1994-02-12 WCW Pro

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you found this entry. Today, 2020-08-17, I am getting in my way back machine to go to WCW Pro from the 12th of February 1994.  I have no idea what is going to be on the show so I think we should just jump right into it!

• Ah yes Flair and Vader and the bait and switch and bait again for the match
• Two very underrated guys here, Badd and Rogers
• If you do not follow Rogers on Twitter you should but it is NOT safe for work or young children!
• Both of these guys are fantastic and such great characters
• Its too bad Mero could not get a character in WWF that worked because he could have been a star I think
• Another guy that I think we looked down on back in 1994 but today would be a star.  Roma looks good and is smooth in the ring, but he was just average when he was active.  What does that say about this generation?
• Kendall is a little goofy looking
• Roma was just a generation too soon
• I always like Nasty Ned on these enhancement matches
• And Mick is Mick, how can you not like him!
• What is Payne wearing?
• Some miscommunication there between Mick and Tony....or Tony sandbagged him!
• I wonder if there are recordings of the old WCW Hotline, I would love to hear them
• 5 really strong wrestlers and Frankie who is that not bad at all!
• I do not understand how Brad was not a star at this point, just makes no sense!
• Orndorff went for a drop kick?
• Think about it, four of the six guys in this match should be in any Hall of Fame!
• Is Rude the perfect looking man to be a pro wrestler?  Tall, tan, muscular and so well proportioned.  As someone to draw a pro wrestler and it is Rude
• So weird it is Brad that is doing the selling most of the time
• I love that Terry just explained why Brad has been in the ring so much
• Look how happy Rude is in the corner!

A repeat show from Worldwide "last week" but all good matches.  WCW and SMW are the highlights of 1994 6 weeks in.  ECW and WWF (minus the Rocket King) need to step up damn it!

Classic Wrestling: 1994-01-15 WCW Worldwide

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am going back to 1994 once again to check out WCW Worldwide from January 15th.  Being a syndicated show who knows who or what we will see so let us get to it!

• FLAIR VS. EATON!  YES PLEASE!
• Did Bobby always look the same?  He basically does now!
• Why would the World Champion open the show?
• It was always strange that Nick Patrick was as tall or taller than some of the wrestlers
• Both guys have kept trying the pinfalls after the other raised the shoulder.  Because they are trying to WIN the match not do a bunch of moves
• There is that Eaton right hand, the best in the business
• Babyface Flair is so weird
• Why would Eaton go for the knee knowing it could end up hurting you for the Figure Four?
• It is weird that some 20 plus years later Flair and Fifi get married
• It is so weird to hear them as other names other than Booker T and Stevie Ray
• I hope Harlem Heat returns to fight the Revival.  Just one more time against the best team in wrestling today
• Worst theme music ever!
• This in the ring camera work sucks
• It is almost vertigo-inducing
• Here comes the Stinger!  I wonder what kind of star he would have been had he gone to WWF at some point
• I wish Sting would have gone to WWE instead of TNA so we could have got some of those dream matches like Sting vs. Taker, Sting vs. Triple H, Sting vs. Orton, things like that when he could still go
• Young Fat Man used to love some of those Hard Copy stories like Sexy Swimsuits
• Four Hall of Famers in this main event
• For years I said Randy Orton had the perfect wrestlers body....that is because I forgot about Rick Rude in 1992-1994.  
• THAT IS A DQ!  What is wrong with Randy Anderson!!
• It was always interesting how into the matches the fans were when they were at Disney
• A belly to belly from Rude?  That is a first I think for Rude, at least for me seeing
• I loved Rick Rudes trunks over the years
• There was no finish?  Weird

A GREAT Show with two fantastic matches in the Flair and the tag match.  This is the best show of 1994 thus far easily.  Both of these matches are worth hunting down and checking out!
