KOTR tourney was booked really well. Even though Yoko won, and rightfully so I think, it made Steiner look really good in the process. I could see a feud with him and Martel going forward. Good to see Flair continue the angle with Savage. Glad HBK and Diesel retained, though I didnt think the Underdogs had a real chance. Yoko vs Taker will be very interesting. Will you put Yoko over, or will Taker take down the monster? Im also interested to see where Luger goes from here. Maybe some time off? Repackaging? We will see.

Another excellent pay-per-view from this alternate history. The KOTR tournament itsefl was well done, though I didn't see Yokozuna winning it all. It'll be interesting to see how "King" Yokozuna's reign goes, especially when he faces The Undertaker for the title. I'm also impressed how good Scott Steiner looked in the tourney. Hopefully this means an Intercontinental Title win is in his future, he looks primed and ready for a singles belt. So Ric Flair's mystery pal costs Savage his match? I'm sure everyone's seeing a Megapowers reunion against Flair and whoever. Bulldog gets a nice win over Crush, one step closer to getting his ultimate revenge with DiBiase. The main event was good with Taker finishing off his feud with Luger. Of course where does Luger go from here now that his run at the top is finished. Overall another well done job!

WWF King of the Ring Hot way to kick off the show with Owen Hart versus Chris Benoit in the King of the Ring, Owen advancing is fine to me. I wish this had gotten more time, maybe it would have been better to have later on in the tournament. Yokozuna over Tatanka was the right call, Tatanka had no real shot at winning this anyway. Yokozuna seems like a good choice to take it. Scott Steiner beating Rick Martel was cool, I assume this is putting Steiner in line for a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. Glad to see Bam-Bam advance into the semifinals of the tournament. Randy Savage being screwed by Flair, and his masked man, is interesting. I assume we’ll be getting the Mega Powers vs Flair and the masked man at SummerSlam, I just hope we find out who the masked man is before then. In Your House next month seems like a good place for it. I think an upset from Jannetty and the Kamikaze Kid could have been cool, but in the end Michaels and Diesel retaining is the right call, they’ve only had the titles since WrestleMania I remember correctly. Yokozuna going over Owen Hart in two minutes is disappointing. Yokozuna winning was fine, but I feel like Owen should have put up more of a fight. I guess that’s the problem with having ten matches on a card, some need to be cut short. Excited for the two hour RAWs, I wonder if we’ll start to get longer matches or if we’ll just get more squashes. Steiner defeating Bam-Bam became obvious after Yokozuna’s win, however I’m liking how well Steiner is doing tonight. I’d say Yokozuna will take it all in the end. Next, decent contest between British Bulldog and Crush, Bulldog taking the win was the right call, he needs the momentum as he goes in to eventually face Ted DiBiase. As predicted, Yokozuna defeats Scott Steiner and takes the King of the Ring crown. I’m happy with this, King Yokozuna seems fitting. I can totally see him as the WWF Champion, too. Lastly, I’m glad to see the Undertaker retain the WWF Championship, Luger shouldn’t have the title for a while anyway. I wonder where he goes from here, maybe the casket gimmick is a way to write him off for a bit. I’m quite looking forward to the Undertaker going up against Yokozuna in SummerSlam, I can see either man walking away with title. Overall, the pay-per-view did have some predictable outcomes, but it was well booked and I’m looking forward to what’s next.

forgive me for being a little bit late here in this, but this KOTR was an awesome show. Awesome match to kick off between Owen and Benoit. I'm glad your'e still letting them go at it. A nice solid win for Owen there advancing to face the winner of The Yokozuna vs Tatanka match. Yokozuna goes over Tatanka. Uh oh no bueno for Owen. Steiner with a big win over The Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel as well and Bam Bam the last man to advance in the final four by defeating Randy Savage with help from Ric Flair and his mystery man. I hope we get a tag team match between them at Summerslam eventually. And it would lead up to Hogan's final encounter against Flair by saying Survivor Series and like Penguin was saying. I really feel like Jannetty and Kid should've taken the WWF Tag Team Championships over Michaels and Diesel. But somewhere down the line Michaels and Diesel might lose the titles very soon eventually. Yoko completely squashes Owen. I really agree with Penguin on this. Owen should've fought lesser than that but a win is a win and Yoko's in the finals now with Steiner winning that has to be a david vs goliath victory can he get it over Yokozuna. Good win for Bulldog over Crush and I fully expected Diana to turn on Dibiase. I hope we get to see that match at Summerslam somehow with Diana turning on Dibiase. The Finals has Yokozuna vs Scott Steiner. And as my prediction was right. Yokozuna is the 1994 King of The Ring Champion. Like I was saying I wonder if that robe and crown actually fitted Yokozuna's body. Sorry for that Joke. And great to see Undertaker retain the title in a Casket Match against Luger. I'm very excited for the two-hour RAW as wely. I am really looking forward for it. There's going to be some featured storylines before Summerslam. The Storyline i'm interested the most is Yokozuna vs The Undertaker. I'm glad theyr'e going to face off one-on-one in 1994. Cause their real-life casket matches in 1994 was great. I really loved when they squared off in that first casket match with Yokozuna having 10 or 20 WWF Superstars to help bury The Undertaker. I really also liked the Afterpart with Undertaker's spirit on the titantron and him going up to heaven. That was a great WWF Moment for the New Generation. If you catch my drift. Their Second Match wasn't bad. Yokozuna and his cohorts finally got what they deserved at Survivor Series. But In your BTB. I hope it's not like that. This is going to be a great match at Summerslam. A lot of people have targeted The Deadman like Bigelow. Dibiase and Luger and guess what they all failed miserably. But with Yokozuna the next Challenger. The Phenom's going to have to find a way to beat Yokozuna. or can Yokozuna recover from an impressive 1993 from another impressive year. Whatever happens. That should be a great match between Yokozuna and The Undertaker at Summerslam. You did an awesome job for King of The Ring. It was out of sight.

