Live from the United Center in Chicago, IL, it's SummerSlam '94! Out for no apparent reason is "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who decides to begin every sentence with "Welcome everybody…" He introduces our commentators for the night, Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. They inform us that the Headshrinkers/Million Dollar Corporation match will not be for the tag team titles due to Shawn Michaels and Diesel winning the belts the previous night in Indianapolis.
The Headshrinkers vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & Irwin R. Schyster
The Headshrinkers came out with Captain Lou Albano and Afa, while Ted DiBiase accompanied his team. Fatu and Bigelow started. They locked up and Bigelow immediately raked the eyes. He whipped Fatu into the ropes and gave him a shoulderblock. He picked him up and gave him another. Fatu backed himself into the corner and Bigelow gave him a right hand. He whipped him into the corner and charged, but Fatu moved and Bigelow crashed into the turnbuckles. He turned around and was taken down by a savate kick from Fatu. He covered and got a two count.

He executed a headbutt from the second rope, covered and got a two count before Bigelow broke up the pin. Samu dumped Bigelow over the top rope while Fatu came in.

Fatu executed a splash from the top rope, but DiBiase got on the ring apron and distracted the ref. Bigelow ran back in and took out Samu. Albano got on the apron and got nailed by Bigelow. That brought in Afa, who attacked Bigelow. The ref saw it and called for the bell at 7:18, giving the match to Bigelow and IRS by DQ. The Headshrinkers and Afa gave Bigelow a triple headbutt and then nailed IRS. They Corporation fought back, and they brawled all the way up the aisle.
Leslie Nielson is hot on the trail of the Undertaker (we know this because there are signs posted on the wall that read 'Undertaker Trail'). Two security guards confront him, but let him continue his search after they mistake him for Lloyd Bridges. Nielson finally finds a guy in an Undertaker outfit, but it turns out to be George Kennedy. They argue about who's on the case, but Kennedy notifies him that they're both on the case (he points down and we see that they're standing on a briefcase). No Jokes Needed for this segment.
WWF Women's Title Match: Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano
Nakano entered with Luna and a pair of nunchukus. Blayze entered with a flashy robe and the belt. Jerry Lawler wondered if Nakano could take off her hair and wash it like McMahon. Both competitors reached out for a handshake, but Nakano kicked Blayze. She whipped her into the corner and met her with a clothesline. Nakano tried a powerbomb, but Blayze escaped and bounced off the ropes. She hit a running dropkick on Nakano, but missed the second one.

She choked her with her shin and then applied a modified Boston Crab. Blayze made it to the ropes, but Nakano picked her up and gave her two forearms to the back.

Backstage, Todd Pettengill interviews Shawn Michaels and Diesel, the new tag team champions. Diesel: "Maybe my new moniker should be Midas. Because everything I touch turns to gold!" Todd asks Shawn what he thinks about "Sweetness" Walter Payton being at ringside for Razor. Shawn says not to worry because when they get through with them, those two cats are gonna be oh so bitter.
WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Razor Ramon vs. Diesel
Diesel and Michaels arrived first, followed by Ramon and Walter Peyton. Guess which one got a louder cheer from the crowd. Peyton and Shawn exchanged words while the ref made sure everyone went through the sacred ritual of touching the belt. Finally, the match started. Razor flicked his toothpick at Diesel, who ran at him and swung his arm. Razor ducked and pelted him with right hands, using a discus punch to send Diesel to the outside. After some coaching from Shawn, Diesel got back in the ring. He kneed Razor's midsection and elbowed him in the back of the neck twice. He hit Ramon with two forearms to the back and sent him into the ropes for another. He whipped Razor into the ropes, but Ramon hit a right hand and went for a short arm clothesline. Diesel beat him to the punch and sent Razor to the canvas. Diesel went for a big boot when Razor got up, but he ducked and took down Diesel with a clothesline. Diesel backed himself into the corner, where he received another clothesline. Razor whipped Diesel into the opposite corner and charged.

While the ref was preoccupied, Michaels got on the apron and removed one of the turnbuckles' padding. Michaels got down and taunted Peyton, drawing him over. The ref stepped in between them, which allowed Shawn to run around to the other side of the ring and launch himself off the steps with a clothesline to Razor. The ref started to count Razor out, and Diesel and Michaels celebrated a count-out win. However, Razor got back in at the nine count. Diesel set him up in the corner and gave him three reverse elbows, followed by three knees to the midsection. Peyton showed the ref the unprotected turnbuckle just as Diesel started to whip Razor into it. The ref stood on the bottom turnbuckle, preventing the move. Shawn got on the apron, drawing the official away. Diesel followed through with the Irish whip and then hit a sidewalk slam. He covered for a two count.

