about what history he has with Ramon. Vega proceeds to tell us that he is the man who molded Razor Ramon into a Bad Guy. They were part of the same Miami gang that ran the area for a decade. But, now he sees that Ramon has gone soft and listens to the same people they would beat on the streets. Vega tells Lawler that he is disgusted and ashamed of Ramon for what he has become, and he is in the WWF to make his people proud and in the process either take Ramon out or remind him of who he really is. That being said, Vega announces that he is going to be generous and give Ramon two weeks from tonight to make up his mind. “Razor, you can either come back to the family, or you can expect to feel a wrath you will forget or survive.” Lawler laughs at the end out of happinness after hearing that Razor has a tough decision to make! 4. Chris Benoit defeated Don Mosby in 2:55 following a German suplex. During the match, Owen Hart shared some comments saying that he as a bad taste in his mouth after losing to Benoit at WrestleMania X. Owen is looking for another chance to show Benoit he is better than him. 5. Marty Jannetty & the Kamikaze Kid defeated Mike Sharpe & Dave Strickland in 3:04 when Kid pinned Sharpe following a moonsault. 6. In Your House Report: Todd Pettengill runs down the card for the event and announces that two surprise bonus matches will be added to the show! Make sure to tune into this special Saturday evening pay per view! You are surely not going to want to miss this one! So, call your local provider and tune in! 7. Ron Simmons defeated Keith Johnson in 2:28 following a spine buster. During the match, WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel's valet Tamara cut a promo saying that he rman will not lose the championship this weekend. She tells us that Martel not only has the amazing good looks, but knows what it takes to beat the big goof, Ron Simmons and he will do it again! 8. IRS defeated Bart Gunn in 6:11 following a lariat.
WWF Superstars 4/23/1994 1. Ludvig Borga defeated Mo in 3:09 following a shoulder breaker. 2.Tatanka Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Tatanka regarding what happened on RAW this past Monday. Tatanka says he is sick and tired of seeing the big guys in the WWF, especially the guys in Polo's group take advantage of the smaller wrestlers. Tatanka knows he was on the winning team at WrestleMania X but now he wants a piece of them all in singles action. He figures to start at the top and that's with Yokozuna! Tatanka suggests that Yokozuna find the little bit of courage he has and meet him in the squared circle. Tatanka warns Yokozuna that with the people behind him, the almighty Yokozuna will suffer an almighty loss! 3. The Headshrinkers defeated Hank Stone & AJ Fatal in 2:36 when Fatu pinned Fatal after a top rope splash. During the bout, the Quebecers shared some thoughts saying that they believe that the Headshrinkers and themselves can work together and beat the foursome of Men on a Mission and the Smoking Gunns next week on the Wrestling Challenge. 4. Owen Hart defeated Tim Timmons in 2:19 following a missile dropkick. 5. Doink the Clown Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Doink the Clown ans asks why Doink asked for this interview time. Doink starts off laughing but the laughter subsides and he becomes rather serious. Doink says that for the past several months he has been quiet and hasn't hurt people with his pranks, which McMahon thinks is a good thing. But, Doink says that he has an idea. He thinks he knows a prank that will remembered for years to come and people will never forget Doink the Clown. Vince asks what the prank is, but Doink tells him that a clown never reveals his plans... and then proceeds to burst out into laughter. 6. Razor Ramon defeated Joey Cage in 2:06 following the Razors Edge. 7. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel defeated Mike Evans in 2:07 with the Boston Crab.
WWF In Your House #1 Date: 4/23/1994 Attendance: 9,000 From: Syracuse, New York Announcers: Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan
A video promoting the main event between WWF World Champion the Undertaker and Bam-Bam Bigelow kicks off the show. It highlights the history between the two and the question is asked.. can Bigelow beat the Undertaker with the biggest prize of them all on the line?
Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan welcome everyone to the show. McMahon hypes the show and says tonight will be a big night. Heenan agrees because the Dead Man's run as champion will burst into flames thanks to Bam-Bam Bigelow! Also, the British Bulldog looks to get revenge of his own against Ted DiBiase. Heenan thinks tonight DiBiase will put the Bulldog to sleep and take his wife in the process too! McMahon thinks that is a ridiculous statement. The show kicks off with the first of two bonus matches!
