Wrestling Results - February 8, 1993

[Joe Neglia]

WWF @ Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, Germany

1. Virgil defeated Repo Man
2. Samu and Fatu defeated Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke
3. Rick Martel defeated Max Moon
4. Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Big Boss Man
5. WWF Tag Team Titles Match: Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster (c) defeated Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags
6. The Undertaker defeated Papa Shango
7. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Bret Hart (c) defeated Ric Flair

Still feels weird that Boss Man was still around when Bigelow returned. They just feel like completely different eras.

This isn't a bad card. Not great, but not bad.

WWF @ Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland

1. Damien Demento vs. El Matador ended without a winner as a time limit draw
2. Skinner defeated Jim Powers
3. Kamala defeated Kim Chee
4. WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Bob Backlund defeated Shawn Michaels (c) by countout
5. Jim Brunzell defeated The Predator
6. Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner defeated Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly
7. Yokozuna defeated Randy Savage
8. Tatanka defeated Razor Ramon

This card on the other hand, blows. I love Damien Demento, but going to a time limit draw with Tito in the opener? No thanks. Steiners having a rematch with the New Minnesota Wrecking Crew was probably okay and the Backlund/Michaels pairing looks...interesting, but otherwise...meh.

Jim Powers was still arou--holy crap, Jim Brunzell was still around?!?!?!

The Predator was Hogan's nephew Horace. He was briefly with the company but never made TV.

Big Sky = Tyler Mane, aka Woman's bodyguard Nitron and Sabretooth in the first X-Men film.

Shanghai Pierce = Mark Canterbury/Henry Godwinn and Tex is Dennis "Mideon" Knight/Phineas Godwinn

Taz in WCW? Neat.

Windham and Orndorff as a team looks odd, but kinda cool.

Brad Anderson = son of Gene Anderson and thus, the only other "real" Anderson besides Gene. He also wore a pink bodysuit as Zan Panzer.

Mustafa Saed???

Johnny Gunn = Tom "Salvatore Sincere" Brandi

Fury and Rage were the Wrecking Crew (not to be confused with any iteration of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew). Rage was good ol' Al Green, while Fury was Mark Laurinaitis, brother of Road Warrior Animal and Johnny People Power.

I would love to have attended this card. Such a weird collection of workers for 1993. Raven, Foley, Maxx Payne, Steamboat, Benoit, the future ECWers, Vader's rampages...such an eclectic mix.

USWA @ Memphis, Tennessee

1. Master of Terror #1 defeated Chris Michaels
2. The Rock 'n' Roll Phantom defeated Danny Davis

4. Downtown Bruno vs. Howard Finkel ended without a winner as a no contest
5. Mike Samples, Ron Harris and Don Harris defeated Moondog Spot, Moondog Spike and Richard Lee
6. Jerry Lawler and Jeff Jarrett defeated Doink the Clown and Jeff Gaylord

Phantom was Don Bass.

Prentice vs. Jacqueline had to be...odd

Wippleman vs. the Fink right after? The WWF invasion of USWA was weird. And prophetic.

This Doink was Matt Borne

1. Suzuka Minami vs. Toshiyo Yamada ended without a winner as a time limit draw (30 minutes)
2. Yumiko Hotta, Manami Toyota and Takako Inoue defeated Aja Kong, Kaoru Ito and Terri Power
