Rebooking The WWF: Week 5, 1994

What’s going on this week in the WWF?

WWF RAW 1/31/1994 (Bushkill, PA)
1. Jeff Jarrett defeated Mark Kyle in 3:24 following a jumping DDT. During the bout, pre-taped comments by Jarrett were aired. Jarrett targeted Mr. Perfect and insulted him saying that Perfect continued to get high profile title matches despite constantly losing to Luger, while Jarrett was stuck in the middle in the pack. Jarrett finished off his promo by saying that he realizes that in order to get recognized he is going to have to make himself a star because the WWF officials will not.
2. Kings Court w/British Bulldog: Jerry Lawler introduces his guest this week as the returning British Bulldog. The topic of conversation quickly turns to the developments regarding Ted DiBiase and the Hart Family. DiBiase is using Bulldog’s wife as his personal maid while Bret’s mother and father are his servants as well. Bulldog tells Lawler that this has been a rough way to start the year, but he is grateful to be back in the WWF. He also says that on March 20th Bret Hart will get his own revenge. However, Bulldog makes it clear that DiBiase isn’t out of the woods after that. “DiBiase, don’t think that after WrestleMania you are free of the Hart Family. You have used and abused my loving wife. I will not sit back and allow you to not be punished Bulldog style!”
3. Razor Ramon defeated Steve Reed in 2:57 following the Razors Edge. During the bout, Bam-Bam Bigelow shared some pre-tape comments saying he was pissed off that Ramon is claiming to be the baddest, toughest man in the World Wrestling Federation. Bigelow knows that honor belongs to him and he will show everyone that Ramon is just a fraud!
4. Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair Hype Video: A video promoting the highly anticipated match between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan is aired. “Two icons of wrestling square off in the most iconic arena in wrestling history.

Michaels says that nine times out of ten he would bear Bret Hart and that Hart simply got his one fluke win against him. McMahon asks Michaels what he plans on doing now. Michaels gets a smile on his face and puts his arm on Diesel’s shoulder. “Vince, myself and Big Daddy Cool have been chatting lately and we have come to the conclusion that we are the most dominant tag team in the WWF. Now, we are going to put our skills together and prove to ourselves and all the fans of the WWF that we are the best wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation.

5. Mr. Perfect Interview: Jim Ross interviews Mr. Perfect regarding the statements made by Jeff Jarrett on RAW six days ago. Perfect chuckles saying that Jarrett lives in a fantasy world where he believes that he is a country music star. He lives in a fantasy world if he actually thinks that he is anywhere near the caliber that Mr. Perfect is in. Perfect says that if Jarrett wants his chance at stardom to come at his expense, then Jarrett is in for a big disappointment because Mr. Perfect still has plenty left in the tank to hold his own against the young up and comers in the WWF. Perfect finishes off saying that Jarrett just needs to name the time and place and Perfect will end his dreams of being a star in the WWF.