Opening Contest: The Quebecers vs. the Smoking Gunns: Jacques and Bart kicked off the bout with Bart getting the better of Jacques with a series of right hands, a dropkick and a gorilla press slam. Jacques backed away into a corner and delivered a cheap kick to Bart's lower midsection to get the advantage and hit a neckbreaker to keep Bart down on the canvas. Jacques hit a back breaker and tagged in Pierre who hit a top rope leg drop for a two count. Pierre continued his offense with a belly to belly suplex nd a vertical suplex. Bart managed to block a backdrop with a face buster. Bart is able to kick Pierre away and hit a snap powerslam before tagging in Billy. Billy hammers away on both Quebecers and sends Jacques to the floor with a clothesline. Pierre clubs Billy from behind but Billy counters an Irish whip with a spinning spinebuster for a near fall. Late in the match, the Quebecers miss a double team splash off the top. Pierre is sent to the floor and the Gunns are able to hit a side walk slam/legdrop on Jacques for the win. (The Smoking Gunns over the Quebecers, 8:15, ***)
Backstage, Mean Gene is talking with Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton. Norton is flexing his large arms while Jarrett is grinning ear to ear. Jarrett tells Gene that tonight Norton isn't going to get screwed over like he did at WrestleMania X. Jeff is confident that tonight Norton will break Mr. Perfect in half!
Second Contest: Mr. Perfect vs. Scott Norton: Prior to the bout, Perfect chases after Jarrett around ringisde but is met with a vicious clothesline by Norton on the floor. Norton tosses Perfect into the guard railing and drops him face first over the ring steps. This causes the referee to send Jarrett to the backstage area! Norton is able to use his advantage for several minutes and uses his strenght advantage to take Perfect down to the mat with a series of powerslams and a belly to back suplex. Norton misses a middle rope splash and that gives Perfect a window to get some offense in. Perfect hammers away on Norton. Perfect comes off the ropes and hits a knee lift to Norton's chin to stagger the big man. Late in the match, Perfect went for the Perfect Plex but Norton easily countered it and hit a shoulder breaker to win the match! (Scott Norton over Mr. Perfect, 8:45, **1/2)
A video promoting the feud between Ted DiBiase and the Hart Family is shown dating back to late 1993.
Backstage, Mean Gene is with the British Bulldog and his wife Diana. Bulldog tells Gene that tonight is the end of DiBiase and the end of the evil millionaire messing with the Hart Family. Bulldog assures his wife that he will make sure DiBiase pays for bringing her into the mix, too.
Third Contest: the British Bulldog vs. Ted DiBiase: Bulldog hammers away on DiBiase before the bell and knocks him to the floor with a clothesline. Bulldog sends DiBiase into the ropes and hit a gorilla press slam causing DiBiase to bail to the floor. While on the floor, Ted goes towards Diana, but Bulldog goes to the floor to protect her. DiBiase out smarts Bulldog by sending him face first into the ring steps Back in the ring, DiBiase controls Bulldog by stomping on his face and controls him with a headlock. DiBiase plants Bulldog with a piledriver moments later but can't keep him down long enough. DiBiase leaps off the middle rope but is punched in the midsection by Bulldog who follows up with a miltary press slam! Bulldog follows up with a series of clotheslines and signals for the running powerslam. IRS comes out to distract Bulldog but Bret Hart runs out and brawls with IRS causing the referee to get distracted on the floor! Diana Smith gets on the apron and tells Bulldog she wants to get a piece of DiBiase! Bulldog tries to control her but she is demanding it! Bulldog turns around to grab DiBiase and is low blowed by his wife! DiBiase takes this time to lock in the Million Dollar Dream! Bulldog tries to get to his feet but he crashes to the canvas and he is out cold! (Ted DiBiase over the British Bulldog, 10:54, ***.) After the match, Ted DiBiase gets to his feet and lets out a trademark laugh. Diana gets into the ring and just stares at Bulldog, who is laid out on the canvas. DiBiase puts his arm around Diana's waist and they proceed to kiss right over Bulldog's fallen body!
A video promoting the match between WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel and Ron Simmons is shown. Can Simmons take the gold away?