Afterward, Michaels walked away as Diesel woke up and Razor, Walter Peyton and his son celebrated in the ring.
Somewhere in the arena, Randy Savage talks a lot but says absolutely nothing.
Backstage, Todd Pettengill interviews Tatanka and Lex Luger. The results of the SummerSlam poll show that 54% of the callers think that Lex sold out to Ted DiBiase while 46% think he didn't. Tatanka once again accuses him of selling out and they replay footage of DiBiase saying that he struck a deal with Luger, Luger in DiBiase's dressing room and DiBiase bringing a bag into Lex's locker room earlier in the day. Tatanka leaves and Lex denies the accusations. This angle stinks of Russo influence. We have two guys who have no friendly history other than briefly being on the same team at Survivor Series, and they're obviously setting up a Shocking Swerve with Tatanka turning heel.
Tatanka vs. Lex Luger
Both men came out to mixed reactions. When the bell rang, they stood an argued with each other for a few moments. They locked up, but broke it quickly. They locked up again, and went into the ropes before breaking it. They locked up a third time, and Luger got a standing side headlock. Tatanka whipped him into the ropes and Luger hit a shoulderblock. They locked up again and Tatanka applied a wristlock. Luger reversed it, but Tatanka reversed it again. Tatanka chopped at Luger's arm and then applied an armbar. Luger whipped him into the ropes but missed a clothesline. Tatanka hit a cross body and got a two count. Luger rolled him up with an inside cradle and got a two count. Tatanka stood and gave him a hard knife-edge chop. They exchanged right hands, with Luger taking control. He whipped Tatanka into the corner and hit a hiptoss and a vertical suplex. He covered for a two count. Luger bounced off the ropes but missed an elbow drop. Tatanka hit him with right hands and whipped him into the ropes, hitting a powerslam that got a two count. Tatanka started the wardance and bounced off the ropes, taking down Luger with a chop to the head. He did it again and covered for a two count. He executed a vertical suplex and went to the top rope, where he hit a chop to the head for a two count. He gave Luger a scoop slam and went up top again. Luger moved out of the way of the flying bodypress and hit two clotheslines. Ted DiBiase came down the aisle with the bag. Luger hit a powerslam and then saw DiBiase. He went over to jaw with DiBiase, but Tatanka rolled him up with a schoolboy and got the pin at 6:02.
After questioning Tatanka, Luger turned to argue with DiBiase. McMahon: "I wonder what Tatanka's thinking right now." Lawler: "The same thing I am. Luger's stooopid!" DiBiase brought some money out of the bag, but Luger kicked the bag away. Tatanka attacked from behind, revealing to "everyone" that it was he that had sold out. He attacked Luger with chops, clotheslines and the End of the Trail. He hugged DiBiase and they left the ring. Officials tried to help Luger, but Tatanka ran back in and applied the Million Dollar Dream and the money-down-the-throat spot, because no DiBiase-alligned heel turn would be complete without it. Tatanka finally left Lex in the middle of the ring.
Gorilla Monsoon waits for Tatanka on the SummerSlam hotline. He says that Chief Jay Strongbow is pacing up and down the room, so he might not even make it in the door.
In the arena, Lex is helped up the aisle by officials, looking half dead from the tragic, heart-breaking attack. McMahon takes the opportunity to plug the SummerSlam hotline.
Mabel vs. Jeff Jarrett
Entrances were pretty generic other than Oscar desperately trying to keep in tune with the music. Mabel offered a handshake, but Jarrett blew him off. They locked up and Mabel threw Jeff into the corner. Mabel swung, but Jarrett ducked and was so proud of himself that he did his strut. They locked up again and Jarrett applied a wristlock. He wound up the arm tight, but Mabel grabbed his hand with his free arm and beeled him over. Mabel mocked Jarrett by doing the Double J strut. He whipped Jarrett into the ropes, but Jeff ducked a clothesline, ducked a reverse elbow and held on to the ropes to avoid a big boot. Jeff did the strut again, but Mabel grabbed him by the throat with both hands and lifted him into the air. He dropped him to his feet and bounced off the ropes. Jarrett leapfrogged him and then dropped down, but Mabel dropped an elbow on his back. He gave Jarrett a scoop slam and then clotheslined him over the top rope. Oscar started to taunt Jeff on the outside, so Jarrett shoved him into the steps. Mabel walked over, but Jarrett grabbed his leg and tripped