Classic Review: 1994-01-17 Raw


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you find this entry!  Today, 2020-02-07, we are going back into the time machine to check out the Raw from January 17 1994.  I know that from MSG it is the Quebecers challenging the tag team champs 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty.  Besides that who knows so lets get to the ring!
  • I love how you can barely understand Vince at times when he gets too excited
  • Man I miss the Raw girls at time
  • Crush?  Why is here there?
  • Oh that is right Savage is in action tonight against IRS
  • OWEN!  Its the not quite king yet Owen Hart
  • Man I miss seeing the Rocket King in action every time I see the old shows with him
  • Terry here is not a great performer at all.  That monkey flip was ugly with two g's
  • It is taking Owne way too long to beat Austin here but I love it because I get to watch Owen
  • I love the slight heel tones, great foreshadowing
  • George South, one of the best enhancement talent around
  • Watching these old shows show that it used to be made to look like a fight.  It was not all perfect and that is a good thing yet it did not look sloppy
  • DO NOT SAY THAT WORD VINCE!
  • How great was "Scared" Yokozuna.  Another man who left us way too early!
  • Good grief did you see that Raw girl!  I would take them over the Nitro girls any day!
  • The build of Big Daddy Cool has begun
  • Two of my favorites here.  IRS is one of the best ever that just does not get talked about enough
  • Crush is actually doing pretty good on commentary
  • What is wrong with Savage?  Going after Crush for no reason
  • What did you expect having him at ringside Vince, it is your own fault!
  • Yeah sending out Bill Alfonso is the best route to stop Crush and IRS
  • YES!  Yoko is going to end Savage before he can get to the Rumble
A good show here building to the Rumble.  Hot finish with a good brawl.  The only complaint I can see is that the two squash matches went a little too long.  I would cut each of those matches and maybe put in another match or an interview with Razor or something like.  The big thing I noticed is that everything looked good and like a fight.  It does not look like they are working together!  Until next time....Abyssinia!
