Random to see Wahoo here on WWF TV. Did Tatanka legitimately team with Wahoo at any point? Decent emotion shown by Tatanka here. I wonder at what point did they decide to turn him heel.

[1994-03-06-WCW-Main Event] Steve Austin vs Brian Pillman
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
I don't get why Dustin threw Parker inside the ring. He could have just beat him up outside the ring if he felt like. Decision ends up being a no contest so didn't cost Pillman a loss but still was pretty dumb to me. Good match for what it was. Too bad Schiavone wasn't doing commentary when Jesse regarding the manager licenses as Jesse would have went off on him.- 5 replies

[1994-03-05-SMW-TV] Tracy Smothers vs Tom Prichard
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
This was a better TV match than Bret/Pritchard though would have liked a few more minutes. Great camera zoom in on Cornette's face as he shows his dissatisfaction. -
[1994-03-05-SMW-TV] Music Video: The Thrillseekers
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
No horse riding or bumper cars here so not as good as the last video. Justing working out in the gym. Close ups of muscles and all but of course after their workout they hook up with two random chicks back at the hotel. -
[1994-03-05-SMW-TV] Dick Murdoch and Bob Armstrong
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Is the 94 clothesline in reference to anyone particular? Great promo by Armstrong. Just love the way he talks. -
[1994-03-05-SMW-TV] Loser Leaves Town announcement
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Cornette is great here. Loved him pacing around and fuming. Del Ray crushes a paper cup in anger which was pretty funny. He moves on to a hat, struggles a bit but gets the job done. -
[1994-03-05-WWF-Superstars] Funeral Parlor: Owen Hart
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Love Owen's entrance music. This was okay but just felt with this storyline that Paul Bearer was not the right choice to be interviewing Owen.- 10 replies

Weird double commentary track that gets in the way. Physically, Baba has no business in the ring with these guys at this point. But I cannot help but watch his matches anyways. He is the ring a lot to start this match. His Boston Crab attempt his not the best. Stan does better. Ha, Kobashi does the rolling cradble on Baba. That was quite the sight. This match ends up going a pretty long time but not in a bad way. Baba follows up Inoki from earlier in the set. That was a surprise.

[1994-03-04-Michinoku Pro] Sato vs Super Delphin (Mask vs Hair)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Sato's top rope dive is crazy for someone his build. He pulls it off great. Thought he had match won on that third powerslam. Post match chaos ensues after the finish. Good match but yeah I prefer these guys in the tag matches. And some more after match stuff as just when I was getting use to Sato with hair.- 9 replies

Digging the crowd response right off the bat. Headbutts all around. Tenryu with some nice little kicks to Onita’s face on the apron. He is really just taking a pounding in the face and head and gets bloodied. Goto interrupts pinfall after the powerbomb and Tenryu’s response is fantastic as he just knocks him out of the ring and smacks the crap out of Goto. Onita can’t get enough momentum and now Goto goes after Tenryu with a chair outside the ring. There is very little standing in the apron waiting for a tag here. All four guys involved nonstop. Goto and Anita do a lot of quick tags when Tenryu slowly making it back to his corner. Tenryu finally tags back in only for Goto to interrupt again and it’s more anger from Tenryu. But Goto is ready this time and he returns the favor with some help of a table. Onita and Tenryu go back and forth to a great heated finished. Onita can’t get Tenryu up first time with the Firebomb and drops him straight on top his end. Good job Tenryu had his hands in place for that one. Second attempt works. What I love about these yearbooks is coming across a match like this that haven’t seen before. Tenryu and Onita were awesome here. Match had action from the very beginning with no down time. One of my favorites matches on set so far.

Sasuke botched that pretty fantastically. He did a quick save but seemed to miss Orihara for the most part still. Not the easiest move to pull off anyways. This was better off to be JIP. Too long for what I was expecting from these guys. The last few minutes are really good though.

This was a nice little surprise. Thanks to the cameraman for improving his position after a few minutes. Nice action between two as this was good brawl. Funk hits a pretty good moonsault. Post match has Sabu hitting one of his own on a table which always seemed dangerous.

[1994-02-28-WWF-Raw] Interview: Shawn Michaels & Diesel
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
It does jump around weirdly and Stan's questions seem to be done in the studio, not in person. Even though he is there is person. -
[1994-02-26-WCW-Saturday Night] Vader vs Ricky Steamboat
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
Steamboat really took it to Vader early with the repeated chair shots. Race doesn't help his man by distracting the referee for a very long time. Harley makes up for this by beating up Steamboat outside the ring. Vader should not be attempting sunset flips. Patrick let Race get away with way too much here. Not the best officiating.- 10 replies

Del Ray had a terrific looking powerbomb on Blaze. Match felt short but we get pretty good beatdown after with Morton getting all bloodied.

[1994-02-26-SMW-TV] Music Video: The Thrillseekers
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
The video gets more and more silly as it goes on and gives me a good laugh. Riding horses was just bizarre. Storm seems so awkward but it's an improvement over him trying to be serious for a moment.- 12 replies

[1994-02-26-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Shawn Michaels
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
Basic stuff here from Shawn though I do like them giving an explanation to the audience on what the ladder match is about. -
Nice little match but surprised to see it made it on this set. Thought Yoko/Savage would have been included over this just for Savages last chance at the title. It does continue the Bret/Owen feud so I guess I'm okay with the in the end.

[1994-02-20-WCW-Superbrawl IV] Ric Flair vs Vader (Cage)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
Screw job type finish here with Boss calling for the bell on Vader when in figure four. That wasn't the finish I was looking for. All the extra interference here did not help this match live up to the great promos we were getting leading in.- 9 replies

Agreed. The cage seemed to be more in the background. Pillman gets tossed into the cage a few times but I kept waiting for this to get to the next level and it didn't.

[1994-02-20-WCW-Superbrawl IV] Arn Anderson vs Steven Regal
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
I appreciate what they are trying to do here but I'm not as high on it as the rest of you. Hey this is still good and they succeeded on keeping me watching through the end. The pinfall definitely surprised me as I thought a draw was going to be the obvious finish so that was a plus for me. Arn's arm work to start didn't make sense when Regal had his leg wrapped up. Arn finally goes to the leg towards the end but it had me thinking what took so long to do that. Regal was better here. I can't imagine this type of match would happen in WWE these days.- 29 replies

Flair is great here. His promos have been fantastic on this set. I'm really curious to watch things as this set progresses with him since didn't watch a whole lot of WCW at this time.- 7 replies

[1994-02-19-WCW-Saturday Night] Vader public workout
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in February 1994
I remember when I saw the original match listing for set and seeing Vader Public Workout that this could be alot of fun. Really good Vader promo to start. I can't imagine how jobbers use to feel when the saw they would be facing Vader at TV tapings. Vader looks incredibly deadly. You would think Flair would have no chance in a cage.- 8 replies
