WWF RAW 6/14/1993 (Manhattan, NY)
1. Yokozuna defeated Chris Kanyon in 1:44 following the Bonsai Drop. After the match, Crush tried to come down to ringside but was prevented by several enhancement wrestlers and referees. Crush was heard telling Yoko that he is going to pay for screwing him over last night at the King of the Ring!
2. Bret Hart Interview: Fans erupted as WWF World Champion, Bret Hart made his way down to the ring to be interviewed by Jim Ross. Ross credits Hart with a great hard fought win over the monstrous Bam-Bam Bigelow last night. Hart thanks the fans for their support before saying that last night he showed the world why he is the best wrestler going today. Hart never gave up and overcame the physical difference to retain the greatest championship to hold. Ross mentions Lex Luger winning the King of the Ring Tournament and how Luger will now square off against Bret Hart at SummerSlam on August 30th for the WWF World Championship. Hart knows that Luger is well structured man who seemingly doesn’t have ounce of fat on him. But, despite how great Luger’s physical appearance may be, Hart believes that his wrestling ability is far and away better than Luger’s. Hart doesn’t care if he bleeds or breaks any bones. He thinks that Luger is scared of ruining his looks. “You can’t beat a man who doesn’t care about hurting himself. I’m here for one reason and that is to keep my WWF World Championship.”
3. The Smoking Gunns defeated Duane Gill/Barry Hardy in 2:15 when Billy pinned Gill following a top rope leg drop while Gill was being held by Bart.

4. Bam-Bam Bigelow Interview: Mean Gene conducted an interview with a pissed off Bam-Bam Bigelow. Bigelow didn’t wait to hear what Gene had to say to him. Bigelow knows that he lost to Bret Hart at the King of the Ring. Bigelow knows the fans are going to taunt him and that Gene is going to ask him dumb questions. Bigelow believes that he got complacent and too confident but knows that he is the better man than Bret Hart and someday he will be able to prove that to him. Gene transitions into another topic, which is the impending return of the Undertaker which Paul Bearer has been talking about as of late. Bigelow doesn’t believe the Undertaker will be returning at all. He thinks that Bearer is a liar and wants the attention. “I ended the Undertaker, and Paul Bearer needs to accept that.” Gene asks Bigelow what he would do if the Undertaker were to return. Bigelow finishes off the interview by saying “I’d bury him.”
