I'm really surprised the B-show has results but the A-show doesn't. Looks fairly obvious, though. Wonder who Patera's opponent ended up being.

JW Storm was part of Maximum Overdrive in WCW for a hot minute.

Would love to see a Tito/DiBiase match at their heights; I'm afraid this probably wasn't it.

Mountie/Knobbs/HBK is a really weird trio.

Did Bret do the Bushwacker march?

An Owen/Brunzell team circa 1988 or 1989 wold have been ****ing amazing.

Chris Walker. When you're jobbing twice a day to the Warlord, you know your time with the company isn't going to be long.

Mideon and Ivory?

Funaki took out the whole Mean Street Posse? The hell?

Why was Slaughter getting an IC title shot in the year 2000?

My head hurts just looking at 2000 results.

2004/02/29: WWE SmackDown @ Carnival City Casino in Brakpan (South Africa)

5. Mickie James and Maria defeated Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall
6. Chris Jericho defeated Mr. Kennedy
7. WWE Title Match: Randy Orton (c) defeated Jeff Hardy

That's another very weird pair of tag pairings for the opener. Davey Jr and Super Crazy? Murdoch and Haas? Odd.

2016/02/29: WWE RAW #1188 - Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee
1. Neville defeated Viktor
2. Natalya defeated Summer Rae
3. #1-Contender Match (WWE Divas Title): Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks ended without a winner (9:50 minutes)

Funny that one Leap Year later, two of these guys would be headlining AEW's PPV and a third (from the opening dark match, at that) was in the match right before it.

In case you're wondering, yes Bret DID do the Bushwacker march. Somewhere there's a GIF of Bret doing that, and it's from around this time.

Greetings from Allentown did a podcast this week about the February 29th, 1992 episode of Superstars, and Peter explains it all. (Fun note: this episode was the last edition of the Funeral Parlor, where Jake locked Taker's hand in the casket, then Taker dragged it behind him trying to get at Roberts.)

Weird that they apparently didn’t do a show on Leap Day 1996. But I guess it was a Thursday and I think they were scaling back the number of shows they were doing at the time because business wasn’t so hot so maybe that’s why.

[David-Arquette was in WCW 2000]

For some reason Mideon and Ivory teamed up a bunch of times on Sunday Night HeAT.

That 2000 card looks like a randomly generated card from Smackdown 2 on the PS1.

Uncle, actually. And that was why Swinger went by the name "Johnny Parisi" during his WWE run back in 2005-06.

1992/02/29: WWF @ Springfield Civic Center in Springfield, Massachusetts
6. Earthquake and Typhoon defeated Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter by disqualification

Interesting. This probably would've taken place, then, after they turned face against Money Inc and Jimmy Hart but before it aired on TV.

Did Bret do the Bushwacker march?

Heh. Suddenly them wanting him to do that at their WWE HOF induction makes perfect sense....he was a Bushwacker the whole time.

Chris Walker. When you're jobbing twice a day to the Warlord, you know your time with the company isn't going to be long.

They apparently signed him alongside Chris Chavis (aka Tatatatattttanka) in late 91 and had them both wrestling dark matches & such for their first month or 2. They came up with the Tatanka gimmick quick for Chavis and that ended up, but they never came up with a gimmick for Walker. He got some TV wins on Prime Time and weekend shows for a bit, then a bunch of losses to Warlord (like they were testing a program for him, with a guy who was also soon to be done with the WWF), and then they stopped thinking of ideas so he was just there wrestling dark/taped/house show matches until mid-92 or so.

Mideon and Ivory?

Funaki took out the whole Mean Street Posse? The hell?

Why was Slaughter getting an IC title shot in the year 2000?

My head hurts just looking at 2000 results.

Insane, but fond memories of that time....

But srsly, Crash beat Tazz in under 2 minutes in NJ 1 month after Tazz's big WWE debut?

*Looks up Horshu.*

Oh, no!

Thanks, that was a fun little match and interaction to set it up. Sarge looked pretty good all things considered, he even pulled out his iconic bump over the top turnbuckle.

Very likely a high school fundraiser. Some of WWE's worst cards ever were on those high school gym C-shows.
