Wrestling Observer Flashback – 08.21.95

Are you ready for WAR?  WCW might be.  Let’s find out!

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 08.14.95

Guys, I know this will come as a shock, but ECW isn’t getting along with a TV network.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 08.07.95

Gonna try to get these consistently out on Friday mornings now.

Guys, it’s looking like Ricky Morton might not be around the business for much longer.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 07.31.95

I know this year has been a slog, but we’re getting closer to September, when the magic happens!

But first, WWF returns to your house!  Whether you wanted them there or not.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 07.24.95

Oh man, Dave is REALLY into this UFC thing now.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 07.17.95

Like sands through the hourglass, so go the days of our lives.

And in other news, Ric Flair has been fired as booker again.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 07.10.95

Oh man, there’s about to be wrestlers in a SHOOT, and Dave is hyped.  Like Kenny Omega at the Tokyo Dome with full on jazz hands.

Did I do that right?

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 07.03.95

OK then, who’s ready for KING OF THE RING?  “So how bad was it?”  is the very first question posed by this issue.  So you know we’re in for some good shit, PAL.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 06.26.95

Well, originally I was just going to repost One Night Only, but I decided to do a Flashback on Xmas Eve as well.  So MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Also, WCW had a PPV.  And it was pretty good!

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 06.19.95

Last week:  Dave made an off-hand comment about Eric Bischoff having a meeting with Ted Turner.

You of course know where this is going.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 06.12.95

Hey, remember that NBC special that WWF has been so excited about?

Yeah, about that…

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 06.05.95

So it seems like the WWF is going to be on a major network again! Never thought we’d see the day.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 05.29.95

Things are looking up for the WWF, and Vince wants everyone to know! Because, you know, 1995 is well remembered for being the year that they made their big comeback.

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 05.22.95

(Carrying on! Another one written on or about 09.22.19 as I try to get as much done as possible in advance.)

And now…the WWF is IN YOUR HOUSE!

(Ironically, Diesel’s title reign was tanking crowds so badly that they were literally shooting TV in people’s houses by that point…)

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 05.15.95

(Hello from the past! I’m actually writing this a couple of weeks in advance so I can have some material banked for when I’m at my work conference, so if I make any horribly inappropriate remarks about someone who just died on the weekend or whatever, it’s because this was originally done on 9/22/19).

Kicking off this week, it’s news that the WCW Disney tapings could be in danger of changing for good!

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 05.08.95

So there was a big show in Korea you might have heard about before…

So UFC V did a giant buyrate, and people are starting to take notice…

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 04.17.95

Previously in the Flashback… https://blogofdoom.com/index.php/2019/08/01/wrestling-observer-flashback-04-10-95-part-2/

The headline for this one is “Wrestlemania Tanks”, so I can only assume that Rusev was involved somehow?

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 04.10.95 (Part 2)

Continuing on! Last time we covered Wrestlemania and the giant Tokyo Dome show, and now we dig into the news, starting with major WCW shakeups…
