February 6 1993 - WWF Superstars
Vince McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper welcomed us to the show. They hyped appearances tonight from Bam Bam Bigelow, Sid Justice as he teams with Yokozuna, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Big Boss Man defeated Ted Oates. - Boss Man dominated this one, throwing his opponent around the ring like a rag-doll. - Oates looked ready to pass out (probably did) when the Boss Man stormed at him at full-speed, crushing his 300lbs frame against the turnbuckles. - Boss Man pulled Oates crumpled body from the mat and hit a devastating Boss Man slam to end the misery.
Sid Justice and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) defeated Tommy Landell and Randy Hunter. - I think this one lasted no more than two minutes. - Sid started the match, and dismantled the first of his opponents before inviting the second one in to meet a similar fate. - Yoko tagged in and finished off the match with a huge Banzai Drop from the second rope, near enough flattening his victim. - During the match, there was an insert promo featuring all three. Mr. Fuji did most of the talking, and in his broken-English, warned the entire world that the two men beside him were going to destroy Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania.
A promotional video aired for WrestleMania IX, with Hulk Hogan touring the city of Las Vegas via helicopter.
Sean Mooney interviewed Shawn Michaels ahead of his match, with his bodyguard Diesel towering over him. Mooney asked Michaels of his plans going forward. The Heart Break Kid responded by calling Mooney an idiot, because it's obvious; someone like Shawn Michaels is always moving forward, moving forward to more beautiful women and more championship gold. Shawn said to expect another "leap forward" very soon.
Shawn Michaels (with Diesel) defeated Virgil. - An entertaining and competitive contest mid-way through the show. - Virgil had the crowd going with sharp boxing-like jabs to the jaw of Michaels. - The match turned in Michaels favour when the giant Diesel grabbing Virgil's leg from under the bottom rope, stopping his momentum. - Virgil, distracted by this, turned straight into a Super Kick right to the jaw.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund hosted a quick WWF Update from inside Titan Towers. He focused heavily on the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event show eminating live from Los Angeles. Okerlund made two announcements, the first being that on February 27 we will witness the debut of a very exciting tag team in Scott and Rick - the Steiner Brothers. They will be taking on the duo of Kamala and Kim-Chee. Also at Saturday Night's Main Event, Bret Hart will make one more defense of his World Wrestling Federation Championship before WrestleMania. On the next edition of Monday Night RAW, President DiBiase will announce Bret's opponent. We also saw stills from Bret Hart's successful title defense against Razor Ramon from this week on RAW, due to the appearance of the champion's WrestleMania opponent The Undertaker.
We saw a pre-taped promo from WWF Intercontinental Champion "The Model" Rick Martel. Staring vainly into his title belt, Martel's time on camera only served to talk about himself and his good looks, and how the beauty of his Intercontinental title only reflected the beauty reflected in it. (Note; it seems the WWF are ignoring Diesel's capturing of the Intercontinental Championship earlier in the week.)
Bam Bam Bigelow (with Jimmy Hart) defeated Duane Gill. - Bigelow made excessive use of the environment outside of the ring, slamming Duane Gill into the barricade in front of horrified fans, into the steel ring posts and onto the concrete floor. - Fairly quickly, Bam Bam launched himself from the top and connected with a Diving Headbutt, enough to pin his opponent.
Commercials aired again for WrestleMania, with superstars such as Hulk Hogan, Jeff Jarrett, Tatanka, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Razor Ramon, Jake Roberts, and the Bushwhackers unleashed upon Las Vegas!
Randy Savage defeated Papa Shango. - A decent end to the show, with Savage having to overcome the massive voodoo master. - Shango implemented his magic into the match. He brought in his staff and chanted as he had Savage down on the mat. The Macho Man squirmed and writhed in agony. - The turning point saw Shango abandon this tactic, thinking the damage done was enough to beat Savage. However, as Shango bounced off the ropes looking to hit a huge splash that would have crushed his opponent, Macho Man moved and avoided the devastation. - From here, Savage found a way back, eventually pinning Shango with a Diving Elbow Drop from the top rope. - Superstars concluded with a shot of Randy Savage celebrating on the second rope.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 6th February 1993...Wow, awesome that this has returned. The Big Bossman getting the win over Ted Oates was nice, typical start to Superstars in this time period. Sid Justice and Yokozuna is a dominant team, I love it. I'm wondering what the card for WrestleMania IX will look like, and how you book it. Decent promo with Shawn Michaels, just to get him moving forward in this venture. Shawn Michaels with a win over Virgil was a nice mid-hour main event. Wow, I'm looking forward to who will face Bret Hart for the WWF Championship. Interesting call to hold it on Saturday Night's Main Event (even better to have SNME brought back; good execution). Rick Martel's promo was cool, just to get the FORMER WWF Intercontinental Champion recognized further. Wonder why Diesel wasn't revealed as the new champion. Bam Bam Bigelow's win was nice, I like that he is being managed by Jimmy Hart. Randy Savage beating Papa Shango was a big main event, and a good win for Savage. Overall, good episode of Superstars, and I can't wait to see more of this gem.

