Classic Wrestling: 1994-01-22 WCW Pro


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you found this entry.  Today, 2020/06/20, I am going back in time and catch up with the January 22nd WCW Pro which is new to my collection so it is a little out of order.  Let's go to the ring!

  • Larry and Gordan as hour hosts here, nice
  • I wonder if the Original Sheik sued this Sheik
  • The Sheik is an ugly man!  Looks like a serial killer
  • How great are Regal and Dundee
  • I do not know why but I think Ron was a better a heel till the end as the APA
  • A young Scotty Riggs is one of the things that make me smile watching these old 94 shows because we get to see him grow
  • I miss these kinds of matches to grow talent. Now Studd would have kicked out of all those moves and it would have gone 25 minutes
  • Wow J.D. has quite the beer gut and his gear really shows it off
  • How was Scorpio not a bigger star?  He would be the man now if he came along
  • Man the fans loved this team and the ladies loved Bagwell.  Now they can buy a night with him!
  • I always found a fit guy doing a splash weird verse a big man like One Man Gang doing it.  Seems weird for Bagwell but right for Gang
  • This match is a little long in the tooth at this point.  Okay a lot long in the tooth
  • Here is one of the highlights of WCW 1994 Dustin Rhodes
  • It is weird to think that the Gambler would probably be a major star now and considered big!
  • Sadly a quick match for Dustin after that long tag match
  • How did Dustin get to the back so quickly?
  • How great were these two?  How is Pillman not in the HOF?
  • I love that finish but when was the last time you saw someone bodyslam someone back into the ring?
Another good show.  I know WCW and WWF were in their dark times at this point but I really like WCW in 1994 and WWF had good things as well.  Not much to say other than it was a fun show to watch!