Fourth Contest: WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel vs. Ron Simmons: Martel runs away from Simmons on the floor but gets in the ring and runs into a snap powerslam by the challenger. Simmons just pummels Martel in the corner and is pulled off by the referee. Martel gets a lace out of his boot and ducks a clothesline so he can choke Simmons from behind. Martel beats down Simmons with several strikes and a back breaker for a near fall. Tamara hands Martel a chair and Martel rams the chair into Simmons midsection before whacking the challenger over the back as well. Martel charges towards a corner with the chair in hand but Simmons avoids the champ, and Martel splashes the corner with the chair in hand. Simmons grabs Martel and hits a spinebuster but Tamara breaks up the pin attempt to save Martel's championship. Simmons scares Tamara out of the ring and hits Martel with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Simmons continues his offense with a reverse neckbreaker. Late in the match, Simmons looks for a powerbomb but Tamara enters the ring and holds his leg. Martel breaks free and while Simmons is trying to get Tamara off of him, Martel low blows Simmons with the steel chair! Martel grabs the WWF Intercontinental Championship and leaps off the middle rope to hit Simmons over the head with the gold to win the match! (Rick Martel over Ron Simmons, 12:29, ***).
Backstage, Todd Pettengill is standing with Ludvig Borga and Johnny Polo. Todd asks about Borga's upcoming match with Randy Savage. Polo doesn't understand Randy Savage and his way of thinking. Polo is confused as to how Savage could ever think he could survive stepping into the ring with Borga again. Polo says that Borga is going to take Savage out for good and America will realize that they aren't as good as they think they are!
Fifth Contest: Randy Savage vs. Ludvig Borga: Savage attacks Borga before the bell and knocks him off his feet with a clothesline. Borga stops Savage by sending him shoulder first into the corner and delivered a backbreaker. Borga continues his attack with a delayed vertical suplex and a knee drop off the middle rope. Borga focuses his attack on Savage's shoulder and lower back. Savage punches his way out of a powerbomb and nearly pins Borga. Late in the match, Johnny Polo accidentally hits Borga with a hockey stick and that allowed Savage to scoop slam Borga. After knocking Polo off the apron, Savage heads to the top rope and hit the flying elbow drop to win the match. (Randy Savage over Ludvig Borga, **1/2, 9:13)
A video promoting the feud between WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & Diesel agianst the Steiner Brothers is aired.
Sixth Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & Diesel vs. the Steiner Brothers: The challengers start the match by sending the champions to the floor with clotheslines. Eventually, Michaels and Rick start off the contest with Rick controlling Michaels with mat wrestling and hitting a German suplex for a near fall in the opening minutes of the contest. Rick pummels Michaels in the corner until Michaels poked Rick in the eyes and hit a swinging neck breaker. Michaels stomps away on Rick before tagging in Diesel who hit a big boot and nearly got the pin as a result. Rick is able to duck under a clothesline and powers Diesel over with a big overhead slam! The crowd goes nuts for that. Rick tags in Scott who knocks Shawn off the apron but walks right into a side walk slam by Big Daddy Cool. Diesel tried a choke slam but Scott counters and hits a back suplex. Scott tries to hit a double under hook powerbomb but Michaels chop blocks Scott's knee to help Diesel. Diesel and Michaels double team Scott and Shawn hit a superkick but couldn't pin Scott. Late in the match, Scott plants Michaels with a double underhook slam and tags in Rick who cleans house and plants Michaels with a DDT. Rick climbs to the top and Scott puts Michaels on his shoulders. Diesel shoves Rick off the top and Rick crashes to the floor! Diesel saves Michaels and drops Scott with a big powerbomb! Michaels covers and wins the bout. (Shawn Michaels & Diesel over the Steiner Brothers, 11:27, ***1/2). After the match, referees check on Rick Steiner who is holding his right knee in serious pain.
Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with Bam-Bam Bigelow. Bigelow tells the “old man” to shut his mouth and wants the world to listen to him. Tonight he puts the Undertaker down once and for all. Bigelow is going to walk out the WWF World Championship and there is nothing anyone can do about it!
Seventh Contest: Chris Benoit vs. the Kamikaze Kid: This is the second special bonus contest. Benoit really dominated the smaller Kamikaze Kid and hit him with countless chops and vicious looking overhead suplexs. Benoit also hit a top rope back suplex that wowed the crowd. Kid tried to fight back with a spinning heel kick and a middle rope senton splash. Kid attempted a moonsault but Benoit moved out of the way and put Kid away with a bridging German suplex for the win. (Chris Benoit over the Kamikaze Kid, 5:48, ***).
A video promoting the year history between the Undertaker and Bam-Bam Bigelow is aired.