him. He slid into the ring and stomped him. He executed a fist drop from the second rope, but Mabel managed to get to his feet. Jeff hit him with two double axehandles from the second rope, but Mabel wouldn't go down. He tried a double axehandle from the top rope, but Mabel caught him in a bearhug. Jarrett escaped after he gave Mabel an eye rake, but two right hands only seemed to wake up Mabel. Mabel gave him a right hand and whipped him into the ropes. Jarrett jumped on his back and applied a sleeper hold. Mabel rammed Jarrett into a corner, but Jarrett climbed to the second rope and launched himself back onto Mabel with the sleeper. Mabel dropped to one knee, but soon got to his feet and backed Jarrett into the corner again. Mabel whipped him into the ropes and executed a spinning heel kick. He covered and got a two count. Up in the crowd, Abe "The Knuckleball Brawler" Schwartz from Brooklyn is holding an "I'm on strike!" sign. Back in the ring, Mabel whipped Jarrett into the ropes but Jarrett ducked under the clothesline. Jeff tried a cross body, but Mabel caught him and slammed him to the mat. He covered for another two count. Jarrett gave Mabel two eye rakes and then went after Oscar. Mabel lumbered outside the ring and held Jarrett for Oscar, who slapped Jarrett into the face. Jeff backed into the post, which prompted Mabel to squish him into it. He rolled Jarrett back in and tried for a splash off the second rope. Jarrett rolled out of the way and Mabel ate mat (or he would have if there was any salad dressing around *rimshot*). Mabel and Jarrett got to their feet and Mabel whipped him into the ropes. He put his head down and Jarrett attempted a sunset flip. Mabel didn't go down and attempted to sit on him. Jarrett moved and Mabel crashed to the canvas. Jarrett hooked the leg for a quick cover and got the pin at 5:56. He exited the ring, but Mabel chased him to the back.
Vince McMahon announces the presence of Leslie Nielson and George Kennedy somewhere in the arena. The spotlight finds them right in front of the entrance ramp. They tell the light crew to cut the spotlight, but a silhouette of the Undertaker appears behind them on the projector-like screen in front of the curtain. The fans tell them to turn around, but they don't take the hint. The screen slides up and they finally turn around, but see nothing. They decide to check it out and leave the arena.
Todd Pettengill narrates highlights of the Bret/Owen feud. They start at Survivor Series '93, where Owen is the only Hart family member eliminated in their match. He argues with Bret, even shoving him. He demands a match with his brother, but Bret naturally refuses. Over the holidays, they are shown making up and get a tag title shot against the Quebecers at the Royal Rumble. Bret hurts his knee in the match, and eventually the Harts lose. Owen berates Bret and kicks his leg out (of his leg) from under him as he gets to his feet. Bret finally consents to wrestle Owen at WrestleMania before his title match, but Owen actually ends up winning. Later on, Bret wins the title while Owen looks on. Then at King of the Ring, Bret has Jim Neidhart in his corner for his match with Diesel. Neidhart gets a little overzealous and ends up getting Bret disqualified. However, he comes out later on and helps Owen win the King of the Ring. It is revealed that it was he who planted all the jealousy in Owen out of his own jealousy that his former tag team partner went on to great things while he faded away. Finally, the family feud will be decided in the steel cage.
Back in the arena, Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler interview Stu and Helen Hart, who are at ringside with the rest of the Harts, while the cage is being constructed. Lawler blames Stu for driving Owen to this. Lawler notices that Davey Boy Smith is in attendance with his wife Diana, Bret and Owen's sister. Then they notice that Neidhart is sitting near the back. They interview him, and he says that he blames Stu for driving Owen to this greatness. Bruce Hart takes exception and argues with Neidhart.
Backstage, Todd Pettengill interviews Bret Hart, who has just recovered from a case of strep throat. Bret assures everyone that the title isn't going anywhere, and that Owen has never been the better wrestler. He doesn't hate Owen, but he knows that this will be a dogfight because this family feud has to end.
Steel Cage Match for the WWF World Title: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. "The King of Harts" Owen Hart
Both men wasted little time with their entrances. Owen attacked Bret as soon as he got in the door and the match began.

