1994-02-12 WCW Saturday Night

 


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, August 29, 2020 I am going back once again to 1994 and checking out WCW Saturday night from February 12th.  We find out if Flair is going to man up and fight Vader.  Johnny B. Badd challenges Rick Rude for the big gold belt and more!
  • Bockwinkle was a great commish!  Perfect for the role
  • Why would anyone cut Missy's hair like that?
  • CLUBBERING!!!
  • Why did anyone think Steele was going to be a star?
  • He has boots on now!
  • Turner and Fonda there?
  • Worst finisher EVER!  I would take the knuckle to the head from Slaughter over this
  • Do you think Jane gave a damn about this show or Ted?
  • I do not remember Terry Taylor wrestling at this point in his career
  • Why is the Patriot getting a title shot in his debut?  I mean I love the Patriot but seriously?
  • Has anyone sold better than Regal?
  • Regal does the drop toe differently and is so believable
  • I wonder if this Ryzing guy will do anything in pro wrestling....
  • Really nice Tiltawhirl backbreaker
  • It is so weird that Tony calls Heenan "Bob"
  • Why is Anderson teaming with Watts a week fore his TV Title Match?
  • Erik Watts would be a star nowadays
  • Dear lord did you see how high Roma was!
  • Arn got a little cutsie in this match
  • Sonny needs to run away now
  • And he is going to be unbias on Superbrawl?  HE SHOULD BE FIRED!
  • Why would Steamboat skin the cat?  Hit the floor, get the DQ win and walk away!
  • The Barney Fife of WCW!
  • I think Sasha Banks needs to remember Ray Traylor is the only BOSS!
  • I wonder how good Rude would have been in an NXT coach type role
  • Rude with a leapfrog!  I do not remember him doing that often
Another great show!  Slightly too long at times, probably should have skipped the Vader interview and the Rhodes/Pillman interview but all really good matches.  Sure I could say things about the Steele match but it was short and it should have been!  Two big debuts, one for WCW for the next few years and one for the future.  Plus maybe Johnny B. Badds best match of his career!
