What If? Summerslam 1993

[darthobiwan]

We now get to Summerslam 1993 (interestingly enough first one not to have Ultimate Warrior).

Should Teddy have won another singles ppv match before retiring (last singles win was Wrestlemania 6 3 years prior)?

Should Heavenly Bodies received a tag title reign?

Should Mr. Perfect had become first 3-time IC champion?

Should Waltman/Kid won first ppv here?

Instead of Bret beating Doink then losing to Lawler by DQ, does he either...
1. Beat Doink and not face Lawler?
2. Lose to Doink and not face Lawler?
3. Beats Doink AND Lawler in session?
4. Loses to Lawler only?
5. Beats Lawler only?
6. Other (please explain)?
Note: this will require a second poll if voted for.

Does Marty halt Ludwigs big push?

Does Gonzales make Undertaker rest in peace (hahhaha)hahaha?

Does Bam Bam and Samoans beat Indian and Cowboys?

Do they go all the way with Lex here?

We are LIVE from The Palace in Auburn Hills, Michigan for Summerslam 1993! Over 23,000 are on hand to witness 10 matches, with all 3 championships on the line!

Opening match is Razor Ramon vs Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Ted may be a bit rusty with singles action since he been teaming with IRS for the past 2 years, and Razor is at the top of his game. Razor is able to pin Ted after razors edge.

Second match is for Tag Team titles, as Michigan's own Steiner Brothers defend against Jim Cornette's boys Heavenly Bodies. Some miscommunication by Bodies lead to Jimmy Del Rey hitting partner Tom Pritchard with moonsault, then Scott pins Tom after a frankensteiner to retain!

*Third match is for Intercontinental title, as Shawn Michaels with bodyguard Diesel defends against Mr. Perfect. After 10 minutes of action, Perfect looks to have Michaels beaten, but Diesel then pulled Perfect out of the ring and threw him into steel steps. Referee decides instead of DQ Shawn or counting out Perfect leading to retain, he throws Diesel out from ringside! He allows Perfect a chance to get back into ring and continue. Upon reentering the ring, Shawn nails the Perfect one with a superkick to cover him, but it gets a 2 count! Shawn is in shock and tries arguing with referee who says it's just 2. The frustrated HBK then grabs Perfect to attempt a suplex, but Mr. Perfect reverses it into a 2nd perfect-plex, and this time there is no Diesel to save Shawn and he is pinned for a 3 count! Mr. Perfect has won Intercontinental championship AND he is the record-breaking 3-time IC champion!!!
After the match, Shawn is having for lack of a better word "hissy fit" by stomping and kicking the ropes, Diesel comes back out to argue with referee saying "Shawn kicked out", while Mr. Prefect is running around ringside holding the belt and hifiving fans on the way to the back!

*Fourth match is veteran IRS vs rookie upstart 123 Kid. Over the summer, Kid has scored upset pins over Razor Ramon and Ted Dibiase. IRS looked to have the easy win by wearing down Kid with abominable stretches and chinlocks, then he bounces Kid off the ropes to attempt a flying clothesline, but Kid ducks then bounces the other ropes to nail IRS with a scissor kick, then with the taxman stunned, Kid races to the top rope and connects with a moonsault onto IRS and pins him! 123 Kid has pinned IRS and scored another upset!!!
After the match, Kid jumps out of the ring and celebrates running to the back like he did with Razor on Raw as the crowd cheers, and IRS is "irate" as he argues with referee "he did not pin me, it was a fluke"!.

Next we have a "Battle for the Crown", as Bret Hart will attempt to extract some revenge against Jerry Lawler, who brutally attacked him just after he won King of the Ring tournament in June. However when Jerry is being introduced, Lawler is seen struggling down to ringside since he is using a crutch and has a bandage on his leg. Jerry gets on mic and says his leg got "broke in an accident this weekend", so he will not be facing Bret tonight, However he calls upon a royal replacement and Doink the Clown comes out. Doink comes out with a bucket of water and tosses it onto Bret's Brothers Owen and Bruce at ringside. This prompts Bret to attack Doink and start the match. Doink tries his best to deliver "Jerry's wraith" onto Bret, but Excellence of Execution proves too much for clown, as he traps Doink in the sharpshooter. However before the clown can tap out, Jerry jumps into the ring with his crutch and nails it onto Brets back, prompting the DQ. This leads to Jack Tunney walking out and ordering Jerry to face Bret or he will be "banned for life" from WWF. Jerry reluctantly gets into ring with Bret, then Bret slowly and methodically attacks Jerry for several minutes before putting him in the sharpshooter. Jerry taps out! However Bret, who is so hell bent on revenge against Lawler for all the insults he said against his family, refuses to let go for several minutes. Only after several officials enter the ring to convince Bret to let go does he finally do so. This leads to referee Tim White to reverse his decision and award Jerry the win by DQ! The crowd is booing heavily as Jerry is stretched out but still raises his finger as if to say "I still win suckers".

New foreign Menace Ludwig Borgia makes short work of Marty Jannetty by making him tap out to a backbreaker.

Next we have Rest In Peace match, as Undertaker takes on Giant Gonzales with Harvey Whippleman in his corner. During the match as Gonzales tries choking Undertaker, the deadman tries reaching out to the urn being held by Harvey. Then surprisingly during the match Paul Bearer comes out after being absent for 2 months and hits Harvey and reclaims the urn! Then Undertaker seems to come back to life and counterattack Gonzales, and knocks him down with 3 flying clotheslines and pins him.

Next to last tonight is a 6 man tag team match, in which Tatanka & Smoking Gunns face Bam Bam Bigelow & Headshrinkers. At one point Bam Bam and his partners attempt 3 simultaneous flying headbutts but Tatanka moves out of the way. Tatanka then rolls up Samu for the pin.

*Main Event is for wwf title, as Yokozuna (with both Jim Cornette AND Mr. Fuji) defending against the Red, White, AND Blue of Lex Luger! Lex has came a long way by riding all across America in Lex Luger this summer! Yokozuna gets the advantage for a while and takes down Lex with side slams and nerve holds. However the power of America and fans cheering gets Lex back to his feet and he powers out and he fights back. Lex then nails Yokozuna with 1 running elbow, who is now stunned but remains on his feet, hits a second flying elbow (Yokozuna still on his feet), then Lex picks up Yokozuna and bodyslams him like he did in July 4th, then bounces off the ropes and nails a flying elbow drop (The American Elbow?) Onto the Samoan... err... Japanese guy and pins him! Lex Luger has won WWF title for the good Ol US of A!!!
After the match, Yokozuna rolls out of the ring disappointed with Fuji trying to comfort him and Jim Cornette screaming "it should not count, he used that metal.elbow". Steiners, Tatanka, and Randy Savage all come out and congratulate Lex. After Earl Hebner hands Lex the belt, Steiners hoist Luger onto their shoulders with him holding the belt above his head and Macho Man waving the American flag as the show goes off the air.
