1994-01-16 Main Event



Good morning, good afternoon good evening.....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Once again we are going into our time machine and checking out 1994.  This time the January 16th WCW Main Event.  We are going into the Clash of the Champions and tonight we will see guys like Ron Simmons, the Nasty Boys...who hold the tag team titles with the lovely Missy Hyatt, Diamon Dallas Page and others.  Lets get to the ring!
  • I love angry Ron Simmons
  • I feel like they should have just had Simmons destroy Angel
  • I am surprised that Simmons never did any voice over work
  • Is this the best Missy Hyatt ever looked?  I love the short hair
  • I also think this is the best version of the Nastys.  Both guys were in decent shape and they had not started to breakdown yet
  • Its weird, Knobbs does not have his usual elbow pad on
  • Weird, they are doing a random DDP package mid-match
  • 30 extra minutes this week?  Weird...TBS must have been short programming-wise
  • Good grief, it is the Z-Man.  He is horrible on the mic!
  • No why would it be Z-Man?  Top athletes sunshine, top athletes
  • It is weird to think that the fans will make DDP one of the biggest stars ever in around three years
  • How great is the body language of his lordship?
  • For some reason, I do not see Mike as a winner here
  • I cannot wait till I get to the Clash of the Champions and see Regal against Dustin!  Possibly a Match of the Year in my opinion
  • How great is Regal at making you think the guy is going to win?  One of the best EVER!
  • I did not understand this gimmick.  
  • However, his finisher was MUCH better than that horrible bearhug slam
  • Good grief this interview is AWFUL!
  • Early Harlem Heat, gotta love them!
  • Man Harlem Heat vs. a modern team like say The Revival would be amazing but what do I know!
  • I like the noises that Cactus made in the ring, something that was different and strangely interesting
  • Payne was one of those guys who were pushed I never quite understood.  Because he was big he got a shot?
  • Do you think the Nastys will show up?
  • Worst sunset flip ever!
  • Man the fans loved Johnny!
  • Wait...did Hayes and Badd ever actually team up?  Why would they get a title shot?
  • Talk about a match of legends!
  • Is Col. Parker the last of the great managers? I cannot think of another....I guess Corny was still around but a shell of himself in the WWF
  • I recently heard that Vince McMahon wanted to bring Dustin in to face Hogan at Wrestlemania 9, the year before.  I wonder how that would have been as Dustin was one of the top 10 at that point
  • For wanting to kill each other they are wrestling way too much instead of fighting in my opinion
  • GOOD GOD LISTEN TO THOSE CHOPS!
  • Rick Rude is a guy you do not hear guys talk about now and it is sad.  Take Rude's WCW run and you can learn SO much.  His matches with Sting, Dustin and Ricky Steamboat were amazing!
  • Austin had a great snap mare kneedrop combo
  • Well shit...
My copy of this show does not have a finish to the main event!  Doing a little research it appears other versions of this show did the same thing which is sad.  Overall another solid WCW show but it was just a down time in the company and wrestling in general.  Like always Badd and Regal and Rhodes stole the show!  How WWF did not steal all three is beyond me.  Nothing really worth going out of your way to check out but a solid show!