Hunter also noted that the rocker lifestyle that Marty Jannetty lives continues to disgust himself and Bob Backlund. 5. John Bradshaw Vignette: The vignette begins to a rugged man sitting at a bar with a beer in his hand, looking miserable. The man is talking about his 9-5 job and how much he dislikes it. He proceeds to grab his bottle and smashes it over a patron's head. “I wanna fight.” The man looks up and sees the WWF and begins to smile. “This is what I want. John Bradshaw, a fighter.” Coming soon. 6. Men on a Mission defeated Tim York & Joseph Sweet in 2:14 when Mabel pinned Sweet after a big splash. 7. Ludvig Borga defeated AJ Fatal in 2:16 following a shoulder breaker. 8.

Now, Yokozuna just has to wait a short period of time before he is rightfully the WWF World Champion. Polo tells the Undertaker that he may be some kind of supernatural creature but Yokozuna is a monster and will not defeated. Polo says that his group of men will be taking out the Undertaker before the showdown and that will begin tonight with Quebecer Jacques.

During the match, Ted DiBiase shared a pre-tape promo saying that he is ready to meet Bulldog in the ring. DiBiase knows that with Diana's support, he will put the dog to sleep once and for all. 11. Rick Martel Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel and Tamara. McMahon notes that Martel lost to Scott Steiner last night and as a result, it was been announced that Scott Steiner is the new number one contender.

Martel says he has the best looking woman in the world and he will be the WWF Intercontinental Championship for a long time to come. Tamara and Martel kiss while leaving Ross with a perplexed look. 12. WWF World Champion the Undertaker defeated Quebecer Jacques in 4:16 following a tombstone piledriver. After the match, Paul Bearer revealed that the Undertaker will make all of Johnny Polo's men rest in peace, ending with Yokozuna at SummerSlam! 13. Sparky Plugg Update: We get an update regarding the condition of Sparky Plug. Jim Ross tells us that early reports is that the brakes on Plugg's car appear to have been faulty and it will be looked into more. According to the crew chief, it “looked like as if they were cut.” More on these developments in the coming weeks. 14. Randy Savage defeated Ric Flair by DQ in 6:16 after the masked man entered the ring and attacked Savage along with Flair. Hulk Hogan ran down to the ring to make the save. At this time, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton run down to the ring and attack Hogan and Savage! Hogan tried to fight off Jarrett, and did so, but Norton clubbed Hogan over the back and allowed the heels to work over them. Flair, the maskedman, Norton and Jarrett stood over the babyfaces as the first ever two hour RAWcame to an end.
WWF Superstars 6/25/1994 1. Scott Steiner defeate Fred Johnson in 2:35 following the Frankensteiner. After the match, Jim Ross interviewed Scott Steiner who said that he may have come up short at the KOTR, but now that he is the number one contender for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, he will be putting all his focus on winning the gold not only for himself but for his injured brother Rick Steiner too! 2. IRS defeated Craig Hanson in 2:13 following a leaping lariat. 3. Bam-Bam Bigelow Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bam-Bam Bigelow. Bigelow is laughing because Lex Luger loss his title match against the Undertaker at KOTR and no one has seen him since being rolled into the casket. Bigelow reminds everyone that Luger cost him his shot at the title a couple of months ago and Bigelow is out to get revenge on Luger for costing him that victory. Bigelow tells the fans that if Luger ever gets the courage to comeback to the WWF, there will be a beast from the east looking to extinguish Luger's career! 4. Crush defeated Frank Stevens in 2:05 following the Kona Vice. 5. Men on a Mission defeated Sage Timmons & Barry Horowitz in 2:09 when Mabel pinned Horowitz after a splash. 6. Shawn Michaels/Diesel Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with the WWF World Tag Team Champions. Michaels and Diesel are clearly quite happy with themselves as they are still the WWF World Tag Team Champions after KOTR. Michaels notes that and asks Ross who is there left for them to beat. There isn't any team in the WWF that can hold a candle to them and there aren't any threats to their championships. As Michaels continues to ramble and put themselves over, Samu and Fatu appear through the crowd and stand behind the champs in the ring. The crowd is liking this and the Headshrinkers spin the champs around before hitting double superkicks sending Michaels to the floor and staggering Diesel. The Headshrinkers clothesline Diesel over the top to the floor and stand tall in the ring while the champs are on the floor confused as to what the hell just happened to them. It looks like we have new challengers for the gold! 7. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel defeated Samu in 6:18 when Martel used the ropes for leverage to get the win.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 6/26/1994 1. The Heavenly Bodies defeated Greg Patterson & Mike Sharpe in 3:08 when Del Ray pinned Sharpe after a moonsault. 2.

Now, Bret is looking for redemption and we will find out what he is looking to do this Monday on RAW! 4. Marty Jannetty Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Marty Jannetty regarding that Hunter Hearst Helmsley said about him on RAW. Marty says that Hunter thinks he is the best person in America and that everyone should be like him. Jannetty tells Ross that while he has made mistakes with his lifestyle, he has had fun and still managed to have a successful career in the WWF. Marty considers himself to be one of the best singles wrestlers and if Hunter wants to find that out the hard way, he will be more than happy to show him! 5. Owen Hart defeated Eric Hudson in 2:18 following a spinning heel kick. During the bout, Chris Benoit cut a promo on Owen challenging him to a best two out of three falls match at the MSG house show on July 16th.

