Fallout from In Your House!

WWF RAW 5/23/1994
1. Scott Norton defeated Eric Estrada in 2:36 following a shoulder breaker.
2. Kings Court w/ The British Bulldog: Jerry Lawler is annoyed prior to introducing his guest saying that this man ruined the night for a dear friend of his, Ted DiBiase. Lawler says that Bulldog needs to get over the fact that he wasn’t good enough for Diana and DiBiase won her heart. Jerry thinks is cowardly for Bulldog to screw Ted over last night against the Undertaker. Bulldog makes his way down to the ring and has a smile on his face. Bulldog notes that he hasn’t been able to smile in recent times because of what the million dollar scum Ted DiBiase has done to him lately. Lawler cuts into Bulldog’s time and says that it’s not Ted’s fault that Bulldog wasn’t a good enough man for Diane. Diane left Bulldog to be treated like a Queen. Lawler wishes she was his queen and says that Ted is one lucky man. Lawler tells Bulldog he has to accept the fact he wasn’t good enough. Bulldoh grabs the microphone and tells Lawler that while he is still in love with Diane, he isn’t going to sit here and be insulted by Lawler. He can do better and he will break DiBiase in half just as Diane has done to him! “DiBiase, I’m challenging you to a one on one match. Be a man and step into the ring with his furious dog.”
3. Ludvig Borga defeated George Anderson in 2:55 following a back breaker.
4. Randy Savage defeated Tim White in 2:11 following a top rope elbow drop. After the match, the mystery masked man associated with Ric Flair appeared and attacked Savage from behind. The masked man planted Savage with a spine buster and quickly left the ring while the announcers are left confused as to who the masked man could possibly be!
5. Carlos Vega Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Carlos Vega regarding what he did to Razor Ramon last week. Vega came out smoking a cigar and blowing it into a few fans faces with a huge smile on his face. That smile would change when Razor Ramon ran out from behind and attacked Vega! Ramon grabs Vega and sends him into the ring post shoulder first. Vega is pulled up and Ramon signals for the Razor Edge on the floor! Ramon sets him up and hits the Edge on the floor! Several officials run down to escort Ramon backstage while Vega is checked on by the medical staff!

Luger says he wanted to make sure that he was ready to combat Taker and wanted to beat Taker in a match that he has perfected in his career to prove to the world that he is truly the greatest wrestler to ever exist. Ross presses Luger to tell us his plan. Luger pauses and then reveals that he is issuing a challenge to the Undertaker for June 19th at King of the Ring. The match isn’t going to be any kind of match, either. No, Luger is challenging Taker to a casket match!

Hulk tells Vince that Flair and the masked man are sending him a message by attacking his friend, Randy Savage. Hulk knows he and Savage have had their ups and downs but Hogan makes it clear that he will always consider Randy a brother. Hogan proceeds to tell McMahon that Flair and the masked man are cowards and if they want to go around attacking people then they need to prepare themselves for the consequences.
