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

1994-02-06 Wrestling Challenge Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, we are going back, once again, to 1994.  This time it is for WWF Wrestling Challenge.  We are just after the Royal Rumble and on the road to WRESTLEMANIA!  Enough talk let us go to the ring!

• Love that we start with Owen!  WHOO!
• What?  Gorilla you are insane!  OWEN IS THE BEST!
• Never noticed they use the Superstars graphics,...wonder if this was supposed to air on that show
• I HATE DINK!
• I always felt like making Doink a face was a mistake.  But then again Matt was kind of insane
• Doink with an STF, surprised Ross did not call it that
• WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL ALPHONSO?  
• No wonder Bill stopped being an official and became a manager, he is awful!
• Bigelow is so underrated
• How is this not a DQ?
• Now Ross is upset that Luna is in there?  When it was Dink it was okay?
• YES!  Pull a King Kong Bundy and squash the midget!
• DAMN IT!
• I miss characters like Savage
• Brad is in trouble I think!
• You are not fooling anyone Bret, you are scared because you have held Owen down all along!
• I wonder why Adams never got a run with a title aside from the tag titles with Demolition
• Did you hear that chop?  Good grief
• Jim Ross should not rap!
• The Future Viscera was not great back in 1994
• Can you imagine seeing that leg coming down at you?  No thank you!
• I do love hearing Corny cut a promo!

An okay show.  Nothing major came out of it other than the continuation of Bam Bam and Doinks feud.  I wonder if this was their way of writing Dink out of the storylines....no I know it is not because we have to have all the Dinks and Winks and Pinks at Survivor Series (oh....spoilers huh?).  Anyway, an okay show.  Nothing special but we are just getting on the road to Wrestlemania so we have time!  Until next time...Abyssinia!

Classic Review: 1994-01-17 Raw

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you find this entry!  Today, 2020-02-07, we are going back into the time machine to check out the Raw from January 17 1994.  I know that from MSG it is the Quebecers challenging the tag team champs 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty.  Besides that who knows so lets get to the ring!

• I love how you can barely understand Vince at times when he gets too excited
• Man I miss the Raw girls at time
• Crush?  Why is here there?
• Oh that is right Savage is in action tonight against IRS
• OWEN!  Its the not quite king yet Owen Hart
• Man I miss seeing the Rocket King in action every time I see the old shows with him
• Terry here is not a great performer at all.  That monkey flip was ugly with two g's
• It is taking Owne way too long to beat Austin here but I love it because I get to watch Owen
• I love the slight heel tones, great foreshadowing
• George South, one of the best enhancement talent around
• Watching these old shows show that it used to be made to look like a fight.  It was not all perfect and that is a good thing yet it did not look sloppy
• DO NOT SAY THAT WORD VINCE!
• How great was "Scared" Yokozuna.  Another man who left us way too early!
• Good grief did you see that Raw girl!  I would take them over the Nitro girls any day!
• The build of Big Daddy Cool has begun
• Two of my favorites here.  IRS is one of the best ever that just does not get talked about enough
• Crush is actually doing pretty good on commentary
• What is wrong with Savage?  Going after Crush for no reason
• What did you expect having him at ringside Vince, it is your own fault!
• Yeah sending out Bill Alfonso is the best route to stop Crush and IRS
• YES!  Yoko is going to end Savage before he can get to the Rumble

A good show here building to the Rumble.  Hot finish with a good brawl.  The only complaint I can see is that the two squash matches went a little too long.  I would cut each of those matches and maybe put in another match or an interview with Razor or something like.  The big thing I noticed is that everything looked good and like a fight.  It does not look like they are working together!  Until next time....Abyssinia!
