1994-02-12 USWA

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  It is August 29, 2020 and I am hoping into the way back machine to February 12th 1994 to check out USWA wrestling.  Territory time and I am willing to bet we will see some Jerry Lawler, some Brian Christopher, probably some Gilberts and most likely some bad promos!  I think we should go to the tape to find out if I am right!

• USWA/Memphis has some really bad managers
• USWA had some great brawls over the years
• I wonder how good it felt to give Brian that jacket in the ring
• That one Moondog makes these matches x-rated with his titties flopping around
• Did they catch that Moondog putting his blade into his pocket?
• Is this a recap show?  I feel like I have seen these matches
• For a guy who did not see Koko prior to the WWF a heel Koko seems so weird

A very odd show.  I think something must have happened prior to this show and they had to create a recap show.  My version of the show starts off with no sound briefly so I don't know if Cory said anything about it.  Not much to say about this because of the oddness of it honestly.

Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-22 SMW

Good morning, good afternoon good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-02-09, we are going back in time once more this time to the Smoky Mountains.  We are going to watch the January 22nd SMW show.  Las time Cornette attacked Ricky Morton's dad so I am sure there will be hell to pay!

• It is so weird that Cornette hated this style match but yet it is happening on his own show
• That kid just ran from the Moondog.  Now they would be laughing because no one believes
• If Candido came around now he would be one of the biggest stars going
• Ron White is coming back!  The fans will love that
• Good solid match by Spicolli, just another guy who left us too early
• Wait, did he just shake hands with the ref?  Obviously Mark Curtis is on the take!
• Dr. Tom sounds so much like Piper
• How great is Corny?
• Good grief look at this!  Is that the Yeti?
• Nice we get to hear Daryl Van Horne on commentary!
• Damn I miss Candido in the ring
• I feel like if White Boy was in better shape he would have had a better run in WWF
• There was almost a full moon with Tammy!

A good show for SMW.  Obviously building to Sunday Bloody Sunday with the Chain Match and the Cornette group.  I love how real it seemed between Cornette and the Rock N Roll.  It did not seem like a wrestling angle or people playing mad.  Also how hokey, and done on purpose, is the Prince.  Overall a fun show and I do enjoy me some SMW and old school wrestling!  Until next time.....Abyssinia!

Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-15 Smokey Mountain

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever you find this entry.  Today we are going back to 1994 once more this time to the Smokey Mountains for the Leader of the Cult of Cornette's own promotion.  I have not seen a lot of SMW so I am extra excited about this.  Lets stop the talking and get to it shall we!

• I do love the theme to SMW and the team of Bob and Dirty Dutch
• AEW would love to have that hot a crowd....so would WWE for that matter
• Ricky Morton against Chris Candido?  YES PLEASE!
• If this interviewer does not say 90's I do not know what does!
• THERE IS MY CULT LEADER!  CORNY!
• Is Cornette the best talker in wrestling history?
• So weird to see someone being cheered draped in the Stars and Bars!
• Listen to those fans!!
• Great to see Tracey Smothers who is currently battling lymphoma.  He is going to beat it like he did Victory here
• Strange that WWF could not use Candido better, even though I enjoyed Skip and Sunny
• Dirty White Boy was not the best interview but you believed what he said!
• Daryl Van Horn!  The most underrated manager I think, be it Van Horn, Sinister Minister or all the other names he has gone by
• This should be a hell of a match!
• Spiked Candido on his head with that head scissors!
• It is weird that Ricky looks almost the same today as he did in 1994
• Well....that match was not what I wanted.  A countout really?
• Notice we have seen on superkick this whole show
• Wow Doug should never have been given a mic
• OH MY GOD A YOUNG TAMMY!!!!
• Sorry got distracted there
• Brian Lee just looks like a moron, he has such a puncha.....sorry got distracted as Tammy was getting out of the ring....a punchable face
• Blaze should NOT have worn those trunks

Great storylines but not a lot of great wrestling but that is old school southern wrestling.  The TV was about making you want to go to the matches and man did those fans want to be there!  Loved hearing Corny and Bob is such an underrated announcer.  A fun show but not the classic wrestling that I was hoping for but this was a new year and new feuds so there is always "next week".