February 7 1993 - WWF Wrestling Challenge @ Beaumont, TX
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan welcomed us to the show. They hyped appearances from Shawn Michaels, The Ultimate Warrior, Agent Dean, Vice-President Schyster, and a main event featuring Marty Jannetty taking on The Narcissist!
Sid Justice and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji) defeated Tommy Landell and Randy Hunter. (Superstars, 6/2/93) - I think this one lasted no more than two minutes. - Sid started the match, and dismantled the first of his opponents before inviting the second one in to meet a similar fate. - Yoko tagged in and finished off the match with a huge Banzai Drop from the second rope, near enough flattening his victim. - During the match, there was an insert promo featuring all three. Mr. Fuji did most of the talking, and in his broken-English, warned the entire world that the two men beside him were going to destroy Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania.
The British Bulldog defeated Alan Martin. - Davey Boy started strong and allowed himself to carry the momentum throughout the match. - Martin falls victim to a gruesome attack, as the Bulldog almost takes his head off with a clothesline. - Bulldog pinned his opponent with a Running Powerslam.
We saw a first ever promo from Agent Dean, "the WWF's Man of Mystery". Dean says that he has "intelligence" on everyone and everything in the World Wrestling Federation, knowledge he will use to complete his current operation - to become the WWF Heavyweight Champion. He will silence all enemies who stand before him.
Shawn Michaels (with Diesel) defeated Jim Neidhart. - Neidhart was the quick starter in this one, overpowering the Heart Break Kid. - However, just as he has been previously, bodyguard Diesel made a big difference and swung the match in Michaels favour. - Michaels looked energetic and exciting. Neidhart was clearly lacking stamina. - Neidhart missed a running splash into the turnbuckle, turning straight into a Superkick from Michaels. Three seconds later and it was all over. - During the match we saw an insert where Sean Mooney interviewed Shawn Michaels, with his bodyguard Diesel towering over him. Mooney asked Michaels of his plans going forward. The Heart Break Kid responded by calling Mooney an idiot, because it's obvious; someone like Shawn Michaels is always moving forward, moving forward to more beautiful women and more championship gold. Shawn said to expect another "leap forward" very soon. (Superstars, 6/2/93)
A vignette aired featuring World Wrestling Federation Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart promoting several WWF live events coming to your town very soon!
The Ultimate Warrior defeated Iron Mike Sharpe. - This lasted all of 30 seconds. Warrior never gave this guy a chance. - Warrior bounced off the ropes over and over before launching himself through the air and knocking his opponent out with a Shoulder Tackle.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund was standing by on the podium, ready to welcome the Vice-President of the World Wrestling Federation, Irwin R. Schyster. IRS, complete with neck brace, came out to a chorus of boos. He demanded that the crowd rise and salute their WWF President, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. Okerlund immediately began fishing for answers regarding Bret Hart's opponent for Saturday Night's Main Event on February 27. Vice-President Schyster didn't give much away, but was clear in stating that Bret Hart probably won't be making it to WrestleMania as the World Wrestling Federation Champion!
Sean Mooney hosted a quick WWF Update from inside Titan Towers. He focused heavily on the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event show eminating live from Los Angeles. Mooney covered two announcements made by Gene Okerlund on Superstars, the first being that on February 27 we will witness the debut of a very exciting tag team in Scott and Rick - the Steiner Brothers. They will be taking on the duo of Kamala and Kim-Chee. Also at Saturday Night's Main Event, Bret Hart will make one more defense of his World Wrestling Federation Championship before WrestleMania. On the next edition of Monday Night RAW, President DiBiase will announce Bret's opponent. We also saw stills from Bret Hart's successful title defense against Razor Ramon from this week on RAW, due to the appearance of the champion's WrestleMania opponent The Undertaker. Speaking of The Undertaker, Monday Night RAW will also feature a special report on the WWF Champion's WrestleMania opponent!
Bobby Heenan was replaced at the broadcast booth by James E. Cornette ahead of the main event.
Commercials aired again for WrestleMania, with superstars such as Hulk Hogan, Jeff Jarrett, Tatanka, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Razor Ramon, Jake Roberts, and the Bushwhackers unleashed upon Las Vegas!
The Narcissist (with Bobby Heenan and Mr. Perfect) defeated Marty Jannetty. - A quick bout to end the programme. - Heenan LOVED the performance The Narcissist gave here. He kept instructing Mr. Perfect to "learn" from him. - Jannetty didn't leave much of a mark during this match. He showed heart and determination to produce a small fight-back, but seconds later was put back down to the mat. - Narcissist finished off a lifeless Jannetty with a Running Forearm. - The show concluded with Heenan raising The Narcissist's arm and demanded that an uncomfortable (and potentially annoyed) Mr. Perfect raise his other arm.

FEDERATION NEWSLINE
- There is talk of hot-shotting the Intercontinental Championship off Rick Martel prior to WrestleMania IX. Officials want to put higher profile names into the bout for the belt. Currently, Shawn Michaels is pencilled in to challenge.
