So I've been watching some early 90s WCW stuff on YouTube. WCW Power Hour and WCW Main Event. This was before I really knew about WCW. At this time, the only wrestling I even knew existed as a kid was WWF. So I've never seen any of it. But I really wish I could see this stuff in better quality. Too blurry.
Some great wrestling matches mixed in with some pretty dang ridiculous stuff. I wanted to share one of those ridiculous things I that made me speechless: The Minotaur. They tried to push this guy as an actual half-man/half-beast. I didn't see a match, just a promo. Apparently I would've had to tune in next week on WCW Saturday Night to see him in action for the first time (which I can't find barely any full WCW Saturday Night episodes on YouTube before 1997).
And I wanted to share a pic of a young Marcus Bagwell, better known to wrestling fans as Buff Bagwell. Hilarious haircut!
Seeing Stunning Steve Austin was great, too. He was more of a high-flyer back then. T.V. Champ in this era that I'm watching. Saw a young Harlem Heat (with different individual names, too, Booker T was Coal and I didn't catch Stevie Ray's name), the Steiners were being talked about through an entire episode, they were a great new tag-team set to face Ricky Morton and Barry Windham for the NWA Tag Team Championships (which were separate from the WCW Tag Team Championship which the Hollywood Blondes held (Austin & Brian Pillman)). And I saw an early Diamond Dallas Page match! This is when he was with Vinnie Vegas (Kevin Nash), but he was nowhere to be seen. And Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) had a squash match against some nobody.
Great stuff! It was a lot of fun seeing these guys earlier in their careers. And Jim Ross doing his J.R. thing, but younger.
