WWF Monday Night RAW Decent win for Sparky Plugg to open up the show this week. Great edition of King's Court with Ted DiBiase & Diana Smith. I've must of said how much I love DiBiase in this diary a thousand times. Such a perfect heel. Fine pair of wins for Ludvig Borga & Yokozuna. Enjoyed the segment with Bob Backlund, I like this role and I guess this is leading to a managing spot for him. Owen Hart picking up the win as expected, I'd be down for another match between Benoit and Hart any day. Interesting interview from Bam-Bam Bigelow, irate over his loss last night. Wonder if there's a face turn for Bam-Bam or Lex somewhere down the line. Nice main event with Ron Simmons going over Jeff Jarrett, intrigued to see who Backlund brings in.
WWF Superstars Marty Jannetty with the victory to open up the show is alright. Nice interview from Scott Steiner, looks like he's going after the Intercontinental Championship. Diesel & Shawn Michaels with the win is expected, same for Crush's win. Lex Luger making his intentions to cash in his rematch at the right time known is good, I'm far more interested in the match with Bam-Bam though. Bret Hart picking up the win, Hart versus Crush is the far more interesting story. Sign me up for that. Also, Raven. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel defeating Billy Gunn in the main event is fine.
WWF Wrestling Challenge IRS getting the squash win to open up the show, standard. Liked the Scott Norton interview, interested to where he goes from here. I wouldn't mind him and Jarrett getting a tag title run. Solid win for Razor Ramon in the second bout, really into the storyline with Vega. Basic wins for Doink and the WWF Champion, the Undertaker. Love Undertaker as the WWF Champion - great minds think alike! Good interview with Tatanka, I can see him beating Yokozuna and getting a big push. Big eight man tag main event as the Men on a Mission & the Smoking Gunns beat the Quebecers & the Headshrinkers. Post match interaction between Polo and the Headshrinkers was great too. Overall, not a bad week of television. Just a cool down week after the first ever In Your House.