It should be mentioned that Diesel's aborted reign with the belt was also due to the WWF wanting a higher profile WrestleMania match.
- At this time WWF officials are puzzled as to where to book the Ultimate Warrior onto the WrestleMania IX card. Plans from late 1992 suggest the plan was for the Warrior to win the Royal Rumble and challenge Bret Hart in Las Vegas. Possible opponents now seem to be Bam Bam Bigelow, Razor Ramon, or Ted DiBiase.
- The World Wrestling Federation have signed former USWA Tag Team Champions Ron and Don Harris. They join fellow new recruits Mondo Kleen, an independent wrestler based out of Long Island, The Harlem Knights, and SMW Television Champion The Nightstalker.
Rumours also suggest the WWF failed in negotiations with Jerry "The King" Lawler.
- 00DEAN has been repackaged as "Agent Dean" as Vince McMahon personally believes that his name will be more understandable this way, as some were getting confused with the previous name's pronunciation.

February 8 1993 - WWF Monday Night RAW @ New York City
Vince McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper welcomed us to this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, hyping Mr. Perfect, The Bushwhackers and Doink the Clown all in action tonight. Plus! The revelation by "Million Dollar President" Ted DiBiase of who WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart's opponent for Saturday Night's Main Event will be.
Razor Ramon defeated Ross Greenberg. Razor toyed with his opponent for several minutes, venting built-up frustration from previous weeks of battles with the likes of Bret Hart, before "carving him up" and finishing him with a huge Razor's Edge.
Following the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund entered the ring, mentioning that Razor had requested this time to talk. Razor said that he was unhappy with the way he was being treated, robbed of the World Wrestling Federation Title twice and not being taken seriously heading into WrestleMania. Therefore, he is issuing an open challenge for Las Vegas to anyone who thinks they can take down the Bad Guy.
Promotional consideration, paid for by the following - Bret "Hitman" Hart tells us that to be WWF Champion, you need hard work, discipline and the integrated conditioning program of ICOPRO. "Macho Man" Randy Savage bursts on screen advising us to forget potato chips and to choose beef! Snap into a Slim Jim, ohhh yeah!
The Bushwhackers defeated Reno Riggins and Tony Demoro. Luke and Butch got a fairly good reception from the New York crowd as they march down to the ring. It's not often they get out to a WWF ring now, so they took full advantage in picking up the win. Demoro and Riggins were beaten with simultaneous Battering Rams!
A WrestleMania IX commercial aired featuring an Elvis impersonator performing on stage as "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and Jim Cornette sat by watching in disgust. Jarrett shoved Elvis to the floor and proclaimed himself not only the greatest wrestler in the world, but the greatest musician too.
Owen Hart defeated Mr. Perfect (with Bobby Heenan). During the match, a tape played highlighting the various incidents where Bobby Heenan has instructed Mr. Perfect to be more like The Narcissist. Here, something went horribly wrong as Perfect was beaten by the underdog Owen Hart. Heenan yelled insult after insult to Perfect from the outside as opportunities passed by to finish the match. Hart capitalised, rolling up the former Intercontinental Champion for his first WWF singles victory.
After the match, Heenan confronted Mr. Perfect in the ring, branding him such things as "washed up", "useless", "has-been", to name a few. The audience is stunned by Heenan then FIRING his client in the ring. Angered, Perfect grabbed a startled Heenan by the neck and threatened to slap him around the ring. The Brain begged for mercy and offered to take Perfect back if he let him go. Perfect made the mistake of pandering to a crowd eager to see Bobby Heenan pulverised before them. This allowed The Narcissist to hit the ring and club Perfect round the head. The two beat him down in the ring before leaving, Heenan telling Perfect he's made the biggest mistake of his life.
A still image appeared for the WWF WrestleMania Hotline - call the number on your screen for the chance to hear exclusive WrestleMania news and information on the latest WWF merchandise from your favourite WWF superstar!
Sean Mooney was seen patrolling through the audience, trying the gather the vote opinion to one question - who should answer Razor Ramon's WrestleMania challenge? Several answers were put forward - The British Bulldog, Owen Hart, The Ultimate Warrior, Brutus Beefcake, and even Hulk Hogan! Mooney reminded us about Saturday Night's Main Event coming to you on February 27, featuring the debut of The Steiner Bros. against Kamala and Kim-Chee, and Bret Hart defending the World Wrestling Federation Championship against an opponent to be named later tonight! A graphic appeared revealing that Hulk Hogan will sit down for an interview next week on RAW! Mooney concluded by making a swift announcement on behalf of the WWF Board of Directors, that as a result of his actions moments earlier, The Narcissist will meet the Big Boss Man next week on Monday Night RAW!
A pre-taped promo aired featuring Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Roberts chillingly warned everyone, especially Randy Savage, that very soon he would be ending the Macho Man's career, once and for all.
