[credit: Chaz] World Wrestling Federation presents Summer Slam Date: 8/29/1994 From: Chicago, IL Arena: United Center Attendance: 23,000 Commentators: Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan SummerSlam 1994 kicks off with a video promoting the multiple main event quality matches. The video highlights the road to redemption for Bret Hart as he takes on Lex Luger in a submission match, which is a rematch from SummerSlam last year when Lex Luger won the WWF World Championship. The video continues by promoting the Mega Powers vs. Dynasty bout. Will we find out who the masked wrestler is tonight in Chicago? Lastly, tonight the Undertaker takes on the biggest challenger he has ever faced before, King Yokozuna with the WWF World Championship on the line. It’s going to be night filled with hot action… it’s time for SUMMERSLAM! Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan welcome everyone to the biggest event of the summer! Ross quickly promotes the show and mentions the Dynasty vs. Mega Powers match. Heenan obviously sides with his friend Ric Flair saying that tonight Hulkamania will be done once and for all and his buddy Randy Savage will be sent packing too, it’s going to be a great night! They continue with promoting Hart vs. Luger which Heenan says will see Hart fail at his redemption quest and he will tap out in the middle of the ring like the baby he truly is. “Bret Hart lacks on thing that Lex Luger has and that’s an actual heart, the will to win!” They lastly promote the main event with Heenan commentating that Yokozuna is going to Bonzai Drop The Undertaker through the ring and a new champion will be crowned! But, first, Jim Ross sends us to the ring for the WWF Intercontinental Championship to kick off the pay per view! Opening Contest: WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel vs. Scott Steiner: Tamara tried to distract Steiner in the opening moments, but Scott avoided Martel from behind and opened the match with a flurry of offense that included a tilt a whirl slam for a near fall. Steiner followed up with a double under hook suplex but Martel bailed to the floor. Martel got control when he dropped Scott throat first across the top from the apron and focused his attack on the lower back of Steiner. Martel delivered several back breakers but Steiner just wouldn’t stay down. Late in the match, Martel attempted the Boston Crab, but Steiner used his leg strength to send Martel into the corner chest first. Steiner sent Martel into the ropes and hit the Frankensteiner to win the title! (Scott Steiner over Rick Martel, ***, 11:05)Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Dynasty members Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton. Jarrett takes the lead of the promo saying that Perfect’s triumph return will be wasted as Scott Norton is too strong and great like the Dynasty to lose to a guy like Mr. Perfect. Jarrett promises a clean sweep for the Dynasty tonight! Second Contest: Scott Norton vs. Mr. Perfect: Norton used his size and strength early on to pummel Perfect in the corner. However, Perfect fought back by ducking under a clothesline and dropkicking Norton. Perfect managed to take Norton down with a neck breaker and nearly won after a middle rope knee drop. Late in the match, Perfect went for the Perfect Plex, but Norton powered out of it and drove Perfect down to the canvas with a shoulder breaker. Perfect got up holding his shoulder and was met with a middle rope body strike from Norton, which was good enough for the win. (Scott Norton over Mr. Perfect, 7:33, *1/2)Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Ron Simmons and Marty Jannetty. Jannetty realizes that they are an odd pairing to be teamed together but they have the same goal of getting revenge on Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Bob Backlund. Simmons says tonight it’s about getting respect and he knows tonight everyone will respect Ron Simmons. Third Contest: Hunter Hearst Helmsley & Bob Backlund vs. Ron Simmons & Marty Jannetty: Hunter and Marty worked the majority of the match with both men putting forth a great effort. Hunter nearly won with a spinning spine buster but Jannetty wouldn’t go away as he hit a tornado DDT and missile dropkick. Hunter planted Jannetty with a DDT and tagged in Backlund who figured he would be able to pick up the pieces. Jannetty proved otherwise by hitting a head scissors and made his way to the corner. Marty tagged in Simmons who was anxious to enter the match. Simmons waited for Backlund to get up, but instead he speared Jannetty into the corner and hit a thunderous inverted front power slam! Simmons blew snot on Jannetty and left the ring while Hunter was left confused as to what happened. Hunter would tag in, hit the Pedigree and pin Jannetty. (Hunter Hearst Helmsley & Bob Backlund over Marty Jannetty & Ron Simmons, 6:07, **)A video promoting the street fight between Razor Ramon and Carlos Vega is aired. Their feud has been going on for several months now and tonight it’s settled without any restrictions. Viewer discretion is advised. Backstage, Todd Pettengill tries to get a word with Simmons, but Ron has no interest and shoves Pettengill to the ground telling him to get out of his way. Simmons leaves the arena with Todd shocked on the floor. Fourth Contest: Razor Ramon vs. Carlos Vega in a Street Fight: Ramon leaves the ring and tackles Vega on the aisle way and pummels his former leader. Ramon sends Carlos back first into the corner and drops Vega face first across the ring steps. Ramon grabs a steel chair but gets the chair kicked back into his face and Vega shoves Ramon shoulder first into the ring post. They enter the ring where Vega nearly won after a spin kick in the corner. Vega grabbed a chain from his boot and used that to maintain control over Ramon by choking and whipping the Bad Guy. Vega used the chain to clothesline Ramon across the throat and nearly got a three count for doing so. Vega brought a trash can into the mix but Razor used it against Carlos by hitting a fall away slam onto the trash can. Ramon nearly won after a middle rope back suplex. Late in the match, Vega attempted a piledriver on a chair, but Razor got out of the move and hit a discus clothesline. Razor quickly set up and hit the Razors Edge onto the trash can to win the battle. (Razor Ramon over Carlos Vega, 12:58, ***) After the match, Ramon played to the crowd while Vega was heard on the aisle way saying that he wasn’t through with Ramon. A video promoting the last several weeks involving the British Bulldog and Ted DiBiase is aired. The video highlights on the recent marriage episode of RAW which saw DiBiase reveal it was all a ruse to breakup the relationship with Bulldog and Diana. Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Ted DiBiase who is full of smilies and says that for the past year he has been creating havoc over the Hart Family and he has loved every minute of it. Tonight, he finishes off his plan by embarrassing the British Bulldog in front of everyone in Chicago and the millions watching on pay per view. Backstage, the British Bulldog is seen walking towards the curtain when Diana Smith comes over and tries to pled her case to Bulldog, but he simply ignores and it’s clear she has been an emotional wreck as of late. Fifth Contest: Ted DiBiase vs. The British Bulldog: Bulldog runs over DiBiase several times with clotheslines and follows up with a military press slam. DiBiase tries to fight back with chops but Bulldog doesn’t even pudge. Bulldog sends DiBiase into the ropes and hit a snap power slam for a near fall. IRS ran down to try and get involved but Bulldog knocked him off the apron. DiBiase kneed Bulldog from behind and briefly had control with a neck breaker and a series of falling fist drops. Ted attempted a middle rope backward elbow drop, but Bulldog moved out of the way. Bulldog put DiBiase over his shoulder and hit a big running power slam, but proceeded to hit the move two more times. Bulldog covered and beat DiBiase in a dominating fashion. (The British Bulldog over Ted DiBiase, 6:14, *1/2) Backstage, Todd Pettengill chats with the Smoking Gunns regarding their upcoming tag team title match. Bart says that for months now they have been under the radar and tonight is their chance to make a splash in the WWF and be recognized as one of the best teams in the world. Billy chimes in and says that they are going to give it their all and they won’t settle for anything less than WWF championship gold around their waist! Sixth Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & Diesel vs. The Smoking Gunns: Shawn and Bart started the match with Bart overpowering Michaels and