Week 18: May 2nd - May 8th
WWF RAW 5/2/1994 1. The Headshrinkers defeated Eric Williams/Fred Rogers in 2:14 when Fatu pinned Williams following a big splash off the top rope. 2. Kings Court w/ Bob Backlund: Jerry Lawler opens the segment talking about his match in twelve days against WWF World Champion the Undertaker at Madison Square Garden. Lawler tells us that Bigelow and Luger won't have to worry about who beats the Deadman for the championship because the King will rule supreme at the Garden on May 14th! Lawler continues to go on to say that recently a former WWF World Champion returned to the company and is on a mission to find someone that the American public can support since everyone else in the company are losers! Backlund tells Lawler that the man he will find will not be a loser but instead be a champion and someone the fans will be forced to love! Backlund leaves and marches to the back already beginning his search. 3. Crush defeated Tim Clarkson in 2:18 following the Kona Vice. 4. Chris Benoit defeated Tom Howard in 2:33 following a German suplex. 5. Razor Ramon/Carlos Vega Confrontation: Jim Ross calls out Razor Ramon to reveal his answer whether or not he is going to rejoin Carlos Vega. Ramon comes out with a scowl on his face and he looks to be fed up with this whole situation. Ross goes over the situation about how Vega was a leader of a gang in the Miami area and that Ramon was a follower of his. Ramon acknowledged this but before he can say anything, Carlos Vega makes his way out and has a cigar in his mouth. Vega grabs the microphone and says that he knows Ramon is going to join him and they will run wild all over the WWF together. Razor gets the microphone and tells Vega that his life in Miami is in his past and not his future. Ramon is sick of the lifestyle that Vega leads and Ramon doesn't want to do the things that Carlos preaches. Carlos is angry and offended that Razor has turned him down. He begins to tell Ramon that without him he wouldn't be anything. Vega slaps Ramon and tells Razor to wake up and realize what he is. “You're a gangsta, and you always will be.” Ramon simply tells Vega he doesn't need him and he better get out of here before he regrets anything. Vega points at Ramon and says “you will regret this. You have no idea.” Vega turns and leaves while the fans cheer for Ramon. 6. Marty Jannetty defeated Sam Stevenson in 2:09 following the Rocker Dropper. 7. Scott Steiner defeated Jimmy Del Ray in 7:54 following a Frankensteiner. During the bout, WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel and Tamara came out to watch a new challenger for the belt. 8. Hulk Hogan Attack: Vince McMahon is standing in the ring and is excited to bring out Hulk Hogan for an interview. It takes a few moments but eventually the camera goes backstage and Hogan has been laid out! Hogan is out cold and no one knows what is going on. McMahon drops the microphone and heads to the backstage area to check on Hogan as RAW goes off the air!
WWF Superstars 5/8/1994 1. Tatanka defeated Scott Taylor in 2:36 following a Samoan Drop. During the match, pre-tape comments from Mr. Fuji are aired. Fuji tells Tatanka that on May 22nd at In Your House, Tatanka will fall victim to the mighty Yokozuna and the War Dance will be waving a white flag! 2. Ted DiBiase Interview: Vince McMahon calls out Ted DiBiase and Diana Smith for an interview this week on Superstars. DiBiase is obviously really happy to have Diana by his side, but the next couple of weeks are going to be really busy for DiBiase. McMahon notes that on May 14th at Madison Square Garden, DiBiase will have a final showdown with Bret Hart inside a steel cage. DiBiase believes that the second time will be the charm and at the Garden the Million Dollar Man will have the last laugh. On May 22nd at the second In Your House, DiBiase will have an opportunity that he has been wanting for nearly four years. Ted DiBiase will get a WWF World Championship shot against WWF World Champion the Undertaker. DiBiase doesn't care how much money he has to spend or what needs to be done, he will get the WWF World Championship for his woman, Diana. She deserves all the gold and he is going to get the most important one on May 22nd. “Why? Because I'm the Million Dollar Man, and I always get MY WAY!” 3. Sparky Plugg defeated Hank Hamsome in 2:05 following a missile dropkick. During the bout, Jeff Jarrett cut a promo saying that Plugg's career is going to crash and fail just like Plugg does every week on the track. 4. IRS defeated Greg Harvin in 2:52 following a lariat. 5. The Quebecers Interview: Jim Ross calls out Johnny Polo and the Quebecers. Polo is upset about trusting the goons known as the Headshrinkers. Polo doesn't know what he was thinking considering Fatu and Samu ram their heads into each other and walk around all over the place barefoot. Polo says that they turned on the greatest tag team in the WWF and they will pay a harsh consequence for such a decision. Jacques chimes in to say that they will not be made to look like fools and in just a matter of time the Quebecers will get justice on the Headshrinkers! 6. Men on a Mission defeated Mike Sharpe & Chris Kanyon in 3:12 when Mabel pinned Sharpe after a splash. During the match, WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels and Diesel share some comments regarding their title match on May 14th against Men on a Mission Michaels says that he and Diesel are going to take care of business and that the two rappers will not have a wrestling income to rely on after May 14th at the Garden! 7. Scott Norton defeated The Kamikaze Kid in 5:19 following a shoulder breaker.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 5/8/1994 1. Doink the Clown defeated AJ Fatal in 2:57 following the Whoopee Cushion. After the match, Doink painted the jobbers face and cut his hair off. 2. Jeff Jarrett defeated Jeremy Sydal in 2:44 following a jumping DDT. 3. Bret Hart & Crush Confrontation: Jim Ross introduces Bret Hart for an interview regarding the recent challenge issues by Johnny Polo's group. Bret Hart knows that people are always going to try and make a name for themselves at the expense of the top guys. Bret puts over Crush, Ludvig Borga, Yokozuna, and the Quebecers as being suitable opponents for him but Bret says he isn't going to let their size intimidate him whatsoever. Mr. Fuji and Crush make their way out to the ring to cut off Bret who welcomes them with a smile. Crush tells the fans that Bret Hart is one of the reasons he turned his back on the American fans. Crush feels like they never got him and didn't support him. Instead, they were busy cheering for a Canadian. They were busy cheering for a foreigner. What was the point of a supporting a nation who cheers for an outsider? Bret tries to chime in but Fuji tries to hit him with a flag but Bret ducks and turns to Fuji. That allows Crush to hit Bret in the ribs and locks in the Kona Vice. Eventually, Crush leaves Bret laying and tells America that their hero will be finished on May 22nd. 4. Randy Savage defeated Carl Irving in 2:19 following a top rope elbow drop. 5. Rick Martel Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel regarding his new apparent challenger, Scott Steiner. Martel doesn't know who Scott Steiner thinks he is. Martel thinks that Scott is nothing without his brother Rick Steiner. “I don't care how much the ladies love you. You don't have the love of my Tamara. She knows who the best is, and it's me.” Martel also says that Scott Steiner hasn't proven himself in the singles ranks and until he does, he will not be getting a championship shot any time soon. 6. WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & Diesel defeated Fred Timmons & Barry Horowitz in 2:55 when Michaels pinned Timmons after a superkick. 7. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Jim Neidhart in 4:18 following a diving head butt. During the match, Lex Luger came to ringside and tried to talk to Bigelow, but that distracted Bigelow and allowed Neidhart to get some offense in. After the match, Bigelow got in Luger's face but Lex backed off and decided to talk to Bigelow when he cooled off.