Doink the Clown defeated Terry Taylor. Our final contest of the night saw the evil clown Doink prance down to the ring to meet veteran Terry Taylor. Despite his goofy image, Doink is no push-over, and handled himself well against Taylor much to his frustration. Doink surprised his opponent with a move off the top-rope dubbed the "Whoopie Cushion", enough to gain the pinfall. Following the match, Doink desecrated Taylor's face with a marker pen.
A special report aired on The Undertaker, narrated by Gorilla Monsoon. The video package focuses on Undertaker's dominant past, and the mysterious power of the urn constantly kept close by Paul Bearer. It has seen him beat "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan. Will it be the key to success at WrestleMania IX?
Up next, President DiBiase has answers!
We returned with Vince McMahon in the ring waiting. The familiar laughter announcing the Million Dollar President's arrival soon followed. DiBiase, accompanied by Vice-President Schyster, mocked the New York fans, telling those in range of his poison barbs that they were "peasants" and "morons". McMahon reminded us why DiBiase was there, to announce Bret Hart's opponent for February 27 at Saturday Night's Main Event. DiBiase stalled at first, taking the time to "remind" everyone that Hart was a bore and that they were in fact there to see him. DiBiase said that WrestleMania is the biggest event in the entire world and it should be focused on him, the President of the WWF, the Champion of the World Wrestling Federation. McMahon asked him if he means what he thinks he means.. President DiBiase announced that HE will be the one to take the WWF Title from Bret Hart at Saturday Night's Main Event!
Monday Night RAW concluded with DiBiase motioning for the title, mocking the crowd as his evil laughter cackles over the P.A system.

RAW 2/8/1993
Ugh, I hate the Bushwhackers. They offer next to nothing to the WWF.
I enjoyed the segment between Perfect/Luger/Heenan. I'm figuring that Owen's win will be a catapult into bigger things and it's like a minor tidbit to a bigger feud happening.
Personally, I'd love to see President DiBiase to win the title on SNME. I'd prefer a heel vs. face showdown with Taker chasing after DiBiase.
Glad to see this is back as old school diaries are fun to see around.

WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 7th February 1993...I suppose that this was all taped in one night, being held in Beaumont, Texas. The British Bulldog kicking things off is nice, I really liked it. Hopefully Bulldog sticks around for a while, and possibly gets a good main event/uppercard run of things. Agent Dean? Hmm, interesting concept. Who is it in real life though? I want to say Dean Douglas...but yeah, nevermind. Shawn Michaels beating Jim Neidhart is big for Wrestling Challenge, got Shawn over more; Neidhart is essentially just an enhancement talent to the stars in the World Wrestling Federation at this point. Interesting call to have Diesel already with Michaels as well (I can never remember when the transition was finally made from Sensational Sherri to Diesel). The Ultimate Warrior in 1993 is a unique tactic, wonder how he'll settle in the WWF with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Bret Hart and all of the other major stars running around - especially with the Steroid Scandal thing coming up. Ted Dibiase and Irwin R. Schyster being billed as the "President" and "Vice-President" of the WWF is fantastic, and I'm looking forward to where this is going. The Steiner Brothers debut! Great stuff, having them go against Kamala and Kim-Chee is a strange decision for their first match, though. Hmm. Loving the idea of Bret facing the Undertaker at WrestleMania IX...it's an interesting one, especially in this era of the company, whenever someone books the Undertaker in a WrestleMania match, people are never sure if you're wanting to go about with 'Taker racking up the streak...or just killing it before it became a major selling point to his character. I think Bret's had a great WWF Championship reign though, if he does lose. The Narcissist, Lex Luger eh? I hope he remains as a heel, I loved the gimmick. Good main event win for Luger against Marty Jannetty. Overall, quite a decent show. I need to become more adapted to your formats of these shows.
Federation Newsline...Shame that Rick Martel may suddenly lose the WWF Intercontinental Championship, but I guess it's good that it's not to Diesel anyhow. I figure Diesel will end up managing or something. I don't see why Shawn Michaels should take the title from Martel though, both men being heels (unless I've missed something). Wow, I'd love to see the Ultimate Warrior challenge Bam Bam Bigelow. I figure Razor Ramon and Warrior would have awkward chemistry. The Harris Brothers are in the World Wrestling Federation...eh. I really never liked their work in all honesty. The Harlem Knights!? Surely not Booker T and Stevie Ray...right!? It is a shame that Jerry Lawler was ungainable, it'll be weird as 1993 progresses.
WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 8th February 1993...Nice utilization of Roddy Piper as color commentator for this show. Razor Ramone had a good win to start things off, and I liked his promo, complaining about him not being taken seriously. An open challenge? That's never good for a superstar to announce, sort of like the equal of "creative has nothing for you but we really need you so here have a random opponent". I loved the advertisement segments, very realistic and humorous. Also gave us more of a friendly, informal vibe to the product written out. The Bushwackers with a squash win...in 1993? I'm not sure what to think of that, I feel like this segment could have been filled with something/someone better getting a win. Jeff Jarrett in a comedy WrestleMania angle, love it. Ain't he great? Owen Hart beating Mr Perfect!? Wow, I guess this is your version of the Lightning Kid vs Razor Ramon. Nice. Bobby Heenan talking down Mr Perfect? Wow, no way José. Lex Luger attacked Mr Perfect? Fantastic, I dig this feud idea. Very realistically done, may I add. Social media tactics prior to a social media on the Internet existing, interesting for the live audience. I think that British Bulldog would make a terrific opponent for Razor. Jake Roberts' rivalry with Randy Savage re-invoked for WrestleMania? I like the sound of that. Doink the Clown beating Terry Taylor proved its' purpose, I like Doink's dark clown gimmick here - they should have never turned him face. Hahah, natural heatseeking Ted Dibiase booking himself a WWF Championship shot against Bret Hart. It's a shame that Bret's obviously winning due to having more star power than poor Teddy. I hope to see more matches with these two throughout the year. Overall, decent show with one thing I'd change. I'm loving how your emphasis is still 70/30 more on WrestleMania than Saturday Night's Main Event, whilst keeping both balanced and interesting to read. Good work!

February 13 1993 - WWF Superstars @ San Jose, CA
Vince McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper welcomed us to the show. They hyped appearances tonight from Double J, Rick Martel defending the Intercontinental Title against "El Matador" Tito Santana, and The Undertaker!
Owen Hart defeated Mr. Perfect (with Bobby Heenan). (Highlights from Monday Night RAW, 8/3/1993) During the match, a tape played highlighting the various incidents where Bobby Heenan has instructed Mr. Perfect to be more like The Narcissist. Here, something went horribly wrong as Perfect was beaten by the underdog Owen Hart. Heenan yelled insult after insult to Perfect from the outside as opportunities passed by to finish the match. Hart capitalised, rolling up the former Intercontinental Champion for his first WWF singles victory.
After the match, Heenan confronted Mr. Perfect in the ring, branding him such things as "washed up", "useless", "has-been", to name a few. The audience is stunned by Heenan then FIRING his client in the ring. Angered, Perfect grabbed a startled Heenan by the neck and threatened to slap him around the ring. The Brain begged for mercy and offered to take Perfect back if he let him go. Perfect made the mistake of pandering to a crowd eager to see Bobby Heenan pulverised before them. This allowed The Narcissist to hit the ring and club Perfect round the head. The two beat him down in the ring before leaving, Heenan telling Perfect he's made the biggest mistake of his life.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund welcomed The Narcissist and Bobby Heenan out to the interview podium. Okerlund questions Heenan's recent behaviour towards Mr. Perfect, why he continued to mock and berate his performances. And why did The Narcissist attack him in such brutal fashion? Heenan said Mr. Perfect is a lie from head to toe, from his ugly face to his stupid white boots, to the name he parades around as. He called Perfect a goof that got what he deserved. Narcissist warned that if Mr. Perfect steps out of line again then he can expect a more severe beating that will definitely put him in the hospital and out of the WWF. Suddenly, Big Boss Man interrupted the duo, brandishing his nightstick as a reminder that he isn't to be messed with. Boss Man told Narcissist that he doesn't like what he sees, and what he sees is someone getting too big for their own boots. When they meet next week on Monday Night RAW, Boss Man will take him down a peg or too and make him face justice for the attack on Mr. Perfect. Narcissist mocked the Boss Man, telling him that he's an idiot dressed like a cop, "another lie", and that on Monday, he will end up like Mr. Perfect - a broken mess in the middle of the ring.
An ICOPRO commercial aired featuring Tatanka.
Double J (with Jim Cornette) defeated Mike Edwards. Double J puts in an impressive performance to despatch his opponent here in good time. Double J, cocky-as-ever, literally strutted his way to victory, eventually forcing Mike Edwards to tap out the the Figure-Four Leglock.
Sean Mooney hosted a quick WWF Update from inside Titan Towers. He focused heavily on the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event show eminating live from Los Angeles. Mooney covered the upcoming event on February 27 where we will witness the debut of a very exciting tag team in Scott and Rick - the Steiner Brothers. They will be taking on the duo of Kamala and Kim-Chee. Also at Saturday Night's Main Event, Bret Hart will make one more defense of his World Wrestling Federation Championship before WrestleMania. On the last edition of Monday Night RAW, President DiBiase announced himself as Bret's opponent. In addition, Mooney exclusively revealed the latest match booked for Saturday Night's Main Event - Tatanka will go one-on-one with the undefeated Bam Bam Bigelow!
Rick Martel vs. Tito Satana resulted in a no-contest due to injury to Martel. (Martel retains the Intercontinental Championship) El Matador entered and was ready to go when Martel limped to the ring on crutches, claiming that, unfortunately, he suffered a horrific injury earlier in the day that would prevent him defending his title that night. He apologised to the crowd before introducing his replacement - Papa Shango.
Papa Shango defeated Tito Santana. The sudden change of opponents seemed to have thrown Santana off his game, and he never really got into this one. Shango flourished in this quick contest, pinning the Santana with a Shoulderbreaker.
A WrestleMania commercial aired featuring Hulk Hogan in Las Vegas, touring the city and Caesar's Palace. It was announced that a press conference will take place at Caesar's Palace on April 3, the day before WrestleMania IX.