hitting various slams and a couple of dropkicks. Bart also delivered an impressive delayed vertical suplex. Bart missed a splash in the corner and Michaels hit a side suplex before tagging in Diesel. Diesel enters and runs over Bart with a huge big boot and followed up with a side slam. Bart ducks enter a clothesline and chop blocked Diesel’s knee to allow Billy to tag in and hit a top rope cross body for a near fall. Billy jabbed Diesel several times in the corner and attempted a splash but was caught and promptly dropped face first across the top turnbuckle. Diesel tagged Michaels back in and Shawn hit a top rope elbow drop but played to the fans before going for a cover, which allowed Billy to kick out at two. Michaels attempted a super kick, but Billy avoided it and hit a leaping leg drop bulldog! Billy slowly crawled over and tagged in Bart as Diesel was tagged back in as well. Bart overwhelmed Diesel with a series of strikes and hit an impressive snap power slam for a near fall. Bart worked over Diesel in the corner and Michaels snuck in a tag. Diesel attempted a big boot on Bart, but missed and was crotched over the top rope. Billy came off the top rope and clotheslined Diesel to the floor! Michaels attempted a back suplex, but Bart landed on his feet and delivered an atomic drop while Billy went up top. Bart grabbed a stunned Michaels for a side slam and Billy hit a leg drop from the top! Bart covers and pins Michaels to win the tag titles! (The Smoking Gunns over Shawn Michaels & Diesel, 15:29, ***1/2) After the match, Diesel gets to his feet and flips out about the loss while Michaels asks where he was. They head to the back while the Gunns celebrate the win. Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Bob Holly. Holly talks about the near career-ending crash he had due to Doink the Clown being in a disguise to cut the brakes on his car. Holly doesn’t think anything about it was funny and is going to turn that smile upside down. Holly finishes off saying that tonight he will snap Doink in half. Seventh Contest: Doink the Clown vs. Bob Holly: Doink had control for most of the contest as it was evident that Holly was not at 100%. Holly tried his best to get revenge on Doink for his horrific actions, and nearly won after a top rope cross body. However, Doink was able to hit a German duplex and followed up with the Whoopee Cushion from the top to get the three count. (Doink the Clown defeated Bob Holly, 6:08, **) Backstage, Todd Pettengill interviews Lex Luger. Luger is relaxed and tells Pettengill that Bret has never beaten him and has never come close to doing so. Luger sees this as a minor detour to him regaining the WWF World Championship. Luger suggests that it will be a quick and painless night. Eighth Contest: Lex Luger vs. Bret Hart in a Submission Match: Luger and Hart open the match hammering away on each other with Hart getting the better of the change. Hart sends Lex to the floor with a clothesline and followed where he rammed Luger into the apron back first a few times. Back in the ring, Hart followed up with a hooking clothesline and stomped away on Luger’s face. Lex fought back with a series of forearms and a snap power slam. Luger continued his offense with a vertical suplex and a running clothesline to the back of Bret’s head. Lex attempted a middle rope superplex but Hart shoved Luger off and hit a middle rope bulldog! Bret tried for the Sharpshooter but Luger kicked Hart away and Bret went shoulder first into the ring post. Luger grabbed a hurting Bret and delivered a shoulder breaker to the injured shoulder. Lex continued to drive knees onto the shoulder but Hart wouldn’t give up. Luger attempted the Torture Rack, but Hart slid out of the hold and quickly hit a back breaker. Bret comes off the middle rope to hit a forearm drop and drags Luger to the middle of the ring where he locks in the Sharpshooter. Luger tries to reach the ropes, but is forced to submit. Bret Harts road to redemption is complete. (Bret Hart over Lex Luger, 14:42, ***)Backstage, Todd Pettengill interviews the recently returned Jim Cornette, who is managing Yokozuna due to the recent disappearance of Johnny Polo. Cornette says that tonight the mighty Yokozuna will add more gold to his attire as the WWF World Championship will finally be in his camp and he couldn't be more excited about it. Ninth Contest: Bam-Bam Bigelow vs. Jerry Lawler: Prior to the match, Lawler made fun on Bigelow and his head covered in flames. Lawler didn't understand how people could cheer for a guy like Bigelow but boo royalty. Lawler claimed he was going to piledrive Bigelow on the concrete floor. Lawler handed the microphone off in the corner and Bigelow decided to splash King chest first into the corner. Bam-Bam slammed Lawler down to the mat and quickly hit a diving head butt from the top for the win and to embarrass Lawler on PPV yet again. (Bam-Bam Bigelow over Jerry Lawler, 1:19, *)Backstage, Todd Pettengill is with Paul Bearer to talk about the main event. Bearer tells Pettengill that the Undertaker isn’t afraid of any man and tonight he will take care of King Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette to retain the WWF World Championship. A video promoting the Mega Powers vs. Dynasty match is shown. Tenth Contest: Mega Powers vs. Ric Flair & The Masked Man: Savage and the Masked Man start the match with Savage jabbing the masked man in the corner several times until an eye rake stops that. The masked man works over Savage with forearm strikes and knee lifts in the corner. Savage is taken down with a gut wrench slam, which gets a near fall. Masked man scoop slams Savage and delivers a knee drop and tags in Flair after backing Randy into a the corner. Flair takes over with a series of chops and strikes, but Savage fights out with a series of strikes and soon backdrops Flair before following up with a clothesline. Savage tags in Hogan and Flair backs way to the corner as the fans are chanting for the Hulkster. They lockup and Hogan shoves Flair to the ground, but actually goes after Flair instead of playing to the fans. Hogan hammers away on Flair in the corner and hip tosses the Nature Boy out of the corner. Savage came back into the match but was worked over by the heels for quite sometime. The masked man nearly pinned Savage following a spine buster. Late in the match, Savage fought back and had the elbow drop lined up but Flair crotched Macho Man on the top. Hogan tagged in and knocked Flair off the apron. Hogan hit a big boot and the leg drop on the masked man to win the match. (Mega Powers over The Dynasty, 13:47, **1/2) After the match, Hogan plays to the crowd and goes to rip off the mask, but Flair comes back into the ring. Savage sends Flair back over the top and we see Scott Norton and Jeff Jarrett coming down, but Savage grabs a chair and keeps them on the floor. Hogan bites the forehead of the masked man and rips the mask off to reveal that the masked man has been… Arn Anderson! Hogan and Savage are stunned as the Dynasty pull Anderson out of the ring. Mega Powers celebrate with the mask in hand to end the segment. Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan promote the main event and they also announce the third In Your House pay per view taking place on September 25th from Providence, Rhode Island! Main Event: WWF World Champion The Undertaker vs. King Yokozuna: Yokozuna works over Taker with a series of strikes in the corner and hit a belly to belly suplex. Yokozuna comes off the ropes and attempted a leg drop, but Taker rolled out of the way and fought back with a series of strikes. Taker tries a few clotheslines to knock Yokozuna off his feet but fails at doing so until the third attempt. Taker followed up with an arm twist and walked the ropes before jumping off across Yoko’s shoulder for a near fall. Yoko stops the champ with a throat thrust and hit a running back splash in the corner. Taker is sent to the floor where Cornette gets a few shots in on the champ before Taker rolls back into the ring. Yoko kept a slow pace with a nerve hold, but Taker fought back and hit a leaping clothesline. Taker went to the top and hit another leaping clothesline for a near fall. Late in the match, Yokozuna attempted the Bonzai Drop but Taker got up and slammed Yokozuna off the middle rope. Taker signaled for a choke slam and hit the move! Taker covered and picked up the win over King Yokozuna! (The Undertaker over King Yokozuna, 8:20, *1/2) After the match, Jim Cornette tried to hit Taker with his tennis racket but Taker blocked it and hit a tombstone piledriver on Cornette. Taker is handed the WWF World Championship and poses with Paul Bearer to end the pay per view.

