Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-27 Clash of the Champions

Good morning, good afternoon, Good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-03-26, we are going back to 1994 and the end of January for the Clash of the Champions!  Ric Flair and Sting take on Vader and Rick Rude.  Plus the match I am waiting for, Dustin Rhodes takes on favorite Steven Regal.  Let us go to the ring....

• BOB HEENAN IS HERE!  BEST DAY OF WCW EVER!!!
• I love that Bobby comes out with his classic one-liners, I know who the Assassin is....the guy in the mask
• I think I say this ever WCW show they are on, but why was Roma not a bigger star?  Has to be the attitude in the back right? 
• Those trunks on Scorpio & Bagwell were just awful!
• Nick Patrick was WAY out of position there
• Why would Orndorff go to the top?
• Wait...that finished Roma off?  Strange finish
• Ah there was an object in the knee pad, I missed that till the replay
• Weird they came back right on action, no intros or anything
• I always liked Ice Train, especially later on as MI Smooth
• Oh man I love Austin with is Southern Accent
• This is the match I was looking forward to!
• I love that Sir William is out there keeping track of the time
• I would pay to see this match today, they would be 10 times better than just about anything put on TV this week
• I do not understand why are none of the announcers wearing masks?
• I love that Bobby could do the serious type announcing and then talk about thumbing both eyes
• Bobby popped Gordan twice thus far
• This is why it was great to have Regal as TV champion.  Regal and Anderson were the best at making these matches
• THAT IS ILLEGAL!  Closed fists
• Regal knows what he is doing, he is keeping Rhodes off guard
• HE HIT SIR WILLIAM!!!  THAT IS DISGUSTING!
•  It is weird that they took Tony out of the booth for Gordan
• MMMM, Missy Hyatt!!
• I do love that Cactus clothesline over the top
• Payne does look like Cousin It!
• Not a great match, but what you expect with three of these men
• Missy better get some shots
• Those fans were booing Pillman winning?
• I love that Parker could wrestle like both a wrestler or a manager, he is woefully underrated
• What is that big hick doing getting involved?!  
• How entertaining was Austin back at this point
• WTF?  THAT WAS A THREE COUNT!
• This is maybe my favourite version of Vader, that 1993-1995 Vader.  The best shape and still had that killer instinct.  
• It is a shame Rick Rude got hurt in the near future of 1994, I think he could still be going otherwise
• Were Vader's best matches in the state with Sting?
• Name another big man that can take moves like that German like Vader did, I will wait
• Was this the best time period of Sting?  The Sting Squadron through Hogan showing up
• I love to hear Flair scream "Oh God" it was so perfect
• A vicious DDT by Rude
• Is Sting loopy here?  He seems really out of it

This was a good show with two great matches.  The two tag matches were okay.  The opening match was there and was really good when Pretty Wonderful was in charge.  Bagwell was still green and Scorpio is good at what he does.  Train and Simmons was just there and probably should not have been on TV yet.  Then you have the Regal/Rhodes match.  Like I said this could happen today and be better than most of the matches on TV.  Both of these men are top ten of all time in my opinion.  Then you had the Nastys match, which was what it was.  Exactly what you expect, sloppy and hard hitting and just the next chapter of their match match.  The chicken suit match was a storyline match but showed how great Parker was in the ring.  And the main event...man Vader was on fire and amazing.  Flair was in his prime.  Rude never looked better and Sting always stepped up with the right men in the ring with him.  Those four should have main event PPV against each other for years but we know who is coming in....brother.

1994-01-29 WCW Pro

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-06-26, I am checking out the Jan. 29th 1994 episode of WCW Pro.  I know these are a little out of order but it as I get them at times!  We have Johnny B. against Slazenger, Jim Steele in action and The Boss, Ric Flair and Sting against Ron Simmons, Steve Austin and Rick Rude from Saturday Night.  Enough talk lets get to the ring!

• Two underrated guys here
• The fans into JBB
• That was a quick match and sadly JBB kind of screwed up the finish
• This is the Vader we should have got in WWF.  Imagine if we had!
• MVP of WCW in 1994 Dustin Rhodes in the ring.  Throw in Regal and JBB and you had the men who carried the company in my opinion
• So this match will go 20 or so minutes and go 50-50 right?  Oh wait this is not 2020 my bad
• Another good showing for Dustin
• Surprised that Steele is not barefoot
• The Thesz Press is the WORST finisher ever
• If I was Al I would...well I would run
• Vader was a monster at this point.  Every time I see him here I think about what Vince should have done with him
• All six of these guys are in the HOF so think about the talent!
• I have said before how much I like Ray Traylor and this might be him as this best in the ring
• Same with Sting and Austin honestly
• If you had to draw what a wrestler looked like you would draw Rick Rude I think
• Fans want Sting, interesting that it is not flair.  But then again Flair as a face just never really worked
• Love the drop toe hold by Simmons and that Solie actually mentioned it
• A sunset flip by Boss?  The first time ever for that?

