SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 11:33 Min.
Televised on January 22, 1994, this WCW Saturday Night six-man main event was filmed at WCW’s Atlanta, GA studio: the Center Stage Theater. On one side stands Sting, The Boss (Ray Traylor – formerly the WWF’s Big Boss Man and the UWF’s Big Bubba Rogers), and, in the aftermath of Starrcade 1993, the newly crowned WCW World Champion, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Accompanying this trio to ringside is fellow wrestler, Ice Train.
Opposing them are WCW International World Champion “Ravishing” Rick Rude, WCW U.S. Champion “Stunning” Steve Austin, and a supposedly resentful ex-WCW World Champion, Ron Simmons. Accompanying them is Austin’s manager, Col. Robert Parker.
The announcers are Tony Schiavone & Jesse “The Body” Ventura.
REVIEW:
Given the considerable star power involved, one would expect in-ring fireworks. While waiting for some burst of welcome chaos, viewers instead get formulaic tag action. Hence, this average TV six-man showdown is enjoyably watchable (including Ventura & Schiavone’s repartee) for the right reasons. It’s just not memorable.
