The Brother Love show, Barber Shop & Funeral parlour produced many the great moment on Superstars. Another fond memory for me was the debut of LOD. I knew them as The Road Warriors from PWI magazine and was pumped to see them arriving when they were teased. The LOD debut was funny as you'd think with them being such a massive signing they'd have done some vignettes for them but it was just "next week the debut of the LOD" Yup!!! According to Prichard & Animal? Vince wanted them to debut as soon as possible so vignettes went out the window. Vinnie reckoned they didn't need them to get over because they would be an instant hit. Of course he was right. |

I used to love that about the end of Superstars, because they would show you who would be wrestling the following week and they said, "The Legion of Doom will be here" and I remember it was Animal with Hawk behind him walking down the aisle. And even at age 9 I was like, "Legion of Doom....?? The Road Warriors are in the WWF?!?! Oh wow!!" They also did that in 1993 for when The Quebecers debuted. Just "next week, the debut of The Quebecers!" And I remember thinking, "Jacque and Raymond...??" but then it was Pierre. Which was alright, since I liked the Quebecers way more than I liked the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers. |

The Quebecers were a damn good duo IMHO......Its a pity The Steiner's couldn't behave themselves in WWF. WMX was meant to be where they regained the straps for the boys.....but sure we all know the story there. |

I've always been a fan of the Quebecers too. A great team that missed out on the potential due to a lack of other quality opposition.
Like most people I loved the fabulous rougeaus entrance music though

I was digging out some old Superstar shows from my huge wrestling dvd collection today. I got to tell you guys all these years later the shows are still classics.
It's sad to see how great wrestling was then to the crap we got today.

I just so badly wish that the WWE Network would put those Superstars and Wrestling Challenge shows up for us to watch. The only thing I can think of that's stopping them from doing so, is they have to go through them and maybe edit some stuff, like music and such.

I got a majority of the seasons in my collection but it'd be nice to see WWE put them out in HD on the Network. |

I had them too from years of either tape trading or downizelloading (I tried to speak in kayfabe there haha) but the quality isn't always the best. Its taped off TV, so its not always clear. Or the tape has been watched so many times that it can cut in and out. The WWE Network at least would give us clear quality and it would be easy to watch and enjoy. |

Majority of the episodes I got are fairly decent quality. I since converted them all from VHS to DVD since I know the tapes will eventually fade. |