Kamala and Kim-Chee defeated Ricky Nelson and Anthony Howard. Kamala did most of the work in this quick match. Howard was squashed with a Splash from the Ugandan Giant.
During the match, an insert promo aired from The Steiner Bros. - their first appearance in the World Wrestling Federation. Their message was brief but clear, that they intended to take the WWF by storm and win the WWF Tag Team Titles.
We saw Vince McMahon in the ring waiting. The familiar laughter announcing the Million Dollar President's arrival soon followed. DiBiase, accompanied by Vice-President Schyster, mocked the New York fans, telling those in range of his poison barbs that they were "peasants" and "morons". McMahon reminded us why DiBiase was there, to announce Bret Hart's opponent for February 27 at Saturday Night's Main Event. DiBiase stalled at first, taking the time to "remind" everyone that Hart was a bore and that they were in fact there to see him. DiBiase said that WrestleMania is the biggest event in the entire world and it should be focused on him, the President of the WWF, the Champion of the World Wrestling Federation. McMahon asked him if he means what he thinks he means.. President DiBiase announced that HE will be the one to take the WWF Title from Bret Hart at Saturday Night's Main Event! Monday Night RAW concluded with DiBiase motioning for the title, mocking the crowd as his evil laughter cackles over the P.A system. (Highlights from Monday Night RAW, 8/3/1993)
On promotional package aired featuring two cowboys riding across the desert. The introduced themselves as Billy and Bart Gunn - the Smoking Gunns. And soon, they'll be riding the sunset straight into the World Wrestling Federation!
The Undertaker (with Paul Bearer) defeated Jim Gorman. The number one contender demolished Gorman within a couple of minutes. The small offense unleashed on The Undertaker was useless, it had no effect at all. With Paul Bearer at ringside brandishing the urn, The Undertaker was seemingly unstoppable, and finished off Gorman with a Tombstone Piledriver. You have to wonder whether or not this same outcome will occur at WrestleMania IX when the Royal Rumble winner challenges the World Wrestling Federation Champion!
The show ends with The Undertaker slowly making his way to the back, led by Paul Bearer and the urn.

February 14 1993 @ Long Beach, CA
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan welcomed us to the show. Tonight on Wrestling Challenge, the return of Earthquake! The Undertaker! Agent Dean! And the Repo Man squares off against the Native American, Tatanka! ---- - "The Model" Rick Martel vs. Tito Santana; no contest due to injury. (Martel retains the Intercontinental Championship) Martel hobbled to the ring claiming injury would not allow him to defend the title tonight. He introduced his replacement as Papa Shango.. (Superstars, 13/2/93) - Papa Shango defeated Tito Santana; via pinfall with the Shoulderbreaker. (Superstars, 13/2/93) After the match, Gorilla Monsoon revealed that the WWF Board of Directors are not convinced and have not received confirmation from any doctor or medical establishment regarding Martel's injury, and have ordered him to defend the title again tomorrow night on Monday Night RAW against former World Wrestling Federation Champion Sgt. Slaughter! - Earthquake defeated Larry Ludden; via pinfall with the Earthquake Splash. 'Quake returned to TV with a message - fear the tremors! - "Mean" Gene Okerlund welcomed us to the Events Center, covering mostly Saturday Night's Main Event headlines. He hyped Bret Hart vs. Ted DiBiase for the World Wrestling Federation title, the debut of the Steiner Bros., Rick and Scott, and the recently announced Tatanka vs. the undefeated Bam Bam Bigelow match. We saw pre-taped promos from Shawn Michaels (who vowed to regain the Intercontinental Championship), Big Boss Man (hyping his match with the Narcissist on Monday Night RAW), and the Nasty Boys (who want a shot at the Legion of Doom's WWF Tag Team titles at WrestleMania IX). Also featured promotion for RAW tomorrow night including Boss Man/Narcissist, the Legion of Doom and Hulk Hogan. Okerlund also introduced a sneak-peak at Hasbro's WWF action figure line Series 5, including Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Sid Justice, Irwin R. Schyster and more! - An ICOPRO commercial aired featuring Bret Hart. - Agent Dean defeated Mike Starr; via pinfall with the Silencer Powerbomb. - A special report aired on The Undertaker and his road to challenging the WWF Champion at WrestleMania IX. (Monday Night RAW, 8/2/93) - The Undertaker (with Paul Bearer) defeated Jim Gorman; via pinfall with the Tombstone Piledriver. (Superstars, 13/2/93) - We saw an insert promo from Razor Ramon, where he talked about his open challenge for WrestleMania IX. The Bad Guy reiterated his stance that it is open to anyone who wants to be embarrassed by him, because in Vegas, there is no 50/50, there is no gamble, it's a straight-out loss to Razor. - Repo Man defeated Tatanka; via pinfall following interference from Doink the Clown. Tatanka climbed the turnbuckle ready to nail Repo Man with the Tomahawk Chop. Little did he realise that Doink had snuck down the ringside and greased the middle rope, causing Tatanka to slip as he jumped towards his opponent. The impact of the Tatanka's head hitting the mat was enough to knock him out, allowing an easy win for the Repo Man. - The show concluded with Doink rolling around ringside in fits of laughter at what he'd done to Tatanka.