My predictions for the major matches (Bret-Shawn, WWF title, and Rumble) were way off, but the show as a whole was awesome. Well worth the wait. I can't wait for Hogan-Flair. Hopefully, it'll be everything I wanted to see, back in the 'real' early 90s. I can't wait to see how the new feuds progress from here. I was glad to see Simmons get the win. I just hope this is the beginning of bigger things for him. Great job. Thanks for another awesome write-up.

Can't believe I was the only one to reply to the Rumble. I hope you keep this up, Bob... I really do.

Here we go. The 1994 Royal Rumble is on!
I'm loving Rick Martel's run as the WWF Intercontinental Champion, I do see Razor Ramon coming back for the strap in the near future, perhaps Wrestlemania. I loved the finish, I really do. It fits Martel to a tee.
I wouldn't want to touch that $5,000 in HBK's tights… Yikes. I love DiBiase in this role.
I expected Bret Hart to win against the Heartbreak Kid. I wonder what will DiBiase do to HBK/Diesel.
Steiners vs Bodies seems a okay match. Figured Steiners to win.
Wow, I'm surprised that Crush didn't pull out the victory here. I'm liking what you're doing with Simmons in this era, building him up instead of being some…Faarooq dude.
Back to Madison Square Garden for Wrestlemania, that will be a good event.
The Hulkster is baaaack, and I love Flair's "Ohhhh boy. It's the almighty Hulkster" line, lol. Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair @ Wrestlemania X? Perfect.
The way you got Lex Luger in this dynasty, is great. Luger shoulda won the WWF Championship in real life at Summerslam. I'm loving your version of Lex Luger, the dominating WWF Champ.
And THE RUMBLE!! DiBiase again with more money! Wow! Yoko eliminates Bret Hart, strong push for Yoko right there. I thought for sure that Yokozuna would win the Rumble right there. But The Undertaker vs Lex Luger should be a good showdown at 'Mania X.
Good Royal Rumble. Lookin' forward to Wrestlemania!

Week #4: January 24th - January 30th
WWF RAW 1/24/1993 (Bushkill, PA) 1. Chris Benoit defeated Carl Williams in 2:44 following a German suplex. During the match, Owen Hart shared some thoughts on Benoit saying that Benoit isn’t the best wrestler to come out of the Hart family dungeon. Owen believes he and Benoit will be able to work together on WWF Superstars this Saturday. 2. Kings Court w/ Jack Tunney: Jerry Lawler opened the segment noting how upset he was regarding what happened to him at the Royal Rumble. Lawler doesn’t understand who Roddy Piper thinks he is. He says that Piper is jealous of him because the Kings Court puts Piper’s Pit to shame! Lawler is convinced that Kings Court will go down in the record books as the best interview segment in the history of professional wrestling. Lawler introduces his guest Jack Tunney, who will reveal the winners of the Year End Awards. Tunney makes his way down to the ring and cuts right down to business. Tunney says there were seven categories for WWF fans to choose from and tonight the results will be announced. Tunney announces that Ron Simmons won the Best Debut Award. The Most Shocking Moment was won by Ted DiBiase, who purchased the Hart House. The Steiner Brothers won the Best Tag Team Award. WWF World Champion Lex Luger was voted as the most hated man in the WWF while his most recent and year-long rival Mr. Perfect won the Most Popular Wrestler Award. Tunney hypes up the last award, the Wrestler of the Year. Lawler cuts Tunney off saying that he knows he won the award in a landslide but Tunney brings him back to reality saying that he didn’t get any votes whatsoever. The man who won the WWF Wrestler of the Year Award is… Mr. Perfect! Tunney thanks everyone for voting before leaving while Lawler is left surprised that Mr. Perfect won the top award. 3. Shawn Michaels & Diesel defeated Glenn Ruth & Barry Hardy in 3:53 when Diesel pinned Ruth. During the bout, pre-tape comments from Michaels and Diesel were aired. Michaels said that it has always bothered him knowing he hasn’t won the WWF World Tag Team Championships. But, he puts all the blame for that on his previous slob of a partner Marty Jannetty. Michaels puts over Diesel as the perfect partner and says that if the Steiner’s have a set of manhood, they will accept a challenge for the titles! 4. Randy Savage defeated Brian West in 2:13 following a top rope elbow drop. 5. Royal Rumble Report: Todd Pettengill talks about what happened at the Royal Rumble last night. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel beat Razor Ramon, Bret Hart overcame Shawn Michaels, Ron Simmons finished off Crush, WWF World Tag Team Champion Steiner Brothers beat the Heavenly Bodies, and WWF World Champion Lex Luger retained the title over Mr. Perfect and the Undertaker won the Royal Rumble to meet Lex Luger at WrestleMania X.

Men On A Mission defeated Dale Wolfe & Duane Gill in 2:15 when Mabel pinned Gill after a big splash. 7. Bret Hart defeated Crush by disqualification in 8:26 when Yokozuna attacked Hart.

