Thanks for tackling my topic!
I was pleasantly surprised at the 1993 appreciation. It’s so easy to trash it on the surface but even Worldwide(up until the Disney tapings) was still important and had fun matches like Rude/Dustin for the US title and Vader/Steamboat for the World title. I think they called those title matches the Computer Challenge series.
Also, watch Flair vs Sting for the NWA title from an August 1993 Saturday Night if you’ve never seen it.
So far I’ve got a pretty similar ranking as you guys outside Allan’s 1994 hate:
1989 – A+ (if the round robin is the worst thing from that year, no other year can touch that)
1992 – A
1994 – B+
1990 – B
1993 – C+
1991 – C+
1995 – D+ (The undercard saves this year from being any worse – Pillman, Badd, Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, etc but you’re right about it being the inverse of 1994.)
Thanks for asking and glad you enjoyed! Allan is out of his mind on 1994!
Thanks for the match rec, will check it out.