Pretty nice two-hour debut for Raw. The main event was fine and I guess Flair now has a Four Horsemen-type group with Jarrett, Norton and the masked guy. I wonder if Hogan and Savage are going to get any allies to back them up, leading to some sort of four-on-four match at SummerSlam.
Speaking of which you've gotten some great stuff already building toward Summerslam in addition to Undertaker/Yokozuna. I can see the Bulldog getting his final revenge on DiBiase, Bigelow and Lex Luger squaring off and Scott Steiner winning the Intercontinental Title. And I'm wondering what you do with Bret Hart, or if Owen Hart and Chris Benoit have a final showdown as well. You've got so many exciting possibilites going here, I hope we see them come to pass soon.

An excellent inaugural two-hour Raw. Enjoying the SummerSlam buildup, I can't wait to see it all come to a head. Interesting Horseman-esque group with Flair, Norton and Jarrett. You've successfully built up the anticipation (at least for me) of who this masked man is. I hope he'll be revealed at some point. I wouldn't mind seeing Yoko and Scott Steiner with title runs, either. One question, though - Are you ever bringing Mr. Perfect back? Anyway, nicely done as always, and thank you.

WWF RAW: Monday 20th June 1994...Alright, a two hour show in 1994 for RAW? Hmm, alright I guess. Very Prime Time Wrestling of you, though. The Kamikaze Kid and Marty Jannetty getting a win against the Heavenly Bodies made for a hot opening contest for the show, with the right team getting the win for a pleasant first match in the two hour era. Carlos Vega then getting a win was fine, giving the newcomer some momentum. I liked Razor Ramon's comments towards Vega, I anticipate the blow-off will arise at SummerSlam. Or the first encounter. It's been well built up already, too. Ric Flair's interview made for a good segment, talking about Randy Savage. A good setup for our big main event for tonight between Flair and Savage. I think this feud should take a bit of a backseat however, given that these same stars weren't able to make much change to pay-per-view buyrates over in WCW in 1995. Up next, Hunter Hearst Helmsley with a win was fine, as Helmsley discussed his problems with Ron Simmons. Wait, why is Helmsley and Bob Backlund now also targeting Marty Jannetty? Hmm. John Bradshaw making his debut in the World Wrestling Federation soon sounds cool, I'm game for this. Bradshaw with a fighter gimmick could very well possibly overshadow Steve Austin, should he debut next year or sooner. Also could prove to be quite a risque gimmick for 1994, but it's all down to how you choose to write his character. Men on a Mission and Ludvig Borga with wins, okay. Nothing eventful listed here, which may have turned some members of the audience off and possibly bored them. King Yokozuna's promo was what I had been anticipating, a good promo discussing Johnny Polo and Yokozuna's direction. King Yokozuna facing the Undertaker for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam sounds great, I'm up for this. Ron Simmons and the British Bulldog with wins were fine. I liked Ted Dibiase's comments, and I assume that they will compete at In Your House next month. I wonder when this big Million Dollar Corporation and Hart Foundation rivalry will end. I anticipate Survivor Series at the latest, perhaps. Rick Martel has talk time? Finally! He's been quite a subpar WWF Intercontinental Champion so far, I've found. A good promo from Martel on Scott Steiner, who looks to be Martel's next challenge to his title. I hope to see Scotty eventually win the belt. It'd definitely spice things up when Rick Steiner returns from injury. The Undertaker with a win against Jacques of the Quebecers was fine, it got an Undertaker appearance in there. Nice to see a credible superstar vs superstar match, too. Hmm, Bob Holly's tyres got slashed? Firstly, I'm wondering how long Holly will be out of action, and whom did it secondly. Finally, a screwy Nitro-esque finish with Randy Savage defeating Ric Flair by disqualification. Very interesting twist to see Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton try to get in Hulk Hogan's way, and I can imagine that we have our match for a future main event, with the Mega Powers proving their reunited alliance as credible against Norton and Jarrett, before pursuing Ric Flair and this masked man. Overall, there's a lot to say about this episode of RAW. I'm tied currently on the two hour RAWs debuting already, as at this point, it could jeopardise the quality of the young In Your House B-pay-per-view series, that and also the structuring system of this is a bit shaky. I'd have perhaps scattered an extra non-squash match onto this show, perhaps serving as a first-hour main event. So many squashes would have potentially turned off the audience, if not for the announced main event, the non-match segments and the pre-taped comments from within the squash matches. Fair storyline advancement, giving us some interesting direction going into deep summer.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 25th June 1994...Scott Steiner with a win to kick off the show was nice, as the interview for Steiner was also good, elevating Steiner's status as a contender to Rick Martel's WWF Intercontinental Championship. Irwin R. Schyster with a win was fine, although he's not doing anything else. Bam Bam Bigelow then having an interview was nice to see, although it seems as if we could be seeing Luger making a heel turn in the near future, which could be very interesting. Crush and Men on a Mission with wins were fine, it must be Mabel and Mo's special week, for sure. Shawn Michaels and Diesel's segment should have taken place on RAW perhaps, it is strange to see the WWF Tag Team Championship division so under-utilized really. At least they have a segment, although when Michaels and Diesel are feuding with someone of the calibre of the Headshrinkers, it makes me think that Shawn and Diesel could be doing something much better. Although, I'm glad to see Fatu and Samu finally having an opportunity at the gold, and I would love to see a big upset win for the Headshrinkers, but I just can't see it happening. Hmm, and then a strange decision by making Samu look weak, having him lose to Rick Martel in the main event. After the segment with Michaels and Diesel being jumped by Samu and Fatu, I'm surprised to see Samu lose to Martel without assistance from the WWF Tag Team Champions. A good six-man tag team match would be great to see, including Michaels, Diesel and Martel facing Steiner and the Headshrinkers. Nonetheless, despite that booking around the tail-end of the show, not bad.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 26th June 1994...The Heavenly Bodies with a win was fine, and the same goes for Jerry Lawler. With RAW turning two hours, I could see Wrestling Challenge becoming strictly a squash match show, or turning into a recap show. I don't think it's too needed now, personally. Bret Hart's video package was great, and it will be interesting to see what he does on RAW this Monday. Marty Jannetty's interview was fine, accepting the challenge of Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Hah, with Marty's comments, he won't have a successful career in the WWF any longer, perhaps. Owen Hart with a win was fine, and we have another extension of the feud with Owen Hart and Chris Benoit announced for the next big Madison Square Garden show. I'm hoping their rivalry will end soon. Ted Dibiase beating Tatanka made for a decent main event. Overall, this show was what you'd expect, but overall it's been a solid fallout week for the World Wrestling Federation, coming out of King of the Ring.