So many things to look forward to here: The Garden show and the next IYH. I can't wait!
Nice to see some advancement of the Hogan storyline. I can't wait to know the identity of the masked man. Steiner-Martel should be awesome to see. Backlund's search for a protege, as well. So many awesome directions. Thank you for your writing and your time it takes to do this. I'll keep reading!

Decent set of weekend shows here but you've got some intriguing things going for the next In Your House. So DiBiase will be the next to challenge the Undertaker? That should be a nice match. As much as I'd like to see DiBiase win the title I don't think it's happening. I'm also interested in the other matches that seem to be forming, such as Bret/Crush and Luger/Bigelow. Keep up the good work.

Week 19: May 9th - May 15th
WWF RAW 5/9/1994 1. WWF World Tag Team Champions Diesel & Shawn Michaels defeated Jerry Lynn & PJ Walker in 3:07 when Diesel pinned Walker after a powerbomb. 2. Kings Court w/Ric Flair: Jerry Lawler starts the segment promoting a match he has with WWF World Champion the Undertaker at a MSG house show this Saturday. Lawler believes that it should be him getting a shot at a pay per view named after himself, King of the Ring. He will put the Undertaker to rest before DiBiase can get a chance to do so at In Your House next Sunday. Lawler introduces his guest, Ric Flair! Flair comes out with the masked man and is clearly happy. Jerry talks about Hulk Hogan being attacked last week and says that he has been hearing rumors that Flair's masked man was seen in the area just seconds before the attack took place. Flair tells Lawler that there is one thing that he isn't. Ric Flair and anyone associated with him is not a coward. If Flair was going to do something to Hogan he would do it personally and not do it in such a sneaky manner. Flair does admit that Hogan being hurt is music to his ears, though. Lawler says that he believes the Nature Boy and decides to change the topic. Lawler wants to know when we will get to see Flair in a WWF ring wrestling on a full-time basis. Flair smirks at the idea and tells Lawler that he has plenty of business to take care of. Flair ponders if he should reveal news tonight and after conferencing with the masked man, he decides to do so. Flair says that it's known that the WWF is changing RAW from one hour to a two hour program. Since this is happening on June 20th, 1994 the night after King of the Ring, Flair feels like that is something he wants to be part of. Thus, Flair announces that he will compete on RAW on June 20th, 1994 and issues an open challenge. “Who wants to try to make a name for themselves?” Flair tells them too bad because they will be embarrassed by the Nature Boy as the new era of WWF is coming on June 20th. WOOO! 3. Razor Ramon defeated Tom Richards in 2:55 following the Razors Edge. During the match, Carlos Vega cut a promo saying that Ramon is number one on his hit list. 4. Sparky Plugg Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Sparky Plugg this week. Plugg promotes a race he has coming up on May 22nd in the afternoon before In Your House. Plugg believes he has shown his determination in the ring and that same determination will be seen on the race track and is confident he will win the race. He hopes the WWF fans have his support. 5. Yokozuna defeated Bill Kratz in 1:18 following a Bonsai Drop. 6. The Undertaker Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with WWF World Champion the Undertaker and Paul Bearer. McMahon promotes the fact that Taker has to defend the championship against Ted DiBiase next week at In Your House #2, but Taker will also be in action this weekend against Jerry Lawler at Madison Square Garden in a non-title match. Bearer starts with Lawler saying that the Undertaker will make sure that the King is knocked off his stool and will rest in peace. Bearer turns his attention to Ted DiBiase. Bearer knows that DiBiase is a rich man but there isn't enough money in the world that would be able to take the championship away from the Undertaker. Bearer knows that DiBiase has been having a lot of luck with the Hart Family and made their lives miserable. But, Bearer believes that DiBiase's luck will come to an end because the grim reaper never loses. The Undertaker comes up to the microphone and simply says DiBiase will Rest In Peace! 7. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Glenn Johnson in 2:43 following a diving head butt off the top rope. During the match, Lex Luger called in and tried to tell the announcers that he has no problem with Bigelow and that everything between them is perfectly fine. 8. Tatanka defeated WWF World Tag Team Champion Shawn Michaels in 9:42 following a Samoan Drop to advance in the 1994 King of the Ring Tournament. During the bout, Men on a Mission came out and distracted Michaels leading to the finish.
WWF Superstars 5/14/1994 1. Scott Norton defeated Tim Williams in 2:05 following a shoulder breaker. 2. Bob Backlund Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bob Backlund regarding his search for an American that the fans can truly look up to instead of Ron Simmons. Backlund says that Simmons is a born loser. He notes that Simmons had several chances to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship but came up miles short every time, and yet the fans continue to cheer for him. Backlund thinks the fans are pathetic and don't know what a real hero is. Backlund goes on to reveal that his search will conclude at In Your House #2 and invites Ron Simmons to meet the man he chooses at the event. Backlund hopes then the fans will realize they have been cheering for the wrong man all along. 3. The Headshrinkers defeated Rick Fuller & Chris Kanyon in 2:33 when Fatu pinned Fuller following a splash off the top rope. After the match, Johnny Polo and the Quebecers try to attack the Headshrinkers but Samu and Fatu were able to fight them off. However, Polo came back into the ring and brough his hockey stick over the backs of the Headshrinkers. The Quebecers beat down the Headshrinkers along with Polo until a mystery man ran down to the ring and ran them off. The man appears to be related to the Headshrinkers as he helped them up to their feet! 4. The Kamikaze Kid defeated Greg Jenson in 2:04 following a top rope moonsault. 5. Rick Steiner Update: Jim Ross narrates the video which shows Rick Steiner injuring his knee during a title match against Shawn Michaels and Diesel. At the conclusion of the video, Rick Steiner is seen laying in a bed with his leg elevated. Rick knows that he will return stronger than before and will be rooting for his brother Scott Steiner as he competes in singles action while he is out with injury. 6.

