From: zimmerma@ucrengr.ucr.edu (Christopher Robin Zimmerman) Newsgroups: rec.sport.pro-wrestling Subject: WWF Monday Night RAW - 13/6/94 Date: 14 Jun 1994 17:24:43 GMT Organization: University of California, Riverside (College of Engineering/Computer Science) Lines: 138 Message-ID: <2tkp4r$lnf@galaxy.ucr.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ucrengr.ucr.edu One Year Ago on RAW: Having won the WWF Title from Hulk Hogan the previous day at King of the Ring, Yokozunan is on cloud nine. Mr. Fuji has planned a special celebration, and thinks the fourth of July would be the perfect day for it. Marty Jannetty and Doink battle to a double countout. In squashes, Mr. Perfect, Owen Hart, and a pink and black wearing Jerry Lawler win. Mr. Hughes walks off with the Undertaker's urn in a diabolical plan featuring Harvey Wippleman and Giant Gonzales. And finally, Razor Ramon offers $10,000 to the Kid who pinned him over a month earlier. Finally reaching the Kid (who is in Japan), Vince gets a yes. The WWF Countdown to the Crowning, broadcast 13.6.94 on the USA Network. Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Randy Savage, from the luxurious Prime Time Studios, and sharing space with the big King of the Ring magnet board. But first, a match. Les Quebecois v. The Head Shrinkers for the WWF Tag Team Titles (Commentary Stan Lane, Ted DiBiase) God knows when and where this was taped--could've been a month ago. Jacques and Fatu start out and Fatu lands the quick head butt. Jacques wants time out and tags in Pierre. Pierre gets a 2 count from nowhere, and then land a HUGE clothesline. Fatu recovers, and soon Jacques has to tag back in. Jacques ducks, and then gloats about how smart he is, giving the Samoan enough time to apply a thrust kick. Pierre comes in and is slammed. Let's take an ad break. When we come back, Jacques has Samu in a Camel Clutch. He jumps up to do the sit on the man move, but lands his groin on a knee. Samu tags out, but of course referee "Blind" Joey Morella misses it. While Fatu protests and distracts him further, the Quebecers do the double team. Pierre only manages a 2 count, however. Tag to Jacques, who drops Pierre on Samu. Another 2 count. Tag. Figuring this would be a good time to win, they go for the Tower...and miss. Samu delivers a one legged dropkick to each Quebecers, which apparently is enough to knock Jacques out of the ring. Tag to Fatu. Double face slam. You jump over my shoulders move. 1, 2, 3. Yes, it was that fast. Fortunately, they dim the lights so you don't have to see how terrible Afa's bonus suplex of Johnny Polo is. Man, the first match was so much better. Vince promises that Polo, who bet his goatee on yesterday's "All-American" will in fact do the shaving NEXT Sunday, on the live "All-American." Yokozuna, Crush, Fuji, Cornette interview. Congratulations, Head Shrinkers, now prepare to lose. KotR Hotline plug. The Kunze bombardment is in full effect, woo. The WWF: Unbelievable! I *am* the WWF Generation, you know. Lord Alfred Hayes narrates the Hall of Fame induction piece. Joe and I were too busy playing "Look! !" for me to write anything down, but I thought the piece was cool. The Macho Man picks Diesel in the main event at KotR, but then he doesn't know who that secret family member is either. Right. Let us take you back two weeks, to the King's Court. Bret Hart is the guest, and so are Shawn Michaels and Diesel, who do a number on the Champ. Interview with the Hitman. Some male relative of his will accompany him to the big match. Let us take you back to the first four KotR Qualifiers, and show you how these people made it. IRS uses the ropes to pin Scott Steiner. Mabel pins Pierre, in one of the few nonscrewjob endings. Razor Ramon uses the Razor's Edge to get past Kwang in the other nonscrewjob ending. And Bam Bam Bigelow pins Spark[e]y Plugg with a little help from Luna Tunes. Promos: ICOPRO (Hart), Nerf Jarts, Street Fighter 2: Special Championship Edition Sega carts Let us take you back to the last four KotR Qualifiers, and show you how these people made it. Jeff Jarrett gets an assist from Crush and Lex Luger gets counted out. The 1-2-3 Kid gets an unexpected assist from Kwang and pins Adam Bomb. Owen Hart gets an assist from Jeff Jarrett in pinning Doink. And, Tatanka gets an assist from Lex Luger, who knocks out Crush so he can pin him. Confused? You won't be, after this episode of Soap! I guess that's the cheater's bracker. Here are Randy Savage's picks, in case you were interested in what WON'T happen: IRS Savage at least recognized that Mabel IRS he changed his mind a bit from the last time he made his picks. Ramon Bigelow Bigelow What is it with all these heels? Bigelow First he picks Diesel, and then Bigelow every heel except Owen. I guess the Kid this is the final proof that the Jarrett Jarrett Jarrett Rocket is going to take the whole thing. Owen Hart Tatanka Tatanka Piper vs. Lawler highlighted in a PPV ad. Promos: Champions World Class Soccer carts, Remington Triple Foil Shaver, Mortal Kombat carts Lets us take you back to the King's Court, last week. "Rowdy Roddy Piper" is the guest. Hospital for Sick Children foundation address. Raymond Rougeau present WWF President Jack Tunney, who introduces all eight participants. Of course, all the faces group together and all the heels group together. Don't know why, any two of those could match up in the tourney. That's the show. I'm off to Riverside (I can't BELIVE they couldn't schedule Commencement around King of the Ring), but I will give you my picks: IRS Mabel Mabel Ramon Bigelow Bigelow Bigelow Owen Hart the Kid Jarrett the Kid Owen Hart Owen Owen Tatanka Owen, just like his brother, defeats the same finals opponent, Bam Bam Bigelow. These picks are probably more of a dream than what will really happen, but I think Owen is a safe pick. No one seems to have picked Bigelow to make the finals again, though. The commentators won't let us forget that Bigelow made the finals last year though, so I'm not really going THAT much out on a limb... I'm starting to get excited! Royal Rumble and WMX left me feeling fantastic, and I'm starting to think that King of the Ring just might be able to work the same magic on me. -- / Christopher Robin Zimmerman / kzim@koko.csustan.edu / zimmerma@corsa.ucr.edu /