Flair tells Lawler that what he is looking at is a group of men that will be known as The Dynasty. “With all four of us together, no one will be able to stop us.” Lawler brings up Savage's challenge from earlier in the night and Flair says if Randy wants the match he has the match! Because the Dynasty doesn't back down from anyone! WOO! 9. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated the Kamikaze Kid in 5:12 following the Pedigree. After the match, Hunter attempted a second pedigree but Marty Jannetty ran down and hit a missile dropkick to send Hunter to the floor. 10.

Simmons wants America to be proud of him, but he is getting really disappointed in himself. Ron says that he has been playing nice and it's time for the All American football standout to find his edge and start climbing up the ladder of success. Simmons promises that a new and improved Ron Simmons will be making his way to the top of the WWF! 3. Jeff Jarrett defeated Brian Costello in 3:15 with the figure four. 4. Bret Hart Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bret Hart at his home about his future in the World Wrestling Federation. Bret says he is close to coming back to the company and will be back later in the month. He tells McMahon that he is out to get revenge for what has happened to him over the past year. He got his revenge over Ted DiBiase and now he is looking to get revenge on a guy who made his career take a stumble downward. Hart is talking about Lex Luger. Hart knows that Luger is all shook up since losing to the Undertaker at KOTR, but when Luger gets his head on straight, Bret wants to be the guy who knocks it off again. Bret is determined to be the WWF World Champion again and he will be because he is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be! 5.

Steiner believes he has what it takes to be the best in the WWF and it all starts with beating Rick Martel with the gold on the line. Jerry Lawler makes his way out to the ramp and begins to laugh at Steiner. Lawler says that while Steiner has a lot to offer with his body and muscle, he lacks that much more in his head. Lawler doesn't believe Scott is anything more than a tag team wrestler who got lucky at KOTR. Lawler challenges Steiner to meet a true King at the next In Your House pay per view on July 24th! Steiner wastes no time accepting and says he will have no issue with beating Lawler's butt in twenty one days on pay per view! 4.

Great week of WWF 1994. "The Dynasty" is a simple name that fits perfectly. I was hoping Savage would reveal the Masked Man on Raw. I hope it happens soon. Are you ever going to do any more dirt sheet-esque reports for this diary? Just curious. Great job, please keep it up!

Week 27: July 4th - July 10th
WWF RAW 7/4/1994 1. Ron Simmons defeated Eric Stevens in 2:15 following a spine buster. During the match, it was obvious that Simmons had much more of a mean streak in the match. 2. The Smoking Gunns defeated Dave Stewart & Greg Simpson in 2:45 when Billy pinned Stewart. 3. Sparky Plugg Update: The video this week shows a man sneaking up to Plugg's car while it was in the pit getting worked on. Upon zooming in on the man, it is seen that he has a pair of cutters with him and is seen clipping away on the car while everyone scrambles to work on the car. Moments later, Plugg's car spun out of control and crashed. The video is in black and white but Jim Ross notes that footage shot in color will be released in time for next weeks program. 4. Crush defeated Larry Owens in 1:33 with the Kona Vice. 5. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Bruce Calling in 2:13 following a top rope diving headbutt.

Bradshaw looks into the camera and says that he is on his way to the WWF ring and is going to be making his debut next week to knock these “WWF wrasslers on their butts.” 7. WWF World Tag Team Champion Diesel defeated Samu in 6:56 following a big boot. After the match, Fatu and Shawn Michaels came out to brawl. Officials ran out to break up the tag teams! 8. Kings Court w/Lex Luger: Jerry Lawler is happy to announce the return of former WWF World Champion Lex Luger to the WWF. Luger hasn't been seen since the KOTR when he was stuffed into a casket. Luger notes that the past several weeks saw him have to regroup and while the Undertaker got the better of him at KOTR, Luger says his day will come and in the meantime people have to respect him and his body of perfection because he will be WWF World Champion once again. Lawler mentions both Bigelow and Bret Hart waiting for Luger. Lex starts off with Bigelow first. Luger says that he accidentally cost Bigelow his title match with Taker a couple of months ago and suggests bigelow get over it before he regrets getting in the ring with him. As for Bret Hart, there will be no chance for redemption because Luger isn't interested in wrestling someone he defeated so easily. “Bret, you're going to forever have to live with the fact that I'm truly the best there was and there ever will be.” Bigelow makes his way down to the ring and mentions how he will not regret getting in the ring with Luger and proceeds to deck Luger! A brawl takes place until Lawler helps Luger in attacking Bigelow. Bret Hart runs down out of nowhere and helps Bigelow fight both men out of the ring! There is a moment of tension between Bret and Bigelow as they just worked together to end the segment. 9. Marty Jannetty defeated Lance Harris in 2:45 following the Rocker Dropper. During the match, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Bob Backlund appeared on the aisle way. Hunter watching the match in disgust. 10. King Yokozuna defeated Owen Hart in 4:18 after the Bonzai Drop. During the match, Chris Benoit came out to ringside and caused a distraction to allow Yoko to hit a splash in the corner. 11. Hulk Hogan Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Hulk Hogan this week regarding the recent happenings involving the Dynasty. Hogan can't wait for SummerSlam next month and says that the years of frustration and the revenge for WrestleMania X is building up inside of him. Having his best friend, Randy Savage, with him will make it even more rewarding to beat Flair and the masked man. Hulk notes that when they win the match they are going to unmask the masked man and find out who the man really is! Hulk has a challenge for the Dynasty for this coming up IYH. Hogan wants to have a piece of Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton in what would be their tune up match for SummerSlam. “If you want to make a name for yourself in this business, you're going to have to come through the Mega Powers, brother!” 12. Razor Ramon & Scott Steiner defeated Carlos Vega & WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel by count-out in 9:15 when Vega and Martel decided to leave the match after Ramon hit Martel with a Razor's Edge. 13. The Quebecers defeated Mike Sharpe & Scott Taylor when Pierre pinned Taylor. 14. WWF World Champion the Undertaker defeated IRS in 7:09 following a tombstone.

