Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Randy Savage.

• Lex Luger vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (w/Ted DiBiase, Tatanka & Nikolai Volkoff)

Tatanka and Volkoff are here obviously to distract Lex so that Bigelow can pull a Pearl Harbor job. After Lex gets pushed and shoved around, he gets some momentum and fires back with a back elbow and a right hand to knock Bigelow loopy through the ropes. Back inside, Luger is all about the left arm. Meanwhile, Vince and Savage discuss their taxes. Bigelow hits Lex with a powerslam, but misses a flying headbutt. HOUSE OF FIRE Luger gets two. As Luger returns to the arm, King Kong Bundy joins his MDC boys. Commercials! When we come back, Vince tells us Luger has been pummeled from pillar to post from all the MDC members during the break. Next thing we know, Adam Bomb and Mabel are here to back up Lex. Not really enough backup, but better than nothing. Bigelow is still pummeling Luger. During a chinlock struggle, Luger’s arm drops once, twice, but not three times. He tries to fight back, but he’s having trouble putting Bigelow down. It takes a WHOLE BUNCH of running clotheslines to do it. Once Bigelow is on his back, Tatanka grabs Luger’s feet while DiBiase is distracting the ref. Luger kicks him away and as Tatanka gets back up on the apron, Bigelow runs into him for some heel miscommunication. Schoolboy by Luger gets the three-count. (10:46 shown) Lex celebrates with Adam Bomb and Mabel as the MDC head to the locker room frustrated.

Let Us Take You Back: Superstars, 10/8/94. On the Heartbreak Hotel, Bob Backlund was the special guest. HBK and Diesel want to party with him, but Backlund doesn’t feel the same way. He still thinks he’s the WWF champion, too. COME OUT AND WRESTLE HIM, BRET.

• Mabel vs. Reno Riggins

Reno does what he can, but it’s just not enough. LEGDROP by Mabel gets the win at 2:37.

Randy Savage were a part of the Columbus Day Parade in NYC as ambassadors of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation float.

• Owen Hart (w/Jim Neidhart) vs. John Chrystal

They hype Owen’s final shot at Bret Hart and his WWF title on the debut edition of the Action Zone on October 23. Vince tells us that WWF President Jack Tunney will be on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight singing a duet with Barry Manilow. Plus, George Lucas is writing three more Star Wars movies. Yes, and they will absolutely suck. SHARPSHOOTER ends Chrystal at 3:41. Owen and Neidhart get in some extracurricular activities after the bell.

Let Us Take You Back: Superstars, 10/8/94. Undertaker and Paul Bearer vow that Yokozuna will pay for his crimes and will face the reaper once more on the Hart Attack tour. OHH YESSSSS.

• King Kong Bundy (w/Ted DiBiase) vs. Mike Khoury

Yeah, AVALANCHE takes care of Khoury in 2:45. And yes, Bundy demands a five-count. Classic Bundy.

Let Us Take You Back: Superstars, 10/8/94. Doink and Dink get Jerry Lawler to sit on a cream pie. Ahem. Anyways, this sets up the King’s Court. Lawler introduces the world to his little pal Queasy. Hilarity ensues. Do I really have to give a deeper summary of what happens here? I mean, is anybody really interested in this storyline?

• The New Headshrinkers (w/Captain Lou Albano & Afa) vs. Corey Student & JT Storm

This is the RAW debut of Sionne as he takes over for Samu. Vince tries to get us to wonder which two of the three Headshrinkers will face Shawn Michaels and Diesel over the tag belts. KICK OF FEAR by Sionne ends Mr. Storm here at 1:43.

Before we go, Doink and Dink come out and put Burger King crowns on Vince and Randy’s heads. This weekend, Doink says he’s got a “little surprise” for Jerry Lawler and Queasy. YOU KNOW YOU JUST CAN’T WAIT.

NEXT WEEK: Doink the Clown meets Jeff Jarrett! Plus, we’ll see IRS and also Davey Boy Smith.
