211 | WWF Stars & Stripes Challenge: Yokozuna vs. USA - July 4, 1993

yeah.

July 2nd, 1993.

And you've got the newly crowned WWF champion Yokozuna.

Mind you, he just beat Hulk Hogan at King of the Ring in June.

He made an open body slam challenge to anybody on board the USS Intrepid in New York City.

More than 1,000 fans gathered there.

And you've got Mr. Fuji there.

And he is by his side.

He's obviously the mouthpiece.

Yoko is not talking at all, but they are confident that no one would have the strength to lift him up and slam him down in the middle of the ring.

I mean, this is tail as old as time WWF.

This is like Vince McMahon just recycling things with like Hogan and Andre.

I thought the same exact thing.

So there were 20 competitors that were planned for, and then there's two at the end that I guess we'll get to eventually.

There's two at the end that I think were either one was on the fly, and obviously one was what we all know coming into this with Lex showing up.

But yeah, 20 guys.

Okay, I'm going to interject real quick.

It was on July 4th.

I apologize.

I don't know where I'm pulling July 2 shit from.

That's all right.

I'm glad we corrected that.

Then we didn't get more housekeeping for Matt because I'm sure something's going to come up in this episode, but it starts off the thing.

It's again, this is all raw footage.

There's no introduction.