They are getting a title shot at Shawn Michaels and Diesel at In Your House #2 next week. Mo tells us that their goal ever since entering the WWF was to walk away with the WWF World Tag Team Championships and they aren't going to let that chance slip through their fingers. Mabel chimes in to let the WWF fans know that they are going to rough up the pretty boy Michaels and knock giant Diesel off his feet before getting the three count and walking out with the gold! 3. Owen Hart defeated James Tavern in 2:09 after a missile dropkick. 4. The Heavenly Bodies defeated Eric Armstrong & Mike Bell in 2:16 when Pritchard pinned Bell. 5. Chris Benoit Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Chris Benoit regarding a match with Owen Hart. Benoit tells us that he has signed the contract to meet Owen Hart next week at In Your House #2 next week. Benoit says he had a great satisfaction beating the little Hart at WrestleMania and it will be icing on the cake being able to do it again at In Your House. Benoit tells McMahon that once he gets done with Owen, he is going to move onto bigger and better things including the King of the Ring tournament. 6. Crush defeated Bart Gunn in 5:18 with the Kona Vice. After the match, Bret Hart comes down and attacks Mr. Fuji on the floor. Crush comes after Bret but clotheslines the ring post on accident. Hart locks in the Sharpshooter on the floor until Ludvig Borga comes out but Bret lets go to avoid being beaten down.
Note from Bob: Thanks to Elliot for the TV graphics. Next week is the IYH #2 pay per view!

Digging the new graphics, man. Props to Elliot. Awesome to see Flair back on the programming, and it's an interesting way to hype and look forward to reading the first two-hour Raw. So many "mystery men" to look forward to as well, with Backlund's protege, the Headshrinkers' new associate, and of course - Flair's masked man. Can't wait to see all revealed. The MSG shows are always a bonus, and fun to read. I like the direction of Crush vs. Bret.
Another great job, man. Can't wait for IYH #2!

Nice weekend of shows including a good MSG card. The Sparky/Jarrett match was just there, Sctt Steiner got a nice win to begin his singles run in earnest, Michaels and Diesel got a solid title defense, though I wonder if there are any good teams left to challenge them. Yokozuna got a solid win over Tatanka, and at least you're not having him lose a sumo match to Earthquake. Razor loses out on the IC title to begin his feud with Vega while Martel's run continues, hopfully climaxing in Steiner taking the title. Undertaker makes short work of Lawler as he should have and gives him some momentum going into his title match. The cage match was very good with a shocking ending. Though it wasn't too surprising, since it was obvious DiBiase wasn't jobbing just before his big title match, and at least it was a dirty win to keep Bret from losing credability. Overall you've done a nice job leading up to In Your House. It'd be awesome to see DiBiase dethrone Taker and win the title but I double that's happening.

