WWF In Your House: Sunday 25th September 1994…I got a little behind on this, admittedly. Fine choice for an opening contest, and Razor Ramon being victorious over Carlos Vega in the Caribbean Strap match was expected – although I feel like Ramon’s won every time these two have squared off. I wonder if this is the climax of this feud? John Bradshaw with a victory against Crush…this wouldn’t have been a pretty match. Just here to illustrate Bradshaw’s character on a pay-per-view platform, I suppose. John Bradshaw is awkward as a face character, though. I like the twist in Ron Simmons’ heel turn primarily because of the ‘African American’ factor. It could be the preliminary reason for the Nation of Domination, if you ever go with that. I kind of doubt it, though – Simmons can work nicely on his own. The Smoking Gunns defeating the Quebecers was fine to retain the WWF Tag Team Championships. I can see Billy and Bart becoming the face of the division at this point. Next, a basic win for Ron Simmons against Marty Jannetty as expected to get this character across. Scott Steiner victorious against Bam Bam Bigelow made for a solid match, as Steiner continues to look good as WWF Intercontinental Champion, retaining the title here. I’d like to see Scotty pushed as a big fighting champion – I’m just curious to see where Scott’s character goes when his brother Rick Steiner returns from injury. Arn Anderson with a win against Randy Savage? Bizarre. He did need the big win though, he’s the least over the four men involved in this rivalry between the Mega-Powers and Four Horsemen. This angle still reads “WCW 1994” to me, though. A strange juxtaposition between New Generation and WCW 1994 thrown together. It’s fine though, because without Hogan, WCW is dwelling. Jeff Jarrett’s interference was noteworthy, I suppose because I guess this will be Savage’s side-feud…unless you have a big Survivor Series match planned regarding Savage, Jarrett, Anderson, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan? Puzzling. Lastly, I was very surprised to see you give away a title change as big as King Yokozuna winning the WWF Championship away on a B-pay-per-view such as In Your House. Plus, it was a clean win from what I saw (it was No-Disqualification anyway). I suppose this could be the Undertaker’s write-off for the time being? I’m just very surprised with this, but can’t see Yokozuna entering WrestleMania XI as WWF Champion still, honestly. Overall, a decent show that was probably weakened by the two filler matches: never really works out on a two-hour supercard show. Interested in where you go moving forward, with more hype on RAW for the next In Your House event. Expecting to see some Survivor Series progression too. Not bad given the limitations of this In Your House card.

World Wrestling Federation Press Release WWF President released a statement announcing officially that the next In Your House pay per view to take place live on pay per view on October 30th will be themed as being a “trick or treat event for our WWF champions.” Tunney announced that the WWF fans will be given the chance to vote for the opponents to challenge for the WWF World, Intercontinental and Tag Team Championships along with a match stipulation for the show. Tunney said that “this is an attempt to give the WWF fans to have their voices heard and see perhaps men get an opportunity live on pay per view to become a recognized champion in this sport.” Mr. Tunney revealed the options for the show to be voted upon by the fans when they call the 1-800 number. WWF World Champion King Yokozuna will have the following three men to worry about as former champion The Undertaker, Bret Hart and The British Bulldog are the voting options. WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner has the following challengers for his championship as being Jeff Jarrett, Bam-Bam Bigelow and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Lastly, the WWF World Tag Team Champions the Smoking Gunns will have to have a game plan for either the Quebecers, The Headshrinkers or the new team of Doink the Clown & Hughie The Clown. Tunney finished the press release thanking the WWF fans and looks forward to seeing what occurs on October 30th as the event is in the hands of the fans. Note From Bob: If you're reading his please take the few seconds to send your picks to be competing for the championships. I'll leave the voting open until the last week of TV to be written. The card will not be finalized until the show is written. Send them through PM, please! Thanks!

