WWF Monday Night Raw
Episode 009

Mid Hudson Civic Center
Poughkeepsie, New York
March 15, 1993

Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan and Rob Bartlett (impersonating Vince McMahon)  host in this first episode outside of Manhattan, New York.  They talk about the blizzard they just had yesterday.  Vince McMahon, Macho Man and other WWF Superstars were at a awards banquet for a charity.

Razor Ramon vs. Russ Greenberg
Razor dominates the entire match.  A Suplex off the second turnbuckle and a Razor's Edge gives him the win. 

Typhoon vs. L A Gore
Typhoon uses his size and strength to win this match easily with a Big Splash.

Bobby Heenan is in the ring interviewing Giant Gonzales, who is accompanied by Harvey Wimpleman.  They talk about his debut at the Royal Rumble and his upcoming match at WrestleMania IX.  Giant Gonzales says that he has a giant surprise for the Undertaker. 

Papa Shango vs. Bob Backlund
Backlund gets various amateur moves on Shango.  Bartlett's impersonation of McMahon is really annoying both Monsoon and Heenan.  Shango gets some moves in using his strength.  Backlund manages a Small Package that gets him the win.

The WrestleMania IX Report with Mean Gene Okerlund.  He hypes the double main events.

The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers
Brian Knobbs kisses the plus-size Raw girl before the match begins.  Lots of double-teaming by both teams.  Samu misses a top rope falling head butt.  Knobbs does a double DDT on both men.  They all fight on the outside to the back.  They fight at the concession stand by the entranceway.  The bell is rung as they still fight with food and chairs.