A decent show.  Nothing special and matches we have seen before but all decent matches.  The only thing I would say to hunt down would be the Vader match because he is so physical!

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!

RESULTS

• Cactus Jack/Maxx Payne def. Bob Cook/The Sheik via Submission
• Interview:  Steven Regal (TV Champion) & Sir William

Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-22 WCWSN

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-02-13, we are going back in time to 1994 to watch the Jan 22nd edition.  We are building to the Clash of the Champions and I am sure we will hear from Flair and Sting at least.  Enough talk its time to build that WCWSN cyborg!

• I love this version of Missy, I think I say that every time we see her
• Why is Missy wearing jeans, it looks weird
• They are really letting Starr shine
• CLUBBERING!!!!
• If it taking the Nastys this long to beat Oates and Starr they have no chance against Cactus and Maxx
• Listen to the crowd!  They are hot to trot!
• He is on every show, it is like his dad in charge or something!
• Seriously I would have Dustin on every show too because he is one of the best they have
• Why is Dustin getting 15 minutes?  TV Title time limit is supposed to 10.  Obviously, someone is out against his Lordship
• Another great Rhodes match!
• He does NOT speak for me Mean Gene
• TC was a hell of a bumper
• Ron Simmons is the mystery partner!
• We will see Ron Simmons with a cigar a lot in the future
• Is Steel trying to be Jimmy Snuka?
• Look at Bob's hair!
• The Thesz Press is a horrible looking move.  I mean...um....well it looks like they are having sex!
• Really?  Vader is talking about Flair's wife?
• Burton and Scorpio were not in sync there
• Was Austin drunk?  He was making weird faces during the entrance but also during he interview earlier
• What is up with the good guys and their weird long-delayed entrance
• That was the highest reverse atomic drop I have ever seen by Rude and the Boss!
• I think the way the Boss went over the top is one of my favorite bumps
• Sting with a Ron Simmons style powerslam to the man himself

Strangely as I went to post this I did not put any notes of my thoughts for the show so it is just the results!

Classic Wrestling: 1994-01-15 WCW Worldwide

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am going back to 1994 once again to check out WCW Worldwide from January 15th.  Being a syndicated show who knows who or what we will see so let us get to it!

• FLAIR VS. EATON!  YES PLEASE!
• Did Bobby always look the same?  He basically does now!
• Why would the World Champion open the show?
• It was always strange that Nick Patrick was as tall or taller than some of the wrestlers
• Both guys have kept trying the pinfalls after the other raised the shoulder.  Because they are trying to WIN the match not do a bunch of moves
• There is that Eaton right hand, the best in the business
• Babyface Flair is so weird
• Why would Eaton go for the knee knowing it could end up hurting you for the Figure Four?
• It is weird that some 20 plus years later Flair and Fifi get married
• It is so weird to hear them as other names other than Booker T and Stevie Ray
• I hope Harlem Heat returns to fight the Revival.  Just one more time against the best team in wrestling today
• Worst theme music ever!
• This in the ring camera work sucks
• It is almost vertigo-inducing
• Here comes the Stinger!  I wonder what kind of star he would have been had he gone to WWF at some point
• I wish Sting would have gone to WWE instead of TNA so we could have got some of those dream matches like Sting vs. Taker, Sting vs. Triple H, Sting vs. Orton, things like that when he could still go
• Young Fat Man used to love some of those Hard Copy stories like Sexy Swimsuits
• Four Hall of Famers in this main event
• For years I said Randy Orton had the perfect wrestlers body....that is because I forgot about Rick Rude in 1992-1994.  
• THAT IS A DQ!  What is wrong with Randy Anderson!!
• It was always interesting how into the matches the fans were when they were at Disney
• A belly to belly from Rude?  That is a first I think for Rude, at least for me seeing
• I loved Rick Rudes trunks over the years
• There was no finish?  Weird

A GREAT Show with two fantastic matches in the Flair and the tag match.  This is the best show of 1994 thus far easily.  Both of these matches are worth hunting down and checking out!