Utilising the hotline and using "social media" is pretty cool for 1994. The three options are pretty interesting - Surpisingly I think Yoko could have a decent match with any of the three, but I don't see him dropping the belt. Steiner I also see keeping the belt in a rematch with Bam Bam. I guess the Tag Titles can hot-shot from one team to the next, and the Gunns were never convincing in my eyes.
You're going strong but I don't think you've progressed as far as you could have done. This is the "new generation" but there is an over reliance on the likes of Hogan, Savage, Flair, Anderson, etc. to draw. There is also a heap of imported stars from various eras - Benoit, Anderson, Hunter, Bradshaw - that don't really "fit" here in 1994.. And as a result the development for stars such as Owen, Kid, IRS, even Shawn and Diesel, has stalled majorly. I think this is your biggest flaw. The roster is all over the place and you've lost your core group of talent. 1994 was Bret, Yoko, Luger, Taker, Bam Bam, Doink, Owen, Kid, Bulldog, Diesel, Shawn, Razor, Crush... the WWF spent the best part of two years building around these guys and so they should be the guys you build around, with the occasional Scott Steiner title run or Carlos Vega character-spin to add vibrance to your booking.

It's been a while since I've read this since I fell away from the board for a bit but I'll try and read and reply more regularly. I love the use of the 1-800 number, it's unique and is certainly unheard of for a diary based in the early/mid 90's. Reading the most recent week of shows and IYH, I like the inclusion of guys like Ron Simmons, Benoit and Bradshaw on top of Yokozuna being King Yokozuna. I'm presuming he won the King of the Ring tournament. Love that Scott Steiner is getting a singles push as the Intercontinental Champion and Steiner/Benoit should be decent on RAW. I was surprised to see Savage lose to Anderson at IYH but the post-match stuff done its job in setting up a potential tag match down the line.
It's hard to leave a constructive reply given that, like I said, I haven't been keeping up with this for awhile. But I'm going to try and make an effort to more frequently check this out and familiarise myself with what's been going on.

Bob if it wasn't for Jord you would have been getting my vote this month. I've been a fan of this since starting on the board, think I've dropped one or two replies previously. Had a bit of manic year so far so may not be 100% up to date.
I feel not many build up a Big show a Pay Per View or an In Your House better than you Bob, also feel you do a great job of getting your point over in alot less words than most others.
I actually disagree with Chaz, I think you've got a strong roster with the Hogan's/Flair etc doing their thing away from the World title picture. You can tell you are also a fan of early 90's WCW.
Look forward to the trick or treat PPV hopefully you'll get a decent amount of votes. The person I picked for the World title match I don't necessarily see winning the title here but it may kick off a longer rivalry.