Next Week: The British Bulldog will be a guest on Kings Court. What is on his mind? Also, Also, Mr. Perfect will be in action against Fatu.
WWF Superstars 1/29/1994 1. WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel defeated Virgil in 4:55 with the Boston Crab. 2. Razor Ramon/Bam-Bam Bigelow Confrontation: Mean Gene introduces Bam-Bam Bigelow for an interview. Gene talks about losing to the Undertaker at the MSG house show and then losing the Royal Rumble match last Sunday. Bigelow takes exception to Gene’s statements and tells Gene that he is still the toughest, baddest man in the WWF. Bigelow believes he is the only man to dominate the Undertaker the way he did in 1993 and no one will take that away from him. Bigelow continues by saying that he has been hearing a lot of talk of Razor Ramon being the toughest man in the World Wrestling Federation and it makes him sick. Bigelow mocks Ramon’s greasy hair and gold chains saying that Ramon is a fraud. This brings out Razor Ramon. Bigelow insults Ramon for losing to a model at the Royal Rumble. Ramon simply tells Bigelow that if he has a problem with him they can settle it like men. Bigelow appears to back off from Ramon but when Ramon turns around Bigelow shoves him off the podium and begins to attack Ramon putting the boots to him. Bigelow is stopped by several officials but is heard saying that he is the man to be feared in the WWF, not Razor Ramon. 3. Scott Norton defeated Scott Taylor in 1:45 following a military press slam. 4. Ted DiBiase Interview: Vince McMahon introduces Ted DiBiase for an interview. McMahon hypes up DiBiase competing against Bret Hart at WrestleMania X, but also notes that the British Bulldog is back in the WWF. McMahon asks if DiBiase is worried about Bulldog coming after him for making Diana his servant. DiBiase laughs off the question saying that he isn’t afraid, because he always has a plan. DiBiase says that at WrestleMania he will crush the hopes and dreams of Bret Hart once and for all! 5. The Smoking Gunns defeated Joe Stevenson & Bill Butler in 3:11 when Billy pinned Stevenson. 6. The Undertaker Interview: Vince McMahon introduces the 1994 Royal Rumble winner the Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Bearer says that the Undertaker has been waiting for this opportunity for years and now he has a chance to reclaim the top prize in the WWF. Bearer knows that WWF World Champion Lex Luger has been a dominating champion but everyone’s time runs out. The Undertaker chimes in saying that Luger’s time will end at WrestleMania X because he will Rest In Peace. 7. The Quebecers defeated Chris Benoit & Owen Hart in 10:21 when Pierre pinned Owen following a senton splash. Late in the match, Owen accidentally dropkicked Benoit off the apron after Jacques broke free from Benoit. Benoit ended up crotching his own partner on the top rope on an attempted missile dropkick and left the ring leading to the finish.
Next Week: The Undertaker will be in action against Scott Norton!
WWF Wrestling Challenge 1/30/1994 1. Ron Simmons defeated Mike Sharpe in 2:07 following a spine buster. During the bout, Simmons shared pre-tape comments saying that he is ready to chase after some WWF gold. He says that there is an arrogant model that needs to get a lesson in respect. 2. Ludvig Borga defeated Dan Dalton in 2:12 following a shoulder breaker. 3. Steiner Brothers Interview: Vince McMahon interviewed the WWF World Tag Team Champions the Steiner Brothers. McMahon mentions the challenge issued by Shawn Michaels and Diesel on RAW. Scott says that he and his brother have been the champions since June and that they worked through every tag team in the WWF to win the titles they worked so hard to earn. So, while they are fighting champions he isn’t convinced that Michaels and Diesel have earned a shot to come after their belts. Rick Steiner says that once they beat some teams as a tag team, they will be more than happy to knock their teeth down their throats because they will fight their hearts out to keep the WWF World Tag Team Championships! 4. Tatanka defeated Greg Rice in 2:56 following a Samoan Drop. 5. Jim Cornette Interview: Mean Gene interviews Jim Cornette who says that he is annoyed with Randy Savage and Tatanka. The past few weeks they have been getting in Camp Cornette’s business and messing up their plans. Cornette says that on RAW they could have ended Bret Hart’s career but Savage and Tatanka had to come out and save the day. Thus, Savage and Tatanka are now on his hit list. “McMahon, I guarantee you that Randy Savage and Tatanka will regret the day they screwed with our plans. Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga and Crush will not rest until they are satisfied and they are not easily satisfied.†6. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated George South in 1:24 following a diving head butt. 7. Doink the Clown defeated the Kamikaze Kid in 6:45 following the Whoopee Cushion. After the match, Doink got down on all fours and simply laughed in Kid’s face. During the bout, the Nasty Boys came down to ringside yelling at the announcers for not getting the air time they were given. To show their frustration they attacked the Kamikaze Kid while Doink distracted the referee. Knobbs was heard saying "Since you don't care about us, we don't care about anyone."
Next week: Tatanka will team with the WWF World Tag Team Champions Steiner Brothers to take on Yokozuna and the Heavenly Bodies in a six man tag match!

Glad to see you back, Bob, and I'm looking forward to everything up to and including WrestleMania X.
I wasn't sure how you'd handle the year-end awards, but having Tunney on the King's Court was perfect. Speaking of Perfect, nice to see some of my own choices won.
Looking forward to the new feuds...Bigelow-Ramon, and especially Martel-Simmons. Glad to see Ron chasing after IC gold. Interesting to see where the Nasty Boys angle is going.
Great work as always, and I'm very much looking forward to more. Thanks man!

Week #5: January 31st - February 6th
WWF RAW 1/31/1994 (Bushkill, PA) 1. Jeff Jarrett defeated Mark Kyle in 3:24 following a jumping DDT. During the bout, pre-tape comments by Jarrett were aired. Jarrett targeted Mr. Perfect and insulted him saying that Perfect continued to get high profile title matches despite constantly losing to Luger, while Jarrett was stuck in the middle in the pack. Jarrett finished off his promo by saying that he realizes that in order to get recognized he is going to have to make himself a star because the WWF officials will not. 2. Kings Court w/British Bulldog: Jerry Lawler introduces his guest this week as the returning British Bulldog. The topic of conversation quickly turns to the developments regarding Ted DiBiase and the Hart Family. DiBiase is using Bulldog’s wife as his personal maid while Bret’s mother and father are his servants as well. Bulldog tells Lawler that this has been a rough way to start the year, but he is grateful to be back in the WWF. He also says that on March 20th Bret Hart will get his own revenge. However, Bulldog makes it clear that DiBiase isn’t out of the woods after that. “DiBiase, don’t think that after WrestleMania you are free of the Hart Family. You have used and abused my loving wife. I will not sit back and allow you to not be punished Bulldog style!” 3. Razor Ramon defeated Steve Reed in 2:57 following the Razors Edge. During the bout, Bam-Bam Bigelow shared some pre-tape comments saying he was pissed off that Ramon is claiming to be the baddest, toughest man in the World Wrestling Federation. Bigelow knows that honor belongs to him and he will show everyone that Ramon is just a fraud! 4. Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair Hype Video: A video promoting the highly anticipated match between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan is aired. “Two icons of wrestling square off in the most iconic arena in wrestling history.

Next Week on RAW: Crush will be in action against Marty Jannetty.
WWF Superstars 2/5/1994 1.Randy Savage defeated Tommy Angel in 2:08 following a top rope elbow drop. 2.Chris Benoit Interview: Jim Ross interviews Chris Benoit regarding the recent events involving Owen Hart. Benoit tells Ross that he is sick and tired of having to care for other people. Benoit says that he is the best wrestler to ever come out of the Dungeon and that includes Owen and Bret Hart. Ross suggests that Benoit should prove that instead of just saying it. “Listen Ross, I am not intimdated by anyone. If Owen Hart wants to challenge me, no one is stopping him. Owen, step up to the plate and try to make me tap.” 3.Ted DiBiase defeated Ray Hudson in 2:56 with the Million Dollar Dream. 4.The Smoking Gunns defeated Duane Gill & Mike Sharpe in 3:49 when Billy pinned Sharpe. 5.Ron Simmons Interview: Vince McMahon interviewed Ron Simmons. McMahon asked who Simmons was talking about the other week when he said he was seeking championship gold. Simmons gets right to the point saying that there has been an arrogant model who has had to rely on his girlfriend to get the job done because he isn’t man enough to do it himself. Simmons confirms it’s the WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel. Simmons mentions that he was able to win the war against Yokozuna and Crush and knows that he can take care of a model to win WWF championship gold. 6. Jerry Lawler defeated Barry Horowitz in 3:15 following a pile driver. 7. The Undertaker defeated Scott Norton in 5:03 by disqualification when Jeff Jarrett got involved.

