Classic Review: 1994-01-23 Wrestling Challenge


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-02-28, we are going back to 1994 and the January 23rd edition of Wrestling Challenge.   We have Owen Hart, IRS, The Smoking Gunns and more in action.  Let us go to the ring because the future King of Harts is in action and that is a good thing!
  • Interesting that this is taking airing after the Royal Rumble but the commentary does not fit that
  • I hated Shawn Michaels hair at this point, it is weird that he is bald now but a better look for sure
  • One of Shawn's many finishers.  Weird he hit both the superkick and the piledriver but I do like that
  • Here comes one of my favourites of all time, the Rocket King as Gorilla will soon be calling him
  • Is that Scotty Too Hotty?  IT IS!
  • Wow, they are talking a lot about the Hitman during the Rockets match.  No wonder Owen hated him!
  • Did anyone do a better belly to belly then Owen?
  • Billy and Bart coming out but more importantly Barry Horowitz!  I love me som bad Barry
  • Neither Gunns should EVER talk....Billy only got slightly better in the future
  • How stupid did those fans look!  No one actually bought those stupid foam hats
  • Damn it, Raymond, do not say the "c" word!  YOU KNOW THAT!
  • Bam Bam was so big at this point
  • Uggg, and then we have good guy Doink....worst gimmick ever?
  • Good grief that was a killer Stun Gun by Triple B
  • Do you think Razor is going to come out and screw IRS again against Walker...and no because it is already over!
  • Here comes Flexy Lexy!  Never really bought him as anything but a cocky heel
  • I literally bought the Sega CD just for that Rage in the Cage game....and I do not remember it at all
Not the best show this week.  It was obviously just a throwaway show because of the Rumble the night before.  I did like the IRS and Owen match as both are amazing.  Plus is there anyone better than Corny on the mic?  However, at the end of the day, this was a forgettable show, unfortunately.
