Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-22 Worldwide


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry. Today, 2020-02-22, we are going back to 1994 once more to check out the January 22nd edition of WCW Worldwide!  We are going to see HOGAN in action for the first time in 1994....well his brother Randy Hogan.  Too Cool and Marcus Bagwell are here.  The Nastys are in action as are the Cole Twins and others.  So enough chit chat lets go down to Disney and the spinning ring!
  • The Godwinns on the way to the ring
  • Seriously what kind of tattoo is that that Brian James has?
  • Plus with his hair like that he looks so much like his daddy Bullet Bob
  • The Godwinns are a guilty pleasure of mine, I always like them either as hog farmers or the Texicans as The Body says
  • Why are the people in the background doing the Public Enemy wave?
  • It did not look like Sandlin did not help with that suplex
  • Is it weird that Sting took his new finisher from a lower mid-card tag team in WCW?  I am sure others did the move but the first people I saw do it was this duo
  • I never did like Pillman's interviews
  • They decide to recap this feud?  Z-Man and DDP?
  • Poor Erik, never got a chance because of his name.  He was not bad but pushed way too quickly by daddy
  • Uggg, I hate that underhook arm drag
  • That STF looks as good as Cena's....not sure if that is a good or bad thing
  • The Cole Twins just never clicked did they?
  • Really?  That is their finish?
  • Where is Missy...oh there she is...how did I miss those....er....her
  • The Nastys are just that are they not?  I wonder how much working was done with them back in the day
  • Look at that old lady dance!
  • Jesse with quite a few AWA references
  • Wait....they just did the Cole Twins finisher!  Did they not watch the other matches?
  • That suplex was not quite perfect!  BAM!
  • THERE HE IS!  THE NOT IMMORTAL HOGAN!!
  • Why did they bill him from LA and not Venice Beach?
  • Dear lord look at that strength by Vader!
  • HOGAN KICKED OUT!  WATCH OUT FOR THE BOOT VADER!
  • HOGAN KICKED OUT AGAIN!
  • Interesting, it was not quite the moonsault
  • Why is Flair in the back?
  • Wait....Fifi is there?  But Mean Gene just teased on the Hotline that Fifi had disappeared
  • Ummm, the World does not have corners Naitch!
A very good show this week minus the Cole Twin match.  Sorry they were just very basic.  It shows that the 1994 WCW Roster had amazing tag teams.  Also, is this the best we ever saw Vader?  That 1992-mid 1994 Vader was amazing.  He could move, he could talk, you had Harley out there with him.  I would love to pluck that Vader and put in here in 2020 and let him be him.  Damn that would be amazing with some of the athletes we have now in wrestling!  Overall nothing to seek out but the Vader match is fun because it is Hogan ;)
