From: zimmerma@corsa.ucr.edu (Christopher Robin Zimmerman) Newsgroups: rec.sport.pro-wrestling Subject: WWF Monday Night RAW - 27/6/94 Date: 28 Jun 1994 19:52:59 GMT Organization: UC Riverside, Dept. of Computer Science Lines: 122 Message-ID: <2upv2r$hmp@galaxy.ucr.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: corsa.ucr.edu All-American Match of the Week: Kwang pinned Jim Powers in the first *exclusive* match I've seen in quite a while. Powers looks illegal as ever if not more so. "Hey, Powers, welcome back to the WWF! You'll be jobbing for Kawng." "Oh, OK." One Year Ago on RAW: With a little distraction from Diesel, Shawn Michaels pins Kamala even though Kamala had Michaels down, albeit on his stomach. The Smoking Gunns win a squash, as does Adam Bomb, whose finisher is now called the Atom Smasher. In an interview, Ted DiBiase lays it on after last week's robbing of Razor Ramon by the 1-2-3 Kid, starting Ramon's face turn. And, Crush pins Bastion Booger, making him the best hope to slam Yokozuna at the upcoming Stars & Stripes Challenge. WWF Monday Night RAW, coming to you from the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York 27.6.94 (but taped 20.6.94) and broadcast on the USA Network. Let us take you back to last week, where on the King's Court, Duke the Dumpster Droese is the victim of...a freeze frame. We can't show you the pictures, they're just too horrible. For those of you who don't remember, Jerry Lawler smashes the Dumpster's garbage can over his head repeatedly. Interview from the Dumpster. Yawn. Interview from the King. It turns out that the WWF officials have ordered him to apologise, and after a lot of hemming and hawing, he does. They have REALLY played up this incident. The WWF wants to make it clear that you will *never* see this type of incident in the World Wrestling Federation again (using foreign objects is not indicative of quality family entertainment). Got it? I'm sure they'll press this again next week, and the week after, and the week after... Your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon and Randy Savage. If you're catching the Spanish simulcast (and if anyone knows how to do that, let me know please!) your hosts are Ed Trucco and Carlos Cabrerra. As always, this telecast is close captioned for those of you who can't stand listening to Monsoon. Mabel v. Bam Bam Bigelow - Does Oscar's white suit remind you of somebody else? Lockup, and Mabel wins the power contest. Bam Bam with a quick punch, dropkick and general pounding until Mabel goes down. Bam Bam with a snapmare, and a boot to the head. Series of rights, but Mabel is getting up. He returns the favour with a shot. Bigelow whips Mabel into the corner, but Mabel puts his boot up and Bigelow runs into it. Legdrop by Mabel. Luna Tunes gets up on the apron, so Mabel ignores getting the pin and walks over to her. Mabel wises up and goes back, but misses a dropped elbow. Bigelow whips Mabel into the ropes, where he coincidentally hits Luna, who takes quite a tumble. Mabel hits a clothesline, an elbow, and a slam. Oscar, meanwhile, has gone over to check on Luna (he has a heart of gold, that boy). Bigelow manages a headbutt, and finally notices that Oscar is messing around with his main squeeze. He goes out and takes him out with a mighty shove. Distracted, Bigelow doesn't notice Mabel splashing him from the ring to the outside, and to make it worse, Bigelow lands on Luna instead of the mat. The two behemoths brawl until the count of nine, then Mabel goes back in. Bigelow tries to get in and out to break the count and help Luna, except he doesn't quite get in enough and the ref hits 10. Mabel wins by countout. Oscar and Mabel don't stick around (wisely), and Bigelow makes various protests and sundry threats at the referee. Who should enter the ring but Ted DiBiase... Let us take you back two weeks to WWF Superstars, as the Multimillion Dollar Man presents the Undertaker. Let us take you back one week later, where the Undertaker wrestles. DiBiase does a Paul Bearer postmatch, using money instead of an urn. King of the Ring encore ad. It's Tuesday at 8pm. IRS v. Rich Myers - The only interesting thing about this match is that Irwin uses a chicken wing on the way to the Penalty. The King's Court with Jim Neidhart - Now we know why Bret Hart got a new arrangment for his theme music...it's so Neidhart can use the OLD one. We find out that it was the Anvil who was carrying the Hart Foundation, and further that the Hitman would call up Neidhart for advice while he was holding the belts. Bret's a real ingrate, so Neidhart saved his belt...so Owen could take it from him. Let's bring out the King of Harts, who is still wearing the robe, crown, and carrying the sceptre, and has some new tights. Owen repeats Neidhart's spiel, but ranting and raving a lot more. The Head Shrinkers v. The Executioners - Promos: ICOPRO (Ramon), Nerf Jarts, SF2: SCE carts Tickets for SummerSlam are selling like hotcakes! This is a typical Head Shrinker match (formula No. 1). We go backstage to see DiBiase talking money with Bigelow and Luna. Seeing the camera, Tes sics Virgil II, and Nikolai is only too happy to demolish the cameraman. Hype for next week's big match: Dubb J vs. Tatanka. Also an Undertaker match. Kwang v. Mike Moraldo - Kwang's a member of that New Generation, you know. The old. The new. Welcome to the WWF's New Generation. The WWF is unbelievable! Lex Luger v. David Somethinorother - Promos: Spiderman & The X-Men carts, Super Soaker XP 150, Champions World Class Soccer carts Ted DiBiase looks on from the curtain with a smile. Luger wins with the Rack. King of the Ring encore ad, one more time. From the locker room, Ted DiBiase announces that he has purchased the services of Bam Bam Bigelow (this just looks like a face turn setup to me...but we'll know in about six months), and that Lex Luger is next. [Editorial] Number of 900 line ads: ZERO. It's a bombardment, I tell ya! The WWF is UNRELENTING in their use of the 900 line! We can forgive Mean Gene because he's NOT AS BAD AS THE WWF!!!!! Right, Herb? [Editorial over] See you next week! -- / Christopher Robin Zimmerman / kzim@koko.csustan.edu / zimmerma@corsa.ucr.edu /