Owen recalls losing to Carlos Vega by count-out and Benoit costing him his match against King Yokozuna. Owen confirms the reports that he will wrestle Benoit at the July 16th MSG Show in a best two out of three falls match so that Owen can prove he is the best of the two and move on to bigger and better things. 4. the Headshrinkers defeated Barry Horowitz & Bret Centro in 2:44 when Fatu pinned Centro after a big splash off the top. 5. Doink the Clown defeated Jim Neidhart in 3:06 following the Whoopee Cushion. 6. Ted DiBiase Interview: Vince McMahon spoke with Ted DiBiase this week on Superstars. DiBiase knows that Bulldog has a match up next and says that no matter what the Bulldog does, there isn’t anything he can do to get Diane back. She is with the million dollar man, getting whatever she wants and being treated as his queen. DiBiase teases that bigger things are in his mind and believes Bulldog will not make it to SummerSlam mentally. 7. The British Bulldog defeated Quebecer Jacques in 6:19 following a running powerslam. After the match. Ted DiBiase appeared on the aisleway with Dianaand proceeded to kiss her. This caused Bulldog to run down towards them but was met with an attack by Quebcer Pierre and Johnny Polo with hockey sticks. The trio of men laughed at the fallen Bulldog.

Another great edition to your diary with these shows. So we have to wait until SummerSlam to learn the identity of Flair's masked man? That's a bummer. Hopefully you won't dissapoint once Hogan and Savage finally reveal him. Are we going to get a BRet/Bam Bam vs. Lawler/Luger match at IYH? That'd be cool, especially if it leads to Bret vs. Luger at SummerSlam, allowing Bret to finally get his revenge. I'd also love to see Steiner take the IC Title from Martel at SummerSlam, especially after Martel held it for far longer than anyone expected. Razor/Vega, Unteraker/Yokozuna, you've got some great stuff here, I just wish you'd update more than one every two months to keep our interest up.
I also wouldn't mind some feedback for my diary as well.

