WWF RAW 2/14/1994

Michaels revealed that next week on RAW they will be in tag team action against one the toughest tag teams in the WWF, the Nasty Boys. Michaels says they will get their title shot at Mania, even if that means going through every tag team!
2. Kings Court w/ Jerry Lawler: Lawler starts off welcoming all the idiot fans to the Kings Court. He says that backstage there has been a special locker room designated for Roddy Piper. Apparently, Piper has decided to come on the show! Lawler introduces the kilt wearing Piper to the ring. Piper’s music hits and after a few moments, a midget comes out wearing a skirt, and has a comically big nose attached to his face. The smaller Piper grabs a microphone and uses his old line “I came out here to chew bubble gum and kick butt… and I’m all out of bubble gum.” Lawler tells him to calm down and says that they are hear to have a civilized conversation. Lawler calls the man a coward and a cheat for what he did to him at the Rumble. Lawler tells him that Kings Court is better than Pipers Pit and it’s not even close. The midget Piper is fuming and tells Lawler to “put them up”. He wants to fight! Lawler reaches into his tights to get some bubble gum pieces. He ends up dropping them and as the smaller Piper bends down to get them, Lawler plants him with a pile driver! Lawler proceeds to cover “Piper” and counts the fall. Lawler brags about his “victory” and says that Piper will never show his face in the WWF ever again!
3. Yokozuna defeated Craig Stevenson in 1:22 following the Bonzai Drop. After the match, Randy Savage ran out to get his hands on Yokozuna. Savage actually managed to knock Yoko to the floor. Yoko was held back by Crush and the Quebecers, who had came out to hold him back.
4. Mr. Perfect/Jeff Jarrett Confrontation: Vince McMahon is standing in the ring when he introduces Mr. Perfect for an interview. Perfect is greeted with a warm reception. Before he can evens say a word, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton make their way out. Jarrett gets in the ring and tells McMahon and Perfect that no one wants to hear a loser talk. Jarrett talks down to Perfect saying that he shouldn’t be a top priority and probably shouldn’t even bother wrestling anymore. Jarrett says that 1994 is his year and he is making it his mission to get Mr. Perfect out of here. Perfect chimes in to say that Jarrett does a lot of talking, but he hasn’t done anything to prove it. Perfect wants Jarrett to stop talking and try to take him out! Jarrett gets in Perfect’s face and says he wants to embarrass Perfect on the grandest stage in the WWF. “I want to see my name on the marquee, I want 20,000 people to hear my name as the victor. I want to end you at WrestleMania X.” Perfect doesn’t wait a second and quickly accepts the challenge. He finishes off telling Jarrett to be careful what he wishes for.

Owen says that if Benoit thinks he is going to come into the WWF and prove that he is best to come out of the Hart Family, he will need to wrestle him first.

Ramon made it clear that he isn’t afraid of any fight and if Bigelow thinks he is going to back down, he has another thing coming. Ramon is more than willing to show Bigelow that he isn’t a joke nor is he fake, and he will do that by kicking his “flamed covered, bald head all over Madison Square Garden at WrestleMania X chico!” Ross pondered out loud to see if Bigelow would accept the challenge!
