General thoughts about 1994


Loss

Recommended Posts

just thought of something right now...

 

i think 1994 is an awfully similar year to 1990 in terms of the american wrestling landscape. in both years:

 

- WCW was absolutely on fire in terms of match quality during the first half of the year, but didn't draw and degenerated into hideously-booked cartoon garbage over the second half of the year

 

- the WWF mostly sucked but gave us one quality main-event feud (hogan-earthquake::bret-owen)

 

- there was a new indie sensation getting a lot of buzz in the apter mags & dirtsheets (lightning kid::sabu)

 

 

obviously WCW was in better shape with hogan than with the black scorpion, and 1990's last-gasp territories (e.g. USWA-TX) gave way to 1994's smoky mountain & ECW...but i think there's a lot here.

that's a really good catch! and both those guys were quite underrated in different ways: slaughter for his work in the ring during that period, and backlund for his character stuff during a weak era for that. although, slaughter obviously has much more of an outright bad rap given the tastelessness of that whole deal...
