I don’t have an elaborate back story, sorry I couldn’t think of anything. I will start of with the WWF in August of 1993. A brief review of the period, Lex Luger was traveling all across the country in the Lex Express, he was on a Summerslam collision course with WWF Champion Yokozuna. Reigning King of the Ring Bret Hart was feuding with Jerry The King Lawler to determine the true king of the WWF. WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels was in a feud with Mr. Perfect in a battle of two of the best Intercontinental Champions in history. Tatanka was still undefeated and the feud between The Undertaker and Giant Gonzalez was nearing its end.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

I'll wish you good luck...I recall your 1991 diary, and seem to remember having a hand in inspiring you to do it, so it only makes sense you'd try 93. Long as you don't travel back in time and start up a dirtsheet with Bruce Hart, I'll be reading.

Before I start I want to thank wrestlingsuicide. I asked him if I could use his format for my shows and he allowed me to use it. So once again thank you to wrestlingsuicide

WWF Intercontinental Title Match

Shawn Michaels© vs Mr. Perfect

I just don't see Perfect going over in this one.

WWF Tag Team Title Match

The Steiner Brothers© vs The Heavenly Bodies

Rest In Peace Match

The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase vs Razor Ramon

Razor was so over with the crowd in his time with the WWF.

WWF Intercontinental Title Number One Contender Tournament Semi-Final

The 1-2-3 Kid vs Rick "The Model" Martel

This one's really a toss up, but since I went with Razor winning in the other match I took the heel in this one.

8-Man Tag Match

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, Tatanka, & High Energy vs IRS, Bam Bam Bigelow & The Headshrinkers

Savage continues his comeback

Singles Match

Marty Jannety vs Ludvig Borga

WWF Title Match

Yokozuna© vs Lex Luger

Squash Luger like a bug and get Hart back into the mix.

King vs King

Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs Jerry "The King" Lawler

Hoping that you fix what happened in real life...

WWF Intercontinental Title Match

Shawn Michaels© vs Mr. Perfect

Michaels is tomorrow's news, so push him well. Even if it is over Curt Hennig.

WWF Tag Team Title Match

The Steiner Brothers© vs The Heavenly Bodies

The Bodies getting it would only be great if it were the Lane/Pritchard variety. Well, Pritchard/Ray would be cool too, but not over the Steiners.

Rest In Peace Match

The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez

Kill Gonzalez before it spreads.

WWF Intercontinental Title Number One Contender Tournament Semi-Final

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase vs Razor Ramon

Dibiase would rule, but Ramon is getting the win here.

WWF Intercontinental Title Number One Contender Tournament Semi-Final

The 1-2-3 Kid vs Rick "The Model" Martel

Martel is just better....looking.

8-Man Tag Match

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, Tatanka, & High Energy vs IRS, Bam Bam Bigelow & The Headshrinkers

High Energy for the win!

Singles Match

Marty Jannety vs Ludvig Borga

Jannetty is a jobber here. That's all that needs to be said.

Singles Match

Jeff Jarrett vs Tito Santana

Tito would be better, but Double J is not losing here.

Singles Match

Bob Backlund vs Diesel

Would rather see Bob pull it out, but Diesel is the future.

Tag Team Match

The Quebecers vs The Smoking Gunns

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think there are better things that can be done with the Quebecers than the Gunns.

[Hewey]

Pretty good work thus far man. I was a big fan of your '91 diary, And lets hope this one goes as long as that one went. I'm enjoying the shows and you got things down well. There are a few minor mishaps, As Duggan was out of the WWF by August, Crush was written out of storylines after getting beat down by Yokozuna, Owen Hart was still injured. Anyways, I hope you push guys like HBK, The Undertaker, Razor, Diesel, Martel and Crush. Here's my SummerSlam predictions.

The Main Event

WWF Title Match

Yokozuna© vs Lex Luger

I'm hoping Luger wins so he can hold the belt till like the Survivor Series, And then the next champion can hold it until Wrestlemania. I just don't see either one of these guys making good long term champions. The Luger era will start here but it will not end well, As Luger's overness will probably plomet straight to hell.

King vs King

Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs Jerry "The King" Lawler

I'd like to see Lawler get the win here. I think he'd make a good challenger against Luger. But I just see Hart scoring the win over Lawler.

WWF Intercontinental Title Match

Shawn Michaels© vs Mr. Perfect

HBK is the next big thing, No reason for him to drop the title to Perfect.

WWF Tag Team Title Match

The Steiner Brothers© vs The Heavenly Bodies

The Steiner's won't lose in their home state. Besides, The bodies haven't really gotten a proper push to be tag team champions.

Rest In Peace Match

The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez

Undertaker will bury Gonzales here and then hopefully move onto challenging for the WWF Championship.

WWF Intercontinental Title Number One Contender Tournament Semi-Final

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase vs Razor Ramon

I just don't see the over forty year old DiBiase beating Razor. Besides, It'll set up a nice Martel/Ramon match in the final round. Plus, Razor is just getting bigger and bigger in the eyes of the fans. No need for him to lose to DiBiase.

WWF Intercontinental Title Number One Contender Tournament Semi-Final

The 1-2-3 Kid vs Rick "The Model" Martel

If Kid wins against all odds all the time, It'll get old real fast. Plus, Razor needs a heel to face in the finals.

8-Man Tag Match

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, Tatanka, & High Energy vs IRS, Bam Bam Bigelow & The Headshrinkers

Just cause Tatanka is undefeated and Savage is making his PPV return.

Singles Match

Marty Jannety vs Ludvig Borga

Borga's a hoss and in Vince's mind, A perfect candidate to be the WWF Champion in the future. No way is he losing to Jannetty.

Singles Match

Jeff Jarrett vs Tito Santana

I actually liked Double J during his country singer era and hope you push him well. Since this is his big debut, He's winning it.

Singles Match

Bob Backlund vs Diesel

Diesel is God, Backlund is getting up there in age and should not beat a big hoss like Big Daddy Cool.

Tag Team Match

The Quebecers vs The Smoking Gunns

So you can have a strong heel team to challenge the Steiner Brothers.

[Hewey]

SummerSlam was a good show. I was shocked at seeing Yokozuna retaining the title. I just hope this doesn't lead to a whole huge journey for Luger trying to get back the title, Only to fail. (like in real life.) I do like The Undertaker being put into the title picture. I'm hoping the deadman wins the title. Though, I don't see him heading into Wrestlemania as champ, As I feel Hart is winning the Rumble and then taking the strap at Mania. I actually like the Borga/Luger feud, As it's something McMahon would have a huge hard on for. The possible Savage/Martel and Hart/DiBiase feuds look promising too. Hopefully, Savage goes down to the model. I also can't wait for HBK and Razor to tear things down. Keep up the good work (Y)