Week 39: September 26th - October 2nd WWF RAW 9/26/1994 1. The British Bulldog defeated Tom Stevens in 2:09 following a running power slam. During the match, pre-tape comments from Bulldog were aired with Bulldog declaring to be ready for the opportunity to get in the ring with the WWF World Champion on October 30th and win the WWF World Championship from King Yokozuna. 2. The Heavenly Bodies defeated Men on a Mission in 8:15 when Del Ray pinned Mabel following a moonsault. After the match, the Bodies vented about not being part of the options to challenge the Smoking Gunns for the titles on October 30th and how they are going to make sure the WWF officials will regret that. 3. Kings Court w/ King Yokozuna, Jim Cornette & Mr. Fuji: Jerry Lawler is back with the Kings Court and sang the praises of the new WWF World Champion and the king of the WWF, King Yokozuna. That brings out the champion and his managers for an interview. Jim Cornette starts off reminding us that at one point, Johnny Polo had tried to steal his clients and Cornette was out of the WWF. However, once Polo realized he was in over his head and bailed on the WWF, King Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji begged him to return and he did that for a hefty price and that paid off by leading Yokozuna to the WWF World Championship over the seemingly unbeatable Undertaker. Cornette has created his own monster of royalty and he will be the WWF World Champion for as long as he wants to be. Lawler brings up the three challengers that the WWF fans will be able to vote on which includes the Undertaker, the British Bulldog and Bret Hart. Cornette laughs at the options as Yokozuna just squashed Undertaker like a bug last night, the British Bulldog doesn’t have a strong enough bite to effect Yokozuna and Bret Hart is a shell of himself since he lost the WWF World Championship last year. Cornette tells Lawler that there isn't anyone in the WWF or anywhere for that matter that can dethrone King Yokozuna and that’s a fact! 4. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Chris Storm in 2:13 following a diving head butt. 5. Duke Droese Vignette: Duke Droese is on the streets throwing trash into a garbage truck when he sees the camera and tells the WWF fans that he is heading to the WWF to toss the likes of King Yokozuna, Bam-Bam Bigelow, Crush and any other piece of garbage into the Trash Compactor. “Duke Droese… Coming Soon” ends the segment. 6. Lex Luger/Diesel Confrontation: Jim Ross brings out Lex Luger for an interview. Ross asks Luger what is on his mind and Lex makes it crystal clear that he is furious that he was not part of the list of challengers for the WWF World Championship. Sure, he may have lost to the Undertaker at WrestleMania and King of the Ring, but he crushed Bret Hart’s dreams at SummerSlam last year and his loss at SummerSlam this year was a miscarriage of justice. He doesn't even want to talk about the British Bulldog and how he isn’t a worthy challenger for any championship since he can’t even keep his wife around, he certainly wouldn't be able to hold a championship long, either. Luger puts himself over as a specimen like no other and claims to have 3% body fat and could defeat any bum in the World Wrestling Federation. At that moment, former WWF World Tag Team Champion Diesel strolls down to the ring and enters to confront Luger. Diesel tells Luger that he has respect for him but hearing him complain is making him sick to his stomach. Diesel puts over his height and notes that he would be able to press slam Luger back down to reality that Luger is no longer the best in the WWF. Lex cuts Diesel off and says that Diesel hasn’t done anything in the WWF on his own and is just a tag team wrestler. “You’re nothing but a background player for Shawn Michaels and everyone knows it.” Diesel responds by saying maybe he should breakout of the background then. At that moment, Diesel strikes Luger with a forearm shot and sends Luger to the floor following a big boot. Luger runs up the aisle way holding his mouth as Diesel plays to the crowd and wants Lex to return to the ring to end the segment. 7. WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner defeated Chris Benoit in 10:38 following a Frankensteiner. After the match, Benoit attacked Steiner and sent him shoulder first into the ring steps. Benoit got on the microphone and taunted Steiner saying that he was lucky he wasn’t an option for In Your House because he is the man who would beat Steiner for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. 8. Owen Hart defeated AJ Fatal in 2:04 following a missile dropkick. 9. Razor Ramon Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Razor Ramon regarding his recent feud with Carlos Vega. Ramon tells Ross that sometimes your past comes back into your life and you have to fight that past. That’s what he did with Carlos Vega and he was able prevent his past from affecting his future here in the World Wrestling Federation. Ramon reminds Ross that he is a former WWF Intercontinental Champion and although he wasn’t selected as a challenger for either singles championship at In Your House, he is confident that he will get another shot to hold gold in the WWF. Ramon finishes off saying that he finished off Carlos Vega and now he is in his past. Now, it’s about the future and being a future champion again in the WWF. 10. Ludvig Borga defeated Damien Wolf in 2:45 following a shoulder breaker. 