Main Event: WWF World Champion the Undertaker vs. Bam-Bam Bigelow: They start off the show trading right hands with Taker getting the better of the exchange. Taker attempts a leaping clothesline but Bigelow side steps the champion and hits a falling head butt to gain the advantage. Bigelow scoop slams Taker and comes off the ropes to hit a senton splash for a one count. Bigelow sends Taker into the corner and hits two big splashes causing Taker to crumble out of the corner. Bigelow scoop slams Taker but only gets a near fall. Bigelow attempted a neckbreaker but Taker countered and hip tossed Bigelow over. Taker backs the challenger into a corner and delivered several body shots. Taker hip tosses Bigelow out of the corner and follows up with a leaping clothesline he missed earlier in the match. Moments later, Taker walks the top rope and jumps across Bigelow's shoulder. Taker signals for a choke slam but Bigelow elbows out of it and plants Taker with a reverse neckbreaker. Bigelow heads to the top rope but misses a diving headbutt! Taker hits a choke slam but Bigelow gets his foot on the bottom rope! Taker signals for the tombstone and has Bigelow set up. Lex Luger makes his way down to the ring and distracts the champ causing Bigelow to reverse the move and hit the tombstone! Bigelow covers Taker but can't get the three. Luger gets on the apron and yells at Bigelow. Taker sits up. Luger wants Bigelow to send Taker into his steel plated forearm. Bigelow tries to d that but Taker counters and sends Bigelow into Luger. Taker picks Bigelow up and hits the tombstone! Taker covers and wins the match! (The Undertaker over Bam-Bam Bigelow, 12:09, ***). After the match, Taker poses with the belt while Bigelow and Luger argue on the floor to close the show.

Another good week of WWF programing here, especially the pay-per-view. Nice win for the Gunns, I can see them challenging for the tag team titles in the near future. Too bad it looks like the Quebcers aren't getting the belts anytime soon. Looks like Norton is in line for a solid push after his near clean win over Perfect. Good match between Bulldog and DiBiase with a surprising twist; I didn't expect Diana to turn against her husband and side with DiBiase, just have to see hwo this goes. I'm curious as to where Ron Simmons goes from here after failing to win the title. This was as good spot as any to give him the title, maybe we'll get some final blowoff down the line. Savage beat Borga in a decent match. The Tag title match was nice with Shawn and Diesel retaining but I see Rick suffered a knee injury. Are the Steiners being written out or just Rick, leaving Scott as a singles wrestler for a time? Benoit over the Kid was a nice contest. Good main event with Taker getting a solid win, but I wonder if Bam Bam and Luger are going to go at it before Luger gets another shot at Taker. Overall a great first IYH card, and I'm anxious to see where you go next.

Alright IYH #1 - Decent start to the event with The Quebecers and Gunns. I think the Gunn's going over is the right choice as they are a logical team to face the tag champs. Big win for Scott Norton over Mr Perfect, wonder what you have in store for him in the future. Good match between Dibiase and Bulldog and the twist at the end was well done and well written. Intercontinental Championship bout was good, I'm feeling Martel's reign is starting to become a bit dry and I don't know what else or who else there is for him. Savage over Borga was a decent contest. Good tag title match, Michaels and Diesel retaining was expected but good, wondering where the Steiner Brothers go from here though, if Rick is injured I'd like to Scott in some good singles feuds until Rick comes back. Benoit/KK was decent filler. Finally great way to close out the show with Taker over Bigelow. Interesting that you may be turning Bigelow face as I think that could really work in a feud with Luger.
Overall good IYH and I'm interested to see where you go in the future particularly in the three title pictures. Having the PPV in the middle of your regular writing makes it seem a bit cluttered though, but it's nothing major and it was another solid entry Bob, you always have me wanting more keep it up.

Great first IYH, Bob. I was disappointed with the result of the Intercontinental match. I'm starting to feel sorry for Simmons. But I do think the Diana Hart-Smith heel turn was unexpected and well done. I also have to say that I'm intrigued by Doink's threat of his upcoming "prank". I wonder if it'll be of the same caliber as to what he did to Crush in real-life '93?
Can't wait to read more on the further adventures of Hogan, Flair, and the masked henchman. Keep up the great work.

