I was doing some cleaning and found some old lineup sheets from house shows I attended at the since-closed Niagara Falls Convention center. If I remember correctly, they slid these into the most recent issue of WWF magazine and called them "programs." Anyway, here are the line-ups for the shows
Yikes, not exactly supercards........

That pretty much depicts the scene in WWF at that time...and in wrestling in general. 1994/1995 weren't exactly great years for the sport in general...

^Very true about that being a downtime/transition period.
Not exactly supercards but not bad either. All the major names are appearing.
And lots of those guys are "name" guys now.

Razor vs Waylon Mercy sounds oddly appealing.

On the late 94 leg of the tour, Bam Bam was replaced in some matches against Adam Bomb with... Johnny Polo. I mean, as much as I love the prospect of Mabel vs. Kwang I'd have a reason to go! (even though he jobbed  ) |

Yikes, not exactly supercards........ Back then - when regular WWF programming did not feature star vs. star (well, before RAW anyway) - this sh*t was gold to us fans. On the late 94 leg of the tour, Bam Bam was replaced in some matches against Adam Bomb with... Johnny Polo. I mean, as much as I love the prospect of Mabel vs. Kwang I'd have a reason to go! (even though he jobbed ) Really? I thought Polo was gone by late '94. Did they bring him back as a JTTS, or did he just job out of the company against - of all people - the guy he debuted alongside of in 1993? |

123 Kid vs. Hakushi sounds awesome.

These cards don't sound all that bad. I'd say it could equal or maybe surpass most WWE cards of today.

He was gone after Jacques Rougeau's "retirement show" on October 21st. He had no televised matches during this period, and had been taken off of All American in July (the angle being DiBiase had bought him out for the Million Dollar Corporation to have a forum to speak in) |

Somewhere I still have the orginal sheet that came with the event programs of a couple shows. One from 95 and the other 96. Not sure where they are. Don't remember all the matches either. There neat to look back on.

Business was so bad, they had a house show at my high school. This card looks awful. (Although I heard it was a favor to the Grucci fireworks family, who resides in the area...)
So nice, they had Mike Bell twice.

An odd tactic for back then...Polo musta known the writing was on the wall at that point. |

Bret Hart defending against Jim Neidhart. Ugh, I'll bet that was horrible.

Yea it probably wasn't very good but it's interesting for historical reasons. I don't recall them ever having a match but I missed a lot of early 90's WWF.

I would have loved to attend one of those shows. The last show they did in Paris in 1993, before coming back in 2007, had a pretty poor card (with Bret Hart and The Undertaker nowhere to be seen).

That August '95 one doesn't seem that bad to me. I would probably have enjoyed that card.

An odd tactic for back then...Polo musta known the writing was on the wall at that point. I think it was because he'd joined the creative team and Vince was getting sick of his antics with Shane and Steph. He was kept off TV to focus on the creative role and as a way for Vince to punish him. |

Bret and Owen in the no holds barred matches were awesome, they had a great one on the Raw prior to WM 11

123 Kid vs. Hakushi sounds awesome. They had a damn fine little match at Summerslam 95. Don't remember if it had a storyline behind it or not, but I remembered really enjoying it. |