Next Week on Superstars: Bret Hart will be in action against one-half of the disgruntled Nasty Boys, Jerry Saggs.
WWF Wrestling Challenge 2/6/1994 1. Doink the Clown defeated Brad Anderson in 2:33 following the Whoopee Cushion. 2. Shawn Michaels & Diesel Interview: Vince McMahon interviews Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Michaels doesn’t want to hear McMahon talk about the Royal Rumble where Bret Hart got the better of him. Michaels says that nine times out of ten he would bear Bret Hart and that Hart simply got his one fluke win against him. McMahon asks Michaels what he plans on doing now. Michaels gets a smile on his face and puts his arm on Diesel’s shoulder. “Vince, myself and Big Daddy Cool have been chatting lately and we have come to the conclusion that we are the most dominate tag team in the WWF. Now, we are going to put are skills together and prove to ourselves and all the fans of the WWF that we are the best wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation. So, we are issuing a challenge to the WWF World Tag Team Champion Steiner Brothers.” Vince McMahon hypes up the possible match to close the segment. 3.Marty Jannetty & The Kamikaze Kid defeated Joey Stallings & Austin Steele in 4:03 when Jannetty pinned Steele. 4. IRS defeated Corey Student in 2:23 following a leaping clothesline. 5. Mr. Perfect Interview: Jim Ross interviews Mr. Perfect regarding the statements made by Jeff Jarrett on RAW six days ago. Perfect chuckles saying that Jarrett lives in a fantasy world where he believes that he is a country music star. He lives in a fantasy world if he actually thinks that he is anywhere near the caliber that Mr. Perfect is in. Perfect says that if Jarrett wants his chance at stardom to come at his expense, then Jarrett is in for a big disappointment because Mr. Perfect still has plenty left in the tank to hold his own against the young up and comers in the WWF. Perfect finishes off saying that Jarrett just needs to name the time and place and Perfect will end his dreams of being a star in the WWF. 6. WWF World Tag Team Champions Steiner Brothers & Tatanka defeated The Heavenly Bodies & Yokozuna in 12:06 when Scott pinned Del Ray following a Frankensteiner.
Next Week on Wrestling Challenge: Tom Pritchard tries his luck against Ron Simmons.

Great to see this back, Bob, I've really missed it. I hadn't read it over in a while, and was afraid I would forget the storylines. That wasn't a problem, fortunately.
The WrestleMania X card looks great thus far, and if storylines are any indication, we'll perhaps see Shawn/Diesel vs. Stiners and Simmons vs. Martel. I'm glad you have returned to this, and I look forward to reading more.

WWF Royal Rumble: Sunday 23rd January 1994...Good decision to open the show with the WWE Intercontinental Championship match; quite a hot opening contest. Rick Martel retaining was the best decision, I like the role of Tamara, she's like the new Miss Elizabeth of the WWF. Innovative decision having a valet in the WWF at this point too. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart going on second was weird to see; I wish it hadn't gone on second, in fact I wish this match position was switched with the WWF Tag Team Championships; it makes this match look sort of like a filler in this position (I've always felt that way about the second match on a pay-per-view card, especially the Royal Rumble). Bret going over cleanly was the right decision, liked Ted Dibiase trashing Bret's locker room. The blowout to this rivalry at WrestleMania X should be solid. The Steiner Brothers seemed to put the Heavenly Bodies away quickly, considering they've been feuding back and forth for two months. Ron Simmons beating Crush...good call. I didn't really care a great deal for it though admittedly. Hoping you keep Simmons up the card, he definitely has the part. Nice heated showdown between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, I could see WrestleMania X being Flair's final appearance. Maybe Hogan's too, not entirely sure. You've built Hogan's return big though. Lex Luger beating Mr Perfect was the best decision really. I don't see Perfect as a credible WWF Champion, I'll be brutally honest. Disappointed at the length of this match; they've feuded for all of Autumn onwards, and to end it IN a No Holds Barred match in just ten minutes is a massive disappointment. However, I notice you're working with a rough time schedule, this pay-per-view's three hours in length, you had to make some sacrifices. Still disappointing though. Lastly, nice Royal Rumble match, liked that Yokozuna was the last man eliminated; The Undertaker winning this Rumble was actually a good time to do it. I actually wouldn't mind him taking the WWF Championship from Luger at WrestleMania either. Overall, very progressional pay-per-view for WrestleMania X in two months, entertaining read. Only downside is some of the time decisions (especially for the blowouts to feuds), but I know you were working with time schedules.

WWF RAW: Monday 24th January 1994...You're forgetting that you're into 1994, Bob. You listed the date as '1/24/1993'. Chris Benoit winning in the opening contest was a fair decision. Liked Owen Hart's comments and compliments towards Benoit. Interested in how their tag team match on WWF Superstars of Wrestling goes. I do expect tension. Jack Tunney on the King's Court was good to see, it was nice to see what went down in the Year End Awards for 1993. Jerry Lawler being irate was fun to see too, and liked his jab at Roddy Piper too. Shawn Michaels and Diesel with a win was fine. Interested in what goes next for Michaels and Diesel; a feud with the Steiner Brothers would elevate Scott and Rick's credibility a lot, if booked correctly. Randy Savage with a win kept him fresh. Men on a Mission too; I wonder what their direction is though. Bret Hart and Crush was a nice main event, liked Yokozuna attacking Bret, but I wonder why. I suppose because it's Crush's ally. But it'd be cool to see if Ted Dibiase paid Camp Cornette to take him out. Next week should be good; Mr Perfect against Fatu? When did Fatu turn heel? British Bulldog on King's Court should be spicy. Nothing special this week on RAW.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 29th January 1994...Rick Martel with a win in the opening contest gained his credibility as WWF Intercontinental Champion. Razor Ramon perhaps feuding with Bam Bam Bigelow? Could equal a nice series of matches. I wouldn't like to see it go into WrestleMania X though. Scott Norton's win was fine. Ted Dibiase's interview was great, interesting mention of British Bulldog returning. More torture for the Hart Family would be nice to see, just to stir the pot. The Smoking Gunn's win was fair. The Undertaker's interview perhaps lined up the rivalry with Lex Luger. Now that could be interesting for definite. The Quebecers winning against Chris Benoit and Owen Hart was great in an all-Canadian main event. Expected miscommunications between Benoit and Hart too. Overall a good show, better than RAW this week. The Undertaker and Scott Norton next week should be interesting, but I can guess 'Taker will win immediately.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 30th January 1994...Ron Simmons with a win was good, to regain some momentum under his waist. Simmons feuding with Rick Martel could be interesting, I don't see him taking the WWF Intercontinental Championship though. Ludvig Borga's win accomplished some momentum. The Steiner Brothers with air time is usually pretty good. Nice definition to lay it down with Shawn Michaels and Diesel, their next challengers to the WWF Tag Team Championships. Tatanka with a win is fine, I forgot what he was last doing though. Jim Cornette's interview was good, looking forward to see how Randy Savage and Tatanka are dealt with. Bam Bam Bigelow with a win was fine. And lastly, Doink the Clown beating the Kamikaze Kid was a decent main event I suppose. The Nasty Boys' appearance was weird. Liked them complaining due to lack of air time though, despite the fact they wouldn't use the term 'air time' on television. Maybe 'attention' is the better time. Overall, advanced a few things. Hot six man tag team match lined up for next week, especially big for Wrestling Challenge. A filler week of television pretty much. Not a lot happening, Superstars of Wrestling was the highlight show of the week.