Awesome SummerSlam card and well worth waiting for. You had some (pleasantly) predictable moments (Steiner winning IC title, Arn revealed as the Masked Man), as well as a couple that genuinely surprised me (Smoking Gunns winning tag titles, Simmons turning on Jannetty). Can't wait to see what you do with Simmons as a heel. I can't wait to see more of Arn Anderson in your WWF. Oh, and your IYH 3 takes place on my birthday, and with it taking place a state away from where I grew up, I would've begged my parents to go as my gift - if it were "real time" 1994. Anyway, thank you for this, and I hope to see this take off again soon.

World Wrestling Federation News: - WWF officials are said to be quite happy with how SummerSlam played out. There was serious discussion to have Yokozuna win the WWF World Championship, but they decided to hold off. - Rumors have been circulating that Diesel and Shawn Michaels would be splitting up. The expectation is that they would not work as a tag team but go back to singles roles, but remain an alliance. - Arn Anderson was revealed as the masked man at SummerSlam. He had been playing the role for the last several weeks while prior to that Steve Keirn was under the mask. It's believed that Anderson has signed a multi-year deal with the WWF. - Ron Simmons heel turn was planned for several weeks. Officials believed that Simmons had lost a lot of steam as a baby face and his role as a heel would increase interest in him. It's believe that the company may go with a racially driven angle. - SummerSlam was the last match for Ted DiBiase who has effectively retired from in-ring action. DiBiase had wanted to retire after Mania, but McMahon convinced DiBiase to delay it for the summer. DiBiase will be transitioning to a managerial role. - Doink the Clown is getting a major push. It's been speculated that a second clown could be coming to the company to form a tag team, as well.