11. Ron Simmons & Tatanka Interview: Vince McMahon brings out the new team of Ron Simmons and Tatanka for an interview. McMahon asks Simmons and Tatanka what their problem is. Simmons seems to be annoyed by that comment and tells McMahon that HE is their problem. Simmons recalls again for us how he came to the WWF and slammed King Yokozuna. Simmons was waving the American flag and being everything that the fans wanted, but he wasn’t what he wanted to be. What he wanted to be was a champion. He was too concerned about making the fans happy that he was losing matches to a model of all people. Simmons was never given a chance to go after the WWF World Championship because McMahon knows he would have won the championship. “You never brought people like us, Vince. You promote the Bret Harts, the Hulk Hogan’s… but not Ron Simmons or my brother Tatanka.” Tatanka chimes in and reminds Vince that won the WWF Intercontinental Championship and never got a rematch when he was screwed of it. When he won the title the fans turned their back on him and didn’t care about him. Tatanka says that Simmons talked to him one night and he realized he speaks the truth. They aren’t going to wait around and get respect… they are going to beat that respect out anyone that tries to hold them down. Tatanka asks what did McMahon do when Doink disrespected his headdress awhile ago? “That’s right, you did nothing and that always bothered me. I don’t have your respect and now everyone is going to have to deal with our anger.” Simmons chimes back in and says that they are leading a movement. You can call them The Movement and suggests that he will get others to join their mission to fight for respect and opportunities in the World Wrestling Federation. 12. Doink the Clown & Hughie The Clown/Smoking Gunns Backstage Brawl: Backstage, Todd Pettengill is about to interview the WWF World Tag Team Champions the Smoking Gunns until Doink and Hughie the Clown come out from nowhere and dump buckets of water over the champions leading to a beat down of the champs. Doink and Hughie toss Billy and Bart into the walls and into a catering table. They scare off Todd before being escorted out of the area by officials as they both laugh hysterically. 13. Crush defeated Bob Holly in 4:59 with the Kona Vice. 14. The Undertaker defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification in 6:14 when Scott Norton interfered and attacked The Undertaker with a steel chair and hitting a shoulder breaker. WWF Superstars 10/1/19941. The Headshrinkers defeated Steve Combs & Joe Cage in 2:43 when Fatu pinned Cage following a top rope splash. 2. Hunter Hearst Helmsley Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Hunter Hearst Helmsley who appeared to be annoyed. Helmsley tells Ross that he is annoyed with a WWF superstar who is promoting themselves as being something that they are not. Ross inquires who that person is. Hunter says that the person he is talking about claims to be the perfect wrestler, but he doesn’t recall a match that the superstar won of significance. Ross asks if he is talking about Mr. Perfect, which Hunter confirms. Hunter says that he has an undefeated record in the WWF and if anyone were to call themselves Mr. Perfect, it should be him. Helmsley believes that Perfect is far past his time and should retire so that fans can remember him in a somewhat positive manner. Hunter tells Ross that he is the man fans should idolize and wish to grow up to be… not someone like Mr. Perfect. If anything, Mr. Perfect should be known as Mr. Imperfection, which he will be if they square off and fans will realize just how superior he is. 3. Carlos Vega defeated Jeremy Sydal in 1:18 following a spinning heel kick. 4. Arn Anderson defeated Barry Horowitz in 2:26 following a spine buster. 5. Bret Hart Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bret Hart regarding a possible match with King Yokozuna to possibly regain the WWF World Championship. Hart talks about his life being turn upside down when lost the belt back at SummerSlam last year but after a few months of torture, he was able to overcome the odds and got his momentum back. He got a measure of revenge over Lex Luger at this years SummerSlam and his path of redemption continues until he regains the WWF World Championship. He has all the confidence that he can beat King Yokozuna because he has more ability and more heart than the WWF World Champion. Bret asks the fans to give him the opportunity to prove that by showing Yokozuna why he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be! 6. Mr. Perfect defeated Bill Wright in 2:13 following the Perfect Plex. After the match, Hunter Hearst Helmsley appeared on the aisle way mock clapping for Mr. Perfect acting rather unimpressed. 7. John Bradshaw defeated Jerry Lawler in 6:19 after a lariat. WWF Wrestling Challenge 10/2/19941. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Chris Kanyon in 3:22 following the Pedigree 2. Marty Jannetty & The Kamikaze Kid defeated Paul Williams & Mike Peterson in 3:06 when Jannetty pinned Williams after the Rocker Dropper. 3. Lex Luger defeated Mark Starr in 2:54 with the Torture Rack. 4. Razor Ramon defeated IRS in 7:21 following a Razors Edge.