Week #6: February 7th - February 13th
WWF RAW 2/7/1994 (Bushkill, PA) 1. Mr. Perfect defeated Mike Hopkins in 2:42 following the Perfect Plex. During the bout, Jeff Jarrett called in mocking Mr. Perfect by calling him Mr. Loser. Jarrett continues to say that he wants to wrestle Mr. Loser and catapult himself into the main event spot, where he belongs and send Mr. Loser to the unemployment line. 2. Kings Court w/ Jerry Lawler: Lawler welcomes everyone to the greatest talk show to ever exist in the WWF. He reveals that his guest this week is the most highly anticipated interview of all year. The crowd begins to chant for Hogan, but Lawler reveals the guest to be himself! Lawler brings up the Royal Rumble and how he was ambushed by Roddy Piper as he made his way to the ring. He believes that he should've been allowed to re-enter the Rumble due to the fact he wasn't ready. Lawler believes that Piper is jealous of how popular the Kings Court has become and has made Piper's Pit nothing but a distant memory in everyone's mind. “Let's face it, Piper is forgotten. I'm the new controversial man in the WWF. I have no fear of a man in a stupid skirt. So, I'm offering Piper to appear here on the Kings Court. I'm allowing him to keep his fame for fifteen more seconds.” Lawler hopes Piper comes on so he can show the fans that Piper is old news. 3. The Headshrinkers defeated Steve Armstrong & Bill Curry in 2:06 when Fatu pinned Curry after a top rope big splash 4. Tatanka defeated Jeff Lowe in 2:56 following a top rope overhand chop. 5. Lex Luger Video: The WWF World Champion is sitting in a limo as he talks about having to wrestle the Undertaker at WrestleMania X. He isn't afraid of the dark and he isn't afraid of death. The Undertaker may be a creature of the night, but Luger is a super human. He is perfectly put together and hasn't been beaten in singles action. He believes that the Undertaker should fear him and fear the fact that he will be embarrassed at the biggest stage in WWF history, WrestleMania X. 6. Chris Benoit defeated Carl Johnson in 2:23 following a German suplex. 7. Crush defeated Marty Jannetty in 8:14 with the Kona Vice. After the match, Jim Cornette hit Jannetty several times over the back with a tennis racket until Tatanka ran out to make the save to close the show.
Next week on RAW: Razor Ramon will be in action against Ludvig Borga. Also, the WWF World Tag Team Champions, Steiner Brothers will be in action.
WWF Superstars 2/12/1994 1. Owen Hart defeated Jason Silver in 3:04 following a missile dropkick. After the match, Jim Ross was set to interview Owen Hart but before anything could be said, Chris Benoit came out of nowhere and sent Hart shoulder first into the ring post. Benoit proceeded to put on the Crossface on the floor and wouldn't let go. Several officials came out to pull Benoit off while Hart was left holding his injured shoulder on the floor. 2. Bam-Bam Bigelow Interview: Vince McMahon interviewed Bam-Bam Bigelow this week. McMahon notes that Bigelow has an issue with fans and his peers giving Razor Ramon credit for being the toughest man in the WWF. Bigelow cuts Vince off saying that Vince himself is the primary culprit. Bigelow reminds us what he has done in the WWF. “I beat up the Undertaker so badly that he was gone for months. I didn't lose to some freakin' model, did I?” Bigelow mentions how he destroyed Ramon the other week when they had a confrontation and Ramon didn't stand a chance against him. He is sure that if they were to meet in the ring, he would snap Ramon in half like a toothpick! 3. Ludvig Borga defeated Glenn Ruth in 2:40 following a shoulder breaker. 4. Shawn Michaels & Diesel defeated Hank Handsome & Mark Marvelous in 2:59 when Diesel pinned Marvelous 5. Rick Martel Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with the WWF Intercontinental Champion, Rick Martel and his valet Tamara. Ross brings up Ron Simmons wanting to get a shot at the championship. Martel scoffs at the suggestion that Simmons is worthy at getting a championship match. Martel proceeds to call Simmons a dumb jock who took one too many shots to the head to think he is a champion worthy wrestler. Ross believes that Martel is afraid at the thought of facing a guy like Simmons. Tamara chimes in to assure Ross that Martel isn't. She does that by saying that next week, Martel will wrestle Simmons in a non-title match. Martel is rather surprised by that, but Tamara whispers something into his ear to give him some kind of assurance not worry about anything. Martel and Tamara taunt the fans before walking off the podium. 6. Randy Savage defeated Tyson Erickson in 2:23 following a top rope elbow drop. 7. Bret Hart defeated Jerry Saggs in 5:08 with the Sharpshooter. After the match, Hart is celebrating his victory until we hear Ted DiBiase yelling “Hitman! Hitman!” Hart turns around and looks at the big screen at the top of the aisle way to see DiBiase. DiBiase is at the Million Dollar Mansion, formerly known as the Hart House. DiBiase knows that they will be meeting at WrestleMania with the house on the line. But, that doesn't mean that he isn't still the owner of the house. He can do whatever he wishes with it until then. DiBiase walks over and we see a wrecking ball hanging next to the house. DiBiase says he isn't going to knock over the house until he beats Hart in the middle of the ring, but he will give him just a taste at what he will do. The wrecking ball proceeds to crash through the side of the house. DiBiase bursts out laughing while Helen Hart and Stu Hart are seen crushed and Bret is seen fuming in the ring to end the show.
Next Week on Superstars: WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel will compete against Ron Simmons in a non-title match. Can Simmons beat the champ to earn a future title shot? We shall see, next week!
WWF Wrestling Challenge 2/13/1994 1. Jeff Jarrett defeated John Stevenson in 2:15 following a jumping DDT. During the match, Mr. Perfect called in to tell the announcers and fans that he wants to shut Jarrett up and prove that even though he hasn't been able to win the WWF World Championship, it doesn't mean he is a washed up loser like Jarrett has been claiming he is. 2. Jim Cornette Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Jim Cornette who had Crush, Ludvig Borga and Yokozuna by his side. Cornette tells Ross that he is looking at the future of the WWF. 1994 is going to be there year. At the end of the year people will are going to realize just how dominate Camp Cornette was this year. Ross thinks that is a really bold statement but Cornette believes he has no reason to say that. Cornette says he has a man on his radar to be the first victim of Camp Cornette as they look to run wild over the WWF. Their target is Randy Savage and anyone close to him. Cornette wants his group to make a splash and they will do just that by ending Savage's career once and for all. 3. The Kamikaze Kid defeated Mike Sharpe in 4:02 following a top rope moonsault. 4. Razor Ramon defeated Eric Forge in 2:26 following the Razors Edge. After the match, Ramon refused to be interviewed by McMahon regarding the attack by Bigelow the other week. 5. Steiner Brothers Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with the WWF World Tag Team Champions, the Steiner Brothers. McMahon mentions the challenge issued by Shawn Michaels and Diesel. He says they believe they are the best tag team despite not having the championships that prove that fact. Scott Steiner laughs and says that Shawn Michaels is overly cocky and that cockiness is something that will cost him in the near future. He says that they need to beat some of the teams that are known here in the WWF and not some guys that are local talents. They are fighting champions, but they want Michaels and Diesel to show what they have to offer. “Show us that you are an elite team, and you will have the chance to beat the elite team!” 6. Ron Simmons defeated Tom Pritchard in 6:25 following a spine buster.
Next Week on Wrestling Challenge: The number one contender to the WWF World Championship, The Undertaker will be in singles action when he meets Samu.