WWF @ Boston Gardens: Sunday 17th April 1994...Okay, so essentially this is the big preview show leading into In Your House, let's see what we have. Ron Simmons with a basic win against Jerry Lawler was a crowd-pleasing opening contest for the show. I still don't think that we'll be seeing a new WWF Intercontinental Champion next Saturday night, though. Up next, another semi-pleasing WWF Tag Team Championship defense by Shawn Michaels and Diesel, losing and yet slyly keeping their titles intact on their own terms, good method to get both the Steiner Brothers and the champions over. Meanwhile, Scott Norton beating Mr Perfect by count-out seemed a bit odd, especially immediately following a dirty finish that ended by disqualification. Jeff Jarrett's involvement made it seem a little more acceptable a finish than the one that proceeded it, I guess. Doink the Clown with a win against Owen Hart seemed alright, I imagine that they'd have quite a decent match, both men being really talented. For the main part however, it was more of a filler though, I thought. That's one big tag team match. Bret Hart and the British Bulldog with a clean win against Money Inc was great, and a great tag team match to seemingly mark the dead-centre of this show. Up next, Marty Jannetty and Pierre facing off seemed a bit randomly positioned, I was surprised to not see the Kamikaze Kid or Jacques involved in this one. Jannetty with the win was fine. Razor Ramon seems to be really dwelling on his loss to Bam Bam Bigelow from WrestleMania X, I guess this is what is fuelling Carlos Vega. Randy Savage beating Crush was fine for what it was, the attack from Ludvig Borga made it applicable for build in their feud. And finally, a big-time main event special tag team match with Lex Luger and Bigelow surprisingly picking up the win against the Undertaker and Ramon. I wasn't surprised at you having Razor taking the fall though, keeping the WWF Champion strong prior to his match with Bigelow at In Your House. Overall, a decent show for what it was, but nothing spectacular.
WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 18th April 1994...Yokozuna with a handicap squash win was a fine way to open the show, and Tatanka making the save for the enhancement talents was a nice surprise, even though seeing a double Banzai Drop would be incredible. The British Bulldog and Ted Dibiase had some basic yet effective build prior to their match this weekend at In Your House, I liked that. Oh, so Carlos Vega is a real person and not just Razor Ramon in vignettes, eh? Good interview, further introducing the Vega character to the WWF fans. Chris Benoit and Owen Hart resuming their feud could be good. It sounds silly because both stars are above this right now, but you should consider taking the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship back from Japan and having this feud with Owen and Benoit focused around it, both men vying to be the first ever recrowned champion. Just a thought. Marty Jannetty and the Kamikaze Kid winning re-enforced their teamwork well, as Ron Simmons' win put him over some more growing nearer to the WWF Intercontinental Championship showdown this weekend. Tamara and Rick Martel's promo also added a new found dimension to their relationship, too. Irwin R. Schyster beating Bart Gunn was what it was, not so interesting though. A decent episode of RAW just five days away from In Your House.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 23rd April 1994...Alright, the day of the big show! Ludvig Borga with a win against Mo in that amount of time was a surprise, very different booking for the B-show, to say the least. Tatanka then explaining his actions for saving the enhancement talents from Yokozuna on Monday Night RAW was nice to see, I'd like to see Tatanka get more talk time, he had potential, just not a lot of potential given his amount of talk time over the years. I don't remember a single promo of his. The Headshrinkers still deserve a WWF Tag Team Championship reign in my honest opinion. I say that a year on since I said it initially. An eight-man tag team match for Wrestling Challenge this week? Could be interesting. Doink the Clown's interview was nice, very sinister, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Doink has to offer. Razor Ramon and Rick Martel with wins were fine, not a lot else to add.