Great to see this back, Bob. I agree with the feeling about the wait for the masked man reveal, but at least we for sure have it to look forward to. It seems from what I've read, that this Luger-Bigelow feud is Heel vs. Heel. I'm sensing a triple threat match/three-way feud including Bret - possibly for #1 contendership, after Taker vs. Yoko. I've missed this diary, and look forward to more frequent updates in the future. Your writing and effort is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Week 28: July 11th - July 17th
WWF RAW 7/11/1994 1. John Bradshaw defeated Barry Horowitz in 1:34 following a running clothesline. This is the debut of John Bradshaw in the WWF. The crowd was behind him in a positive way. 2. Scott Norton defeated Greg Harvin in 2:39 following a shoulder breaker. After the match, Norton issued a challenge to Randy Savage for this Saturday’s MSG event airing on the MSG Network. 3. Bret Hart Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bret Hart. McMahon wants to know why Hart came out and made the save for Bigelow last week. Hart smirks and tells Vince that he doesn’t like Bigelow but he respects the guy. He recalls their battles last year and how Bret had to reach down deep to defeat the beast from the east. Bret says he doesn’t respect nor like Luger or Lawler. So, when he saw Bigelow doing something right, he joined forces with Bigelow. Bret notes that he is on a mission to get redemption and he wants Lex Luger. “I’m going to get my redemption and make Luger tap out in the middle of the ring.” 4. The Quebecers defeated Mike Davis & Danny Williams in 3:55 when Pierre pinned Davis. 5. Marty Jannetty defeated Timothy Ferguson in 2:15 following the Rocker Dropper. 6. Sparky Plugg Update: Jim Ross tells us that he has watched the footage and it reveals who caused the accident that put Plugg in the hospital. The footage is clearer and in color this week. This week, we see Plugg in the pit getting work done on his car. The video focuses on a man going under the car. The man comes sliding back from under the car and when he stands up the camera zoom ins on his face… which is covered in clown paint. “That’s correct ladies and gentleman, that’s Doink the Clown. This evil clown has put Plugg’s career in jeopardy. We’ll try to get a word from him later on in the show.” 7. Owen Hart defeated Corey Smith in 2:43 following a missile dropkick. 8. Kings Court w/ Jerry Lawler: Jerry Lawler is the guest on his own show and cuts promo on Bigelow, Bret Hart and Scott Steiner. Lawler use to like Bigelow but now he has changed into a guy fighting for the good. When someone associates themselves with a guy like Bret Hart, it makes Lawler sick. This Saturday at MSG he will be wrestling Bam-Bam Bigelow and Lawler is going to make Bigelow regret his new attitude. On July 24th at the next In Your House, Lawler is going to show Scott Steiner that he will never be a champion and he will never be a person of royalty like himself. 9. Crush defeated the Kamikaze Kid in 4:55 with the Kona Vice. 10. Sionne defeated Steve Matthews in 2:26 following a middle rope shoulder block. 11. Doink the Clown Interview: Jim Ross calls out Doink the Clown to conduct an interview and Doink makes his way down to the ring with something in his hand. Ross asks Doink what he is holding. “(chuckle) Well, Ross what I hold here is the reason why Sparky Plugg spun out and crashed into the wall. My greatest prank of all-time. These right here are the brakes in which I snipped and I hold them up with pride!” Ross is sick and asks why Doink did it. Doink responds by telling Ross that he was sick of Plugg putting smiles on fans faces. He wants tears and sadness and he has been getting that with fans writing into the WWF for Plugg to get better. Doink assures us that Plugg’s career is over! 12. WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & Diesel defeated Men on a Mission in 9:07 when Diesel pinned Mo after a powerbomb. 13. Scott Steiner defeated Lance Harrison in 2:11 following the Frankensteiner. 14. Razor Ramon defeated King Yokozuna by count-out in 8:14 when the Undertaker came down to the ring and Yokozuna confronted Taker on the floor leading to officials coming out to keep the two apart. Carlos Vega came out through the crowd to attack Ramon with a strap and whipped Ramon several times before choking Ramon with the strap. Vega taunted the fans and Ramon with the strap.
WWF Superstars 7/16/1994 1. The British Bulldog & Jim Neidhart defeated The Quebecers in 9:04 when Bulldog pinned Pierre after a running powerslam. After the match, Bulldog and Neidhart sent the Quebecers to the floor. 2. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Paul Schilling in 2:33 following a Pedigree. After the match, Hunter went for a second but Simmons and Jannetty ran down to run Hunter and Backlund out of the ring. 3. Ron Simmons & Marty Jannetty Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Simmons and Jannetty who have been having issues with Hunter and Backlund since they returned or debuted in the company. Simmons tells us that he hasn’t beaten Hunter and he is tired of having to look at the snob. He wants to beat some sense into both of them. Ron notes that Jannetty has been insulted for being a rocker and Hunter thinks he is better than both them. Jannetty chimes in and says that they want a tag match against Hunter AND Backlund! They want the snobs to find some guts and accept their challenge! 4. Tatanka defeated Scotty Anton in 2:43 following a Samoan Drop. 5. Backstage Tamara, Rick Martel & Scott Steiner: Backstage, Rick Martel is talking to Tamara and appears to be telling her to get into a locker room and flirt with Steiner to possibly get Steiner out of his way. Tamara agrees and enters the room. Martel waits for a few moments thinking this will work. Instead, Tamara comes out crying saying that Steiner called her an ugly piece of trash. Martel acts like he is going to go into the room, but instead comforts Tamara and leaves. The door opens and Steiner appears laughing at the poor attempt by the champion. 6. Chris Benoit defeated Fred Jackson in 2:51 with the Crossface. 7. Carlos Vega defeated Bart Gunn in 6:58 following a spinning heel kick. After the match, Vega used a whip on Bart until Billy Gunn ran down for the save.
WWF Madison Square Garden Date: 7/16/1994 From: New York, NY Attendance: 18,000 Announcers: Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan Aired Only On MSG Network
Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan welcome us to Madison Square Garden for some WWF action! Ross hypes up the show which will feature Randy Savage taking on Dynasty member Scott Norton, Jerry Lawler squaring off against Jerry Lawler and in the main event WWF World Champion the Undertaker teams with Scott Steiner to take on King Yokozuna and WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel!
Opening Contest: Owen Hart vs. Chris Benoit best two out of three falls: The first fall took place about five minutes in when Benoit was able to avoid a top rope cross body and made Owen submit to the Crossface. Owen would fight back to win the second fall with a rollup out of the corner. The third and final fall saw Owen pin Benoit after a top rope missile dropkick. (Owen Hart defeated Chris Benoit, 14:08, ***1/4)
Second Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champion Shawn Michaels vs. Fatu: Early on, Fatu worked over Michaels with strikes and a good looking Samoan Drop. Michaels poked Fatu in the eyes and was able to hit a snap suplex and neck breaker. Late in the match, Fatu missed a top rope splash and that allowed Michaels to get the win with a superkick. (Shawn Michaels defeated Fatu, 7:33, **1/2)
Backstage, Jim Ross conducted an interview with Ted DiBiase. Ted cut a promo on the Kamikaze Kid and tells Ross that tonight will be an easy night for him. He is surprised Kid will even be awake since it’s past 8pm. Ted dedicates this win to Diana.
Third Contest: Ted DiBiase vs. the Kamikaze Kid: Kid surprised DiBiase with a series of kicks and rollups, but Ted was able to take control with a back breaker. Ted hit a fist drop off the middle rope and got the submission win with the Million $ Dream. (Ted DiBiase defeated the Kamikaze Kid, 4:11, *1/2)
Prior to the next match, Scott Norton comes to the ring with Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett and the masked man. When Randy Savage comes out he waits for a moment and points to the back where Hulk Hogan appears!
Fourth Contest: Scott Norton vs. Randy Savage: A quick start to the match saw Savage hammer away on Norton and try to knock the big man down, but Norton powerslammed Savage to gain control of the contest. The Dynasty members are ordering Norton what to do while Hogan tries to get the crowd behind Randy. Savage breaks out of a bear hug to hit a running clothesline and a top rope double ac handle. Savage looks to go for the elbow, but the Dynasty enters the ring and Hogan enters with a chair as backup to whack Jarrett and the masked man over the back as the referee calls for the bell. (Randy Savage fought Scott Norton to a no contest, 8:22, **1/4). After the match, Hogan chases Flair and Norton out of the ring and poses with Savage.
Fifth Contest: Bam-Bam Bigelow vs. Jerry Lawler: The crowd explodes as Bigelow destroys Lawler in the corner with right hands and two big splashes in the corner. Bigelow doesn’t even allow Lawler to take off his cape as he slams the King down to the canvas and hits a diving head butt off the top rope to win the match rather quickly. (Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Jerry Lawler, 1:40, *) After the match, Bigelow tosses Lawler to the floor and pounds on his chest as the fans chant for Bam-Bam.
Sixth Contest: Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Marty Jannetty: Marty got some quick offense in with arm drags and a dropkick. Hunter is staggering when Jannetty hits a head scissors. Jannetty comes off the ropes but is met with a high knee from Hunter. Hunter took control for several moments which saw him hit a gut wrench suplex and a gut buster. Shortly afterward, Hunter hit the Pedigree to win the match. (Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Marty Jannetty, 7:29, **3/4)
Main Event: WWF World Champion the Undertaker & Scott Steiner vs. King Yokozuna & WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel: Martel and Taker started the bout with Taker pummeling Martel in the corner and looking Yoko on the apron, which scared Yoko. Martel sent into the ropes and Taker hit a leaping clothesline. Steiner got tagged in and worked over Martel with an overhead belly to belly suplex and a tilt a whirl side slam. Martel stopped Steiner with a jaw breaker and tagged in Yoko who hit a belly to belly suplex and followed up with a leg drop for a near fall. Steiner avoided a running back splash in the corner and tagged in Taker. Taker gets his hands on Yoko with right hands and goes for a chokeslam, but Martel enters and breaks that up. Steiner and Martel fall over the top to the floor. Taker gets up but Yoko has the salt bucket from Mr. Fuji and whacks Taker over the head to cause the disqualification. Yoko drags Taker to the corner and hits the Bonzai Drop! Yoko and Fuji get the WWF World Championship and nail Steiner in the head with it as he ran into the ring. Yoko, Martel, Fuji and Tamara all stand tall in the ring holding the gold. (Undertaker & Scott Steiner defeated King Yokozuna & Rick Martel by disqualification, 13:00, ***)
WWF Wrestling Challenge 7/17/1994 1. Jeff Jarrett defeated Chris Kanyon in 3:05 following a jumping DDT. 2. the Headshrinkers defeated Bruiser Bob & AJ Fatal in 2:44 when Fatu pinned Bob after a top rope big splash. 3.

