WWF RAW 8/2/1993 (Manhattan, NY)
1. Lex Luger defeated Kamala in 4:36 with the Torture Rack.
2. Kings Court w/Crush: Jerry Lawler conducted an interview with Crush, who has taped up ribs due to the beating he received at the last SNME. Lawler calls Crush a disgrace and a failure in trying to defeat Yokozuna after saying he would. Crush is clearly emotional as he knows he let the fans down. Lawler believes Crush is weak and pokes Crush in the ribs, which doesnÂ’t go over well with Crush. Lawler also slaps Crush in the face for failing to live up to the fans expectations. Lawler turns his back to rip on the fans saying that they boo Lawler but cheer for someone that lets them down? Lawler turns around and is met with a big boot from Crush. Crush attempts to put the Kona Vice on Lawler but one of LawlerÂ’s odd ball friends, Doink, comes down to the ring. Doink whacks Crush over the back with a crutch and works on Crush in the ribs until Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart run down to the ring to run Lawler and Doink out of the ring.
3. The Quebecers defeated Barry Horowitz/David Williams in 1:06 when Pierre pinned Williams.
4. Diesel/Tatanka Brawl: Backstage, Jim Ross was going to interview Tatanka but instead we see a brawl between Diesel and Tatanka.
