Raw #14 - April 26th, 1993
The fourteenth episode of Raw is back in the Manhattan Center. Vince welcomes us, accompanied by Randy Savage and Rob -- no, wait. That's Bobby Heenan! Tonight we will see Lex Luger vs. "The Original Hawaiian Crush," according to Vince. I think he means, "The Original Hawaiian Punch, Crush," unless Crush is at least 1200 years old and was the first settler on the islands.

Raw #4 - February 1st, 1993
The fourth episode of Raw starts off with Native American Tatanka vs. Damien Demento (who doesn't get an entrance).
Tatanka is sporting his classic red mohawk, although a natural feud with the former Red Rooster Terry Taylor would never materialize. This being a live show, we are told right off the bat that tonight's episode is uncut, uncensored, and uncooked. Tatanka quickly puts Demento in a small package for the "1-2-and-3-no, only a count of 2." Demento takes time to talk to the gods on the outside of the ring (could the Damien Demento character be a riff on the Ultimate Warrior?). Rob Bartlett fondly recalls playing with "Tatanka trucks" (get it? Like "Tonka trucks"?). The announcers ignore a "We want Flair" chant as Demento cinches in a chinlock on the Undefeated Native American. Tatanka finally hits the Samoan Drop on Demento for the pinfall. Why does a Native American use a Samoan Drop, anyway? Royal Rumble for SNES had the good sense (and lack of creativity) to call it a "reverse slam". Over all, this match was heavy on tassels but light on Maneuvers.
