Awesome. I've been wanting more classic episodes of Superstars.

I’ve actually never seen the Yoko/Duggan match. Was censored in my syndie market and replaced with Perfect/Flair from Raw.

I came to this forum today thinking about when they would upload 1993 episodes. Are they going to upload the entire year in one go?

I heartily endorse this. Those Superstars shows are so easy to watch.

Admittedly, I would've liked to have seen a little more added, maybe up to mid-93, but I heartily welcome any uploads of classic Superstars. We didn't start getting Raw in our cable package until about mid-96, so Superstars and Challenge were how I kept up-to-date with everything for quite a while.

I hadn't seen the Yoko/Duggan match in a while but I remember marking out when he knocked down Yoko even though he got his ass squashed afterwards.
The Shawn/Tatanka non-title match was pretty good from what I remember.

Sweet! I was at the taping for the Duggan/Yoko segment all those years ago. It'll be fun to watch that again.

I’d love for them to get into July on these. I went to a Superstars taping in Huntington, WV in June of 1993 and I never got to see the episodes from it that aired in July. The local station either stopped showing Superstars or moved it to some ungodly hour.

Sweet. Now at least for the first few months, one can get the whole angle developments since at that time both RAW and Superstars were equal as far as angle advancement goes.

First of all for the record, this was not Jerry Lawler WWF debut. He debuted 5 days earlier on Prime Time. Still it is interesting to hear early Jerry Lawler in his time before Jimmy Hart's face turn and hear Lawler saying possitive things about Jimmy. That is just weird to me, I am used to them being enemies since 1980. It is like if Heenan said good things about Hogan, it is just not right.

Okay I am watching the 12/19/82 episode, King does a good job of putting over Jimmy Hart as a heel but not at the same time. He calls him a snake in the grass and how he would sell out his men. Which you can intupret two ways, a heel putting over a heel for being a heel think of it as a compliment, which is what I think the genaral WWF audiance took that as, but still for the Memphus audiance you can intrupt as King still hates Hart. It works both ways.

I'll be honest; I side with Kimchee and Harvey Whippleman being abusive towards Kamala as opposed to Slick's "treating him with respect" philosophy. I know that comes off in extremely poor taste given the unfortunate undertones, but I also look at it like this; the only time they do anything with Kamala after he turns face was that Invasion of the Bodyslammers tape (they built a match with Bam Bam Bigelow at WrestleMania IX that was cancelled without explanation) where the Reverend struggles in vain to teach him how to bowl, and it appears that Kamala bowling a strike was purely by accident. Fans still had to guide the idiot on how to pin someone, and Kamala doesn't gain any semblance of intelligence under Slick's tutelage, which makes Slick also look like an idiot. I'm not asking for the savage to become an Oxford graduate, but if the only change the character has goes from "his manager punches him in the face when he inevitably screws up" to "his manager takes him out for ice cream after the show", what is there to care about, really?

The whole Kamala face turn with Slick, it is just a redo of the George the Animal Steele, subsitute Albano for Slick,it is the same storyline. Slick getting Kamala from Whippleman is kind of things going full circle. When Whippleman came in, he took all of Slick's clients like the Warlord, so when it look at this way, it is payback.

After watching a few of these, was RAW truly the "A" Show during this era? Superstars feels just as important. Hell, I think you got top guys on Superstars through out the mid-90's until it ended and it became a clip show (The Sunday Counterpart to Saturday's Livewire.)