The Movement sounds like a neat little stable, like you put a twist on the NOD concept. I can't wait to see more of them, and who joins.
I'm already pumped for the next IYH. Thank you for the continued great job on this diary. It's a real joy to read.

Week #40: October 3rd - October 9th WWF RAW 10/3/1994 1. Tom Pritchard defeated Mo in 4:59 following a top rope knee drop. After the match, Tom tied Mo to the ropes and continued to beat on him until Mabel ran down and cleared the Heavenly Bodies from the ring. As the Heavenly Bodies walked backstage they were yelling about not being in the tag title poll. 2. John Bradshaw defeated IRS in 6:10 following a lariat. During the match, Jerry Lawler cut a pre-tape promo saying his loss on Superstars was a fluke and that the “dumb Texas” John Bradshaw isn't on the same level as royalty like himself. 3. Bret Hart Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Bret Hart regarding his desire to be the WWF World Champion once again. Hart knows that King Yokozuna is a great wrestler with Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji by his side. Hart hasn't been the champion since the summer of 1993 and has been thinking of the championship for the longest time now. Bret asks the fans to give him a chance to get in the squared circle with King Yokozuna so that the fans can have a champion they are proud of. Bret finishes off saying he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there eve will be. 4. Duke Droese Vignette: Another vignette promoting Duke Droese debut is aired.

Flair puts over Norton as the strongest athlete in the business today and doesn't believe the Undertaker will want a piece of Norton again. Jim Ross, who was conducting the interview, tell us that if the Undertaker doesn’t win the poll for the WWF World Championship, he is scheduled to wrestle Scott Norton on October 30th. Flair tells Ross that Taker better hope he wins because Taker might actually be able to survive his rematch with Yokozuna while Scott Norton is set on making an impact and his impact would be taking out the Deadman once and for all. Flair finishes off the segment by officially issuing a challenge for Survivor Series for a five on five elimination match with Hogan and Savage needing to find three more partners while Flair is confident they will find the last one for their team. 7. Mr. Perfect defeated Mark Starr in 3:04 following the Perfect Plex. After the match, Hunter Hearst Helmsley ran into the ring and attacked Perfect hitting the Pedigree. Hunter got into Perfect’s face on the canvas and said “Your time is over with, Perfect.” 8. Marty Jannetty Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Marty Jannetty about the new group of Ron Simmons and Tatanka going by the name The Movement. Jannetty doesn't understand the feelings those two men have as the guys in the back always supported them and he heard the fans cheer loudly for both men. Marty has been turned on before and isn't going to let Simmons get away with his actions. Jannetty tells Simmons that when they meet in the ring, he will use the fans support to overcome Ron’s power advantage. 9. Crush defeated Paul Jones in 3:13 with the Kona Vice. 10. Shawn Michaels Interview: Jim Ross interviewed Shawn Michaels about last week and the confrontation Diesel and with Luger.

Luger tells McMahon that Diesel isn't anything compared to him and last week Diesel took of advantage of a time when Lex wasn’t anticipating a cheap shot. Luger puts himself over as a former WWF World Champion and asks what Diesel has done without his boy toy by his side? The answer to that is nothing. Lex says that if Diesel wants him then he will have a match with him at In Your House. Luger isn't afraid of Diesel as Luger says he will out wrestle and make Diesel run out of gas before pinning Diesel right in the middle of the ring. Lex poses to end the segment. 3.

