 5th April 1993 The show opens up with still images from Wrestlemania IX as Vince McMahon reviews the show with throat burning enthusiasm. We then start the show with the usual Monday Night Raw theme.
MATCH 1: Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Virgil
This one is pretty straight forward for Bigelow, he’s still angry over losing to The Undertaker last night at Wrestlemania. Bigelow uses numerous suplexes and hard slams before finishing off Virgil with the diving headbutt in 3:52.
Rating: C+
We see stills from the Steiner Brothers tag team title win at Wrestlemania before Vince McMahon hypes up the Steiner Brothers in action in the main event tonight against The Beverley Brothers in non title action.
MATCH 2: Bob Backlund vs. Rich Myers
Bob Backlund still riding high from his victory over Jerry Lawler last night at Wrestlemania uses his technical prowess to get a straight forward win over Rich Myers via the cross face chicken wing in 03:58.
Rating: D
Vince McMahon introduces ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage to the crowd. Vince asks him on commentary how he’s feeling after last night’s loss to Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart. Macho says he lost to the better man on the night but Macho Man ain’t done yet and believes he still has one more run in him. Suddenly, Jerry Lawler’s music hits for his next match....Lawler is on the mic berating the New York crowd and tells them Backlund cheated against him at Wrestlemania. Lawler then notices Savage and berates him too calling him a loser and a has been and tells Savage to watch this upcoming match to see what a winner looks like! Savage looks irritated by Lawler but McMahon tells Savage to ignore him.
MATCH 3: Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler vs. Jim Brunzell
Jerry Lawler fought a returning Jim Brunzell in which was a back and forth match. Both men getting in some offense, Brunzell looking good hitting Lawler with drop kicks and a couple of hip tosses. Lawler turned the tide after a thumb to the eye resulting in Lawler hitting his patented piledriver for the win in 06:18.
Rating: C+
Lawler climbs out of the ring and talks trash to the ‘Macho Man’! McMahon tries to calm things down as Savage gets to his feet. Savage restrains himself on this occasion and Vince tells Lawler to leave the area.
McMahon hypes up next week’s Raw telling us that Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels will be in action and we will hear from the number one contender for the WWF Championship, Yokozuna with Mr Fuji of course!
MATCH 4: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Beverley Brothers (non title match)
Time for the main event! A very nice back and forth tag match here with The Beverley’s trying to isolate Rick Steiner after Rick starts out in control with numerous suplexes and slams. Beverley’s did all they could but The Steiners over powered them and eventually picked up the win with the assisted Bulldog from the top turnbuckle by Rick Steiner in 15:23.
Rating: B+

I am always a sucker for a couple of diaries I've seen that still use Randy Savage in a prominent position at any point from 1993 onward.

 10th April 1993Superstars opens up with Gorilla Monsoon and Jim Ross calling the action. The two talk a bit about Wrestlemania IX before the first match is under way!MATCH 1: ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan vs. The Brooklyn BrawlerThis one is a decent showing for Jim Duggan. Duggan uses his power to gain the advantage before scoring a three count after the 3 Point Stance! Duggan swings his 2x4 after the match and The Brawler scampers away. Rating: DWe go to pre recorded comments with WWF Champion Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart, talking about his win over Randy Savage at Wrestlemania and his upcoming title defence at the King of the Ring against the undefeated Yokozuna. Bret tells us that he is proud to wear the WWF Championship and will take on all comers. He said he would be lying if he said he wasn’t slightly unnerved by Yokozuna’s size and strength but Bret knows that he is more technically sound and believes he has what it takes to hand Yokozuna his first defeat.MATCH 2: ‘The Narcissist’ Lex Luger vs. Barry HorowitzLuger needs a victory after his loss against Razor Ramon at Wrestlemania. Luger dominates Horowitz showing aggression and gets the easy three count after a forearm which knocks Horowitz unconscious. Rating: CAfter the match, Luger states that at Wrestlemania he was cheap shotted by Ramon and it was typical of Ramon to attack a man from behind. Luger says he’s putting all that behind him and concentrating on winning the inaugural King of the Ring tournament in June. We go to pre recorded comments from Tatanka, talking about his Wrestlemania experience. Tatanka says with the help of his ancestors he regained his sacred eagle feathers but he is still feeling the effects of Doink’s attack after the match. Tatanka states he wishes to keep his undefeated streak going in time for the King of the Ring and he wants to become the Native King of the World Wrestling Federation.MATCH 3: The Headshrinkers w/Afa vs. Glen Ruth and Barry HardyThe Headshrinkers dominate the match with their hard hitting offense. They hit a double facebuster on Ruth, followed by the splash from the top by Fatu for the victory. Rating: C-We go to pre recorded comments from The Undertaker and Paul Bearer regarding Taker’s win over Bam Bam Bigelow at Wrestlemania. Bearer starts off “Ohhh my Undertaker made Bam Bam meet his maker at Wrestlemania.....you cannot kill what is already dead Bigelow ohhh noooooo” Undertaker then speaks “Bigelow.....at Wrestlemania you tried to keep me down....but I cannot feel pain. After facing you....I’m now stronger than I’ve ever been. Its time for the World Wrestling Federation to prepare for darker days and it’s time to assert my dominance...you will all rest......in.........peace..”
Jim Ross talks about the special encore presentation of Wrestlemania IX which will air on Monday night, April 12th.MATCH 4: Kamala vs. Duane GillKamala scores an easy win after his standing splash. Rating: DWe have pre-recorded comments from Mr Perfect regarding his Wrestlemania loss to Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship. Perfect states that the issue between himself and Shawn Michaels is not over due to the manner in which Michaels retained the title by holding the tights. Perfect states that he will be at Raw to address Michaels face to face!
Next we go to Sean Mooney for the Wrestlemania report sponsored by ICO PRO. Sean Mooney talks about the match between Hulk Hogan and Yokozuna, showing a brief history behind it and shows stills from the Wrestlemania match itself while giving a brief review of the match. MATCH 5: Mr. Hughes vs. JD StrykerThe debut of Mr. Hughes on WWF television! Mr Hughes uses his size and strength to gain control of the match. Hughes delivers numerous body slams and short arm clotheslines. Hughes hits a nice back breaker but lifts his opponents head before the three count can be made. Hughes continues his offense and hits a side walk slam to eventually finish off Stryker. Rating: C (good showcase for Mr Hughes) Gorilla Monsoon signs Superstars off talking about the encore presentation of Wrestlemania as well as telling fans to tune in to Monday Night Raw where Shawn Michaels will be in action plus comments from Mr Fuji and Yokozuna regarding their upcoming King of the Ring WWF Championship match against Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart! |
