1994-02-19 WCW Saturday Night


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever you have found this entry.  Today I am checking out the Saturday Night before Superbrawl!  Flair will be here I am sure and so will Vader I am guessing.  I have no idea what is going to be on the show but I think it is time to go find out!
  • The Boss...how did WWF not stop this the moment he showed up on TV?
  • Why is "Jungle" from the Everglades?
  • I love that Heenan just commented about the Everglades and Jungle thing
  • Did Steele just use the Stinger Splash?  Now we know why he did not stick around long
  • Worst finisher ever!
  • Payne was not what you would call a great promo was he?
  • A brush your teeth chant!
  • I love that the brush your teeth chant is still going for Missy
  • I wonder if they Nastys were as sloppy as they appear
  • And the Nastys get the win with the worst looking elbow ever
  • Did Ray Traylor have that much of an accent in WWF?  I feel like he hid it for Vince
  • I was always a big fan of The Patriot and really enjoyed his run in WCW
  • Regal challenging the Patriot!  That is why Regal is the greatest TV champ ever!!
  • Hell of a dropkick!
  • Did Santana ask Scotty Steiner for his 1990 ring gear?
  • A big win for the Patriot with the Uncle slam and looks good
  • Bagwell vs. Booker T, the match that ruined WCW in 2002!
  • Was 1994 the best year for tag teams in WCW since they left the NWA?  
  • THAT SHOULD BE A DQ!  Booker went over the top!!!
  • Heat was much more of a brawling team here before they renamed them to Booker and Stevie Ray
  • Scorpio killed himself!
  • I do love this version of Vader, 92-94
  • Vader looks like he kills people yet you hear stories he does not.  
  • It is so odd that Parker had a job for another 7 years but guys like Bobby Eaton would not
  • Weird, the teams are in wrong corners in my mind
  • I always like Lightning as Cobra, thought he was underrated
  • I do not remember a shoulder breaker in the past from Boss
  • Second best piledriver in wrestling!
  • It is amazing how much Brian's son looks like him.  It is like looking at a clone!
  • Jesus that was a little graphic for 1994!
  • This Mauler is AWFUL!
This felt like a very long show and very little movement, which is to be expected.  They have a big PPV tomorrow night but a really long AWFUL main event did not help.  Honestly this show was not good to be honest.  I cannot recommend anything on this show.