Can't wait to read more of this diary. Interesting to learn who else besides Arn was under the mask. For the Doink push, are you going the little clown route, or an actual tag team? Keep up the great job.

WWF SummerSlam: Monday 29th August 1994…Ah the days where WWF pay-per-views were held on random days of the week. I actually watched this show a few months ago, and knowing that this is in the big United Center in Chicago, Illinois makes sense given how big you have made the card for this show. Let’s go to work. Rick Martel defending the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Scott Steiner was the right choice for this match. It’s good to see Scotty get the win and gain his first singles title in the World Wrestling Federation here – it’s a SummerSlam worthy moment, for sure. Hopefully Scotty doesn’t get on the steroids anytime soon. That said, you also gave Martel a strong, lengthy reign so no complaints here. I wonder where he will go from here. Scott Norton with a victory against Mr Perfect made sense, it was a comedown from the opener. Norton could be an uppercard guy in this WWF in my mind. I always liked Norton’s work. Slightly strange finish with a dive from the second rope giving him the win, though. Perfect’s in his ideal role at this stage of his career. Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Bob Backlund are in purgatory waiting for babyfaces to claim the WWF Tag Team Championships, in my opinion. I think they’re definitely en route to a future title opportunity. Fair win against Ron Simmons and Marty Jannetty – it’s a shame that this is what it’s come to for former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ron Simmons – and Marty Jannetty I’m surprised is still employed. You have done a splendid job of building up Carlos Vega in an original way to real life against Razor Ramon, and this was a strong Street Fight. It sounded different to the norm at the time: definitely more violent than I figured for WWF in 1994. Ramon with the clean win was strange – now I have to wonder where you plan on taking Vega from this point on. I’m also wondering if this feud will stretch out to WrestleMania XI or not: it’d be realistic on its time period. I think you may have thrown the Street Fight stipulation out there too soon, though. The British Bulldog finally beating Ted Dibiase was good: your booking for Dibiase has been fantastic, but it’s time for this series to finally come to an end, and it looked that way with a surprisingly short win for Bulldog here. I wonder what’s next for Bulldog from here. Wow, you gave the WWF Tag Team Championships to the Smoking Gunns! There’s the switch. I think the fact that you had an interview with Billy and Bart before the match helped the decision. Meanwhile, Diesel and Shawn Michaels can begin their slow-burn to a break up, whilst the Smoking Gunns make their first set of title defences against Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Bob Backlund. Very wise move. Doink the Clown beating Bob Holly was expected – it didn’t really belong on this show though. It cut time from Bulldog and Dibiase’s feud ender and the Street Fight in my mind. I was surprised to see Lex Luger and Bret Hart this early in the show – then again this is quite the packed show. I’m surprised that you haven’t given Bret another reign as WWF Champion yet. Solid win for Bret, who could move into the contention picture shortly now. I wonder what Luger will do now that he has been reborn as a heel (rightfully). Bam Bam Bigelow with a squash win against Jerry Lawler was the right call – I wonder where Bigelow could go. It’s a shame, because if he was a heel he would be a great choice to challenge new Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner before anybody else. The Mega Powers reuniting to beat Ric Flair and…Arn Anderson? Nice. Good call not having Tully Blanchard come with. My only complaint with this is that Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Randy Savage don’t fit the mold – and so I’m hoping for them to slowly fade out following WrestleMania XI. It’s been a solid feud, but I think it just creates a huge divide between the main event scene and the rest of the card. Additionally strange that Hogan, Savage and Flair have just ignored the WWF Championship scene and arguably been overshadowed the title picture. The Undertaker beating Yokozuna made sense for the main event, and it was pleasantly kept short. Good choice there – I just wish ‘Taker had some kind of substance to back his title reign: he’s just kind of there, being overshadowed by Hogan, Savage, Flair and Anderson’s situation. Hopefully he switches the title to somebody of long-term worth soon. A solid SummerSlam, my only complaint is that the amount of matches probably cut the time of half of the card as well as the match quality.