Week #7: 2/14/1994 - 2/20/1994
WWF RAW 2/14/1994 (Bushkill, PA) 1. WWF World Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers defeated Duane Gill & Scott Taylor in 3:10 when Scott pinned Gill. During the match, Shawn Michaels and Diesel shared some pre-tape thoughts. Michaels revealed that next week on RAW they will be in tag team action against one the toughest tag teams in the WWF, the Nasty Boys. Michaels says they will get their title shot at Mania, even if that means going through every tag team! 2. Kings Court w/ Jerry Lawler: Lawler starts off welcoming all the idiot fans to the Kings Court. He says that backstage there has been a special locker room designated for Roddy Piper. Apparently, Piper has decided to come on the show! Lawler introduces the kilt wearing Piper to the ring. Piper's music hits and after a few moments, a midget comes out wearing a skirt, and has a comically big nose attached to his face. The smaller Piper grabs a microphone and uses his old line “I came out here to chew bubble gum and kick butt... and I'm all out of bubble gum.” Lawler tells him to calm down and says that they are hear to have a civilized conversation. Lawler calls the man a coward and a cheat for what he did to him at the Rumble. Lawler tells him that Kings Court is better than Pipers Pit and it's not even close. The midget Piper is fuming and tells Lawler to “put them up”. He wants to fight! Lawler reaches into his tights to get some bubble gum pieces. He ends up dropping them and as the smaller Piper bends down to get them, Lawler plants him with a pile driver! Lawler proceeds to cover “Piper” and counts the fall. Lawler brags about his “victory” and says that Piper will never show his face in the WWF ever again! 3. Yokozuna defeated Craig Stevenson in 1:22 following the Bonzai Drop. After the match, Randy Savage ran out to get his hands on Yokozuna. Savage actually managed to knock Yoko to the floor. Yoko was held back by Crush and the Quebecers, who had came out to hold him back. 4. Mr. Perfect/Jeff Jarrett Confrontation: Vince McMahon is standing in the ring when he introduces Mr. Perfect for an interview. Perfect is greeted with a warm reception. Before he can evens say a word, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton make their way out. Jarrett gets in the ring and tells McMahon and Perfect that no one wants to hear a loser talk. Jarrett talks down to Perfect saying that he shouldn't be a top priority and probably shouldn't even bother wrestling anymore. Jarrett says that 1994 is his year and he is making it his mission to get Mr. Perfect out of here. Perfect chimes in to say that Jarrett does a lot of talking, but he hasn't done anything to prove it. Perfect wants Jarrett to stop talking and try to take him out! Jarrett gets in Perfect's face and says he wants to embarrass Perfect on the grandest stage in the WWF. “I want to see my name on the marquee, I want 20,000 people to hear my name as the victor. I want to end you at WrestleMania X.” Perfect doesn't wait a second and quickly accepts the challenge. He finishes off telling Jarrett to be careful what he wishes for. Perfect even spits his gum at Norton before leaving the ring. Jarrett had to hold Norton back from going at Perfect. 5. Marty Jannetty defeated Steve Thomas in 2:05 following the Rocker Dropper. 6. British Bulldog Video: A video promoting the British Bulldog is aired. Several highlights from a few years ago were shown to really drive home how powerful Bulldog is. At the end of the video, it is revealed that Bulldog will be competing in action... next week on Superstars! 7.Ludvig Borga defeated Razor Ramon in 8:16 after Bam-Bam Bigelow nailed Ramon with his own gold jewelry.
Next week on RAW: Shawn Michaels and Diesel will be in tag action against the Nasty Boys. Will they prove to the Steiner Brothers that they are a threat? Also, Hulk Hogan will make his first ever RAW appearance... LIVE!
WWF Superstars 2/19/1994 1.The Smoking Gunns defeated Barry Hardy/Tim Williams in 2:55 when Billy pinned Hardy. 2. Owen Hart Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Owen Hart. Ross wants to know about his thoughts on Chris Benoit viciously attacking him last week. Owen doesn't know what has gotten into Benoit, but he isn't the same guy he used to know. Owen believes that Benoit is coward and heartless at the same time. Owen says that if Benoit thinks he is going to come into the WWF and prove that he is best to come out of the Hart Family, he will need to wrestle him first. Owen issues a one on one challenge for Benoit. “If you want to take credit for beating the best, you're going to have to go through me.” Owen wants Benoit to man up and face him like a man! 3. Crush defeated Jeremy Dunn in 2:10 with the Kona Vice. During the match, pre-tape comments from Randy Savage and Tatanka were aired. Savage said that next week they will take care of Camp Cornette and things could get ugly! Tatanka chimes in saying that will “crush the competition.” 4. IRS defeated Willie Anderson in 3:03 following a lariat. 5.Lex Luger Interview: Vince McMahon conducts an interview with the WWF World Champion, Lex Luger. McMahon brings up how Luger will be defending the championship against the Undertaker at WrestleMania X. Luger isn't afraid of death. He isn't afraid of the dark, and he certainly isn't afraid of the Undertaker. Luger says that no one gave him credit for his dominance as champion. No one thought he would knock out Bret Hart. Everyone thought that Mr. Perfect would realize his lifelong dream of winning the WWF World Championship, but Luger made sure that didn't happen. Luger believes he can't be beaten. Luger says that the Undertaker will rest in peace at WrestleMania X! 6.The Quebecers defeated Eric Houston/Dustin Erickson in 3:05 when Pierre pinned Houston. 7. Ron Simmons defeated WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel in a non-title match in 10:33 after hitting a spine buster. After the match, Simmons poses with the championship while Martel and Tamara are left worried on the aisle way.

WWF Wrestling Challenge 2/20/1994 1. Jeff Jarrett defeated Tony Simpson in 2:44 following a jumping DDT. 2. Razor Ramon Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Razor Ramon regarding Bam-Bam Bigelow. Ramon made it clear that he isn't afraid of any fight and if Bigelow thinks he is going to back down, he has another thing coming. Ramon is more than willing to show Bigelow that he isn't a joke nor is he fake, and he will do that by kicking his “flamed covered, bald head all over Madison Square Garden at WrestleMania X chico!” Ross pondered out loud to see if Bigelow would accept the challenge! 3.Jerry Lawler defeated Karl Diamond in 3:06 following a pile driver. 4.Chris Benoit defeated Luke James in 2:47 with the Crossface. 5.Jim Cornette Interview: Vince McMahon conducted an interview with Jim Cornette regarding the tag match next week on Superstars involving Yokozuna and Crush. Cornette tells us that his men are never going to get tired of beating up Randy Savage and Tatanka. He believes that next week on Superstars, Yokozuna and Crush will leave Tatanka and Savage laying in the ring while all the fans are left to cry at the destruction! 6.The Undertaker defeated Samu in 5:26 following a tombstone pile driver. During the match, WWF World Champion Lex Luger called in to say that he will not fall victim to the tombstone and the WWF World Championship will be his for as long as he lives!
Next week on Wrestling Challenge: Mr. Perfect will be in action against Jimmy Del Ray.

