Raw Report May 10, 1993


.................







Chaos in the streets! Tonight, on RAW!!!

.................


We could hear the announcers better if they would TURN. OFF. THE. OBNOXIOUS. SIREN.

.................


Bam Bam Birgilia is in a King of the Ring qualifying match against Typhoon.

"Talk about the beef, look at it here in the WWF!"


"Um, dude, your boob's out."





Credit to Bigelow for lifting Typhoon on several occasions.

BBB surives the Typhoon to get the win

.................




Cowpokes continue inching ever closer to the WWF

...............


Yokozuna versus P.J. Walker so, you know.. go grab a snack or check your emails or something.

................


Today on the King of the Ring Report, Mean Gene narcs on Lex Luger for using Ico Pro. Mean indeed!



Wow, I would actually watch WWF Superstars just to watch Tatanka chop Gonzalez into a normal sized human.

.................

Just FYI, this era of Raw does a weird continuing gag where they put a plus-sized ring girl in between matches and make jokes at her expense. These are mean-spirited and unfunny so I tend not to mention them.



"Iron Mike" Sharp is up against Mr. Perfect. They get into a literal slap fight.




Bobby Heenan watches Bobby Heenan watching TV.




Anyhow, the fight between Perfect and Sharp ends, and credit due for a filler fight, because it wasn't half bad.


....................


Okay, call me confused, but now Mr Hughes is fighting Cannonball Kid. Who last week was called Kamikaze Kid. Who is wearing the uniform of Lightning Kid. Who will later be 1-2-3 Kid. You can't build brand recognition that way, Kid!

Lol, Vince just called him the Kamikaze Kid. Even the announcers don't know who the hell he is.


Just lifting a dude up by his own head, nbd


This game is glitchy...

Sure looks easy to win a fight when you got 200lbs on your opponent.

............


Alright, this is what we've been waiting for! Lumberjack match! Michaels against Hacksaw Jim Duggan!



The setup for this match is that a handful of other "lumberjack" wrestlers will surround the ring and if you try to escape, they'll sock you right in the gob and chuck you back in. So Shawn Michaels can't try his normal strategy of "keep my belt if I run away and get counted out."



Oh dip! Things heat up early when Duggan does a side quest and attacks Lumberjack Yokozuna!



What's this? Michaels staggers out on crutches but of course he was OBVIOUSLY FAKING and the match finally gets started.




For no reason I've decided to immortalize this random fan. 28 years ago he went to a Raw event and now he's on SomethingAwful until the end of time (or the forums die, whichever comes first). You didn't even know what the Internet was 28 years ago and now you're ON IT! :psyboom:




Anyhow, Jim Duggan imposes his meaty vengeance on Michaels. This guy is just so gosh-darned likeable. I'm in my recliner yelling "Hooooo!!!!" right along with the crowd.


Duggan is absolutely dominating, which tells me he will 100% lose this fight.



Michaels loves this moment where he gets clobbered and does a little pirouette.


Ha ha ha. Bob Backlund is Porky-Pigging it outside of the ring. Ha. Gross.


Michaels tries to run but the lumberjacks kindly ask him to return to his rear end kicking.


Shawn takes off his cowboy boot and bops Duggan with it, and apparently that floppy boot did more damage to Duggan than all of Duggan's suplexes, body slams, punches, and stomps combined did to Michaels.


Michaels might have a contract where he gets to win a lot, but he sure gets absolutely pounded in every match right up until the moment he wins.
He's SUCH a ham, though. Every atrack has him bouncing and flailing like he was hit by a truck.


Previously on today's Raw Report:



Okay, we all knew the match would end due to some nonsense from the lumberjacks and that's exactly what happens. I'm not even going to explain it all. Michaels keeps his belt. Booooooo!!!!

Entertaining all the same. Fun episode.

I was incredibly into it in the late 90's, to the extent that we were doing backyard idiocy (several of my friends still have permanent injuries. Ah, youth.)

But this thread got me poking around again, I hadn't watched anything since the WWE turned into the John Cena show (just never cared for him.) But I did check out a bunch of AEW clips and it's... pretty great.

Brock! Oh, man, I'm sorry about your...

...tooth?