Kings Court w/Ted DiBiase: Jerry Lawler introduced his guest this week, the number one contender for the WWF World Championship, the man who will look to dethrone the deadman this Sunday at the second In Your House, Ted DiBiase! DiBiase makes his way down to the ring with Diana Smith and greets Lawler with a handshake. Lawler asks DiBiase about his thoughts on match coming up this Sunday. DiBiase tells Lawler that he is confident he has what it takes to win the match. Whether it be with his pure ability or with the help of his bank account, one way or another the WWF World Championship will be his on May 23rd. DiBiase reminds everyone that he is the man who brought the Undertaker into the WWF and by God he will be the man to send him out of the World Wrestling Federation! 3. Crush defeated Greg Thompson in 2:14 with the Kona Vice. During the match, Bret Hart cut a pre-tape promo on Crush saying that no matter how big Crush is, come this Sunday he will tapping out like a little boy. 4. Marty Jannetty defeated Glenn Ruth in 2:06 with the Rocker Dropper. 5. Ron Simmons Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Ron Simmons. McMahon asks about his upcoming match against a mystery opponent picked by Bob Backlund this Sunday at the second In Your House. Simmons believes that Backlund insulting the American people will get him nowhere. Ron tells us that the fans can continue to support him and he won't let them down. He knows that he came up short against Rick Martel, but next week he will face Martel in a KOTR Tournament match and believes that he will finally beat the champion and make his way towards the WWF World Championship. However, first he is going to shut Backlund and his mystery guy up this Sunday. 6. Lex Luger defeated Scott Taylor in 1:34 following a running forearm. 7. Rick Martel Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel and Tamara. Ross brings up Scott Steiner who has made it clear he wants some championship gold and it's being rumored that he will be coming for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Martel scoffs at the suggestion continuing to say that Scott Steiner hasn't achieved anything in singles action to warrant a championship match with someone like himself. Martel also mentions that he is disgruntled about being left off the pay per view saying he is the only champion not getting a pay per view paycheck. Rick believes it's because he has beaten all the top guys and is left with no one. “I've beaten all the fans heroes and if Scott Steiner happens to reach the spot, which he won't, I'll beat him too.” 8. Yokozuna defeated Razor Ramon to advance in the 1994 King of the Ring Tournament. During the match, Carlos Vega entered the ring while the referee was distracted to hit a spinning heel kick and that allowed Yokozuna to hit the Bonsai Drop. Tatanka ran out to attack Yokozuna to close the show, as well.
WWF Superstars 5/21/1994 1. IRS defeated William Anderson in 2:05 following a lariat. 2. Carlos Vega Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Carlos Vega regarding what Vega did to Ramon on RAW. Vega tells Ross that he gave Ramon the chance to come back to his family, but he turned his back on him. Razor turned his back on the guy who gave Ramon the ability and confidence that he has today. As a result, Vega says he is going to make Ramon's life a living hell. Vega is going to cripple Ramon and make him regret the day he turned his back on the Cuban Mafia. 3. Ludvig Borga defeated Tim Jones in 2:16 following a shoulder breaker. 4. Randy Savage defeated AJ Fatal in 2:03 following a top rope elbow drop. 5. Bret Hart Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with former WWF World Champion Bret Hart regarding his match with Crush this Sunday at In Your House #2. McMahon notes the size of Crush and how ruthless Crush has become since joining Mr. Fuji. Bret disagrees and believes Crush has just become more of a coward who can't fight anyone without attacking them from behind first. Come this Sunday, Crush will have to deal with Bret Hart face to face man to man. Bret will then prove to Crush and anyone else who doubts him, that he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be! 6. The Quebecers defeated Damien Wolfe & Joey Cage in 2:17 when Pierre pinned Cage after a somersault splash off the top. 7. Owen Hart defeated Jeff Jarrett in 5:13 following a missile dropkick to advance in the 1994 King of the Ring Tournament. During the match, Chris Benoit shared pre-tape comments saying that Owen is lucky to get a second chance this Sunday against him, but it won't matter because Owen can't beat him and he knows it.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 5/22/1994 1. Chris Benoit defeated Howie Christianson in 2:15 following a German suplex. 2. Bam-Bam Bigelow Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bam-Bam Bigelow. Vince brings up the recent issues with Lex Luger and how Luger has said that everything between them is fine. Bigelow isn't amused by that and tells McMahon that everything isn't cool between them. Bigelow tells McMahon that he is dumb for believing that. Bigelow notes that Luger cost him the WWF World Championship recently and that will not be forgotten nor forgiven. Bigelow warns Luger that he is coming for him to get payback and the fire inside him is burning greatly. 3. Scott Norton defeated Jim Neidhart in 4:19 following a spine buster. 4. Tatanka defeated PJ Walker in 2:43 following a Samoan Drop. During the match, Mr. Fuji cuts a promo saying that Tatanka will disappointment everyone later tonight when his man, Yokozuna will end Tatanka. 5. Headshrinkers Mystery Family Member Revealed: Jim Ross introduced the Headshrinkers to reveal who their mystery family member is. Fatu talks for the team and tells Ross that the man is their cousin and says his name is Sionne. McMahon turns to Sionne and asks him what his purpose in the WWF is. Sionne takes a moment and tells Vince that it's to have the back of his family and be by their side as they go to war with other top WWF tag teams. Sionne looks forward to the chance to get in the ring with his cousins, as well! (this is the debut of the Barbarian under the name he was given in real life). 6. Men on a Mission defeated the Heavenly Bodies in 6:27 when Mabel pinned Del Ray after a big splash. During the match, WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels and Diesel cut a promo telling us that after IYH, Mabel and Mo will be rapping on the street corners to make a living for themselves because they will never be champions.
NOTE FROM BOB: The IYH pay per view will be posted apart from the television weeks moving forward unless it's Survivor Series since that takes place during the week.