Owen tried to kick him off, but Bret dragged him in and spread his legs as if for the Sharpshooter, but gave him a headbutt to the midsection instead. The camera went wide to show the arena, and Bret did something to Owen. I think it was a snap suplex. Bret went to the second rope and tried an elbow drop. Owen moved, and Bret's elbow slammed into the mat. Owen climbed the cage, but Bret grabbed his leg. Owen raked the eyes to escape his grip and climbed out of the cage.

But wait, there's more. As the Hart Family stood and cheered, Jim Neidhart jumped over the rail and clotheslined the British Bulldog and Diana from behind, sending them both over the rail. The Anvil attacked Bret and choked him with his shirt. Owen and the Anvil took Bret back inside the cage, where Owen removed his boot and hit Bret with it. Neidhart chained the door shut and padlocked it while the Hart brothers tried to get in. They tried climbing the cage, but Owen and Neidhart were able to knock them off. Davey Boy Smith tried scaling the cage, but Owen bit his fingers and hit him through the bars to knock him off. They continued the attack on Bret, still knocking off Hart brothers. Finally, Davey Boy blocked Owen's punches and hit him with hard right that sent Owen to the mat. Davey Boy and some of the brothers got in, and Owen and Neidhart immediately climbed out. Davey Boy tried going after Neidhart but only got one of his shoes. Bruce took a few shots at Neidhart on his way out as well. Too little, too late, the refs broke the padlock on the cage with a lock cutter and climbed in. The Harts and the refs tended to Bret while Owen and Neidhart left.
Backstage, Todd Pettengill tries to interview Owen and the Anvil. Owen criticizes the Bulldog's involvement, saying that he wasn't family so he shouldn't even have been there.
Survivor Series ad. Let the Thanksgiving/Football puns commence!
We recap this whole Undertaker fiasco. Back at the Royal Rumble, Undertaker lost a casket match to Yokozuna after nine men interfered, which allowed Yoko to stuff him in the "double wide, double deep" casket. However, Undertaker made friends with the SFX artists and Marty Jannetty prior to the match to make the opposition think he was rising to the top of the arena. Everyone thought the Undertaker was gone for good, until people started reporting Undertaker sightings. In May, Ted DiBiase claimed that he had found the Undertaker and bought him. To prove this, he brought out Brian Lee on the Heartbreak Hotel, dressed as the Undertaker. Paul Bearer claimed that DiBiase's Undertaker wasn't real after he confronted him on Raw, only to have him pulled away at the sight of DiBiase's money. Bearer contacted the Undertaker and even had his light switch friends save him from the fake Undertaker's grip on the King's Court. Then, for the final pre-match word, Bearer appeared on the MediumTron on Superstars and made DiBiase listen to the Undertaker's voice.
In the arena, the Million Dollar Man makes his entrance. He gets on the mic and introduces the Undertaker. The Undertaker comes to the ring and does his usual thing with the lights. When the music ceases, DiBiase gloats until the music starts playing again and Paul Bearer comes to the ring. Behind him are two druids dragging the double wide, double deep casket, which has a new paint job and an Undertaker logo on the lid. When they get to the ring, Paul Bearer has them open it and reaches inside to retrieve the urn, which looks like it gained as much weight as Paul since the last time we saw them. The music stops and Bearer throws off the urn's lid to reveal a light coming from inside. New music starts up and the real Undertaker makes his entrance. He gets to the steps and brings the lights back on with a little more "oomph" than the other Undertaker. Total entrance time: 10:14.
The Undertaker vs. The Undertaker
After the Undertakers were stripped of all their finery, we see the Undertaker was wearing purple while the Underfaker was wearing gray. As they move in for the staredown, we also saw that the Undertaker was about four inches taller. Undertaker made the cut-the-throat motion, and Underfaker swung a right hand.

As Undertaker stood up, DiBiase ran to the back, while the druids returned and rolled the Underfaker into the casket, which transported him back to the nether world or something, I guess. Apparently he entered a program that reformed him into a biker, a program the Undertaker himself would one day undergo, and resurfaced years later in the WWF as Chainz.

Leslie Nielson and George Kennedy find the Undertaker's casket. Nielson is confident that the answer to the mystery lies within. They open it, but there's nothing inside. Kennedy spots IRS's briefcase lying on the floor and since the case is shut, he congratulates Nielson on solving the mystery. Nielson announces that the case is closed as we fade out.
This wasn't a real good show. It's worth a look for the Bret/Owen cage match and the Diesel/Razor match, which was also good. The rest of the card wasn't anything special, however, and the Undertaker stuff was just plain lame.
