VOICE OVER: Tonight, on Monday Night Raw!!!!!! The #1 contender to the WWF Championship “The Total Package” Lex Luger battles Crush as we continue down the road to Summerslam!!!

Camera fades onto Crush!!!

Crush: "Lex Luger, brah, you call yourself the 'Total Package,' and you've got the arrogance to match it. But let me tell you something, bruddah, you may be the Total Package, you may be the #1 contender but tonight you gonna get CRUSHED!!!!!!"

Camera fades to Lex Luger.

Lex Luger: "Well, well, well, tonight is just another steppingstone on my path to Summerslam and the WWF Championship. "Crush, you're just the unfortunate soul who has to face me tonight, you think you can step in the ring with ME? I'm the 'Total Package,' the man with the looks, the physique, and the skill to be the future of the WWF!!!! And Bret Hart, I hope you take me up on my offer and you are sitting righ at ringside tonight. I hope you're watching closely because I'm sending a message to you. At SummerSlam, you're stepping into the ring with the 'Total Package,' and you'll find out, just like Crush will tonight, why they call me that.”

Gorilla Monsoon and “Macho Man” Randy Savage welcomes everyone to the USA Network and to Monday Night Raw!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: “Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Night Raw!!!!! I’m Gorilla Monsoon alongside the two time WWF Champion “Macho Man” Randy Savage!!!! Macho Man, they are hanging from the rafters here in the Manhattan Center!!!"

Randy Savage: "It’s Monday Night Raw and anything can happen, yeah!!!"

Gorilla Monsoon: "We are slam packed and we don’t have time to waste!!! Let’s go to the ring for our first match!!!"

Gorilla Monsoon: “Here comes the Intercontiental Champion Shawn Michaels and his bodyguard, the almost 7 foot tall Diesel!!!!”

Randy Savage: “Diesel is one big dude Monsoon, but you know what they say, they bigger they are the harder they fall!!”

Gorilla Monsoon: “And if anyone can knock him down it’s the Bad Guy, Razor Ramon!!!!!”

Randy Savage: “Dig it, Razor Ramon and Maarty Jannetty are ready to take it to Diesel and the Heartbreak Kid right here on Monday Night RAW!!!”

The match begins with Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels in the ring ,the former tag team partners have been at war since splitting and have become fierce rivals. They start off lightning fast as they trade holds, reversals and pin attempts!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "You can feel the intensity in the air, Randy. These two have a long history, and they have no love lost for each other!!!
Randy Savage: "That's right, Gorilla. You can cut the HATRED with a knife."

The battle continues in the ring, with frequent tags between both teams. Razor Ramon and Diesel also have their moments, displaying their respective strengths. Their brawl with each other spills to ringside, Diesel tries to run Ramon’s head into the ring-post but Ramon slips off his shoulder and shoves Diesel into the ring-post!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Razor Ramon and Diesel, two big men throwing it all at each other in there!”


Randy Savage: “It’s a total brawl, dig it!!!!"

The match continues and Marty Jannetty gets caught in the ring. Michaels and Diesel tag in and out and keep the pressure on Jannetty. Somehow Jannetty keeps finding ways to kick out. Chaos ensues at ringside. Shawn Michaels tries to hit Marty Jannetty with Sweet Chin Music, but Marty ducks, and Michaels accidentally connects with Diesel! Diesel falls out of the ring!!!! This allows Marty to dive to the corner to make the tag!!! Razor comes in and unloads on Shawn!!! The two men go back and forth!!! Shawn misses a Flying Forearm!!!! This sets up Razor Ramon to execute the Razor's Edge on Michaels!!!!


Gorilla Monsoon: "Razor Ramon hits the Razor's Edge! This could be it!"


The referee counts to three!!! Diesel tries to break it up but is too late!!! Razor Ramon and Marty Jannetty pick up the victory here on Monday Night Raw!!!!!!