First things first, I want to applaud you for having a diary that's been going since 2010. I'm gonna do my best here since it's been a while. Bobby Heenan still being around is excellent. Great choice for an opener and Scott Steiner winning the Intercontinental Title is perfect. I felt like the guy had a high ceiling and loads of potential during his WWF run and owuld have loved to see him get some singles shine. Dynasty is a pretty cool group. Not a big fan of Mr. Perfect losing to Scott Norton but mainly due to my absolute love of Perfect. I did enjoy Norton's early work and he makes for a good monster. These two teams seem odd, but I actually kind of like Bob Backlund and Hunter as a team during this era. Fun street fight but I never liked Vega as a heel. He was fine as a babyface but so dull on the other side. Razor Ramon hopefully moves into bigger things now. I like the sound of the angle between Ted Dibiase and British Bulldog. Personal stuff usually works well. Bulldog getting some revenge was fine. Stunned that the Smoking Guns beat Shawn Michaels and Diesel. I was never a fan of the Guns but I can see leading to Diesel vs. Shawn eventually. Doink over Bob Holly seemed like fine filler. Not sure if it was needed on this card. Love that Bret Hart bested Lex Luger. I feel that Bret is obviously he superior worker and I want this to lead to Bret maybe being WWF Champion again. Bam Bam Bigelow squash works. The Mega Powers being around in 1994 is odd especially against Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. Seems very WCW like. One of my favorite things about this era is that a lot of younger guys got to establish themselves, which may be hard to do with veterans like this around. For instance, my favorite during this era was Owen Hart and I don't see him on the card. Maybe he's hurt. I can't recall. Realistic main event for the era but it seems like it was a bit overshadowed by the big tag match. Overall, this was a fine show with some cool moments. Hope to see this back on a consistent basis.

Week #35: August 29th - September 4th
WWF RAW was pre-emptied this week. RAW returns on September 12th.
WWF Superstars 9/3/1994 1. The Quebecers defeated Barry Horowitz & Scott Taylor in 3:19 when Pierre pinned Taylor. During the match, a pre-tape promo by the Quebecers made it evident that they wanted a tag team title shot against the new champions, the Smoking Gunns. 2. Ron Simmons Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Ron Simmons regarding his actions at SummerSlam. Simmons is clearly annoyed and tells Ross that for over a year he has been fighting the good fight and for what? He was too busy trying to get the fans to support him and it cost him the opportunity to be the WWF Intercontinental Champion. Ron notes that he has never gotten a WWF World Championship match and is sick of Jack Tunney overlooking him for a guy like Bret Hart or the Undertaker. Simmons claims that he is the best athlete the WWF has to offer and he is championship material. He isn’t going to be held down by the fans, Marty Jannetty or racism by Jack Tunney or any other WWF official. Simmons tells Ross that he’ll take Marty Jannetty out on September 25th and there will be championship gold around his waist sooner rather than later. 3. Razor Ramon defeated Matt Hardy in 2:45 following the Razors Edge. After the match, Carlos Vega entered the ring and attacked Ramon from behind. Vega pulled a leather strap from out of his ring gear and viciously whipped Ramon across the back along with choking Ramon with the strap until officials ran down to make the save. 4. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated IRS in 6:11 following a diving head butt. During the match, a pre-tape promo by Bigelow was aired and he issued a challenge to the Undertaker or Yokozuna to give him a title shot if they had the courage to do so. 5. Scott Steiner Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with the new WWF Intercontinental Champion, Scott Steiner. Scott tells Vince that after the unfortunate injury to his brother that he didn’t know where his career was going to go. He was given the chance to be successful on his own and took advantage of it and defeated Rick Martel to win the prestigious WWF Intercontinental Championship. Steiner tells McMahon that he will give anyone a title shot whether Martel wants a piece of him again or if Ron Simmons wants to prove himself to Steiner in the ring, it doesn’t matter, because Scott Steiner is going to do whatever it takes to keep the gold around his waist for a long time to come. Vince asks about Rick Steiner and if the Steiner Brothers will reform upon his return. Steiner is noncommittal but says the Steiner Brothers goes past just being a tag team, they are brothers and will have each others back no matter what. 6. Jack Tunney Announcement: Jack Tunney announces that on September 25th the Undertaker will defend the WWF World Championship against Yokozuna and the match will be held with a no disqualification stipulation. 7. Bob Holly defeated Doink the Clown by disqualification in 6:15 when a bigger clown coming in and attacking Holly. The mysterious clown was constantly laughing and hit a top rope moonsault before posing with Doink to end the program.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 9/4/1994 1. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Paul Diamond in 2:33 following the Pedigree 2. The British Bulldog defeated Vance Grant in 2:46 following a running power slam 3. WWF World Tag Team Champion the Smoking Gunns defeated Chris Kanyon & Mark Starr 4. Marty Jannetty defeated Bob Backlund in 5:11 following the Rocker Dropper

Interesting week, despite not having Raw.
I hope you're aiming towards Simmons-Martel for the IC title. We had great interviews from both men. I love the serious take-no-**** attitude of Simmons, as well as the contrast of Scott Steiner's full on singles babyface run. I love how vague he was about teaming with Rick again.
Well, I guess you went the opposite way with the Doink program. I can't wait to read who this new clown will be. From the match description, I'm guessing Bill DeMott as Hugh Morrus as a clown.
I can't wait to read more. Keep up the awesome work!