WWF In Your House #2 Date: 5/22/1994 From: Nashville, TN Attendance: 7,500 Announcers: Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan
A video promoting the main event between WWF World Champion the Undertaker and Ted DiBiase is aired. Can the Million Dollar Man win the championship that has eluded him his entire career? Or, will the Undertaker put the man who brought him into the company in the first place to rest?
Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan welcome everyone to the second In Your House pay per view! Ross hypes up the show and talks about the main event involving WWF World Champion Undertaker and Ted DiBiase. Heenan believes that tonight the Million Dollar Man will win the championship for not only himself but for his gorgeous new lady, Diana! Plus, Bob Backlund reveals his mystery man to take on Ron Simmons. Heenan thinks that the man will be someone that American fans can truly get behind and be proud of instead of Ron Simmons. Lets go to the ring to start the show!
Opening Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & Diesel vs. Men on a Mission: Michaels and Mo kick off the match with Mo getting the better of Michaels by hitting a series of hip tosses and a backdrop. Michaels backs off into a corner where he pokes Mo in the eyes. Michaels hits a knee lift and followed up with a swinging neck breaker Michaels leaps off the middle rope to stomp Mo in the face. Michaels drives Mo down to the canvas with a back suplex for a near fall. Shawn heads to the top rope and leaps off to hit a double axe handle for a near fall. Shawn sends Mo back first into a corner and tags in Diesel who delivers a series of back elbows and knee lifts. Diesel sends Mo into the ropes and hits a side walk slam. Diesel attempted a big boot moments later, but Mo ducks under it and dropkicks Diesel on the knee. Mo grabs the kneeling Diesel and hit a DDT! Mabel is hoping for a tag on the apron and Mo is able to crawl over and make the tag! Mabel enters and clotheslines Diesel. Michaels enters but is quickly slammed down to the canvas by Mabel. Michaels gets up but is clotheslined over the top to the floor by Mabel. Mabel turns around and Diesel nails him with a running big boot! Mabel staggers but Diesel grabs him and is able to hit a choke slam. Mo leaps off the middle rope but is met with a strike to the face and is dropped with a power bomb Diesel covers Mabel and gets the win! (Shawn Michaels & Diesel over Men on a Mission to retain the titles, 8:25, **1/2)
Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Tatanka. Pettengill asks Tatanka about his upcoming match with Yokozuna. Tatanka tells Todd that tonight he will fight for everyone that Yokozuna has taken advantage of since he entered the WWF. Tonight, the domination of Yokozuna on the WWF comes to an end!
Second Contest: Tatanka vs. Yokozuna: Tatanka quickly opens the match with a series of chops and overhand strikes to work over Yoko. Tatanka backs Yoko into a corner to work on him until Yoko shoves Tatanka away and charges out with a clothesline.

Tatanka gets Yoko and manages to hit an arm breaker! Tatanka comes off the ropes to hit a leg drop for a one count. Tatanka goes for a scoop slam but Yoko clubs Tatanka over the back to avoid the scoop slam. Yoko manages to hit a scoop slam of his own before coming off the ropes and delivering a leg drop! Yoko thinks that it's over and bows down to Fuji before going for the Bonzai Drop. Tatanka recovers as Yoko is on the second rope and hits a back suplex off the middle rope but both men are down! Tatanka gets up and heads to the top rope to try and hit an overhand chop but Mr. Fuji distracts him and that allows Yoko to crotch Tatanka on the top rope. Yoko gets Tatanka on his shoulder to hit a power slam Yoko ends up going for and hitting the Bonzai Drop to win the match! (Yokozuna defeated Tatanka, 8:19, **1/2)
Backstage, Todd Pettengill is standing with Chris Benoit. Benoit doesn't allow Pettengill to ask him a question. Benoit simply tells Pettengill that tonight he ends Owen tonight and prove to everyone that he is better than not only Owen, but anyone from the Hart Family!
Third Contest: Owen Hart vs. Chris Benoit: They start off with mat wrestling with both men getting the advantage before having a standoff. Benoit backs Owen into a corner and works over Owen with a series of chops and stomps in the corner. Benoit delivers several forearm shots and takes Owen out of the corner with a Northern lights suplex for a one count. Benoit taunts the crowd before dropping Hart with a big clothesline. Benoit continued his offense with a snap suplex and signaled that he was heading to the top rope. However, he took too much time and Owen was able to crotch Benoit on the top turnbuckle and hit a superplex for a near fall! Owen gets to his feet first and knocks Benoit silly with a spinning heel kick and goes for the cover, but Benoit manages to get his foot on the bottom rope. Benoit counters a hurricanrana attempt by Owen by hitting a power bomb but can't keep Owen down!

