1994-02-05 WCW Power Hour

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you found this entry.  Once again we are going back to 1994, this time to the Power Hour edition from Feburary 5th.  Will we get a follow up on the Thunderdome match being postponed?  Let's go to the tape!

• Bischoff and Flair?  WHAT THE FUCK?  This was a drastic change in hosts
• Vader shoved the hell out of Ricky Steamboat!
• The Red Rooster is going to beat up Barry Goldberg....balls
• Taylor vs. Austin on Saturday Night?  Yes please!
• I do not remember Terry wrestling this late in his career, so odd
• Sugar Daddy almost looks like Ice Train.  He is a big man
• Dibacco is not a small man either!  
• I love that they have to make stuff up to cover up the fact that this match was taped prior to the unmasking on Saturday Night
• Road Dogg sure knew how to pick his trunks in 1994!
• I think both of these guys are vastly underrated.  The Godwinns are guilty pleasures
• Goof?  Vader?  Good grief you are going to get hurt very bad
• How do you not like Fried Chicken Bischoff?
• Pillman will pay for what he did to Col Parker!
• I was never a fan of Pillman, just never did it for me.  Not sure why because he was good but was always missing something for my taste
• Is that the worst "Indian War Dance" ever done in wrestling?
• I think I said this when this aired on Worldwide but this proves that Regal is one of the best ever with him making you believe Norris might win
• Sting vs. Regal on WCWSN?  Well I am looking forward to that show now!

I hate that the Power Hour is just Worldwide with new announcers but it is a good show.  I am really enjoying 1994 honestly....well aside from ECW thus far.  WCW has the best in-ring action.  SMW has the best angles and promos.  WWF is that warm spot for me because this is when my fandom was really growing for them...plus the Rocket Owen Hart!  USWA is Lawler and that is never a bad thing.  Then there is ECW.  Prove me wrong guys prove me wrong!

Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-29 Worldwide

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-03-28, We are finishing off January WCW shows with Worldwide.  Brian Pillman is on the show and Charlie Norris is taking on His Lordship Steven Regal! 

• Pillman just never did it for me as a babyface
• Man I love this Vader
• I like Cactus but man this team was just not good, and not because of Cactus!
• Payne was just sloppy 
• I liked the future team of Jack and Sullivan better, it just fit better
• It is interesting to see Terry Taylor on multiple shows this week.  I just do not remember him wrestling in 1994
• I always like TT, I think he was his own worst enemy.  Plus he ended up with shit stain
• Payne was in WCW off an on through 2000, he had a decent look aside from looking like Barry Goldberg/Jack Black
• Sting was finally starting to do decent promos in 1994
• If I could only watch one wrestler for the rest of life it would Steven Regal matches.  There honestly is none better in my opinion
• Norris hit those ropes weird
• Regal is just so damn smooth and makes it all look so damn good!
• Look how good Regal is making Norris look
• Norris never looked better than he did during this match, and that is because Regal is that damn good!

Not a great show aside from the Regal match.  He can make anyone, probably even me, look good in that ring.  Aside from that not worth checking out.  A very basic syndicated show.