Week #36: September 5th - September 11th
WWF RAW was pre-emptied this week. RAW returns on September 12th.
WWF Superstars 9/10/1994 1. Arn Anderson defeated Bob Wade in 2:33 following a spine buster. 2. Arn Anderson Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Arn Anderson following his victory. Anderson talks about SummerSlam and how he was revealed as being the masked man, but he doesn’t care about not being under the mask anymore. He would prefer for Hogan and Savage to see the man that is going to help rid them of the WWF and end their careers. Anderson is focused on Randy Savage and issues a challenge to the Macho Man for In Your House on September 25th. 3. The British Bulldog defeated Paul Anderson in 2:10 following a running power slam. During the bout, pre-tape comments from Bulldog featured him talking about retiring Ted DiBiase and his goal of winning the WWF World Championship. 4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Chris Jones in 2:45 following the Pedigree. 5. Razor Ramon Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Razor Ramon regarding his feud with Carlos Vega. Ramon has a strap with him, similar to one that Vega used on him last week on Superstars. Ramon says that while he won at SummerSlam, the issue with Vega is over because Vega is still a thorn in his side. Razor tells McMahon that if Vega wants to use a strap, then they are going to make it legal at In Your House on September 25th because he wants Carlos Vega in a strap match! “Carlos, you and the Bad Guy tied at the wrist with nowhere to run. You want more of this? You’ve got it.” 6. Ron Simmons defeated Mike Williams in 1:34 following a spear. During the match, Marty Jannetty cut a promo saying that Simmons is going to regret turning on him. 7. John Bradshaw defeated Ludvig Borga in 8:15 following a lariat. After the match, Crush came down to ringside but backed away saying “not right now.” It’s clear that the issue between Crush and Bradshaw isn’t over with.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 9/11/1994 1. Tatanka defeated Barry Horowitz in 2:05 following a Samoan Drop. It was evident that Tatanka had a much more aggressive attitude. 2. The Kamikaze Kid defeated Greg Wallace in 2:50 following a top rope moonsault. 3. The Headshrinkers defeated Mark Starr & Mike Miller in 2:33 when Fatu pinned Miller after a splash off the top. 4. Diesel defeated Seth Garrett in 2:33 following a power bomb.

Loving the Strap Match... The PPV is really shaping up, 1994 would've been a real happy birthday for me, if a card like yours was actually happening then. Thank you very much for all your writing, and I can't wait to read more.

Week 37: September 12th - September 18th WWF RAW 9/12/1994 1. The Kamikaze Kid defeated Steve King in 2:03 following a top rope moonsault 2. Crush defeated Bob Holly in 5:17 following the Kona Vice. After the match, Crush is interviewed regarding an upcoming title match against The Undertaker this weekend at Madison Square Garden. Crush tells Jim Ross that in five days he will be the champion and that the Undertaker will be rolled out of Garden and never seen again. Crush also tells us that he hasn’t finished his beef with John Bradshaw. 3. Mr. Perfect Interview: Jim Ross interviewed Mr. Perfect in the ring regarding his loss at SummerSlam to Scott Norton and where does he go now. Perfect tells Ross that he had high expectations since his return but he isn’t going to allow the loss to Scott Norton bother him. Perfect still believes that he is one of the best wrestlers today and Norton was just the better man on that night. As Perfect continues to talk, Hunter Hearst Helmsley comes down and cuts off the interview. Helmsley tells Perfect that he needs to wake up and realize that his career in professional wrestling is over with. Hunter believes it is time for guys like himself to be seen as the top players in the WWF. Hunter gently slaps Perfect on the cheek and tells him that it had been a good run and he needs to step aside. Perfect acts like he is going to leave the ring but proceeds to tackle Helmsley and delivers several right hands. Security runs into the ring and breaks up the fight as Perfect is yelling at Hunter that he will show him personally in the ring. 4. Carlos Vega defeated John Walker in 2:44 following a spinning heel kick. After the match, Vega whipped Walker with a strap until Razor Ramon ran down to the ring and ran Vega from the ring. 5. The Quebecers defeated Frank Thomas & Scott Taylor in 3:12 when Pierre pinned Taylor. During the match, pre-tape comments from the Quebecers saw them promise championship victory on 9/25 when they meet the Smoking Gunns for the WWF World Tag Team Championships 6. Rick Steiner Interview: Over the weekend, Jim Ross talked with Rick Steiner who is recovering from knee injury. Ross asks how Rick is doing and Rick says that he is just a few weeks away from returning since suffering the injury in April and looks forward to coming back. Ross turns his attention to Scott Steiner and asks Rick if he was surprised about his brother winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Rick puts his brother over and says that Scott is incredibly talented and knew he would achieve great things, just like he can too. Ross talks about how Scott has catapulted into singles competition and looks to be on the rise even further. Rick is starting to get annoyed with the questioning and knows that his brother is talented. Ross thinks that Scott could be champion for a long time and Rick agrees but says that the Steiner Brothers tag team is a priority and that the WWF World Tag Team Championships will be theirs again. 7. The Undertaker & Paul Bearer Interview: Todd Pettengill interviews the WWF World Champion the Undertaker and Paul Bearer regarding next weeks In Your House pay per view. Paul Bearer says that at SummerSlam Yokozuna was able to escape with his life and the ability to breath but now with the disqualification being waived, King Yokozuna will be put out to pasture once and for all. Undertaker chimes in and says that with no rules, he can use whatever he needs to end the career of Yokozuna and that’s what will happen at In Your House. “King Yokozuna, you will rest in peace.” 8. Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Carter in 2:58 following a super kick. After the match, Michaels was interviewed and told Jim Ross that he and Diesel are still a unit but his focus is back to singles gold. Shawn stated that he already has been the Intercontinental Champion and is setting his sights on the WWF World Championship. 9. Ron Simmons Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Ron Simmons regarding his recent actions. Simmons tells McMahon that when he signed with the WWF he was all patriotic and was fighting the good fight against guys like Yokozuna. Then, he got continually screwed over against Rick Martel because he believes the WWF management didn’t want an African American champion. Now, he was stuck tagging with a wannabe rocker. He is a former All-American and should be challenging for championships instead of wrestling a guy in near 50s on pay per view. Simmons singles McMahon out and tells Vince that whether he likes it or not he will hold championship gold and next Sunday he will beat some sense into Marty Jannetty. 10. King Yokozuna defeated Jim Neidhart in 2:14 following the Bonzai Drop. 11. Men on a Mission defeated Victor Worley & Matt Williams in 2:02 when Mabel pinned Victor after a splash. 12. The Dynasty Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with The Dynasty. Ric Flair is fired up as himself and Arn Anderson lost to the Mega Powers at SummerSlam. Flair tells Ross that he is obsessed with sending Hogan back to Hollywood and out of professional wrestling and the Dynasty will reign supreme in this feud. Flair tells Ross that himself, Anderson, Norton and Jarrett are a dominate force and they will destroy Hogan and Savage. Anderson chimes in and says that he will break the back of the Macho Man on September 25th and that will leave Hogan all by himself. Flair tells Ross that their loss at SummerSlam was just a hump in the road and that the Dynasty is stronger than ever and more focused. The WWF will not get rid of the Dynasty as their reign of terror has only just begun! 13. Doink the Clown defeated Chris Kanyon in 3:45 following the Whoopee Cushion. After the match, Doink cut a promo saying he will formally introduce his new friend from last week next week on RAW. 14. WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner defeated Rick Martel in a best two out of three falls match 2-0 in 19:33. Steiner won the first fall following a tilt a whirl back breaker and the second fall after the Frankensteiner. After the match, Tamara and Rick Martel sulked to the backstage area while Steiner celebrated his win until Bam-Bam Bigelow came from behind and attacked Steiner.