Bret quickly gets to his feet to hit a side Russian leg sweep! Hart goes for the Sharpshooter but Crush kicks Hart away. Hart comes out of the corner and Crush looks to go for the Kona Vice but Hart fights it off and turns around to take Crush down with an inside cradle and gets the win! (Bret Hart over Crush, 12:02, ***)
Bob Backlund makes his way down to the ring with the fans booing him non-stop. Backlund grabs the microphone and tells everyone to shut up and show respect for the greatest WWF World Champion in the history of the company. Backlund says that tonight he will finally present someone that America can truly support instead of the loser Ron Simmons. Without any further delay, Backlund introduces his man.... Hunter Hearst Helmsley! Helmsley makes his way down to the ring and has a disgusted look on his face as the fans try to touch him as he gets to the ring. Backlund is rambling and says that Hunter will never disappoint him nor the fans! This brings on Ron Simmons who is welcomed with a good ovation from the crowd.
Fifth Contest: Ron Simmons vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley: Simmons gets the early advantage on Hunter with a series of right hands and a leaping shoulder block after sending Hunter into the ropes. Simmons grabs Hunter and sends him into the ropes to connect with a snap power slam for a two count. Hunter stumbles around into a corner and is backing off. Hunter pokes Ron in the eyes and runs out of the corner to hit a swinging neck breaker Backlund is applauding Hunter as he drops a knee across Ron's face. Hunter mounts Simmons and hammers away on him before spitting in his face. Simmons pops up and is furious with that. Simmons chases Hunter to the floor and Backlund gets in Simmons way. Ron goes after Bob but that allows Hunter to chop block Ron's left leg on the floor! Hunter sends Ron head first into the ring steps and back first into the guard railing. Hunter rolls in a hurting Ron back into the ring. Hunter thinks he has the match all in his favor and comes off the ropes only to be met with a huge spine buster from Simmons! Ron goes for the cover but Backlund gets on the apron to distract the referee. Ron gets up and grabs Bob. Hunter goes from behind to hit a knee lift to Simmons back and turns him around to kick Simmons in the gut, put his head between his legs before hooking his arms and drives Ron face first into the canvas! Hunter covers Ron and gets the huge win! (Hunter Hearst Helmsley over Ron Simmons, 9:44, ***)
Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Ted DiBiase and Diana Smith. DiBiase tells Pettengill that for the past seven years he has been close to winning the WWF World Championship and even bought the damn thing, but tonight he will finally regain the championship he should have never lost in the first place. DiBiase turns to Diana and says tonight he will reward Diana with the most precious gift he could get her and that is for her to be call her man a champion!
A video promoting the feud between Undertaker and DiBiase is aired including the event where Taker made his debut thanks to DiBiase. Will Taker take out the man who brought him into the company? We shall see soon!
Main Event: WWF World Champion The Undertaker vs. Ted DiBiase: DiBiase is standing in the corner as Taker turns the lights on by lifting his arms up. DiBiase acts like he is going to attack Taker but Taker turns his head and stops DiBiase dead in his tracks. Taker blocks a few punches and throat thrusts DiBiase into a corner where the champ begins to unload with a series of body shots. Taker sends Ted into the ropes and hits a leaping clothesline for a two count. DiBiase rolls to the floor and is met by Diana.

Late in the match, DiBiase tries to get the Million $ Dream on Taker, but the champ is able to easily shove Ted away and hits a choke slam! DiBiase rolls to the floor and decides to head to the backstage area. However, as he and Diana get to the halfway point, the British Bulldog appears from behind and tosses DiBiase back into the ring! Ted turns around in the ring and yells at Bulldog who walks away and points for Ted to turn around. That's when the challenger realizes what is behind him. Ted turns around and is picked up by Taker who drives DiBiase down to the canvas with a tombstone piledriver to win the match!

WWF In Your House #2: Sunday 22nd May 1994...Hello, good friend...Decent opening contest to kick things off, with Shawn Michaels and Diesel retaining the WWF Tag Team Championships against Men on a Mission, as expected. A crowd-pleasing opening contest, I am sure. Up next, Yokozuna defeating Tatanka in singles action was fine, I liked the interaction from Mr Fuji, especially. I still hope that we get a chance to see Yokozuna win the WWF Championship in this diary. Next, Owen Hart and Chris Benoit going one-on-one is great, I'm sure that this match stole the show. A great victory for Owen, although I think that Benoit possibly could have used the victory more; nonetheless, Owen isn't really peaking yet, so hopefully that this is helping him on his way to developing a character, and moving on up the roster. I can imagine that Crush and Bret Hart would have had quite a good rivalry, actually. A good mashup of styles, here. It's good to see Bret finally transcend away from Money Inc and the Ted Dibiase angle, at long last. Good win for Bret, as expected, and Crush got over from simply lasting twelve minutes with the "Hitman". Wow, Hunter Hearst Helmsley has debuted!? I'm impressed at the idea, and I like the pairing with Mr Bob Backlund as his mentor/manager. A good win for Helmsley here, although it seems like Ron Simmons is being positioned on the backburner from here on out, after having a decent, even feud with Rick Martel over the WrestleMania X season. I think this match went a little too long, additionally. And finally, a good win for The Undertaker as expected against Ted Dibiase to retain the WWF Championship, a predictable match, but this, of course is just a B-level pay-per-view main event. I still like the Ted and Diana Hart pairing, by the way. Overall, a decent show. I'm looking forward to how things develop as we approach the King of the Ring and the summer.

