1994-02-19 Superstars

 


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-11-15, we are going back to 1994 to check out a mid-February Superstars.  We are building up to the tenth anniversary of Wrestlemania...although without a sign to point to how do we know?  Anywho I am sure we will hear from at least one Hart Brother and the champions mouthpiece James E. Cornette, so enough talking I think it is time to go to the.....mp4
  • IT IS THE KING OF HARTS!!!  Wait.....spoilers
  • Owen vs. Marty?  Yes, please!
  • Cheap shot?  Marty was probably drunk and fell down Vince!
  • A HANDFUL OF HAIR BY MARTY!  HE IS A CHEATER!!
  • Oh man I loved Owen's belly to belly
  • I like that these guys are trying for pinfalls after big moves, unlike today, it is about winning
  • The man who invented the Sharpshooter with another win
  • Oh that suit Vince is wearing, exactly what I think of seeing Vince in
  • JOHNNY POLO!!!
  • How is it Scotty Taylor looked older in 1994 then he did in 1998-99
  • Vince sounds so annoyed with Polo and I love it
  • Can you imagine if we had Madusa in her prime with some of the current stars.  Her vs. Bailey or Charlotte or Becky or.....did Polo just call her a sexy little tart?!?!
  • Nothing to write home about in that match, this is why the division just never took off in 1994 sadly
  • I always like Todd.  He always seemed so excited and genuine
  • I would have liked to see Quake take on Borga, I think that would have been a trainwreck of a match
  • Booger looks MUCH better with that haircut!
  • I do not remember Quake being announced from Canada except for when he was the Canadian Earthquake
  • Actually, the only chance you have against Quake is to attack early and quickly Vick!
  • I love to see Quake throw that dropkick, always one of my favorites especially during this mid 90's
  • I love me some Cornette!
  • WHAT IN THE HELL IS HE THERE FOR?  Luger has no right to be there this is Cornette and Company's time!
  • On the Take Tunney is clean this time?  I think not!
  • Way too much offense on Big Daddy Cool.  He should have been destroying people in 30 seconds still at this point in 1994
  • I loved WWF Royal Rumble game back in the day!
A really good show!  I love Polo and "Vick" on commentary!  The opening main event between Owen and Marty was really good, I could watch more matches between those two.  Kwang, Quake and Big Daddy were great.  I felt bad for Madusa as they did not have much for her at this point.  This felt amazingly quick and I could not believe the show was over when it was.  A really fun show

1994-01-01 Mania

 


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....and today we are going back in time to 1994.  I recently found a collection of 1994 Mania so I am going back to the New Year despite being into March typically.  So let's go watch Mania, which is the UK version!
  • I forgot how goofy this show was...and I love it!
  • Polo was in awesome shape!
  • I miss atomic drops!
  • I had Polo fever once, the shots suck
  • A fair and square win for Polo after Jannetty attacked Pierre!
  • Howard Finkle is doing an interview?  That is rare!
  • I love the chemistry between Savage and Pettengill
  • I miss guys like Mike Sharpe and the Brawler and Barry Horowitz
  • Scotty 2 Hotty!!
  • Weird to think that in six years Scotty would be one of the most over guys in the company with Rikishi and Grandmaster!
  • Double J was one of my favourites...well still is
  • I love Gorilla bashing Double J's misspeak, he gave no fucks at this point 
  • Well over a half-hour, had to be at least 20 minutes!  I love Savage!
  • Speaking of "The Winner" it is Bad Barry Horowitz!
  • I am shocked to see Flexy Lexxy give Bad Barry this much offence
  • I think this was the best version of Shawn in-ring wise.  I know people will argue but I take the 92 till Wrestlemania 12 version personally
  • You did not see Shawn do a Russian Legsweep often
  • I was always a fan of Savio Vega....Kwang not so much
  • Was there a more talented guy in the ring than Razor who never actually achieved his peak?
  • I do not remember seeing Razor do that fallaway slam from the buckles often
  • How is Danny Davis officiating?  I thought he was banned for life!  Gorilla is right Tunney needs to be impeached
  • Why did we not get Savage & Pettengill vs. Fuji & Crush?  I would have paid to see that!
Obviously, this is mostly a clip show and reshowing matches from other shows but it is fine.  Todd and Randy were very fun to watch.  I know people do not like 1994 stuff but wrestling was fun and made sense!  Watching these shows reminds me why I became a fan.

RESULTS

  • Interview:  Crush & Mr. Fuji