Wow... Action packed week this week. I love what looks like a slow, subtle heel turn by Rick Steiner. Could the jealously towards his brothers success send him over the edge, and into an IC title feud?
Speaking of turns, I like Simmons' transformation into the angry minority. Might we see an early version of the Nation Of Domination? Tagging with John Bradshaw? Even if not, I hope bigger things are coming for him.
I'm waiting excitedly to see who the new clown character is.
I can't wait to read the IYH card happening on my birthdate. Speaking of, a happy birthday to you, as well.

Good stuff this week that set up what's looking like a cool PPV card. I'm guessing Bigelow is going to be Steiner's next challenger, that should be a fun hard-hitting match. Interesting stuff with Rick, might he be growing jealous at his brother's singles success? I'm also sensing the Dynasty vs. Mega Powers feud is going to continue until a big blowoff at Survivor Series. Overall some great stuff. Hope to0 see where it goes soon.

WWF Superstars: Saturday 3rd September 1994…Oh boy, the lull period after SummerSlam where the first two weeks of RAW in September were pre-empted. This is my problem with the monthly pay-per-views at this point, to be honest. I know in actuality the World Wrestling Federation would have a legal obligation to fulfil the commitment of monthly pay-per-views as opposed to missing one, but man these B shows will lead to a disappointing buyrate come September’s In Your House, in my opinion. Maybe not, but I guess it depends on how you book television over the next few weeks. The Quebecers with a win to start was fine, as it appears you’re setting the French-Canadians up for the Smoking Gunns’ WWF Tag Team Championship. I don’t see Billy and Bart being dethroned already, so I see this being nothing more than a placeholder to solidify the Gunns at the core of your tag team division. Ron Simmons’ interview was fine, as it showed his true colours and began what should be a controversial (for its’ time) run as a heel. Simmons will most likely beat Marty Jannetty come In Your House, and I could see you maybe giving him a shot at the Intercontinental or WWF Championship by the year’s end. Razor Ramon with a win was fine, and it appears that his business with Carlos Vega isn’t done yet. A Caribbean Strap match seems to be on the cards, but I do wonder how long this rivalry will last. It’s adding more pieces to the puzzle slowly, however. So it keeps things fresh. Bam Bam Bigelow with a victory against Irwin R. Schyster made sense, keeping track of the pecking order. I’m not sure about seeing Bigelow face the Undertaker again after they already previously feuded, but I guess there’s not a whole lot else for Bam Bam to do in the near future. Scott Steiner’s interview was good, as it gave us a great story to go with after Steiner won the WWF Intercontinental Championship last week at SummerSlam. The Undertaker facing Yokozuna again later this month in a No-Disqualification match huh? Could be cool, but like at SummerSlam I see ‘Taker winning and retaining the WWF Championship. Also because I doubt Yokozuna facing Bam Bam Bigelow in the main event scene would be any good at this point. In Your House looks underwhelming so far, but I guess that’s due with the problematic lack of Monday Night RAWs between now and then. Always cool to see President Jack Tunney cameos, though. Bob Holly lastly beating Doink the Clown was fine, and the disqualification finish was what it was. A bigger clown? Oh boy, this angle could be fun. Overall, you’re making mends with the lack of RAW, but In Your House needs more work in my mind. It may be down to the comical undercarders, to be honest, though.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 4th September 1994…Hunter Hearst Helmsley continues to establish himself with a win, and I’m wondering where his career path will take him next. I could see him in an angle for the WWF Intercontinental Championship by the year’s end. The British Bulldog and the Smoking Gunns then with wins was also fine to remind us of what significance they had this past week at SummerSlam. Strange to see no sign of Shawn Michaels or Diesel this week, though. Marty Jannetty beating Bob Backlund was surprising, considering Backlund’s status as a former WWF Champion – but Jannetty’s getting ready to feud with Ron Simmons, so it doesn’t shock me too much that you’re getting ready to protect Marty as much as possible.
WWF Superstars: Saturday 10th September 1994…Arn Anderson! I forgot he was revealed as the mystery man, actually. A good win for him to introduce him legitimately under his real name. Fine interview with Anderson, and I could see Arn being used as the full-time member of the WWF roster, whereas Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Randy Savage will most likely be used sparingly for the remainder of their storyline. I could see Flair, Hogan, Savage and Anderson getting into something come Survivor Series this November slowly building to the climax at WrestleMania XI next year. Anderson and Savage is the redeeming factor for In Your House on September 25th right now. The British Bulldog with a win was cool, and now he’s chasing the WWF Championship…which could be interesting, but it depends who is in his way. I guess maybe Yokozuna could win the WWF Championship at In Your House? But at this point I’d avoid switching the title on the B-pay-per-view level In Your House is at. Hunter Hearst Helmsley with another win, still no sign of where his career could go next, though. Razor Ramon’s interview was fine, and we have the Caribbean Strap match practically everything but finalized here. Ron Simmons with a win was fine, and a good(ish) main event with newcomer John Bradshaw strangely playing the babyface role against Ludvig Borga. Not my ideal choice for Bradshaw to start off as a babyface, but it was cool for what it was. I’m wondering how much longer Ludvig will be around at this point, since he’s not done much of anything in a while I don’t believe. Bradshaw and Crush should be another match set up for In Your House, I’m thinking. Not a bad show, I think it was more newsworthy than last week and upped the prestige of In Your House this month more than before too. Things should definitely go swimmingly more come next week when RAW returns to the air, though.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 11th September 1994…Aggressive Tatanka…that could be cool I guess. Fair win for him, and a fine win for the Kamikaze Kid and the Headshrinkers as well. Diesel’s win was alright, but I was expecting to hear more, although I suppose we will find out from this Monday’s edition of RAW. This was what it was, I am wondering how long you plan on keeping the syndicate shows around, though.

