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
