1. Bam-Bam Bigelow defeated Jim Duggan in 6:13 following a top rope flying head butt.
2. Ric Flair/Mr. Perfect Confrontation: Vince McMahon originally started off the segment with the 1993 Royal Rumble winner Mr. Perfect, where Perfect talked about achieving his goal of winning the most prestigious battle royal in all of wrestling. Perfect also bragged about eliminating his former friend, Ric Flair to win the Royal Rumble and how he loves to see Ric Flair jealous of Perfect. McMahon ends up bringing up WWF World Champion and how the last time Perfect wrestled Bret Hart, he lost. Perfect doesn’t want to make excuses but back at Summer Slam 1991, he was suffering from a major back injury. Perfect says he is 100% healthy and knows that he can beat Bret Hart. Before the interview can end, Ric Flair marches down to the ring and was clearly pissed off. Flair yanks the microphone away from McMahon and begins to scream that he is better than Mr. Perfect. Flair doesn’t care what happened at the Royal Rumble, Perfect has never pinned or made Flair submit. Flair knows that he is the uncrown Royal Rumble winner and demand that Perfect step up and be a man to try and beat THE MAN. Perfect laughs but is slapped by Flair who says this isn’t funny. Flair gets right in Perfect’s face and tells Perfect that he can’t beat him. Flair insults Perfect by saying that Perfect was his manager. Perfect played second fiddle to him. Perfect isn’t smiling anymore. McMahon tries to settle Perfect down as Perfect is clearly getting aggravated. Perfect grabs the microphone and says “You know what nature boy, you want me, you want my title shot at Wrestle Mania IX, you got it! On February 20th, at Saturday Night Main Event we are going to see who the better man truly is!” Flair and Perfect have a heated stare down to end the segment.
