I liked Brad Armstrong quite a bit. My fave though was Mike Enos.

wow that Gambler/Butch Long vs Lod match was like 2 minutes but after that is some truly great stuff ... a power plant commercial and the debut of the booty man.

I actually have about two or three years of WCW Saturday Night taped. So, so many wasted hours. I dunno, in the early 90's they were a very good show actually. I liked the Steamboat/Austin match they had over the TV title.

Saturday Night was awesome. I remember when Teddy Long managed an all-star group that included a face Craig Pittman and Joey Maggs. Good times.
I also vaguely remember SN before WCW cut the rug from under it, where they actually built some people up. I think it was a Jimmy Hart guy called Hail or whatever...I loved it because they actually had a guy built just for SN.
And anyone who doesn't say The Gambler is crazy. He ruled.

Emory Hale was the guy you're thinking of. He passed away early last year due to kidney failure.

I noticed there hasn't been any mention of... HORSCHU, a man who had a haircut shaped like a horse shoe. How creative is that?

Well, it's somewhat creative, it's not like WWE was churning out great ideas at the time either. It was their premiere show before Nitro came out, which I think a lot of people forget. The second show underneath it was Worldwide as a lot of storylines would happen on those shows.

I loved it when WCW brought the Beverly Brothers in as a jobber tag team and renamed them as Mike Enos and...I forget the other one. Wayne Bloom was it? That brief reunion was really bad ass. And I believe Enos was originally brought in as The Mauler...awesome.
I'd love WWE to have a low-level show taped in a TV studio with just squash and low-level feud matches on it. I say, move Heat to a TV studio in Hartford. That would totally rock my world.

I don't think Saturday Night became like that till 99-00 and they were doing shows in smaller arenas at the time as well. Yeah, it was Enos and Bloom, but Enos teamed with Dick Slater and formed Rough N'Ready before that.

How can I forget the man who would yell out "No business like SHU business" before belting out his finisher? Of course he never was succesful hitting the finisher, which is why he was a WCW Sat Night superstar. Oh and eventually he went on to become Kurt Angle's bodyguard, but we all know his career highlight was as THE 'SHU.

Even though he has been mentioned with his tag team partner Lt James Earl Wright as the State Patrol, Sgt Buddy Lee Parker was also on the show many times as a single wrestler as well.

I actually believed "Hardwork" Bobby Walker would eventually win the TV title... I also thought Fire & Ice (Scott Norton and Ice Train) were a great team.
I was a stupid kid.