RESULTS

• Ric Flair (WCW World Champion) def. Bobby Eaton via Submission
• Segment  Harley Race & Vader
• Interview:  Kane & Kole
• History:  Paul Roma/Paul Orndorff vs. Marcus Bagwell/Too Cold Scorpio
• Shockmaster def. Denny Brown
• Interview:  Shockmaster
• Superbrawl Control Center
• Sting def. Nasty Ned via Submission
• Ron Simmons def. Scott Allen
• Interview:  Rick Rude (International Champion)
• Dustin Rhodes/Brian Pillman & Steve Austin (US Champion)/Rick Rude (International Champion) went to a time limit draw

Classic Wrestling: 1994-01-15 WCW Saturday Night

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am checking out the January 15th 1994 edition of WCW Saturday Night.  I believe we will see Steve Austin against Brian Pillman tonight if I remember correctly.  Beyond that, we are still building Ric Flair and Vader in rematches so it should be a good show.  Enough of my "talking" and let us get to the show!

• I do not know why but I love this "building" of a wrestler entrance for a wrestling show
• Wait, Erik Watts is a rising star for over two years now?  
• Jesse Ventura was still doing WCWSN at this point?
• They are in the wrong corners!  It is weird
• That was weird, Orndorff had no idea that Scorpio is going for a drop-down because of how high he jumped
• Orndorff just used Austin's finisher, it was a weird time in WCW
• I recently found out that Roma is the head trainer of a wrestling school.  Re-watching these matches makes me think he would be a hell of a trainer.  
• I wonder if they sweetened the crowd noise because the fans are really into this tag match
• Looked like Orndorff should have been knocked off the apron. 
• The future Scotty Riggs in the enhancement role again.  It would be another year or so before he became an American Male
• I always thought Ron was better as a heel.  I think it is that angry look he has
• While it is easy to relate to Simmons story, growing up and whatnot, it is hard to relate to being such an amazing athlete.  Some people will resent that
• Good grief Ron Simmons music was AWFUL!
• Strangely I always enjoyed Ice Train.  I am actually surprised WWE never picked him up because of his size and charisma
• Not the best sell job by the Train but I still like him!
• The only bad thing about Rhodes at this point in his career was his hair, it was horrible!
• How did WCW get away with using the Sheik name I wonder
• Bob Cook is bigger than I remember, he is as big as Cactus
• I wonder why and who thought Cactus and Maxx was a good team.  Probably their Similar brawling style
• Mick was not quite the master on the mic yet at this point was he
• It is too bad that Erik had the Watts name because he was not bad in the ring but never stood a chance with his dads name, kind of like David Flair
• Here comes my favourite of all time!  Every wrestler should study this man to see the master do it.  How is he not in the Hall of Fame?
• I do not know if it is Watts is a good performer or Regal could have a good match with anyone
• I love that Watts is focused on the STF, makes perfect sense
• I love the European Uppercut
• It is the subtle things that Regal does, like trying to get his arms up when Watts was coming off the top
• Its JBB vs. PIG....well the future PIG when he becomes a Godwinn
• Both of these guys are underrated I think.  Dennis Knight got stuck with that naked Mideon gimmick and will always be remembered for that most likely
• JBB needs himself a tag team partner
• NO NOT THE MASK!  Shanghai is too ugly to show the face!
• Austin's knee is hurt and that scumbag Pillman will not let him back up!
• Why would Pillman yell out the move and then go to the floor?  
• WHERE IS THE REF?!?!
• Did the ref forget how to count to 10?  
• What is up with the very unsmooth camera work?  
• It is so weird and smart that Jesse constantly brings up other sports personalities 
• This is actually a slower match than I would have thought but makes sense that Austin would want to slow things down
• DEAR LORD DID YOU HEAR THAT CHOP!
• Uggg, Johnny B. Badd's theme music is stuck in my head

Very good show.  I cannot really say anything bad about the show at all.  This is what WCW was good at, a very good solid show.  They did not have the HUGE star power that WWF had over the years but in the ring they were almost always better.  Good solid show worth checking out especially if you like Regal or Badd as both of them had great outtings.

Classic Wrestling Review: 1991-03-02 Power Hour

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am watching the March 2nd 1991 Power Hour!  WCW was not quite in its worst state yet but it was getting there.  Even though the Midnight Express are gone they still had some good tag teams yet the New Freebirds are your tag team champions at this point!  I was not watching WCW at this point so a lot of these matches and storylines are brand new to me.  And I get to watch Barry Windham take on El Gigante!  LETS GET TO THIS SHOW!!!

