WWF RAW 3/22/1993 (Manhattan, NY)
1. Lex Luger defeated Mark Starr in 0:34 following a running forearm smash.
2. Bret Hart/Ric Flair Contract Signing: Jack Tunney and Vince McMahon were in the ring to conduct the contract signing between Hart and Flair. Flair was cool and clam throughout while Hart didn’t take his eyes off of Flair. McMahon asked for both men to sign the contract, which Hart signed quickly and made sure to sign before Flair. Flair signed as well with a cocky smile. Flair grabbed the microphone and cut a promo declaring that Hart’s title reign began as a fluke and it will be made apparent who the real WWF World Champion truly is at Wrestle Mania IX. Hart responds by claiming that Flair is in denial that time has passed Flair by and that a younger, better wrestler like himself beat him for the WWF World Championship. Hart says that he will not be able to live with himself if by some chance Flair beats him. Hart believes that Flair is everything that is wrong with wrestling and would only hurt the prestige of the WWF World Championship. Flair gets up from his seat and gets in Hart’s face. Flair tries to cheap shot Hart with a right hand but the champ blocks it and eventually clotheslines Flair over the top to the floor. Tunney and McMahon stand in front of Hart to prevent any further brawl. Flair flips out on the floor while Hart poses with the championship to end the segment.
3. Tatanka defeated Skinner in 3:17 following a Samoan Drop. During the bout, WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels called in and said that while Tatanka’s undefeated streak is impressive, he has never fought a man like Shawn Michaels. Michaels is going to end Tatanka’s streak and continue to be the greatest WWF Intercontinental Champion of all time!

4. Mr. Perfect Interview: Sean Mooney conducted a sit down interview with Mr. Perfect at a empty arena. Perfect says he thought that 1993 was going to be the year he won the WWF World Championship and everything was looking great until he made a mistake and lost to Ric Flair. Perfect knows that deep down inside that Flair isn’t better than him and Flair proved that by cheating at SNME. Mooney brings up Lex Luger and Bobby Heenan who claim Perfect is choke artist. Perfect laughs at that statement and asks what Luger has done in the WWF. Perfect goes over the fact that he is a former multiple time WWF Intercontinental Champion and if it weren’t for shady referring, he would be in the main event at WrestleMania IX.