WINNERS: MARTY JANNETTY & RAZOR RAMON

Gorilla Monsoon: "Razor Ramon has pinned the Intercontinental Champion here on Monday Night Raw!!!!!!”

Randy Savage: "That's a huge win for the Bad Guy, Gorilla!!!! And it sends a message to the Heartbreak Kid."

Inside the ring, Razor Ramon and Marty Jannetty celebrate their hard-fought victory as Shawn Michaels throws an absolute fit at ringside!!! HBK and Diesel are arguing in the aisle!!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "It looks like there is trouble in paradise with Shawn Michaels and Diesel!!!!!!”

Randy Savage: "Things don’t look too good!!! And Michaels has to know that Razor Ramon winning here tonight is gonna put Razor right at the front of the line for a shot at his title!!!!!”

Razor Ramon signals for a microphone!!!!


Razor Ramon: “HEY YO!!!! Boy Toy!!! You seem kinda mad chico!!!! You wanna piece of me? You want some payback??? Tell you what chico, how about Da Boy Toy goes one on one wit Da Bad Guy at Summerslam??? You bring dat title, and I’ll bring THE RAZOR EDGE!!!”

Shawn is shaking his head and yelling no as Razor’s music hits!!!

Randy Savage: “The Bad Guy just laid out a challenge that makes the Macho Man proud by calling his shot!!!!! If he gets Shawn Michaels in the ring at Summerslam he is gonna walk out with more gold around his waist and his neck, DIG IT!!!!”

Gorilla Monsoon: “You may be right about that!!! We’ll be ring back with THE UNDERTAKER!!!!!”


COMMERCIAL BREAK


Gorilla Monsoon: “Last week here on Monday Night Raw, The Undertaker and Bam Bam Bigelow fought to a double disqualification as Monday Night Raw went off the air but the camera’s kept rolling and you aren’t going to believe what happened!!”

MONDAY NIGHT RAW 8/4/93 VTR: The Undertaker and Bam Bam Bigelow exchange brutal blows, fists flying as they battle near the announce table, Taker slams Bigelow’s head into the table!!! Luna jumps on Taker’s back!!!!!! Taker gets Luna off his back but Bigelow has grabbed a Steel Chair!!!!
Bam Bam Bigelow swings the steel chair and connects with The Undertaker, Undertaker staggers around until Bigelow smashes the chair across his head again sending him crashing to the floor!!!!! Bigelow throws the chair away as referees and officials try to go to Undertaker's aid! Bigelow and Luna head to the back as Paul Bearer raises the urn!!!! It takes a couple moments until Undertaker sits up!!!!! Undertaker staggers to his feet and staggers to the locker room!!!!!!! END VTR

Joey Styles is standing in the middle of the ring!!!

The eerie blue lights and smoke fill the Manhattan Center as the Undertaker's chilling theme music plays. The crowd erupts in cheers as the Deadman makes his way to the ring, led by Paul Bearer.

Joey Styles: “Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the Phenom himself, the Undertaker, and his manager, Paul Bearer. Undertaker, last week after Raw went off the air, you were brutally attacked by Bam Bam Bigelow!! And now the two of you will face off at Summerslam!!!!”

The Undertaker: “Bam Bam Bigelow, you may have thought you could extinguish the flames of the Undertaker, but you only stoked the fires of my wrath. At SummerSlam, the reaper of souls and the Beast from the East will clash in a battle that will make hell itself tremble. Bigelow, your fate is sealed. And Summerslam in the Boston Garden. You. Will……… rest in peace.”

Paul Bearer: “Ooooooooooooh, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss! Bam Bam Bigelow, you've made a grave mistake. The Undertaker will make you pay for your sins, and the urn will absorb your very soul!”

Joey Styles: “Strong words from the Undertaker and Paul Bearer as they prepare to face Bam Bam Bigelow at SummerSlam. Fans, you aren’t going to want to miss this one!!!”

PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS PAID BY THE FOLLOWING:

The masked man from Parts Unknown, Kimchee is climbing into the ring!!!!


Gorilla Monsoon: "We've got a classic encounter coming up as the Native American Tatanka is set to face Kimchee."

Randy Savage: "Ooh yeah, Gorilla! I talked to Tatanka before the show and he is rededicating himself, yeah, to winning a title here in the WWF. Tatanka's got the spirits of his ancestors behind him, and he's always ready for a fight!"

The match begins with Tatanka breaking into a war dance as the bell rings! Kimchee throws everything he has at the Native American Warrior but Tatanka brushes it off and begins to unload on Kimchee!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Tatanka is really fired up here on Monday Night Raw!!! The fans are hanging from the rafters and they are going bananas for Tatanka!!!

Randy Savage: "He's got the momentum on his side!!!!!!!."

Tatanka takes Kimchee apart, the masked man tries to put up a fight but he doesn’t have what it takes!!! Tatanka hits the End of the Trail and gets the three count and the win here on Monday Night Raw!!!!

WINNER: TATANKA

Gorilla Monsoon: "Tatanka with a convincing win here tonight!"

Randy Savage: "Tatanka is on a roll!"

Gorilla Monsoon: “We’ll see if he can keep that roll going, we've just received word that next week on Raw, Tatanka will be facing none other than the imposing Adam Bomb!"

Randy Savage: "Ooh yeah, Gorilla! Tatanka against Adam Bomb, that's gonna be an explosive showdown! And don’t forget Adam Bomb and Doink seem to have some unfinished business between them, so who knows if the Clown is gonna show up as well!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Anything can happen here in the WWF !!!!! Tatanka has his work cut out for him against Adam Bomb, but he's always up for a fight."

Randy Savage: "You can bet Tatanka's gonna give it everything he's got, Gorilla!"


COMMERCIAL BREAK 2

VTR: It’s night as the camera shows the Hollywood sign from outside a window. A woman lights up a cigar and takes a draw off it.

The blonde woman grabs a glass and walks it over to a man with his back to the camera. He takes the glass and begins to speak.

Man with raspy voice: “I've walked the red carpets and now I’m here in the WWF, and I'm here to do what I do best – take over! You people might think you know what a superstar is, but let me tell you, I redefine the word. I'm the only true Superstar to ever step into the WWF, wait till ya get a load of me!!!! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

The camera fades to a black where the words THE HOLLYWOOD BLONDE IS COMING TO SUMMERSLAM in gold flash across the screen!!! END VTR

Randy Savage and Gorilla Monsoon are seated at the commentary table!

Gorilla Monsoon: "I’m not sure who the Hollywood Blonde is Macho Man, but he sure has a very high opnion of himself!!!

Randy Savage: “He is going to find out really quickly that things are very different in the World Wrestling Federation, and he might not be as bad as he thinks he is!!!”

Gorilla Monsoon: “I guess we will all find out at Summerslam!!! Also at Summerslam we have been informed that as a result of what happened earlier this evening, Razor Ramon will challenge the Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels for the title!!!!!! I understand a very unhappy Shawn Michaels is standing by!!!!

Shawn Michaels stands backstage looking irate holding the Intercontinental Championship belt over his shoulder!

Shawn Michaels: "Let's make something crystal clear, Monsoon. Yours truly, the 'Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels, has been SCREWED by the CROOKED officials of the WWF into defending the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam, against none other than Razor Ramon. Now, I know the WWF needs me on all their Pay Per Views because you all love to watch me perform, and why wouldn't you? I'm the Showstopper, the Heartbreak Kid.. But being forced to put my title on the line against someone like Razor Ramon? Well, it's nothing short of an injustice."