• I mocked that the Freebirds are champions and the first team I see is the Royal Family?  REALLY!
• It is not that the Royal Family is bad but good grief how did WCW let them run the Midnight Express off?
• That was AEW ugly!
• Paul E just mentioned the President of the United States first divorce!  
• Z-Man comes on and my dog starts growling...even he knows an overrated guy when he sees one!
• I always wondered how guys like Wright or Buddy Lee Parker made out money-wise back these days.  They were on almost every show!  Were they under contracts or just always brought in
• That was a horrible bump by Zenk
• Zenk is using the sleeper?  Interesting
• How is it that Dustin looks as good in 1991 as he does in 2019?  
• This enhancement talent is much better than half the AEW roster!
• Get showing by Dustin but he is always a highlight of any show
• That was supposed to show us Terry Taylor did not care about the match?  I do not get it
• It is odd to think that Hayes thought he was over in 1991
• Why did Doom try to cheat?  It does not make sense!  Just to break the team up I guess but just have a botched move
• Yeah Thad Clark stands a chance....oh wait
• This match has already taken too long, should be a boot followed by a powerbomb
• ANDERSON HAS A STESCOPE!  
• Nice showcase for Stinger and The Total Package
• Here is the match I cannot wait to see!  El Gigante in action!!
• 30 seconds...perfect use of the giant!
• Loved that they made the giant seem dangerous by breaking Windham open with the claw

This is a perfect example of why WCW never really took off minus the brief nWo run.  Their roster was still good yet we see El Gigante, Z-Man and the Royal Family.  I know they have to try to make stars but when you have Terry Taylor, Bobby Eaton, Ricky Morton, Brad Armstrong, Sting, Luger, Flair, Anderson, Windham, Zbyszko, the Steiners to name a few without really thinking something is wrong!  The bright point of this match was, like I said above, Rhodes.  Go back and watch anything with Dustin Rhodes and tell me he is not the MVP of every promotion he is in!  I will wait.  Okay I lied I will not but its true.  Until next time....Abyssinia!

1991-01-30 Clash of the Champions Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am checking out the first Clash of the Champions from 1991 which is headlined by Ric Flair defending his title against Scott Steiner.  Sting and Lex Luger face Doom for the Tag Titles.  This was one of the low points of WCW according to most.  I was not watching WCW at this point and I am not sure if I have ever watched this event so let's go to the tape!

• Uggg, one of those horns are really off!
• That was a sour note if I ever heard one!
• Sting's entrance music starts off sounding almost like the Time Warp, never noticed that before
• The fans are hot and that place does look packed like Jim Ross said
• Luger with a leapfrog!  I do not think I have seen him do that before
• I like that these guys do not make it look like they are cooperating with each other
• So Pee Wee did not see Spivey attack?
• Damn I could watch Missy Hyatt read me the phone book!
• So Eaton's music is people chanting his name?
• Uggg, no wrestler should wear those baby blue trunks
• Really?  Hyatt and Dangerously is a long-awaited anything JR?
• It is sad to think about all the guys that Eaton had to put over that he was SO much better than
• Yeah, when these two are on your main show going against the Freebirds your roster is kind of thin
• All those who think the Freebirds are losing stand on your heads
• I remember in the only good WCW game Hayes finisher was that bulldog.  I loved that game!
• The lights in the Teepee?  Come on JR!
• Kind of made the Freebirds look weak only winning because the ref missed the tag
• Why is Paul in the tiny window and Dusty in the big window?
• Joey Maggs?  Really?  He has NEVER won a match and is on the Clash?
• Oh well it is against Sid so that makes sense
• This one makes sense because they needed to continue to have Sid look dominate.  Too bad they did not feed him Z-Man but he is still the TV champ
• I love his powerbomb, dropping down to his knee making it look even more vicious....no pun intended
• Why is Taylor the Computerized Man if he is not part of the York Foundation yet?
• I always thought that Taylor looked better with the short hair, made him standout
• Ugly finish for sure
• Ranger Ross just had a weird look to him
• Hello ladies!
• Two of the best of all time in the Horsemen
• The Renegade Warriors did have weird charisma
• I LOVE ARN ANDERSONS STUN LOOK!
• I know Dusty had to shill for the show but Scott Steiner vs. Ric Flair is not the greatest World Title match on TV ever Dream!
• Best move ever!  Double A spinebuster
• Vader and Stan were great, I miss guys like that in wrestling
• Buddy Lee Parker?  Seriously?
• Who did Buddy Lee have blackmail footage on to keep his job all those years in WCW?
• What in the blue hell was Buddy Lee doing?
• That was pointless....well there were two points....
• Why is Kevin Sullivan there...oh others besides the Horsemen are there
• Worst cheerleaders ever after what we just saw
• Flair has already made Scotty look like a star
• Weird to see Flair in yellow trunks
• It is weird to see Scotty Steiner like this given how he looked 10 years later as Big Poppa Pump
• I never felt Flair's Figure Four was that dangerous as people constantly fought out of it.  Did he ever win a major match via submission with it without something else happening first?
• Flair's punches are underrated
• Flair is flopping around like a fish after that Tiger Driver
• Why is Nick Patrick letting Rick Steiner get involved so much?