(Norton def. Kid, 5:20, **)

Bulldog tells Gene that IRS is guilty by association for what is going on with his family and his wife Diane. Bulldog plans on ripping through IRS tonight!
Second Contest: IRS vs. British Bulldog: Bulldog opened the bout with some serious offense hitting IRS with several clotheslines and a gorilla press slam. IRS bailed to the floor but returned to get the cheap advantage when Bulldog was playing to the crowd. IRS kept control of the bout with mat wrestling and worked on Bulldog's knee for several minutes. IRS missed a middle rope knee drop and Bulldog was able to soon hit a running powerslam to win the match. (Bulldog def. IRS, 7:13, *1/2)
Third Contest: Men on a Mission vs. The Heavenly Bodies: Mabel started the match hitting Pritchard and Del Ray with clotheslines and big splashes in the corner. Mo even got some offense in hitting a top rope cross body onto Del Ray. Mo was worked on by the Heavenly Bodies for a few moments as Mabel was left on the apron. Del Ray nearly beat the new team after hitting a top rope leg drop but Mo was able to kick out just before three. Mo broke free from Pritchard, who was then dropkicked by Del Ray on accident. Mabel got the tag and cleaned house sending Pritchard to the floor. Mabel slammed Del Ray before hitting a big splash to win the match! (Men on a Mission def. Heavenly Bodies, 7:45, **1/4)
Backstage, Mean Gene is standing with Diesel, Shawn Michaels and Bam-Bam Bigelow. Michaels tells Gene that tonight they are going to make sure their opponents for WrestleMania don't even make it there!

Fourth Contest: Diesel, Shawn Michaels & Bam-Bam Bigelow vs. WWF World Tag Team Champions the Steiner Brothers & Razor Ramon: Rick Steiner and Shawn Michaels opened the match with Rick getting the better of the exchange hitting an overhead belly to belly suplex. Diesel got involved in the match and nailed Rick with a big boot right in the face. Diesel maintained the advantage with a side slam but couldn't put Rick away. Rick avoided Diesel in the corner and hit a middle rope clothesline to knock the big man off his feet. Rick managed to tag in Ramon who hammered away on Diesel and knocked both Michaels and Bigelow off the apron. Diesel missed a big boot in the corner and was nearly rolled up by Ramon. Diesel soon delivered a snake eyes in the corner and Bigelow entered to work on Ramon for a few moments. Bigelow delivered several falling head butts and middle rope senton splash for a near fall. Ramon was able to crotch Bigelow on the top rope and hit a superplex to change the momentum for his team. Scott Steiner and Shawn Michaels ended in the ring as the other four men brawled on the floor. Scott was able to block a super kick attempt and hit a double under hook power bomb to earn the win for his team! (Steiner Bros & Ramon def. Diesel, HBK & Bigelow, 13:03, ***1/4)
Backstage, Mean Gene is with Owen Hart. Owen talks about how he has been by his brothers side during his issues with DiBiase and says that he is out for a measure of his own revenge. “Nobody disrespects the Hart Family and gets away with it!”
Fifth Contest: Owen Hart vs. Ted DiBiase: Owen used his speed advantage to work on DiBiase early on hitting a spinning heel kick in the opening moments of the contest. Owen missed a spear in the corner and hit the ring post and DiBiase delivered a back suplex to gain the momentum. DiBiase kept control with a falling fist drop and a back breaker before hitting a swinging neck breaker for a near fall. Owen tried to fight back but missed a missile dropkick and DiBiase locked in the Million Dollar Dream to win the bout. (Ted DiBiase def. Owen Hart, 6:38, ***)
Sixth Contest: WWF Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel vs. Marty Jannetty: Martel stalled for a few minutes on the floor as Jannetty got restless. Jannetty ended up hitting a slingshot cross body to finally get his hands on Martel. Jannetty looked to leap off the top rope after sending Martel into the ring but Tamara holds his leg and allowed Martel to drop Jannetty throat first across the top rope. Martel kept control with a snap suplex and a gut buster. Jannetty made a brief comeback with a DDT and a middle rope fist drop but couldn't put Martel away. Martel avoided a splash in the corner and rolled Jannetty up using the ropes for leverage to win the match. (Martel def. Jannetty, 7:56, **1/4)
Backstage, Mean Gene is with Randy Savage. Savage talks about his upcoming match against the mighty Yokozuna. Savage said tonight he is going to slam Yokozuna through the canvas and send Yoko back to Japan because the United States always wins! Savage leaves the scene but is still heard yelling in the background.
Seventh Contest: Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna: Savage ran into the ring and ducked a clothesline to jab Yokozuna several times. Savage came off the ropes and knee lifted Yokozuna through the middle rope to the floor in the opening moments to get the fans riled up! Cornette is calming down Yokozuna who is flipping out on the floor. He gets back in the ring and after absorbing a few more right hands is able to club Savage over the back to gain the advantage. Yokozuna slams Savage but misses a leg drop off the ropes. Savage heads to the top rope and looks for a double ax handle, and connects for a two count! Savage argues with the referee in the corner and is promptly splashed by Yokozuna! Yokozuna grabs Savage and followed up with a belly to belly suplex! Yokozuna delivered a leg drop and didn't waste any time to hit the Bonzai Drop, which was good enough for the win. (Yokozuna def. Savage, 6:22, **1/2).
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan talk about the main event coming up next. Heenan believes that Luger is going to prove that he isn't afraid of the Undertaker tonight and show the world that their isn't a challenger for his championship. Also, he thinks that Jarrett is going to make Perfect retire all tonight! Monsoon thinks Heenan is being ridiculous and believes that the Undertaker is going to put Luger six feet under tonight and Perfect will prove he is far from being done!
Main Event: WWF World Champion Lex Luger & Jeff Jarrett vs. The Undertaker & Mr. Perfect: Perfect started the match, and after a few moments, Jarrett decided to enter the ring. Perfect took Jarrett down with a hip toss, arm drag and a dropkick sending Jarrett to the floor. Jarrett rolled back in but it much of the same. Perfect backed Jarrett into a corner but is poked in the eyes by Jarrett while the referee had his back turned. Jarrett connected with a swinging neck breaker for a two count. Jarrett tagged in Luger who worked on Perfect with a delayed vertical suplex Luger scoop slams Perfect and hits an elbow drop several times. Luger set Perfect up for a superplex and connected with it for a two count! Perfect comes off the ropes and ducks under a forearm shot to hit Luger with a knee lift and a quick scoop slam. After a few moments, Perfect was able to crawl to the corner towards the Undertaker. Luger realized what was going in and snuck a tag in to Jarrett who quickly entered to try and stop Perfect. Taker got the tag and hammered away on Jarrett while Luger grabbed his championship and walked to the backstage area. Undertaker looks to hit a choke slam on Jarrett, but Scott Norton runs out and attacks Taker to cause the disqualification. After the match, Taker is double teamed until Perfect enters with a chair and whacks Norton over the back causing both men to bail to the floor. Taker sits up moments later and along with Perfect stalk towards Jarrett and Norton to close the show! (Taker & Perfect def. Luger & Jarrett by DQ, 9:16, **1/2)