Another update, another week of good stuff from you, Triple Bob!
Raw certainly has some neat stuff to it. Bret Hart never did get his revenge against Lex Luger and I imagine you'll be building toward that final showdown at SummerSlam. Wow, you have really evil Doink know. I wonder where you go with him. I also wonder where you're going with this newly face Bam Bam. Interesting main event between Razor and Yokozuna with their respective foes getting involved. Vega whipping Razor with a strap, that wouldn't happen to be a Carribean strap, would it?
Decent episode of Superstars, though there wasn't much going on there. I guess with Raw now two hours you probably won't need that show as much now. Ditto for Wrestling Challenge, which had even less happen.
Good MSG card with some solid action throughout. One thing thought, I'm not sure about Bam Bam squashing Lawler, especially since Lawler has a pay-per-view match with Steiner coming up. Not that I was expecting Lawler to beat Steiner (which would be silly). Also I see you had Norton and Savage fight to a no contest, guess you couldn't have either one lose prior to the tag match at IYH. Of course you did the traditional PPV matches tag team, which saw the heels come out on top despite the DQ loss to build heat for their inevitable showdowns at SummerSlam.
One again another good update. I hope you keep it up since In Your House and SummerSlam are really coming together.

Another great week of shows, including a great MSG card. I have to say, I didn't think you were going for a full-fledged babyface turn for Bam Bam, but surprisingly, I think you've made me believe in it. I can't wait for the upcoming IYH show, and especially SummerSlam. This diary is excellent reading, and I'm thankful you keep it going.

Bob, in my opinion may have saved the best to last.
All I need from a diary is results to be told if anything significent happens and for there to be a vision. Your diary does it all and you got a vote or 2 from me in the Simmy's.
For me in 94 there's a little 2 much Hogan/Flair but not by any means are they holding anyone back. In fact u are spoilt with options in the Main Event scene. I would like a little more Hitman up top and it seems I may get my wish eventually. Early prediction Bret wins next Rumble.
Top too bottom there is something happening, everything happens for a reason. There never seems like a filler week.

The first diary I read on here and the one that made me want to try my hand at this. I love how every little piece of this feels organically booked and flows one right into another. Nothing ever feels wasted, and everyone is booked to their correct abilities.
Certainly eager to see where you go next.