Here's the basics on what's going down with the AEW PPV tonight:

Kenny Omega (c) vs. Jon Moxley in an Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match for the AEW World Championship

When AEW started, Omega and Moxley had a dream match feud that Moxley won. Moxley went on to win the AEW Championship while Omega found success in the tag division with Hangman Adam Page as his partner. By the time he and Hangman lost the tag titles, Omega had grown to resent his partner and went back to being a singles star. Moxley kept defeating all comers as champ while Omega won a tournament to be crowned #1 contender (last beating Hangman).

During the title match, Omega won via cheating with the help of his friend Don Callis, who runs the promotion Impact. Since then, Omega has been palling around with Callis and the Impact tag champs the Good Brothers. He offered Moxley a rematch for the title, but in the form of a completely over-the-top hardcore death match that you'd only usually see in Japan.

Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Ryo Mizunami for the AEW Women's World Championship

Hikaru Shida has been Women's Champion for seemingly forever to the point that there just didn't seem to be any challengers left for her. AEW held a big 16-woman tournament where half of the bracket took place in the US and the other in Japan. Ryo Mizunami won the Japanese bracket and then the full tournament by defeating former champion Nyla Rose in the finals.

The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) (c) vs. The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho and MJF) for the AEW World Tag Team Championship

The Young Bucks are the face of the tag team division in AEW and won the tag titles at the last PPV. A tag team battle royal was put together to name their #1 contenders and that ended up being Chris Jericho and MJF of the Inner Circle. Lately, the Inner Circle's deal is that MJF earned his spot on the team, but has very obviously been trying to work his way towards usurping leadership from his mentor Chris Jericho. This caused Jericho's other protege Sammy Guevara to get fed up and leave the group.

Casino Tag Team Royale

A 15-team Royal Rumble where the winning team gets a future title shot.

Sting and Darby Allin vs. Team Taz (Brian Cage and Ricky Starks) in a Street Fight

A while back, skater daredevil loner guy Darby Allin lost a big match and commentator Taz offered to mentor him. Darby told him to go gently caress off. Insulted, Taz gradually put together a stable of meaty men and sent them after Darby.

At one point, Sting showed up in AEW and admitted that he saw a lot of himself in Darby Allin. He ended up falling into the role of Darby's mentor by helping him fend off Taz and his army. Now they're going to fight it out in a pre-taped "cinematic match" to hide the fact that Sting is loving ancient.

Cody Rhodes vs. Scorpio Sky vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Lance Archer vs. Max Caster vs. TBA in a Face of the Revolution Ladder Match

It's a big ladder match where the winner gets a shot at the TNT Championship, currently held by Darby Allin. If Allin is too beat up from his own match, he'll have to forfeit the belt.

Hangman Adam Page vs. Matt Hardy in a Big Money Match

Getting into Hangman's struggles would take too long, but he's an alcoholic dealing with the broken friendships that he helped ruin. He started hanging out with the Dark Order (a cult full of lovable idiots), but refused to join them. Meanwhile, Matt Hardy has been able to get his claws into the tag team Private Party and signed them to a contract where he manages them, but he gets 30% of their earnings. Since he and Hangman are buddies, he tried to take advantage of him and convince him to sign the same kind of contract. Hangman is a functional alcoholic and saw through Matt. He tricked him into signing a different contract: one for a match where if Matt lost, Hangman would get all of his first quarter earnings. Matt convinced him to make it go both ways, so if Matt wins, he gets all of Hangman's first quarter earnings.

Miro and Kip Sabian vs. Best Friends (Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor)

Kip Sabian and the love of his life Penelope Ford announced they were getting married and the best man was revealed to be Miro (WWE's Rusev). The tag team bonded over their love of video games. The trio Best Friends accidentally busted up Kip's favorite arcade machine during a match, making them targets of revenge. Best Friend Trent was injured in a brawl while Chuck Taylor lost a match that forced him into being Miro's butler. As Miro's butler, Chuck was able to sabotage the Kip/Penelope wedding. So... wrestling match.

Riho and Thunder Rosa vs. Dr. Britt Baker and TBA

AEW doesn't have enough women's matches on the reg, so here's one for the pre-show.
