Wrestling Observer Flashbacks 1994 — page 3

So with the year in PPV finally caught up, let us venture back to the world of 1994 again, with rumors of Hulk Hogan jumping to WCW heating up.  But first, we finally close the book on Jerry Lawler…

And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, as we’re about to hit another legit new era in professional wrestling, one of the delineation points where you say “Yeah, things are about to change forever.” 

Of course, I can only be speaking about SUPERBRAWL IV.

And, you know, that other thing.

Well, ECW got the cover story last week, so it’s only fair that Smoky Mountain gets it THIS week…

Happy Valentine’s Day for those of you in 1994 who were engaged in relationships at the time. Not me, I was busy skipping all my university classes and playing Doom in the computer labs with other wannabe programmers and reading RSPW during programming classes.  I don’t remember how to write in C++ or machine language anymore, but I could sure tell you how to use nn on a Unix box if you asked me. 

I feel like I’m off-topic already.  To the news!

Rumors are flying about…

Nah…

…it’d never happen.

Would it?

The teaser for this one promises “the sleaziest PPV ever”.  Man, if he’s only talking about the Rumble, I’m gonna be disappointed.

BUT FIRST!  It’s a day ending in “y”, so it’s time for WCW to change bookers again.

OK, time to compare house show business from 1992 to 1993.  Thrilling!

It’s time for the 1993 Observer Awards!  Since this is all awards rundown and listing of major shows for the year, it’s might be REALLY short.  So don’t say I didn’t warn you. 

Christmas is done, so it’s time for Dave to catch up on the news!

Onto another year!  And of course, we kick off 1994 with Starrcade ‘93, and one of the biggest matches of Ric Flair’s career.  And a lengthy rundown of his career, so hopefully you’ve got some snacks handy.