The Week in Television Oh Bob, I'm sure this is as good as I remember it. Going to throw the TV in one reply so I can get to the juicy stuff at the bottom! Raw was filled with squashes as usual for most of the in ring time, as usual. Main event was good though, and I like that Borga actually went over. The real highlight was the King's Court segment. Well done segment, I could easily see Lawler doing that. Perfect/Jarrett will be a classic. Hulk Hogan will make his first ever RAW appearance... LIVE! Oh shit. Superstars and Wrestling Challenge were pretty much the same as Raw, just more hype for Wrestlemania. Main event was good on Superstars though, would like to see Simmons challenge for the title.
Boston Garden House Show This is what I was waiting for. Decent opening contest with Norton picking up the win. Awesome finish. The second contest was some nice build for the Hart/DiBiase feud and Davey going over was the best choice. Next match was okay, good win for Men on a Mission. The six man tag is epic just thinking about it. It was a good way to get a few more Wrestlemania feuds on the card, and the heels going over was fine this time around. I actually hope to see Michaels and Diesel taking the titles at Mania. More build for the Hart/DiBiase feud is awesome. Ted going over Owen was the right call, I really can't wait for the pay off at Wrestlemania to this feud. I'm actually looking to it more than Flair/Hogan. Nice to see a Championship match make it on the card, Rick Martel keeping the gold was the obvious and right call. Savage versus Yokozuna was an alright match, could have gone either way. I really liked the finish to the main event, with Luger running away and Jarrett getting disqualified. Perfect way to put the faces over without having to bury the heels. I just feel like the match clocking under ten minutes is too short. Great show, I can't wait for Wrestlemania X in Madison Square Garden.

First offf, I just gotta say that the Midget Piper "King's Court" bit put me in mind of when they had that skinny dude play him before KOTR.
Looking forward to Wrestlemania X after the excellent hype you're building. Awesome packed house show, and it was cool to get a 'sneak preview' of Bulldog in action before the next TV week. WM X can't come soon enough. Thank you for this diary. Keep up the great work.

Alright glad to see this still going man.
King's court segment was great, think I'm going to enjoy more of this King/Piper feud. Perfect/Jarrett feud should be a lot of fun as well as was their segment and look forward to their Wrestlemania X match. As I've said love Luger as champion and Luger/Taker is such an awesome main event to Wrestlemania.
As for the Boston House Show, well it was very good as usual. Norton/Kid as an opening contest is a bit eh. Nice to see Bulldog back and him picking up a win over a solid superstar in IRS was good. I wouldn't mind seeing Men on a Mission get a decent run at the titles. 6 man tag was good and a good way to push two feuds I am interested in seeing, the match was a good write up. Hart/Dibiase was good, I'm going to have to catch up on some of this as I'm bit lost with the Harts/Dibiase/Bulldog storyline but am interested in it none the less. I'm glad that you're still using Martel but I'm not really a fan of him being IC champ at this stage, hopefully it goes on someone else soon. Savage/Yoko was fine and a nice way to make Yoko look like a monster. Main event was a really good write up, like Luger not wanting a piece of Taker either, although perhaps it might've been better to have Jarrett take the fall there since he wouldn't look so bad being pinned by Taker after now being handicapped as the finish seems a bit eh way to end a big show.
Anyway great stuff as usual, your storytelling and booking are pretty top notch and you always make exciting match ups for big PPV's that I want to see. I'm going to have to catch up on a bit so I can make sense of what's going on, but I'm pumped to see what you bring out for Wrestlemania, keep it up man.

WWF RAW: Monday 31st January 1994...Jeff Jarrett with a win is a nice way to kick off the show. Jarrett with an insert promo on Mr Perfect was nice as well, Perfect will surely make Jarrett more important and recognized. British Bulldog on Jerry Lawler's segment, the King's Court was a pretty nice idea, Lawler continues to talk trash about the Hart Family. I guess this means that Bulldog is just warning Ted Dibiase for his feud with him after WrestleMania X. Great hype for Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair at WrestleMania. Should be an amazing match for wrestling history. Owen Hart with a win was a good idea, hopefully something knocks around for him after March 20th. WrestleMania's already looking stacked, even if it only has three matches booked for it. Mr Perfect beating Fatu was fine, not a bad main event in the slightest. Crush next week against Marty Jannetty should be fun.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 5th February 1994...Welcome to February! Randy Savage with a win was obviously a hot opening contest to the show. Chris Benoit's promo on Owen Hart reminded me of their feud, I shouldn't have forgotten that. I bet we see Benoit and Owen at WrestleMania. Ted Dibiase and the Smoking Gunns with wins were both fine. Ron Simmons had a good interview, I'm interested to see this Simmons and Rick Martel match, as I feel they'll have chemistry. Jerry Lawler with a win was fine. The Undertaker beating Scott Norton was a solid opening contest, and the disqualification finish just made Norton look all the better. Bret Hart and Jerry Saggs next week should be interesting. WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 6th February 1994...Doink the Clown with a win was a nice starter. Shawn Michaels and Diesel had a nice interview, more talk about Bret Hart and the Steiner Brothers. Could set up a great six man tag team match for a future house show in my opinion. Looking good. Irwin R Schyster beats a Student...that's how I read that. Mr Perfect's interview was nice, responding to Jeff Jarrett's words from Monday on RAW. Solid six man tag team match with the Steiner Brothers and Tatanka beating the Heavenly Bodies and Yokozuna, a Tatanka and Yokozuna feud would be awesome. Not a bad week for television, I'd say that Superstars was the best though.
WWF RAW: Monday 7th February 1994...Bushkill, PA hahahah! Mr Perfect with a win was a good opening contest, looking forward to how this feud with Jeff Jarrett goes. He wants to send Perfect to the unemployment line? Loser Leaves Town match to settle the score, that's how I see it. Loved Jerry Lawler introducing himself to the King's Court, clearly a filler segment...until Roddy Piper is brought up. Can't wait for them to face off, their hype for the King of the Ring in 1994 was incredible. The Headshrinkers and Tatanka with wins was fair filling for RAW, and Lex Luger's promo was nice, talking about the Undertaker's mind games. Chris Benoit had a great win, German suplex as his finisher was an interesting alternative to his submission finisher. Crush beating Marty Jannetty was expected. Jim Cornette's attack was cheap in the best way possible, and Tatanka making the save was good and unexpected. I look forward to Razor Ramon facing Ludvig Borga next week.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 12th February 1994...Owen Hart had a nice encounter to start off, and I loved Chris Benoit's no love for Owen following it. Wonder if that shoulder will be the target of the next few weeks for Benoit. Bam Bam Bigelow's interview was great, him still mentioning what he did to the Undertaker was a great touch by the way, classic heel. Razor Ramon and he should put on some great encounters. Ludvig Borga, Shawn Michaels and Diesel looked good in their showings. Rick Martel's interview was good, I see Ron Simmons is in line for a WWF Intercontinental Championship shot, I see Martel retaining through this. Randy Savage with a win is good, I wonder if he's doing anything for WrestleMania X...he's just been beating enhancement talent up lately. Bret Hart over Jerry Saggs was expected, great involvement from Ted Dibiase on the screen, amazing heat for Dibiase for doing that to Hart House. I could have seen this main eventing RAW though honestly. Simmons and Martel next week in non-title action is BIG for Superstars. I see Simmons with the win.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 13th February 1994...Jeff Jarrett with a win is nice, and I loved Mr Perfect calling in about it. Jim Cornette's interview was great, ah so this is what Randy Savage is doing for WrestleMania X. Could this put Savage out of the WWF for WCW like in reality? I wonder. The Kamikaze Kid with a win was fine. Razor Ramon winning and refusing an interview was a nice touch. He is ANGRY at Bam Bam Bigelow for attacking him. The Steiner Brothers' interview was great, nice to extend the build for their match with Diesel and Shawn Michaels by having them prove their way to the WrestleMania X match. Ron Simmons beating Tom Pritchard was a fair main event. The Undertaker against Samu next week should be great. Overall a marvelous week for television, but Superstars continues to strike me as the best.