WWF In Your House: Saturday 23rd April 1994...I find that graphic to be really realistic for the time frame, good job to whomever made it. Hmm, a bonus match is always cool to see (well, for me) on pay-per-view, but I'm not sure about it opening things up. Sure, the Smoking Gunns and the Quebecers would put on a marvel of a match, but there were several other matches that could have opened and been in a better position I thought. Billy and Bart Gunn with the win however was a crowd-pleasing moment, so why not? Scott Norton with a victory over Mr Perfect got Norton over big-time, but I'm a little split on this, because it reminded me of where Mr Perfect was at the start of the year, in a compelling angle and series of great matches with Lex Luger for the WWF Championship. Times change fast. Up next, the British Bulldog and Ted Dibiase's exchange was heated, but Diana Hart turned on the Hart Family to join Ted!? Very interesting, I just hope that Bret Hart's left out of this one. It'll be interesting to see how you evolve this feud after being alive for approaching three-quarters of a year, between Dibiase and the Hart Family. I disagree with having the WWF Intercontinental Championship match proceed after that eventful angle, but whatever. You should have noted that it was a No Disqualification match in the header I think, I honestly forgot until I read the match description. Martel stealing the victory after a comical weapons match was good enough for me. I would have waited a bit of time to pull the trigger on a pay-per-view match between Randy Savage and Ludvig Borga honestly, the feud was virtually used to set Borga up for three or four weeks before losing to Savage. Hopefully this isn't it for their feud, I sort of liked Borga honestly. Shawn Michaels and Diesel grasping the victory against the Steiner Brothers was nice, a solid WWF Tag Team Championship defense. Chris Benoit and the Kamikaze Kid on pay-per-view? Where do I sign up? A decent, fun little match-up to fill time and amuse fans before the main event. And lastly, as expected, the Undertaker defeats Bam Bam Bigelow to retain the WWF Championship. Good work, as it makes 'Taker look dominant, and I don't think he'll be losing the belt to Lex Luger at In Your House 2, or King of the Ring or whatever show Lex gets his rematch. Overall, a decent pay-per-view, but I think it's just me being too used to the traditional structure of In Your House shows, maybe a few too many matches, and some of the ordering made it seem hard to keep a good flow going. Additionally, consider pulling out on some of these new feuds being put onto pay-per-view, the Savage vs Borga & Perfect vs Norton matches namely felt a bit forced out there.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 24th April 1994...Crush, the Heavenly Bodies and Men on a Mission with victories, not a lot else to say to that. Sparky Plugg debuts tomorrow night? Haha, good old Thurman Plugg. Bret Hart and Jacques sounded like a decent match, overall, un-noteworthy show, which is fine considering it came the day after a pay-per-view and you want your first legitimate fallout show to be the flagship show, RAW. Overall, this week of WWF television was rightfully focused around In Your House, everything else seemed a bit thrown up to reach out to viewers to order the pay-per-view.

Week 17: April 25th - May 1st
WWF RAW 4/25/1994 1. Sparky Plugg defeated Duane Gill in 3:19 following a top rope missile dropkick. After the match, Plugg cut a promo with Jim Ross saying that he is going to be a champion in the ring just as he has been on the race track. 2. Kings Court w/Ted DiBiase & Diana Smith: Jerry Lawler opens the segment talking about In Your House and how big of a event it was. He begins to talk about how great it was to see the British Bulldog embarrassed by Ted DiBiase and his wife, or maybe ex-wife, Diane Smith! Lawler proceeds to introduce his guests this week, Ted DiBiase and Diana Smith! DiBiase has never been happier while Smith is wearing a very nice gold dress. DiBiase holds the ropes open for Smith and when she enters Lawler kisses her hand like she is a queen. Ted laughs into the microphone before saying “Oh, King, what a great night it is to be the Million Dollar Man!” DiBiase talks about beating Bulldog last night and taking the love of his life. DiBiase tells King that Diana Smith was never treated with the proper respect that she deserves and Bulldog could never give her everything she wants and deserves in her life. However, DiBiase can and will do just that! Lawler believes that Bulldog will never show his face out of embarrassment and shame. DiBiase closes out the segment by saying if that is the case, here is a highlight for him at home. Ted grabs Diana and makes out with her to a course of boos! 3. Ludvig Borga defeated Tom Howard in 2:55 following a shoulder breaker. 4. Yokozuna defeated Steve Johnson in 2:16 following the Bonzai Drop. 5. Bob Backlund Arrives: While Vince McMahon is talking about the main event involving Simmons and Jarrett, Bob Backlund comes out of nowhere and grabs a microphone from the ring announcer.

Bigelow is fed up with Luger being self absorbed and tells McMahon that he is going to get his hands on Luger.

Scott says his ultimate goal is to win the WWF World Championship but he has to work his way up to that point and he will do just that. So, he is putting a “certain wannabe model” on notice and that some WWF gold will be Scott Steiner's waist in just a matter of time! 3.

Luger just says that Bigelow wasn't good enough to beat the Undertaker. However, Luger is good enough and when he invokes his rematch clause, he will regain the WWF World Championship. McMahon asks if Luger is going to invoke his rematch clause any time soon, but Luger was non-committal regarding an answer. Luger just told McMahon that since he is perfection, he has to do it at the perfect time with the perfect preparation. 6. Bret Hart defeated Damien Wolf in 2:44 with the Sharpshooter.