Carlos Vega defeated Dave Howard in 2:34 following a spinning heel kick. After the match, Razor Ramon ran down and whipped Vega with a strap before Vega escaped and ran to the backstage area. 3. Kings Court w/ Diesel: Jerry Lawler interviewed former WWF World Tag Team Champion Diesel this week on Kings Court and asked him what his intentions were now that he is no longer a champion. Diesel tells Lawler that himself and Michaels were the greatest tag team to ever step foot in a WWF ring, but every great team slips up and that’s what happened at SummerSlam against the Smoking Gunns. Diesel agrees with Michaels that they are still friends and everything is cool, but they both have their eyes on singles championships. Diesel isn’t going to be the bodyguard for Shawn while he wins championships. That time is over with. If he has to wrestle Michaels for gold sometime down the line, then that’s what he is going to have to do. Now, Diesel doesn't care if its the IC championship or the WWF World Championship… he will have gold around his waist sooner rather later and the champs need to be on the lookout for Big Daddy Cool. 4. The Quebecers defeated The Headshrinkers in 8:33 when Jacques pinned Fatu after the Tower of London. 5. Mr. Perfect defeated Steve Wright in 2:04 following the Perfect Plex. 6.

Doink is laughing and giggling as Ross asks Doink who the man is. Doink tells Ross that his man is an even eviler than him and he wants all the kids in the crowd to cry at night thinking of what he has done to their heroes. Doink introduces his friend as Hughie The Clown. Hughie chimes in briefly and says that when he sees people in pain, is the ultimate satisfaction. When he sees kids screaming it gives him more incentive to issue out more and more punishment. Doink says that they are the clowns the WWF should be afraid of. 10. Ludvig Borga defeated The Kamikaze Kid in 3:09 following a shoulder breaker. 11. Crush Interview: Todd Pettengill interviewed Crush regarding his recent feud with John Bradshaw. Crush is sick of the feud already and tells Todd that he wants Bradshaw this Sunday at In Your House to shut the Texan up and show the world that he is the toughest wrestler in the WWF and not John Bradshaw. 12. In Your House Hype: A video promoting the Undertaker/King Yokozuna main event, Savage/Anderson and Steiner/Bigelow matches is aired. 13. The British Bulldog defeated IRS in 6:00 following a running power slam. 14.

Awesome! I love Doink's new running buddy. Either I guessed correctly, or my last post influenced you. Either way, I can't wait to have Hughie run roughshod over the roster.
In Your House should be awesome. I can't wait to find out who Benoit's eventual opponent will be. Hopefully, this is his time to shine.
Simmons, Rick Steiner, Undertaker, Ramon, Savage-Arn... Lots to look forward to in the next post. Thank you very much.

Taker pulls Yoko up by the hair and Yoko nails Taker in the face with the salt bucket. Yoko clubs Taker over the head with the bucket a second time. Paul Bearer is freaking out on the floor as Yoko drags Taker to the corner and hits the Bonzai Drop! Yoko remains on top of Taker and wins the match and title! (King Yokozuna over The Undertaker, 10:53, **1/2) After the match, King Yokozuna puts his robe on and holds the WWF World Championship while Paul Bearer is weeping on the floor to end the show.

Loved the In Your House show. You booked it real well. The only thing I'd have done different is have Bigelow win the IC title. Though, I understand you may need it as a leverage chip in a Steiner vs. Steiner feud.
Interesting pair-up with Ron Simmons & Tatanka, I hope it leads to bigger things for Mr. Simmons.
Double A over Savage was a brilliant move. I think the two could have a couple more bouts together.
Yokozuna is King and WWF champ. As it definitely should be.
Brilliant! Can't wait for more. Thank you.