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Saturday 13th February 1993...Alright, I was going to save this for when you posted Monday Night RAW, but seeing as you haven't had a reply, I'm going to issue it here. Nice use of the replays, with Owen Hart getting a monster victory against Mr Perfect to get him over with the fans quite a bit. Perfect then firing Bobby Heenan was cool, with perfect (no pun intended) inclusion from Lex Luger. I always imagined that Luger and Perfect would have great matches; everyone who does a diary around this time period seems to go for this feud (Bob did with WWF 1993, and nWoWolfpack (where did he go?) with WWF 1994). I look forward to it, especially following that interview with Lex Luger and Bobby Heenan. I do hope that you hold off on this match until WrestleMania IX though. On RAW, I could see Luger putting the Big Boss Man out of action to establish him as a dangerous force in the World Wrestling Federation. Jeff Jarrett being managed by Jim Cornette? I love it, very original. Saturday Night's Main Event sounds solid, I'm looking forward to it. Not a big fan of Bret Hart defending the WWF Championship one more time before WrestleMania though, at least not at this stage on the Road to WrestleMania. Wow, Rick Martel got injured? Hahah, nice spike against his former Strike Force partner, though I am surprised to see Papa Shango still being included. Good win against Tito Santana; I saw their match from SummerSlam 1992 last week, actually. Quite good, surprisingly. Kamala and Kim Chee in tag team action? Nice. Good introductory promo for the Steiner Brothers; and another decent use of replay from WWF President, Ted Dibiase. I guess it makes sense that he's challenging Bret to a title match at Saturday Night's Main Event, then, even if it's very likely that he's going to lose anyway. Bret "The Hitman" Hart defying the odds once again, what a fighting champion~! #mcmahonisms. The Undertaker with the main event win was nice, reminding us who gets to face the WWF Champion at WrestleMania. Decent episode.
WWF Wrestling Challenge: Sunday 14th February 1993...I'll be damned if we don't see a Valentine's Day segment included on this episode. Mainly replays, very realistic and keeping the uninformed sections of the World Wrestling Federation audience up to date. Earthquake had a good return with the victory, nice way to re-introduce him. The detail you put into these advertisements are great, loved the WWF Hasbro line anecdote. Agent Dean with the win was nice this early on in his career in the WWF. Razor Ramon's open challenge sounds pretty intriguing, but he's got over a month and a half to kill; I wonder what he'll do in the mean time. And lastly, the Repo Man beating Tatanka!? I'm assuming you killed Tatanka's undefeated streak then. Doink the Clown's interference had to have set up a future match between the two, presumably at WrestleMania IX. Realistic! Another batch of shows, Chazmeister.

WWF Monday Night RAW - 15 February 1993 @ New York City, NY | Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Rowdy Roddy Piper introduced us to tonight's show live from New York City. Tonight, Bam Bam Bigelow in action! Sgt. Slaughter challenges Intercontinental Champion Rick "The Model" Martel! The Narcissist squares off with the Big Boss Man! And Hulk Hogan will make an appearance! ---- -A pre-taped promo aired featuring Mr. Perfect, sporting a black-eye courtesy of The Narcissist - "Heenan, you told me last week that I'd made the biggest mistake of my life. Well, do you see this Heenan? This is YOUR biggest mistake, and your last. Bring your goon I'll see you this week on Superstars. You won't want to miss it." - WWF Tag Team Champions The Legion of Doom defeated Chris Katowski and Jeff Palls; via pinfall with the Doomsday Device. Featured a replay of the Nasty Boys' taped promo, stating their desire to challenge Hawk and Animal for their belts. (Wrestling Challenge, 14/2/93) - An announcement was made on the video wall - WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart will be in action! - A replay airs of Intercontinental Champion Rick Martel pulling out of scheduled title defence against Tito Santana last week due to an apparent sudden injury. Unconvinced, the WWF Board of Directors ordered him to put the belt on the line against Sgt. Slaughter tonight! - Sgt. Slaughter waited for the champion in the ring when Vince McMahon suddenly announced they are receiving an urgent call! It turned out to be Rick Martel, saying he is stuck in Montreal as his flight has been delayed severely. Therefore, he wouldn't be able to defend his belt. However, he'd lined up a replacement.. - Repo Man defeated Sgt. Slaughter; via count-out following a running knee to the face. - An ICOPRO commercial aired featuring the World Wrestling Federation's resident Hawaiian Powerhouse, Crush, training for his return to the ring. - A promotional package aired featuring two cowboys riding across the desert. The introduced themselves as Billy and Bart Gunn - the Smoking Gunns. And soon, they'll be riding the sunset straight into the World Wrestling Federation! - Bam Bam Bigelow (with Jimmy Hart) defeated Glen Ruth; via pinfall with a Diving Headbutt from the top rope. - Up next, Hulk Hogan! - A video package aired detailing Hulk Hogan's return to the World