Agreed.  I'm also nostalgic for 95 WCW as teenage fan who watched it back then, and I can laugh at the horrible Hogan stuff and other assorted bullshit, but it's undoubtedly more interesting than modern WWE and had a lot of freedom to it that allowed people to get over.  And WCW had great fans who added to the product

I wonder what younger modern fans would think seeing that stuff for the first time.  I think a lot of it has become meme'd over the years

I remembered this time period of fun memories seeing this on DSF as was the only way to catch WCW in the UK but I got wondering say they couldn't get Hogan to sign in 94 what they would have done.

While we had just done the Vader/Flair feud at the end of 93/94 with Steamboat and Flair going into the Spring of 94 what angle comes next? Do we lead into a Sting/Flair feud for Starrcade 94 or maybe trying to make the Steamboat feud last longer?

Always wonder what would have happened if they got Savage first, then Hogan say in 95 or 96. Or even not at all. WCW where the worst thing we worry about is how much time Lanny gets jobbing out to Johnny B. Badd or managing High Voltage would have been nice.

Pardon me if this has already been discussed but I stumbled across this fact while online and thought I'd bring it up.

Apparently Eric Bischoff's main rival for executive producer was Jim Ross with Tony Schiavone also angling for the job. How does WCW change under Ross or even Schiavone?

I've been watching 1994 WCW and it's really surprised me with how good the weekly shows are - Saturday Night & Worldwide especially. I tuned wrestling out in the early 90's beyond video games and the occasional WWF weekend recap show. I'm really sorry that I missed this back growing up because it was more serious and wrestling oriented as opposed to the corny/for kiddies characters of WWF at this time.
