Alundra Blaize defeated Heidi Lee Morgan. This match was a lot less painful to watch than you might think. Plus, there was even a smidgen of competancy in the commentary of Vince McMahon and Stan Lane (Lane went so far as to use a Japanese term (!!!!!)) Blaize wins with a half-sloppy German suplex. WWF Monday Night RAW, coming to you from the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, NY 27.12.93 (but taped 13.12) and broadcast on the USA Network. Let us take you back to last Monday. Tatanka is cleaning house on Ludvig B0rga, but suddenly he finds himself on the receiving end of Mr. Fuji's Japanese flag. Did anyone else notice that Fuji must have really missed, because the picture was edited? I mean, that closeup looks pretty fake what with the picture being all grainy and all. Anyway, the reason they show all this is because Luger's in action tonight, I guess. Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Les Quebecois, Jacques and Pierre, who provide all commentary. Well, Pierre doesn't speak English, but you get the idea. Barry Horowitz v. The Narcissist - Horowitz wastes a lot of time destroying Luger and then gets superplexed and loses. WWF 900 hotline plug. Tunney will listen, you know, so call right now and tell him you think Luger should be in the Rumble Royale. Let us take you WAAAAY back, two months, to Monday Night RAW where Marty Jannetty is taking on the "1-2-3" Kid. Johnny Polo comes out and causes all sorts of mischief, culminating in a double countout. Polo is interviewed in the locker room. He promises to pin "Marty Confetti" tonight. Johnny Polo v. Martyr Jannetty - Polo's theme, surprisingly, is that of the Quebecers. Hang on... Promos: ICOPRO (Ramon), Electronic Talking Battleship ("Yeah!"), Street Fighter 2: Special Championship Edition Sega carts Exciting mat wrestling, with Polo getting the early advantage. Jannetty comes back. After a while, Jannetty makes a swandive at Polo, who ducks and lets him fly through the ropes. Polo dives out after him, and lands. We get a closeup of Polo's tooth capping job. Jannetty comes back in with a high cross body for 2. Jannetty gets another 2 count after some more bland moves. Polo manages a kick, but Jannetty returns with a dropkick, and out goes Polo. Pierre leaves the announcers' table and helps out his manager. Jannetty dropkicks BOTH of them. Polo is back in, and Jannetty decides to become completely stupid. He goes off the ropes, and lets Pierre trip him up. Jannetty manages to KO Polo *again*, and stupidly climbs to the top. Pierre drags Polo out of the ring. Jannetty decides to jump off the top rope anyway, delivering an axehandle to Pierre. Polo is back in the ring again. Jannetty, deciding to actually try to continue this match, reenters the ring next to Polo. Polo cradles him and grabs Pierre. 1, 2, 3. For an encore, Jannetty walks over to the announcers' table and starts mouthing off to the Quebecers, not realizing that he would be the "1" in the 3 on 1 that would result. Fortunately, this doesn't happen, but referee "Blind" Joey Morella does bar Pierre from any further commentary. Oh, darn, I'm going to miss his input. The WWF: Unbelievable! Yoko Claus again. Spike Gray v. Doink - Spike falls for Dink's trick gum...do you really think he's going to pin him? Todd Pettengill with *your* RRR - It's less than four weeks away, you know. Rumble participants include: Bret Hart, Crush, Kamala, Owen Hart, Doink, Mabel, Scott Steiner, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, Randy Savage, The "1-2-3" Kid, Fatu, Samu, Rick Steiner, Bob Backlund, and Greg Valentine (Who?). Luger 900 hotline poll plugged AGAIN. Casket match for the WWF Title. Exciting IC match which we'll tell you about later. Tag Title match, the Hart Brothers vs. the Quebecers. Kiss 'n' make up interview from the Harts which no one believes. Vince and Jacques discuss the Tag Title Match. Jacques promises Hart dissension. Hype for next week's main event: Smoking Scotsmen vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & Bastion Booger. Crush v. Mike Moaldo - Crush has new, ominous theme. After the head vice/claw, we get to hear it again. Let's visit the Undertaker's workshop. Paul Bearer is a poet and we didn't even know it. Undertaker: "Ho ho ho." Bret Hart sez: Don't drink 'n' drive! Highlights of the Women's World Championship. This time we get interviews from the participants. Too bad they couldn't have shown the actual match instead. We only get REALLY quick cuts from the match. It's Kwang! It's Kwang! Which video game was he from again? Can I call him "Kato 2?" rRazor rRamon v. Derek Domino - Promos: WWF Royal Rumble carts (They're still Perfect...), Electronic Talking Battleship ("Yeah! Yeah!"), Mortal Kombat carts. Geez, I thought Christmas was over. Boy, the superplexes are out tonight. Finally someone tells us that Ramon is taking on IRS for the intercontinental title match at the Rumble Royale. Edge and pin. Next week: Scotsmen/4 B's. Dubba J in action. Yokozuna in action. Cohost Johnny Polo. Happy new year, everybody!
