I've been watching some old episodes of Superstars from '94, and I'd forgotten how utterly terrible WWF was then. Yes they had Bret, Shawn and Owen, but overall the roster is pretty thin. Some things that stand out:
- I can't believe how much airtime they are devoting to this stupid Jerry Lawler vs Doink storyline. Midcard comedy feuds have always been part of wrestling, but this just drags on and on. Also, Lawler is absolutely terrible on commentary; just one bad joke after another. And having Mr. "What a manoeuvre!" beside him doesn't help.
- Well Dunn. Not only the stupidest name for a tag team, but also the worst outfit with the thong on the outside of their tights. It looked better when Asuka did it. They actually weren't bad wrestlers, but they never had a chance there.
- Abe Knuckleball Schwartz. It's an idiotic gimmick, but the worst part is that they're actually bothering to repackage Steve Lombardi, who was synonymous with the word jobber. I mean, Hogan has signed with WCW, and they're making a run at being legitimate competition for WWF. And Vince's response is a new gimmick for Steve Lombardi????
