Classic Wrestling: 1994-01-15 WCW Worldwide


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am going back to 1994 once again to check out WCW Worldwide from January 15th.  Being a syndicated show who knows who or what we will see so let us get to it!
  • FLAIR VS. EATON!  YES PLEASE!
  • Did Bobby always look the same?  He basically does now!
  • Why would the World Champion open the show?
  • It was always strange that Nick Patrick was as tall or taller than some of the wrestlers
  • Both guys have kept trying the pinfalls after the other raised the shoulder.  Because they are trying to WIN the match not do a bunch of moves
  • There is that Eaton right hand, the best in the business
  • Babyface Flair is so weird
  • Why would Eaton go for the knee knowing it could end up hurting you for the Figure Four?
  • It is weird that some 20 plus years later Flair and Fifi get married
  • It is so weird to hear them as other names other than Booker T and Stevie Ray
  • I hope Harlem Heat returns to fight the Revival.  Just one more time against the best team in wrestling today
  • Worst theme music ever!
  • This in the ring camera work sucks
  • It is almost vertigo-inducing
  • Here comes the Stinger!  I wonder what kind of star he would have been had he gone to WWF at some point
  • I wish Sting would have gone to WWE instead of TNA so we could have got some of those dream matches like Sting vs. Taker, Sting vs. Triple H, Sting vs. Orton, things like that when he could still go
  • Young Fat Man used to love some of those Hard Copy stories like Sexy Swimsuits
  • Four Hall of Famers in this main event
  • For years I said Randy Orton had the perfect wrestlers body....that is because I forgot about Rick Rude in 1992-1994.  
  • THAT IS A DQ!  What is wrong with Randy Anderson!!
  • It was always interesting how into the matches the fans were when they were at Disney
  • A belly to belly from Rude?  That is a first I think for Rude, at least for me seeing
  • I loved Rick Rudes trunks over the years
  • There was no finish?  Weird
A GREAT Show with two fantastic matches in the Flair and the tag match.  This is the best show of 1994 thus far easily.  Both of these matches are worth hunting down and checking out!