"But here's the kicker, Ramon wants a piece of me?? Well next week, right here on Raw, my good buddy, Big Daddy Cool Diesel, he wants a piece of The Bad Guy!!! And Diesel is going to make up for what happened tonight and will have the pleasure of taking Razor Ramon apart, piece by piece. And when Big Daddy Cool gets through with that grease ball the only thing that's going to be left of him is an oil stain and a broken toothpick in the middle of the ring!!!!!!”

Shawn walks off the screen!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: “Batten down the hatches!!!! Diesel vs. Razor Ramon right here on Monday Night Raw, NEXT WEEK!!!!”

Randy Savage: “Not to give Michaels any credit, but getting Diesel to take on Razor Ramon before Summerslam is a pretty smart move. Cause even if Ramon wins the match he is gonna pay a price and Shawn Michaels is gonna capitalize at Summerslam. “

Gorilla Monsoon: “No matter what, Summerslam is going to be a happening!!!! We still got more here on Monday Night Raw as the team that will face the Nasty Boys for the WWF Tag Team Championship at Summerslam, Paul E Dangerously’s Headshrinkers!!!!!!”


Jim Powers is standing in the ring with his partner for the night, The Kid then the music starts to play bringing out the Headshrinkers!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: “The veteran Jim Powers teams tonight with The Kid to take on the Headshrinkers! The Kid and Powers have a tall order in front of them!! “

Randy Savage: "Ooh yeah, Gorilla! But you never know what's gonna happen in the WWF. Let's get this party started!"

W/

The match begins with Samu and The Kid in the ring. The Kid shows tremendous technical skill and determination, trying to outwrestle Samu despite the significant size and strength disadvantage. The Kid picks the tempo up and starts flying around the ring!

Gorilla Monsoon: "The Kid may be a rookie, but he's showing incredible tenacity in there."

Randy Savage: "He's giving it his all, Gorilla, but the Headshrinkers are no pushovers."

Despite The Kid’s valiant efforts, Samu eventually tags in Fatu, and the Headshrinkers take control of the match. The Kid is able to break away and tag in Jim Powers. Powers fights the Headshrinkers with all he’s got but soon Fatu catches a clothesline that damn near takes Powers’ head off!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: “Clothesline City, he nailed him!!!! That’s gonna be an Excedrin headache #35!!!”

The Headshrinkers isolate Powers, using their brute force and tag team tactics to wear him down.

Gorilla Monsoon: "The Headshrinkers are beating Powers from Piller to Post!!!

Randy Savage: "The Headshrinkers are taking him apart Gorilla. Powers needs to make a tag."

After several minutes of punishing Powers, Samu hits a belly to belly suplex and Fatu hits a splash off the top rope!!!!!!!! Fatu pins Powers for the Victory!!!!

WINNERS: THE HEADSHRINKERS

Gorilla Monsoon: "The Headshrinkers secure the victory here tonight, but I’ll tell you what The Kid did some damage in there and certainly put up a fight."

Randy Savage: "He did, Gorilla, and that's what the WWF is all about. And I think that given the chance The Kid might just surprise someone!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: The WWF Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys, are standing by backstage!!!!

The Nasty Boys are standing backstage, with the WWF Tag Team Championship belts hanging over their shoulders.

Brian Knobbs: “ Listen up, we got a message for The Headshrinkers and that loudmouth Paul E. Dangerously!"

Jerry Sags: "You see, boys, The Nasty Boys ain't afraid of nobody! We've been through the everything the streets can dish out and we've come out on top every single time!"

Brian Knobbs: "That's right, baby! And at SummerSlam 1993, The Headshrinkers, you're stepping into the ring with the nastiest team in the WWF, and we ain't lettin' go of these titles!"

Jerry Sags: "Paul E. Dangerously, you think you can run your mouth? Well, let us tell you something, you pencil necked PUNK. Your talking ain't gonna stop us from bashing some heads with our fists STARTING WITH YOURS!!!!"