Overall this was an okay show.  The stars were good and all the wrestling...well minus the Z-Man match...was fine but it felt like something was missing.  What I cannot say.  The show was just there ya know.  The crowd was hot but nothing was special ya know.  Felt like the show never left first gear and that everyone was just there not really giving 100%.  Overall a fine show but nothing to go out of your way to watch

1991-02-09 Worldwide

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you found this entry.  Today I am checking out the Feb. 9th 1991 edition of WCW Worldwide.  I have no idea where we are at in WCW at this point so I am going in blind.  I did not follow WCW at this point and I am randomly selecting shows as I move data around so let us go to the tape and see what we see shall we!

• Tony Schiavone and Gordon Solie?  
• Ric Flair on the show wrestling?  Interesting
• I like the "will beat this person in x time" that they did
• I think Terri was even better looking back then, without those life preservers ha ha
• If I ran a wrestling company I would make my stars watch these shows every day.  See what wrestling should be like
• I wonder if it is true that people would leave if they saw their names next to the Steiners
• It is weird to see Rick without the headgear, so very weird
• I hate that top rope DDT
• Poor Enhancement talent does not even get his name on TV
• That was sloppy and could have broken the kids shoulder
• Dissension amoungst Doom!
• Why did Reed put on a shirt?
• Love Simmons powerslam
• Windham's hair is so weird
• This was a weird heel vs. heel match; yes it is to build to a Doom breakup but still weird
• Nice to see a young Kevin Nash
• Look how Nash towers over everyone in the ring
• What was with Nash's hair?  Is that a mullet?
• It is weird to think that Tommy Rich was the NWA Champion not being around that time period and only know this Tommy Rich and going forward
• The Thesz press is the worst finisher of all time I think
• Wow, Flair is facing a true job guy!
• Imagine if this kid has injured Naitch, can you imagine?
• Sad to see Dirty Dutch as basically enhancement
• How great is Rogers with the pigtails

Another show from WCW that just did not seem to have direction.  No real talk of Wrestle War during the show even though that is where they should be going.  5/8 of the main event were on the show and not once was it mentioned by the commentators.  That was the problem with WCW, they put out shows with matches but never really had direction.  The wrestlers usually worked hard but the office just never had its stuff together

1990-11-24 Worldwide

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry. Tonight I am checking out a late 1990 WCW Worldwide.  This was late in the Black Scorpion storyline.  You also have Doom as the tag team champs and Stan Hansen as the US Champion.  Let us see what Worldwide had for us at that point.  (If you want to see the results scroll down to the end)

• I do love Dirty Dutch on announcing
• Doom was a hell of a tag-team
• Weird, Flair did not say a thing there
• So weird to see Ron Simmons throw a dropkick
• Ugly looking piledriver
• Aside from the snap powerslam that Randy Orton/Dustin Rhodes do I love Simmons version
• Brian Pillman could not talk at this point
• So weird that Morton kept the RNR gear at this point but Rich did not do something similar
• How bad is wildfires hair at this point?
• It is weird to think that Ricky Morton is currently the NWA Tag Team Champions with Robert Gibson
• I cannot watch this knowing where the Black Scorpion story goes without thinking it had such potential
• I wish I saw more Stan Hansen, this brief period in WCW I really enjoyed
• Paul E was good even back in the day
• Weird to see Mr Hughes in regular wrestling gear
• I always loved Rip Rogers hair and dark beard
• Zenk just was not that good in the ring and I am surprised Rip never got more of a push
• However, that was a pretty good top rope crossbody
• Such a weird team, Landell and the Moondog
• It is sad to think about how good Buddy could have been if Buddy did not always get in his own way
• I know people love the Big Poppa Pump version of Scotty but this was my favourite, 90-93
• Look how think the Nastys are!!
• How many Nature Boys did WCW have?  Flair...Lee...Landell all at once!

I do not know why but I didn't enjoy that as much as I do the older WWF shows.  Maybe because I was watching WWF at the time so I have fond memories.  Maybe because WCW/NWA had lesser characters.  But aside from the Main Event tag team match (the Steiners match) this show as just there for me.  I just do not and did not care about most of the guys on the card and I think that sums up WCW/NWA in 1990!
