What was your favorite B-Show? I always liked Velocity back in the day. I know it wasn’t the best show but I always just had good memories watching it. I also liked WCW Saturday Night. Even though it wasn’t ever meant to be a b-show it kinda turned into one in its later days.

Always loved the squash shows so Superstars/Challenge immediately come to mind.I also didnt mind Mania. Pettengill was perfect as host of that show.
As far as the WCW side goes, I gotta shout out Power Hour, Worldwide and Main Event. Just fun shows overall.
And it's funny you mention Velocity, I've dug out some shows from my collection recently. Just watched Chavo vs Ultimo Dragon from March 04. Good show for the cruiserweights.

Here’s a good one I haven’t thought about in years. Anyone else remember watching the pre-ppv show on the preview channel in the mid 90s?  |

Superstars was the ‘A’ show, so I guess that makes Challenge the ‘B’ show. PrimeTime was great because it gave you a lot of house show matches you never saw elsewhere. Could it be considered the ‘C’ show? All American was really just for completists. Definitely last in line.
So to answer the Q, I’ll say Challenge.

I always looked at PTW as the A show since it was the night show and they showed stuff you didnt see elsewhere like you mentioned. Superstars was definitely the A show over Challenge as far as squash shows go but to me was 2nd in line to PTW. |

I enjoyed Heat and Velocity back in the RA Era.
I also really enjoyed Superstars back in 2011/2012. In fact, one of my favourite matches happened on that show - Regal vs Bryan.

You needed cable to watch PTW. If you only watched Superstars, you knew everything that was going on. |

Rude/heenan and piper, Mr perfects return in 92 and lower level was the brawler/rooster angle. |

Rude/heenan and piper, Mr perfects return in 92, steiners and lawlers first appearance and lower level was the brawler/rooster angle. Just a few I can think of. And the update segment on each show gave u the info on what was big happening regardless which you watched |

This is the exact answer I would post too. I loved heat as I watched it on a Wednesday morning before school at my dads, and when I went to his at the weekends I'd always watch Velocity because it was on before Smackdown. Superstars used to be on Sky 1 and I watched that on a Saturday morning. Always seemed better wrestling matches on that show compared to Raw and Smackdown. I'll throw in NXT before it was it's own brand. It was a fun show! |