Brian Knobbs: “SummerSlam 1993, The Headshrinkers get ready to go to NASTYVILLE!!!! And Paul E, you stick your nose in WE’LL REARRANGE YOUR FACE!!!!”

Back at ringside Scott Taylor is in the ring waiting on his opponent when Yokozuna’s music hits!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Well, Scott Taylor’s life is about to flash before his eyes Macho, because he is about to go one on one with the mammoth 500 pound Yokozuna!!!!”


Randy Savage: "Ooh yeah, Gorilla! Yokozuna is an absolute force to be reckoned with."

w/

The bell rings, Scott Taylor rushes the man from the Orient and that probably wasn’t the best decision! Yokozuna dominates the match against Scott Taylor, showcasing his immense size and power.

Gorilla Monsoon: "Yokozuna is just crushing Scott Taylor here. It's like a freight train against a bicycle."

Randy Savage: Whomever decides to take up Yokozuna’s challenge at Summerslam better come ready cause it ain’t gonna be an easy night!!!!

Yokozuna finishes Taylor off with a leg drop then makes the cover for the easy three count!!!

WINNER: YOKOZUNA W/MR. FUJI

After the bell, Mr. Fuji starts directing traffic as he orders Yokozuna to drag Taylor to the corner!!!! Fuji is waving the Japanese flag as Yokozuna hits a Banzai Drop, but he doesn’t stop at 1, Yoko hits a second Banzai Drop, and then a THIRD!!!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "This is unnecessary! Yokozuna is just punishing Scott Taylor!"

Randy Savage: "Somebody's gotta stop this!"

Savage starts to take off his headset when ……..

MR. PERFECT BUSTS OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM AND SLIDES IN THE RING!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Here comes Mr. Perfect! He's seen enough!"

Randy Savage: "It’s my Perfect Partner coming to the rescue!!!!"

Perfect is in the ring and decks Fuji!!!! Savage leaves the commentator table and pulls Taylor out of the ring as Perfect picks the Japanese flag up and blast Yokozuna with it!!! Perfect hits Yoko again and again before finally breaking it over Yoko’s head and send Yoko out of the ring to the floor!!! Savage jumps in the ring and raises Perfect’s hand and then stands with him!!! Savage calls for a microphone!!!


Randy Savage: “OOOOOHHHHHHH YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! FREAK OUT!!! FREAK OUT!!!! Mr. Perfect is on Monday Night Raw, DIG IT!!!!! Whatcha got to say?


Mr. Perfect :"Yokozuna, you think you're unbeatable, huh? Well, I've got news for you,!!!! I accept your open challenge for SummerSlam 1993! You hear that Fuji? You hear that big man??? At Summerslam in the Boston Garden, I’m going to show you what being PERFECT is all about!!!!!!!!!”


Randy Savage and Mr. Perfect celebrate in the ring while Fuji and Yokozuna head to the locker room!!!


Gorilla Monsoon: WHAT AN ANNOUCEMENT!!! If Summerslam wasn’t already stacked, now Mr. Perfect will battle Yokozuna!!!!!! We’ll be right back!!!

Davey Boy Smith: "That's right, Owen. The Quebecers might've walked away with the victory, but it wasn't a clean win, and they know it. We're not gonna stand for it!"

Owen Hart: "So, here's the deal. Next week on Raw, we want a rematch with The Quebecers, and we promise all our fans something special. We've got a surprise in store for Johnny Polo that he won't forget!"

Davey Boy Smith: "That's right! We're gonna make sure Johnny Polo stays out of our business!!!!

Bam Bam Bigelow’s music hits and Luna Vachon leads the Beast from the East to the ring!!!

Randy Savage: "The Beast from the East Bam Bam Bigelow against the technically sound former WWF Champion Backlund! And as a TWO TIME former WWF Champion I can tell you that no matter how old you get once you get a taste of the WWF Title you want it back!!!”