WWF RAW: Monday 14th February 1994...I hope we see something Valentine's Day themed for this show, but I doubt we will really. You know what would have been good though? Rick Martel and Tamara on a date just to be interrupted by Ron Simmons. The Steiner Brothers with a win was a fair way to kick off the show, good way to involve Shawn Michaels and Diesel with their insert promo. Hmm, their opponent are the Nasty Boys? I see something going on here, since Jerry Saggs and Brian Knobbs are heels. Jerry Lawler once again talking himself up on the King's Court is great, as well as the Roddy Piper impersonator. This is what made the storyline perfect in real life. Yokozuna with a win was cool, nice squash. Randy Savage to feud him? Lovely. I can't see Savage ever beating Yoko though unfortunately. Mr Perfect and Jeff Jarrett's feud is getting really heated. I am looking forward to their match at WrestleMania X, it should surely make Jarrett a star. I was thinking Perfect would take time off like in real life after WrestleMania, I wonder if that happens. Marty Jannetty with a win was ideal and kept him relevant. British Bulldog with a hype video? Huh...filler segment. I'm worried for Bulldog too though, it means he may not be doing anything at all for WrestleMania. Ludvig Borga beating Razor Ramon thanks to Bam Bam Bigelow was superb. Nice main event. Next week's RAW sounds big, especially looking forward to Hulk Hogan on RAW...hey, maybe the King's Court!
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 19th February 1994...The Smoking Gunns...I forgot about these guys! Fair win for them. Owen Hart's interview was pretty nice, and I liked his involvement with Chris Benoit. Could be a stand out program between him and Benoit for sure. Crush with a win was fine, liked Randy Savage and Tatanka teaming up to hopefully get rid of Camp Cornette. Irwin R Schyster with a win...he really doesn't have anything to do this March. Maybe a feud with British Bulldog? You know, just as they both support Bret Hart and Ted Dibiase respectively. Could be a nice back up feud. Lex Luger's interview was fine, looking forward to if he beats The Undertaker or not. I wonder if he can overcome the mind games and retain the WWF Championship. I don't think he will retain at WrestleMania X. The Quebecers with a win is good; now give these guys something good to do! Ron Simmons beating Rick Martel was a solid main event, liked Simmons cleanly beating the WWF Intercontinental Champion as it sets up a great build for their title rematch at WrestleMania. Colossal match set up for next week with Randy Savage and Tatanka facing Yokozuna and Crush. Looking forward to it.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 20th February 1994...Jeff Jarrett with a win was pretty cool, I guess. Razor Ramon's promo was well done and straight to the point, he's been driven over the edge by Bam Bam Bigelow and he wants revenge now. Jerry Lawler and Chris Benoit with wins was fine. Jim Cornette's interview was good, I wonder what you actually have lined up for Camp Cornette, Tatanka and Randy Savage for WrestleMania X. The Undertaker beating Samu proved as a worthy main event and I loved Lex Luger's call in promo as WWF Champion. Overall, a nice week of television again, RAW definitely won me over this week.
WWF Live @ Boston: Sunday 19th February 1994...I always look forward to these shows, as mainly they are unrelated to television storylines and everything. Scott Norton and Kamikaze Kid was an interesting choice for opening contest, happy to see Norton with a clean win, but hopefully something is coming up that is good for the Kid. Ah, I guess you did Irwin R. Schyster and British Bulldog, haha. Well predicted I guess. Bulldog winning was expected, didn't seem too great a match generally. Men on a Mission and the Heavenly Bodies would have been better off opening the show if I'm honest. Crowd pleasing start and such. Obvious victory for the two Men on a Mission against the Heavenly Bodies, you need to get Mabel and Mo into the WWF Tag Team Championships scene after WrestleMania X. Heated six man tag team match that combined the Diesel and Shawn Michaels vs Steiner Brothers & the Razor Ramon vs Bam Bam Bigelow feuds well. The Steiners with the win was a good call, and must have pleased the fans. The first proper highlight of the night. Ted Dibiase beating Owen Hart only fueled more hate for Dibiase from the Hart Family, well done tie-in there. Wonder if Dibiase ends up having to face Ross Hart, or another Hart member before WrestleMania. Rick Martel was clearly going to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty, seemed like a nice filler though. Clean finish wouldn't have hurt though. Randy Savage falling to Yokozuna in this venue puts him over huge, I just wonder if Savage can get a win over this guy, and if so, how. And lastly, great main event with Lex Luger and the Undertaker meeting eye to eye whilst Jeff Jarrett got his shot at the main event on this house show. Liked the finish especially, a chaotic picture. Overall, it did the job well. Promoted storylines both for WrestleMania X and satisfied as fillers and crowd pleasers as well. Great work.

Boston House Show:
- Nice wins for Scott Norton and British Bulldog in the first two matches of the evening. Big fan of both men, would like to see them get good pushes in the future. - Haha, Men on a Mission. - Awesome six man tag match with a The Steiner's and Razor Ramon getting the win. Scott pining Michaels is pretty cool, would like to see a singles match in their future. - Nice, big win for Yokozuna over Randy Savage. It'll be interesting to see now that he hasn't won the rumble, how long it takes to put the belt on Yoko. - Great tag team main event. Shady finish to keep everyone strong. Will be interesting to see if you put the WWF Championship on Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