Glad to see you're keeping this going, Triple B! There's some good stuff here and I'd love to see this continue.
Anyway very good In Your House show. The Undertaker/Ted DiBiase match was nice, and nice to see Bulldog getting involved to perhaps lead to him getting his final revenge. So Hunter Hearst Helmsley debuts a year early and managed by Backlund. Unusual, but I can see it working out. The rest of the matches were nice, though I'm curious where guys like Bret and the Undertaker go from here. Plus why no Intercontinental title defense? And why not have a big singles win for Scott Steiner to begin his quest for the IC Title? And what happened to Lex Luger and Bam Bam Bigelow?
Oh by the way....
"A video promoting the feud between Undertaker and DiBiase is aired including the event where Taker made his debut thanks to DiBiase."
That would be the 1990 Survivor Series.

Considering the IYH pay per views were only two hours, I couldn't put everything on here. Don't worry.. the angle involving Bigelow and Luger will be continued shortly. Plus, the WWF Intercontinental Championship will return to television/pay per view next month. Also, I knew the event.. for some reason I just didn't post it in the preview for the show. Hope everyone enjoys the angles moving forward.

A great IYH 2... I was looking forward to it, and enjoyed it very much. I must admit that Hunter with Backlund is an odd pairing. I had a theory that Backlund might present a heel version of Made-in-the-USA Lex Luger. Then I realized Luger had a program with Bam Bam. Anyway, if anyone can make Hunter and Backlund work, I know it's you. I can't wait to see the continuation of Flair vs. Hogan, with the reveal of Flair's mystery sidekick. Thanks for keeping this up. Can't wait for more

This was the first diary I really read when joining the site. It seems like you don't get the chance to post too often anymore which is a shame but just wanted to share my thoughts.
I would much rather follow a diary like yours which goes somewhere instead of a diary which doesn't get out of the blocks because of how much info they put into each show. Everyone has different tastes.
Ted DiBiase is probably the best heel on this site its just a shame he may not actual get his hands on the WWE title.
I noticed you did a WCW series before this and it seems like you may have brought over some of your favourite characters the only one I disagree with is Chris Benoit not because it's Benoit but just can't picture him in WWF so early.
Hopefully you'll be back soon. you get a pat on the back from me

Really good diary man. I have alot of respect for anyone who keeps a diary going for over a year of game time. Ive done it myself so I know how taxing it can be. You have some really creative storylnes. I thought the year 93 was done really well and Im looking forward to 94. I thought to had a good mix of "old school" guys and "new generation" guys. I was surprised at how big of a push some of the older guys are getting (like Dibiase, who I cant visualize being a main event in 1994) but I liked others such as Mr. Perfect and I like that Savage is still going strong. The Flair/Hogan feud is good if for no other reason it keeps them out of the title picture, and Im interested to see who Flair's sidekick is. Maybe Arn Anderson? Or maybe a heel turn for someone? Looking forward to seeing more.

Week 21: May 23rd - May 29th
WWF RAW 5/23/1994 1. Scott Norton defeated Eric Estrada in 2:36 following a shoulder breaker. 2. Kings Court w/ The British Bulldog: Jerry Lawler is annoyed prior to introducing his guest saying that this man ruined the night for a dear friend of his, Ted DiBiase. Lawler says that Bulldog needs to get over the fact that he wasn't good enough for Diana and DiBiase won her heart. Jerry thinks is cowardly for Bulldog to screw Ted over last night against the Undertaker. Bulldog makes his way down to the ring and has a smile on his face. Bulldog notes that he hasn't been able to smile in recent times because of what the million dollar scum Ted DiBiase has done to him lately. Lawler cuts into Bulldog's time and says that it's not Ted's fault that Bulldog wasn't a good enough man for Diane. Diane left Bulldog to be treated like a Queen.

Great to see this continue, Bob. Looking forward to a Flair/Masked Man vs. Hogan/Savage match. I like how you've given a clue as to who the sidekick could be. It looks like I may have been wrong. Can't wait for the King of the Ring tourney and show. Lots to be excited about and look forward to here. Thanks so much for your continued good job here.