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 11th July 1994...Okay, it's been a while. John Bradshaw kicking off RAW in his debut was what was expected, poor Barry Horowitz though. What's interesting to see however is Bradshaw as a face. Maybe it's preference, but I always preferred him as a heel. Scott Norton with a win next was fine, strange to see Norton challenge Randy Savage on the flagship show on the USA Network - a national TV company - to a match held on a regional network like the MSG Network. Just strikes me as odd. Bret Hart's interview was pretty good, getting ready for some retribution against Lex Luger, whatever he did to Bret. The Quebecers and Marty Jannetty with wins are fine, not a lot to write home about here. Bob Holly with an update was a strange one, but I liked the way you incorporated a storyline into these usually useless vignettes. So Bob Holly has a rival in Doink the Clown, I like it and I liked the cliffhanger. Owen Hart with a win was nice, followed by the King's Court, used as a vehicle for Jerry Lawler to promote his upcoming feuds. I'm confused as to where his character direction is going, given the three diverse superstars he made a subject of this angle. Crush with a win against the Kamikaze Kid was fine, as was Sionne with a victory. Doink the Clown's interview was a nice touch, following on from the Bob Holly segment earlier on. Strange, but very 1994 of you. Shawn Michaels and Diesel defeating Men on a Mission was pretty good to get the WWF Tag Team Champions over as dominant. Scott Steiner with a win was cool, and lastly, Razor Ramon beating King Yokozuna by count-out made for a fun main event. I liked the involvement from the Undertaker and Carlos Vega, preparing the upcoming feuds for what I suspect will climax at In Your House #3. Fun show, a lot going on.
WWF Superstars: Saturday 16th July 1994...The British Bulldog and Jim Neidhart kicked things off in a solid tag team match against the Quebecers, I liked the pairing in this one. I wonder if this tag team feud will resume - in fact, I'm wondering if the Bulldog and Jim Neidhart could be the next top contenders to the WWF Tag Team Championships, held by Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Hunter Hearst Helmsley with a win was fine, followed by an interview with...Ron Simmons and...Marty Jannetty? Strange pairing, I can't really say I see it working with their chemistries. I guess it's a combination of problems spawning from Helmsley and Bob Backlund. I don't know, could be cool I guess. Tatanka with a win was fine, followed by a solid angle with Rick Martel and Scott Steiner - I can see the WWF Intercontinental Championship in Steiner's near future. And lastly, Chris Benoit with a win was fine, as was Carlos Vega defeating Bart Gunn. I do wonder when Billy Gunn will be returning. Not too bad, nothing special on this one. WWF @ Madison Square Garden: Saturday 16th July 1994...How many times have we seen Owen Hart face Chris Benoit now? Surely they must be nearly finished. Owen Hart defeating Chris Benoit was a solid opening contest in two out of three falls. Following this, Shawn Michaels defeating Fatu was fine, in a pretty low spot on the card, really. Was quite a strange positioning for Shawn, unless you don't see the uppercard in Michaels' singles career direction any time soon. Ted Dibiase victorious against the Kamikaze Kid was expected. Following this, a decent match between Scott Norton and Randy Savage. I like how Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett and Norton have joined forces. Hulk Hogan's appearance was a surprise, a nice one at that. But a pretty strange decision with the match going out of the window. Tensions are flying, and I wonder where Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton fit into things between Ric Flair and the Masked Man, and the Mega-Powers, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. I'm also wondering what is in Hogan, Savage and Flair's future after this angle, long-term in the WWF. Next, comedy win for Bam Bam Bigelow in quick fashion against Jerry Lawler - baffled by the point of this match, frankly. Hunter Hearst Helmsley was obvious going to beat Marty Jannetty, in the calm-down match prior to the main event. And lastly, the Undertaker and Scott Steiner defeating King Yokozuna and Rick Martel made for a decent main event, but could have used a singles main event. Overall, this was an average show really, in comparison to previous shows that were presented to look bigger. I just think this was a slightly weakly booked card.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 17th July 1994...Jeff Jarrett beating a young Chris Kanyon was a fine match, followed by the Headshrinkers and Bam Bam Bigelow with wins. Lastly, Randy Savage with a win against Jimmy Del Rey made for a mildly competitive main event. Overall, this was a nothing show. It's a shame really, but I think it's about time for the Wrestling Challenge to come to an end. A fairly booked weak of television, nothing too exciting, however.

Week 29: July 18th - July 24th
WWF RAW 7/18/1994 1. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Norton defeated Men on a Mission in 7:56 when Jarrett pinned Mo after a jumping DDT. After the match, Ric Flair entered the ring and cut a promo telling the fans that Norton and Jarrett will take out Hogan and Savage this Sunday at In Your House and that the Dynasty will be on top of the WWF. 2. Marty Jannetty defeated Eric Escobar in 2:33 following the Rocker Dropper. During the match, Bob Backlund appeared with Hunter Hearst Helmsley to watch Jannetty in action. 3. Shawn Michaels & Diesel Interview: Jim Ross interviewed WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels and Diesel regarding their title match against the Headshrinkers this Sunday at In Your House. Michaels isn’t afraid of the “freaks who hit themselves in the head” because when it comes to competing in the squared circle, no one can touch them. Diesel chimes in and says that the WWF World Tag Team Championships aren’t going to go anywhere and when the titles are on the line that’s when they are at their best. “We took out the Steiner Brothers and we’ll take out the Headshrinkers this Sunday.” 4. Jerry Lawler defeated Greg Robson in 2:44 following a piledriver. 5. The British Bulldog defeated Ludvig Borga by disqualification in 5:04 when Ted DiBiase came out and attacked the Bulldog. DiBiase brought Diana into the ring while Borga held Bulldog and proposes to Diana to marry him! Bulldog is irate as this is happening right in-front of his face. Diana grins at Bulldog and says YES! DiBiase lets out an evil laugh before continuing his attack on Bulldog until officials run down. 6. John Bradshaw Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with John Bradshaw. Bradshaw talks about the bar fights he has been in and says that from what he has seen in the WWF, there isn’t anyone that he is afraid of. That comment brings out Crush, who tells Bradshaw to watch how he speaks around here because he has been dominating the WWF for a year now. Bradshaw tells Crush that he especially is intimdated by Crush. Crush chuckles and decks Bradshaw with a right hand, which leads to a brawl between the two of them until officials break them up. 7. Carlos Vega defeated Tom Wilson in 2:59 following a spinning heel kick. 8. King Yokozuna defeated Frank Thomas & Jeremy Howard in 2:11 following a Bonzai Drop on Howard. 9. Razor Ramon defeated George Scott in 2:09 following the Razors Edge 10. Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with the Mega Powers, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage regarding their match this Sunday against the Dynasty members Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton. Hogan tells McMahon that they are ready to go to war against the Dynasty and they want to shut Jarrett up. Hogan admits that Norton is one strong man, but he fought men stronger than Norton and he will power slam Norton straight down to the mat, brother. Savage chimes in and says that he has a lot of aggression bottled up and he is going to let some out on Jarrett and Norton, but he will save all of it for SummerSlam when they take on Flair and the masked man once and for all!
