1994-02-19 USWA

 


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-11-21, Survivor Series Eve, I am going back to 1994 and checking out some USWA action.  I am sure we will see some Gilberts and Lawler interactions.  Beyond that, I have no clue so enough speculation, it is time to see what one of the last few territories had for us on February 19th, 1994!
  • The video quality for this episode is not great
  • You do not really hear from Big Vito anymore at this point really
  • This video quality is just about unwatchable but I will do my best
  • So weird they were doing a German gimmick in 1994, did anyone hate the Germans at this point?
  • Did Skull just use the tights?  So weird and where is Big Business Brown?
  • Are they really going to do magic?  That is not going to get this kid over
  • Why would Del Rios and Bert let this happen?  Makes no sense
  • It can not be much of a club if Bert is back on his feet after several shots
  • Hot Stuff is on!
  • I love the drunk talk, love it.  Personal attacks are great and make for the best heat
  • Why was Koko still in his High Energy gear?  It is so weird
  • GHOSTBUSTER...wait...it is called the Birdbuster now?
  • That 3rd one looked vicious!
  • Eddie Marlin never backed down, did he?  Probably should have
  • Koko was in pretty good shape at this point
  • PG-13 is an underrated tag team especially for their size
  • I never really liked the Moondogs or their gimmick
  • I feel like it is a shame that Eddie Gilbert never got a better run with a major company, he was so good especially on the mic
  • I love the Brian Christopher laugh!!
  • Brian and Jerry look SO much alike!
  • Why would anyone want that van?  
  • It is too bad we did not get to see more Lawler in WWF at this point, he was still so good and smooth
  • THE STRAP IS DOWN!!!
  • Look how happy those fans are!
  • Eddie's reaction was fantastic to the loss
  • Just when you thought Eddie was down and out Hot Stuff had an ace up his sleeve
  • I love this near-insane version of Hot Stuff
  • The Lawler & Hot Stuff stuff feels so real it is fantastic
These shows are mostly about getting people down to the Mid-South Colosseum each week and I tell you it does it!  I want to get there to see Hot Stuff and Lawler in a few days!  Aside from the Lawler/Christopher vs. the Gilbert stuff not a lot great stuff.  The Skull Von Crush/Del Rios stuff is just silly.  I kind of like heel Koko but it is all about the Lawler stuff and it makes sense.  Worth checking out for the Lawler/Hot Stuff stuff if you can find a better version then I have!