Wrestling Federation at Survivor Series, reforming the Mega Powers to defeat Sid Justice and Yokozuna at the Royal Rumble, and the problems faced with the duo since. - There were two stools set up in the ring, Vince McMahon occupying one of them. McMahon introduced Hulk Hogan, to a massive reception from the New York crowd. McMahon questioned Hogan on how this time last year he said he was facing retirement, but here we are now with Hulkamania still running wild and taking the world by storm. Why the sudden change of heart? Hogan said he came back at the request of the Macho Man to help defend the WWF and the USA from parasites, the likes of Yokozuna and Sid Justice. Hogan said he will not stand for anyone disrespecting these United States or his Hulkamaniacs, and that's what Mr. Fuji has done. He's brought the destruction, he's brought the mighty force of the mammoth Yokozuna and he's unleashed that deadly force upon everyone in America. Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji hit the ring. Following their entrance, Mr. Fuji explained how for months, he wanted his Yokozuna to destroy everything he despises about America. He eliminated Hacksaw Jim Duggan, but it's Hulk Hogan who is the true embodiment of the USA. Fuji issued a challenge to Hogan prove himself right here, right now to SLAM his Yokozuna! After pandering to the crowd a little, Hogan is convinced to accept. Hogan tried to slam the giant 500lbs monster, even managing to lift him slightly of the ground. Fuji whacked Hogan with a Japanese flag, yet again sneak-attacking him from behind. Despite Yoko getting involved Hogan managed to fight them off, sending Yoko retreating through the second rope with massive right-hand blows to the head. Hogan issued a "real" challenge, one-on-one at WrestleMania IX, Yokozuna vs. Hulk Hogan! Mr. Fuji said his Yokozuna will end Hulkamania once-and-for-all in Las Vegas. - A screencap appeared urging fans to call the WWF Hotline, for exclusive headlines and inside news on all your favourite WWF stars. Call now and you can hear the odds-on favourites to accept Razor Ramon's WrestleMania IX challenge! - After the match, Heenan confronted Mr. Perfect in the ring, branding him such things as "washed up", "useless", "has-been", to name a few. The audience is stunned by Heenan then FIRING his client in the ring. Angered, Perfect grabbed a startled Heenan by the neck and threatened to slap him around the ring. The Brain begged for mercy and offered to take Perfect back if he let him go. Perfect made the mistake of pandering to a crowd eager to see Bobby Heenan pulverised before them. This allowed The Narcissist to hit the ring and club Perfect round the head. The two beat him down in the ring before leaving, Heenan telling Perfect he's made the biggest mistake of his life. (Monday Night RAW, 8/2/93) - "Mean" Gene Okerlund welcomed The Narcissist and Bobby Heenan out to the interview podium. Okerlund questions Heenan's recent behaviour towards Mr. Perfect, why he continued to mock and berate his performances. And why did The Narcissist attack him in such brutal fashion? Heenan said Mr. Perfect is a lie from head to toe, from his ugly face to his stupid white boots, to the name he parades around as. He called Perfect a goof that got what he deserved. Narcissist warned that if Mr. Perfect steps out of line again then he can expect a more severe beating that will definitely put him in the hospital and out of the WWF. Suddenly, Big Boss Man interrupted the duo, brandishing his nightstick as a reminder that he isn't to be messed with. Boss Man told Narcissist that he doesn't like what he sees, and what he sees is someone getting too big for their own boots. When they meet next week on Monday Night RAW, Boss Man will take him down a peg or too and make him face justice for the attack on Mr. Perfect. Narcissist mocked the Boss Man, telling him that he's an idiot dressed like a cop, "another lie", and that on Monday, he will end up like Mr. Perfect - a broken mess in the middle of the ring. (Superstars, 13/2/93) - The Narcissist (with Bobby Heenan) defeated Big Boss Man; via pinfall with a Flying Forearm. Narcissist took out Boss Man after Heenan provided the distraction. - Monday Night RAW concluded with McMahon, Savage and Piper discussing tonight's action, notably the challenge laid down by Hulk Hogan for Yokozuna to face him at WrestleMania, a challenge accepted by Mr. Fuji. They then went over the upcoming edition of Superstars - Unfortunately, Tatanka has been pulled from the show following a head injury caused by Doink last week. As announced tonight, you will see WWF Champion Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect will be there, and you will see the The Nasty Boys in action! | WWF Superstars - 20 February 1993 @ Landover, MD | Results to be updated | WWF Wrestling Challenge - 21 February 1993 @ Worcester, MA | Results to be updated |

I like that Rick Martel is ducking challenges with different excuses every time. That just seems amusing to me. I support the idea of Hogan taking on Yokozuna at WrestleMania IX. It's a big match to add to the biggest show of the year. An alright main event with Luger taking on Bossman. It seems like you use a lot of the same segments from the syndies over the weekend. I feel like RAW should feature more original programming at this point. Nonetheless, this diary is going along quite well and I hope this gets to Mania IX.