Good update here and I can see some good storylines developing for the next In Your House. So Rick Steiner is out and Scott Steiner is going solo for a while. That's cool, Scott could have been a big singles star in the early 90s and it'll be interesting to see what you do with him, especially if he beats Martel for the Intercontinental strap. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lex Luger, that might be an interesting match, and I can see Luger eating Bam Bam to set up a final showdown with The Undertaker. I'm also wondering where the Bulldog goes from here after DiBiase stole his woman. Again some good stuff here, hope to see some more soon.

Can't wait to see these storylines develop more. Scott might do what Ron Simmons couldn't, it'll be interesting to see Steiner's singles run. I'm also intrigued by Bob Backlund, and who he has in mind to (presumably) feud with Simmons. I also have to say I miss the Hogan-Flair feud, and I still can't wait to see who the masked sidekick is.
You have more than enough to keep me reading and I can't wait. Thank you!

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 25th April 1994...I'm starting to think that maybe it's time that you got some new graphics, since these are dated from around spring 1993, now. Sparky Plugg with a win in the opening contest was good, an establishing win for the debuting Thurman Plugg. Ted Dibiase and Diana Smith on the King's Court was a good idea, propelling this extension of an extension of the Hart Family vs Dibiase and Money Inc. Good promo on British Bulldog, as this segment explained Diana's betrayal of her husband; looking forward to an eventual revenge angle. Ludvig Borga and Yokozuna with monster squash wins was fine, not a lot done here. Bob Backlund is back! I liked Backlund talking about Ron Simmons being an American hero, I loved this interruption. Looks like Mr Backlund has lost it, folks. Owen Hart's win was fine, I do like Chris Benoit's words, however. This feud continues, which I suppose is cool with me. Hopefully reaching a closing point shortly, though. Bam Bam Bigelow's interview was great, talking about wanting to get his hands on Lex Luger; a potential face turn after losing to the Undertaker at In Your House? I wouldn't mind that, Bigelow's not got a lot left to do at this point. Ron Simmons with a win against Jeff Jarrett was fine, a decent main event to RAW with inclusion from Bob Backlund, I liked the closing moments. A decent fallout show overall.
WWF Superstars: Saturday 30th April 1994...Marty Jannetty with a win against Jimmy Del Ray was fine, a pretty decent opening contest to the show tonight. Scott Steiner's interview was nice, it's a shame that Rick Steiner is injured, but they had a nice WWF Tag Team Championship reign, so the Steiner Brothers should really focus on new things perhaps. Steiner seems to be being set up for a future shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship, so it seems. Diesel and Shawn Michaels then getting the victory was fine, and the same for Crush. Lex Luger's interview was interesting; I'm reall digging this current main event scene with Bam Bam Bigelow now wanting Luger's head for getting involved in his business with the Undertaker. Luger still not deciding his rematch instatement was a pretty cool, heelish touch. I imagine it'll be SummerSlam when he invokes it. Bret Hart getting the win was fine, and him moving on to feud with Johnny Polo's faction was nice, but I don't think a match should have been announced for In Your House 2. There's no real backstory for why it should happen. Rick Martel against Billy Gunn was a good main event, with the winner being obvious. Not a bad episode again.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 1st May 1994...Irwin R. Schyster with the win was fine, and I'm glad that Scott Norton got himself some air-time, very nice. Norton enforcing his bodyguard role for Jeff Jarrett is a nice touch. Razor Ramon with the win was fine, and I'm wondering where this angle with Savio Vega is going and leading towards. Hank Hamsone? Hilarious name. Doink the Clown getting the win was expected. Tatanka's interview was strange, a feud between Tatanka and Yokozuna shouldn't be bad, I just hope that we get to see some gold around Yoko's waist very soon. The WWF Champion with the victory was a good substitute for a promo to respond to Lex Luger and Bam Bam Bigelow's business with one another, cool. Men on a Mission and the Smoking Gunns defeating the Quebecers and the Headshrinkers made for a solid eight-man tag team main event, and all four teams definitely are under-utilized and I hope to see them challenge the WWF Tag Team Champions very soon. The Headshrinkers then turning face was good. A solid episode, this week of WWF television was a perfect follow-up from In Your House. Nice work.