Thank you so much for keeping this up and running. I can't wait to eventually read the next IYH, and find out who wins the polls.
I wonder who The Dynasty will get for their fifth man? Someone making a debut perhaps?
I like what you did with the jobber and the replica title. It'd be interesting to see that go somewhere.
You keep me interested with a fun read and I thank you for that. I look forward to more!

Savage chimes in and says that the Mega Powers have a lot to give to the wrestling world and after they take care of the Dynasty and find three more partners, they are done with them and like Hogan said moving onward.

I'm very happy to see this diary continuing. Great week. I could definitely picture that attack by Mr. Perfect actually happening on TV. Great job. Sounds like you've got two months of booking planned out with In Your House and Survivor Series. Love your feuds, love the 90s-old-school feel. Please keep it up.

Kings Court w/mini John Bradshaw: Jerry Lawler returned with his talk segment saying that his guest tonight is someone he despises but will put aside his hatred to conduct a professional interview. Lawler brings out John Bradshaw, but instead of the actual Bradshaw we are greeted with the dwarf version of the Texan. A dwarf comes down to the ring with a bull rope and a hat that is too big for his head. Lawler knew Bradshaw was a small man on the inside, but he wasn't expecting this. Lawler tells Bradshaw that he is shameful to be in the WWF and isn't near his level of royalty and asks the dwarf if he agrees. The dwarf asks how can he change his ways for Lawler to respect him. Lawler suggests he shine his boots up and the dwarf gets down on his knees to accommodate royalty. Lawler says he is sicken by the coward dwarf and kicks him to the floor with his newly shined boots.

Steiner has heard Bigelow talking smack about winning the title and admits it would be a tough match, but the only fire Bigelow has is on his head and not in his heart to win the title. Steiner thinks Jarrett is the weak link of the Dynasty and Helmsley has more things to worry about in Mr. Perfect then try and steal the championship away from him.

I absolutely loved the King's Court segment on Raw. Exactly what Lawler would've done if he feuded with Bradshaw around that time.
The next In Your House should be excellent. Keep up the great work, man.

I'm a little surprised that no titles changed hands. I thought for sure Doink & Hughie would cheat to steal away the tag titles. I like that the whole Mega-Powers-Dynasty feud didn't have a match though. Would've overloaded a full card. Can't wait for Survivor Series. Thank you very much for keeping up this diary. It continues to be a small joy in life for me.

Michaels says he is the most gifted athlete the WWF has to offer and it is time he make his intentions known that the WWF World Championship is his ultimate goal. Michaels has held the Intercontinental Championship and World Tag Team Championships but once to hold the trifecta. As Michaels continues to speak, Tatanka from the Movement comes to the ring to breakup the interview. Tatanka reminds Michaels that he beat him for the WWF Intercontinental Championship and he can beat him again. He is sick and tired of hearing guys like Shawn Michaels come out and declare they are the best while himself and Ron Simmons are regulated to sitting in the backstage area supposed to allow that to happen. Tatanka says that the Movement is to take claim to their spot in the main event picture and he knows he can beat Shawn Michaels to get that spot. Michaels tells Tatanka that if he feels that way, well, they can settle it in the ring right now. Tatanka disagrees and says he wants to beat Michaels on pay per view, like he has done before, and he wants the fans to have to pay and watch him beat Shawn Michaels in the middle of the ring.

A little confusing this week. In the Tatanka-HBK interview, you seem to indicate that Survivor Series will be on Nov. 23rd. Then later, you say that Rick Steiner returns on November 28th - the night after Survivor Series. Which date is correct, 23rd or 27th?
You kinda buried the #1 contender's battle royal on Superstars. I might have put it as the Raw main event. Anyway, I hope the Bulldog can win the gold.
Is there a Triple H-Hogan feud brewing? I like it. Will Hunter join The Dynasty?
I wonder with whom Tamara may end up with next?
Everything is very interesting, and I can't wait for more.

I meant it will take place on the first RAW after the pay per view since it is midweek.
