1994-02-19 SMW

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you found this entry.  Today, 2020-11-11, I am checking out the next SMW show from February 19th, 1994.  I am sure Jimmy Cornette will be all over the show which is a good thing so I say let us go to the tape!

• That is why Larry never talked before
• Was that Uncle Les Thatcher?
• Michaels was wrestling before this was he not?  I feel like he was no Memphis TV but could be the same time frame
• Bobby Blaze always looked old even when he was young
• Weird that Blaze did not try to come in, did he get lost there?  Seems like it
• Lance is the first person to talk?  No Y2J?
• I love that Prichard was basically talking like Roddy Piper
• So weird that this is our main event!
• Nice edit to cover up something

Not a great show unfortunately from a viewer standpoint.  If you were in the territory though it was hot.  The highlights making you want to go to the next show was perfect.  This is what is missing in wrestling.  I have no reason to watch next weeks show now but back then I would have wanted to make sure I was in Hazard or wherever.

Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-15 Smokey Mountain

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever you find this entry.  Today we are going back to 1994 once more this time to the Smokey Mountains for the Leader of the Cult of Cornette's own promotion.  I have not seen a lot of SMW so I am extra excited about this.  Lets stop the talking and get to it shall we!

• I do love the theme to SMW and the team of Bob and Dirty Dutch
• AEW would love to have that hot a crowd....so would WWE for that matter
• Ricky Morton against Chris Candido?  YES PLEASE!
• If this interviewer does not say 90's I do not know what does!
• THERE IS MY CULT LEADER!  CORNY!
• Is Cornette the best talker in wrestling history?
• So weird to see someone being cheered draped in the Stars and Bars!
• Listen to those fans!!
• Great to see Tracey Smothers who is currently battling lymphoma.  He is going to beat it like he did Victory here
• Strange that WWF could not use Candido better, even though I enjoyed Skip and Sunny
• Dirty White Boy was not the best interview but you believed what he said!
• Daryl Van Horn!  The most underrated manager I think, be it Van Horn, Sinister Minister or all the other names he has gone by
• This should be a hell of a match!
• Spiked Candido on his head with that head scissors!
• It is weird that Ricky looks almost the same today as he did in 1994
• Well....that match was not what I wanted.  A countout really?
• Notice we have seen on superkick this whole show
• Wow Doug should never have been given a mic
• OH MY GOD A YOUNG TAMMY!!!!
• Sorry got distracted there
• Brian Lee just looks like a moron, he has such a puncha.....sorry got distracted as Tammy was getting out of the ring....a punchable face
• Blaze should NOT have worn those trunks

Great storylines but not a lot of great wrestling but that is old school southern wrestling.  The TV was about making you want to go to the matches and man did those fans want to be there!  Loved hearing Corny and Bob is such an underrated announcer.  A fun show but not the classic wrestling that I was hoping for but this was a new year and new feuds so there is always "next week".
