I'm really looking forward to see the crowd reaction to Buzz. He was still a heel but just about to turn. The Abby match had to be a trial balloon.
The match is the most chaotic on the card and Sawyer is definitely positioned as the babyface.

The hidden gems addition for today is another good one, offering up a near-complete card of the first event at the Omni after The Last Battle of Atlanta:

Being totally objective, (the new generation was the peak of my childhood fandom but not the start) there really weren’t too many great episodes of Raw in 1994. It still wasn’t the true A show yet as Superstars still claimed some of the big angles in 1994 while the roster continued to shrink as WCW simmered and brought in Hogan. It wasn’t rock bottom like 1995 but 1994 was when things started to really decline.