Bam Bam Bigelow continues to control the match, wearing down Backlund with his brute force! Bigelow is pounding Backlund into the mat, every time Backlund tries to fight back Bigelow just overwhelms him!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Bigelow is really asserting his dominance here, Randy."

Randy Savage: "Bigelow is the real deal, and he's got The Undertaker waiting for him at SummerSlam."

Gorilla Monsoon: “I’m being told that Johnny Polo has called in and is standing by to answer the challenge of Owen Hart and The British Bulldog!!! Mr. Polo are you there!!”

Johnny Polo: “Well, thank you for answering the phone Baboon, sitting at home listening to you and the Nacho Man has lowered my IQ points so this won’t take long.

Gorilla Monsoon: "Bam Bam Bigelow is looking unstoppable, and in just three weeks, he's set to face The Undertaker at SummerSlam!"

Randy Savage: "That's gonna be a collision, Gorilla! Two titans clashing at the biggest party of the summer!"

Gorilla Monsoon: “All that’s left is the Main Event as Crush takes on the #1 contender for the WWF Title “The Total Package” Lex Luger, last week Lex invited the Champion to sit with The Macho Man and I here at ringside for the main event, the Excellence of Execution is standing by!!!!

Luger, last week you said you wanted me to be at ringside to get a close look at what you can do, well tonight, while you're in the ring with Crush, I WILL be at the commentary table, keeping a close eye on you.

Gorilla Monsoon: “The Total Package sure is proud of his physique, Hitman!!”

Bret Hart: “it’s impressive, but it takes a lot more than just muscles to be the WWF Champion!!!”

The bell rings, and Crush and Lex Luger lock up, showcasing their strength and athleticism. The match is back and forth, with both men delivering powerful moves and near falls.

Bret Hart: "You know, guys, this is what it's all about in the WWF. Two incredible athletes giving it their all. It’s just too bad one of them is an egotistical jerk”

The match continues, it becomes clear that Lex Luger is in a little bit of trouble as Crush is more fired up than anyone has ever seen him!!! Luger finally gains the upper hand with his underhanded tactics, but Crush keeps fighting back.

Gorilla Monsoon: "Luger's resorting to some dirty tactics here. The referee needs to do something here!!! Give me a Break!!!!

Randy Savage: "Crush ain't givin' up, though! He's got the support of the fans and he is in it to win it!!!!!!”

Bret Hart: “Crush has everything it takes to be a Champion here in the WWF and he is showing it here tonight!!! Luger keeps showing why no one has ever had any respect for him, he has all the tools to be a Champion and one people could be proud of but he can’t do it without taking short cuts!”

Dave Hebner calls for the bell and gives the victory to Luger as Crush is completely knocked out from the forearm shot!!!!!

WINNER: “THE TOTAL PACKAGE” LEX LUGER

Gorilla Monsoon: "Luger beats Crush here on Monday Night Raw but it’s not without controversy!!!!."

Randy Savage: “I don’t like it Gorilla!!!! That forearm ain’t what you would call legal, you know what I’m saying?

Bret Hart: "Well, Lex Luger got the job done tonight, but he better be ready because at SummerSlam, he's stepping into the ring with the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be."

After posing in the ring briefly, Luger gets out of the ring and walks up to Bret at the commentary table!!!! Luger poses and then the mics pick up Luger talking trash to Bret and telling him he is taking the title at Summerslam!!!

LUGER THEN PIE FACES BRET HART!!!!

Bret gets back up and attacks Luger!!!!

Gorilla Monsoon: "Here comes the WWF Champion, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart! He's had enough of Lex Luger!"

An uncontrollable brawl ensues as Bret Hart and Lex Luger exchange punches, with officials and security rushing in to separate them.

Gorilla Monsoon: "These two can't wait for SummerSlam! They're going at it right here and right now!"

The show goes off the air with Bret Hart and Lex Luger being pulled apart as Monsoon says to join us next week for more MONDAY NIGHT RAW!!!!!
